The World Bank says there are about 650 million mobile phone users in Africa. That is greater than the number of users in the United States and European Union.
Samia Melhem works for the World Bank to increase information technologies in Africa. She says mobile phones are the fastest growing technology on the continent. “More people communicate by phone. More people have Internet access today in Africa than they have access to clean water, or even sanitation(卫生系统). So we can say this has been the most significant revolution in terms of changing how people live their daily life.”
CNN television says many ways of life have been changed because of mobile phones. They include political activism, education, entertainment, disaster management, agriculture and health.
Another area is banking. Reports say half or more of the adults use mobile money. Rene Mendy sells goods in the streets. But he never had enough money to open a bank account. Now he uses a mobile phone banking service called Orange Money. With his telephone, he can add or take out as little as one dollar. He can make payments and send money to family members who live far away.
Orange Money says it serves four million customers in ten countries. The World Bank's Samia Melham says, “The mobile banking is a huge trend. And people in the West don't understand it, because most people have bank accounts and credit cards. It provides cash at a much lower cost. The cost is the cost of sending an SMS, which is almost nothing compared to what traditional transfer(转账) agents, like Western Union, would charge 10 dollars or more for a particular money transfer.”
1. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Mobile phones users are increasing in Africa.
B. Mobile phones are changing lives in Africa.
C. A mobile phone banking service appears recently.
D. The mobile banking is a huge trend in the world.
2. According to the passage, we know Orange Money________.
A. charges less than traditional transfer agents
B. can't send money to those living far away

3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are six areas affected by mobile phones in Africa.
B. People in the West are against the use of the mobile banking.
C. The number of phone users in the US is larger than that in Africa.
D. Traditional banks face great challenges from mobile banking.

One might expect that the evergrowing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holidaymakers. Indeed，a rosy picture is painted for the longterm future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rockbound Pacific island is advertised
as the ‘last paradise (天堂) on
earth’．
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays，overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years,
Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels,
roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization；he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully,
the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist
development and
in fact obtain financial
support from tourist companies. At the same time，tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
4. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise.
B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C. The advertisement is not convincing.
D. The advertisement is not impressive.
5. The example of Nepal is used to suggest________.
A. its natural resources are untouched
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
6. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?
A. They are happy to work their own lands.
B. They have to please the tourists for a living.
C. They have to struggle for their independence.
D. They are proud of working in multinational organizations.
7. Which of the following determines the future of tourism?
A. The number of tourists.
B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products.
D. The management of tourism.
8. The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is________.
A. optimistic
B. doubtful
C. objective
D. negative

4．C。推理判断题。第一段中作者描述：每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆，每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告：这儿是世上最后的一处天堂。由作者的语气我们可以推断出这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了，故选C项。

7．D。推理判断题。倒数第二段第二句说，野生生物的保护，国家公园的创建要和旅游业的发展同时进行，又根据倒数第一段第一句，未来十年，如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。由此可推断出D项符合题意。
