Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people and a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attracts the tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must have 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. Business 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 (配套设施) 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 many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, job and money are lost. 1.Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection? A. Planning is of great importance to tourism. B. It is very necessary to develop tourism. C. Why is proper planning needed to develop tourism. D. How to develop successful tourism. 2. The underlined word “inhabitants” in Para.1 probably mean _____ A. tourists B. natives C. foreigners D. customers 3.It is certain that ______ A. tourism industry is the most important industry in a country. B. tourism developing is do no good to the inhabitants. C. the inhabitants must benefit a lot from the tourism industry if it is properly planned. D. facilities building is a waste of money. 4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Too much tourism can cause a bad effect on other industries. B. Too much tourism can cause heavy pressure on traffic. C. Too much tourism can change the people’s value system in the destination country. D. Too much tourism can sometimes annoy the local people.

A new study says that birds living in big cities sing shorter, faster songs that are higher-pitched (高音调的) than those sung by their brothers in the forests. The researchers think that the birds adjust their songs to allow themselves to be heard over the noises of the city, especially the low traffic noise. To study how urban birds song, Hans Slabbekoorn and Ardie den Bore, biologists at the University of Leiden in Netherlands, travelled around Europe and recorded bird songs in ten major cities and in nearby forests. The species they focused on, the great tit (大山雀), is widespread across Eurasia and one of the few types of birds that thrives in big cities. Singing is crucial (重要的) for males, which use their songs to attract mates and mark out their territory. The changing songs could play a role in eventually causing the city birds and the forest dwellers to evolve into separate species. The findings could also help explain why usually only a few bird species thrive in cities. By contrast, many more bird species tend to be found in forests and other undeveloped habitats. Studies like this could eventually help researchers predict how urbanization (都市化) will affect birds, using this knowledge could help urban planners design more pleasant city environments, study co-author Slabbe-koorn said. “You can make a city much more livable if you pay attention to where the noise goes and where the people go,” he said. “It would be easy to fit the birds into those models.” Then cities wouldn’t be strictly for the people, but also for the birds. 1. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Birds Change Songs to Suit Country Life B. Birds Change Sex to Suit Urban Life C. Birds Change Living Habits to Suit Urban Life D. Birds Change Songs to Suit Urban Life 2. Males usually sing their songs to ____. A. evolve into another species B. attract mates and mark out their living area C. attract city people’s attention and make them supply food D. allow themselves to be heard over the noises of the city 3. The underlined word “thrives” in the second paragraph means “____”. A. dies B. survives C. suffers D. travels 4.What is NOT the effect that studies of birds’ songs have? A. Predicting how course of the city’s expanding will affect birds. B. Helping the city planners design more pleasant city environments. C. Making cities more livable for both the birds and people. D. Driving the urban birds back to the forest.

Energy is very important in modern life. People use energy to run machines, heat and cool their homes, cook, give light, and transport people and products from place to place. Most energy comes from fossil fuels—petroleum, coal, and natural gas. However, burning fuels causes pollution. Also, if we don’t find new kinds of energy, we will use up all the fossil fuels in the twenty-first century. Scientists are working hard to find other kinds of energy for the future. What might these sources of energy be? Energy from the wind All over the world, people use the power of the wind. It turns windmills and moves sailboats. It is a clean source of energy, and there is lots of it. Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy. Energy from water When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it makes energy. This energy is used to create electricity. In Brittany, France, for example, waterpower produces enough energy to light a town of 40,000people. Waterpower gives energy without pollution. However, people have to build dams to use this energy. Dams cost a lot of money, so water energy is expensive. Energy from the earth There is heat in rocks under the earth. Scientists use this heat to make geothermal energy. San Francisco gets half of the energy it needs from geothermal power. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is possible only in a few places in the world. Energy from the sun Solar panels on the roofs of houses can turn energy from the sun into electricity. These panels can create enough energy to heat an entire house. Solar power is clean and there is a lot of it in sunny places. But when the weather is bad, there is no sunlight for energy. 1.What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Advantage of the energy from nature. B．The future of the energy. C．Scientists have been working hard to research other kinds of energy. D．energy is the most important power in the word. 2.From the first paragraph we know ______. A．energy can do everything for people B．all the energy causes pollution C．the new kinds of energy are badly needed D．scientists have found other kinds of energy for the future 3.What is the writer’s opinion about the energy? A．Try to use water energy more though it costs a lot. B．Each natural energy has its own advantages and disadvantages. C．Solar power is environmental. D．Wind power is the cheapest but we can’t get. 4.What can be inferred from the passage? A．In order to protect our environment, we should try other kinds of energy. B．All scientists in the world will unite to find energy. C．People in modern life use energy every day. D．Energy changes people’s lives.
