　　A

　　p a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.

　　Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

　　On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support

　　facilities

　　(设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

　　Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

　　C

　　Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系)which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so beause they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other,

　　they do better together.

　　Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

　　A. they can eat its parsites

　　B. they depend on the sheep for existence

　　B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.

　　C. Some plants depend on each other for food.

　　D. Some animals live bettcr together.

　　Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no”. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No”. Sweet and simple “no”.

　　Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no” to others means you are saying “yes” to yourself,” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

　　Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt （内疚） or fear of punishment.

　　“I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated （强制的）‘yes’”, she said.

　　Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no”. My advice is to say “yes” only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”

　　Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

　　But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes.

　　Don’t find yourself saying “no” to everything. In return you should learn to hear “no”.”

　　53. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself” in the second paragragh means ________.

　　A. you can have more time to play with others

　　B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy

　　C. you are selfish and treat others rudely

　　D. you can deal with your business as you have planned

　　54. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a ________.

　　A. secret way

　　B. polite way

　　C. proud way

　　D. guilty way

　　55 In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that ________.

　　A. they say “no” at a suitable time

　　B. they say “no” as much as possible

　　C. they are afraid of saying “no”

　　D. they make others angry at them

　　56. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receives may be that he or she ________.

　　A. enjoys a wonderful life

　　B. makes a lot of money

　　C. faces difficulty in life

　　D. forgets to say “yes” in the end

　　【答案解析】E

　　Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony (殖民地) than in exploring (勘探) it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set up the settlements (新拓居者) in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.

　　Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. It was the eastern coast of Australia and American that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.

　　Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australis won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly truned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

　　1. Who turned Australia into a colony?

　　A.Britain.

　　B.Several European countries.

　　C.The United States of America.

　　D.None of the above.

　　2. In the early history of America and Australia, both colonies developed towards the west firstly for her reaon that______.

　　A. the population was increasing rapidly in the east

　　B. the English thought there might be richer land there

　　C. gold was discovered there

　　D. fewer people lived there

　　3. In the early 1920s, ______.

　　A. Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep

　　B. there were more sheep in Australia than in the United States

　　C. the population in Australia was greater than that of the Untied States

　　D. the Untied States had twice as many sheep as people

　　4. Australia, unlike the Unted States,______.

　　A. won its independence by peaceful means

　　B. did not discover gold until the late 1840s

　　C. was the last and biggest continent to be discovered

　　D. was not rich in gold in its western part

　　5. The last sentence in the last paragraph "... Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world" means ______.

　　A. The United States and Australia do not have any main difference

　　B. The United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countries

　　C. The Untied States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the world

　　D. In common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differences

　　【答案解析】

　　1.【分析】本题属于细节题，文中有“…it was the Engtish who set up the settlements in Austrilia”一句，可以得出A为正确答案。

　　2.【分析】本题是细节题。从第二自然段中的...the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing一句，可以推断出本题选最佳答案为B。意思是“从东向西开发运动主要是因为英国人要寻找更好的土地而不是因为人口的增长。”

　　3.【分析】本题也是一道细节题，从文中的“by 1922，for example，Austrialia had fifteen times more sheop than it had people.”一句可以看出到1922年为止，澳大利亚的羊的数量是人的15倍。故本题A为正确答案。本题通过率为51％，区分度为0.493。

　　4.【分析】本题也是细节题。文中第三段有一句“The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Austrilia won its independence without having to go to war”一句，可以看出澳大利亚是没有通过战争和武力就获得独立的国家。而美国则不然。故本题最佳答案为A。

　　5.【分析】本题属于句意理解，意思是“美国和澳大利亚在许多地方都有共同点，而其它国家则没有这么相似的两个国家。故本题的最佳答案为B。
