Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension:(20%)
Directions:Read the following two passages and then choose the best answer to
each question.
(1)
Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality
of the urban environment.Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every
lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this
idea.At present it is generally accepted,although more as self-evident
statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof.The
recognition of the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment is a
first step on the right way,this does not mean,however,that sufficient
details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the
way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces.As to this rather complex
subject I shall,within the scope of this lecture,enter into one aspect only
namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.
The theoretical separation of living,working,traffic and recreation which for
many years has been used in town-and-country planning,has in my opinion
resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from
home,whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of
recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home.We have come
to the conclusion that this is not right,because an important part of the
time which we do not pass in sleeping or working,is used for activities at
and around home.So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin
at the street-door of the house.The urban environment has to offer as many
recreation activities as possible,and the design of these has to be such that
more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a
pleasant walk in the district,if the children cannot be allowed to play in
the streets,because the risks of traffic are too great,if during shopping you
can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather,in
short,if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house
is closed after you.
21.According to the author,the importance of greenspaces in the urban
environment _______.
A. is still unknown B. is usually neglected
C. is being closely studied D. has been fully recognized
22.The theoretic separation of living,working,traffic and recreation has led
to _______.
A. the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
B. the location of recreation facilities far from home
C. relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D. the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
23.The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspace should
be provided _______.
A. in special areas B. in the suburbs
C. in the neighborhood of the house D. in gardens and parks
24.According to the author,greenspace facilities should be designed in such a
way that _______.
A. more obligatory activities might take on a recreation aspect.
B. more and more people might have access to them
C. an increasing number of recreative activities might be developed
D. recreative activities might be brought into our homes
25.The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the
quality of our life
B. attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities
C. the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did
many years ago
D. priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities

room attendants.Their duties include recognizing the guests,introducing room

Room attendants have an intimate contact with the guests.A guest may ask the

not want to be disturbed at all,or he would like to have meals in his
room.Almost all hotels provide signs that the guest can hang on the doorknob
in either of these cases.In addition,guests frequently ask room attendant for
items that are supplied by the housekeeping department,such as
irons,transformers,special pillows,extra hangers,cribs for infants and hair
dryers.In some hotels,the room attendants pick up and deliver clothing for
the laundry and valet service.
Heavier chores are performed by men who are usually called housemen.Their
work involves window-washing,shampooing carpets,polishing metals,removing and

Increased leisure time,especially with 41 incomes in the developed
countries,has led to growing 42 for tourism both at home and 43 and the
expansion and improvement in 44 facilities.Four weeks' paid 45 a year had
become almost universal in these countries 46 the late 1965s despite the 47
recession.More people can travel further and stay 48 ,or take two major
holidays,often overseas,thus creating 49 in the nature and venues of
international 50 .This applies also to 51 tourism but the greatest growth
here has been in long 52 or a few days spent in short 53 from work
activities.These short breaks are taken in 54 to the main international
holiday.For the lower 55 groups,the improvement in domestic facilities has 56
more people to take short-break holiday 57 previously they may only have been
58 to take their annual holidays at 59 and just have one-or two-day
excursions to obtain a much needed change from 60 circumstances.

Ⅵ.Translate the following passages into Chinese(20%)
(1)
Increases in net discretionary incomes,especially of the younger age
groups,and improved educational standards increased interest in foreign lands
and cultures.So the demand for tourism increased.The occupation of the head
of the household,resultant promotion and the increase in the number of wives
going to work also affected the growth in demand.For example a person made a
company director would strive to take family,or at least the spouse,on a
winter holiday.They become a two-holiday-a-year family.A winter holiday in
the Caribbean or Far East became a status symbol.A wife's net earnings
increased the family income and its ability to buy more or better holidays.On
the other hand,the life cycle of the family can have negative effects on
demand.
(2)
As China's economy shifts to a more market system,the domestic travel
industry will face increasing challenges in a more highly competitive
environment.This will require domestic travel services to constantly study
their market conditions,design travel products according to the needs and
wants of tourists,and sell their travel products effectively to potential
markets.A successful domestic tourism industry in China relies on two levels
of coordination and operation.National and provincial governments need to
monitor regional trends in domestic travel patterns and develop measures for
guiding domestic travel growth.At the individual business level,domestic
travel services need to implement systematic management practices and
operations.China can only develop a successful domestic tourism industry if
there is a well-coordinated effort between the government and the private
travel industry.

Ⅵ.Translate the following passages into Chinese(20%)
(1)人们手中的可以随意支配的净收入增加了，尤其是年青人手中；教育水平的提高增加了人们对外国及其文化的兴趣，所以，旅游的需求也提高了。家庭户主的职业、工作的升迁，更多的妻子参加工作等也提高了旅游的需求。例如，一个做了公司总经理的人会设法带上全家，或者至少是配偶去度冬季假日。他们变成了一年度两次假期的家庭。冬季在加勒比海和远东度假成了身份的象征。妻子的净收入增加了家庭的总收入，使家庭更有能力去度更多、更好的假期。另一方面，家庭周期的作用也会带来副作用。
(2)随着中国经济更趋向市场化，国内的旅游业将在竞争更激烈的环境中遇到更大的挑战。因此，这就要求国内各旅游社不断研究它们的市场条件，根据游客的需求设计旅游产品，并将旅游产品有效地销往潜在市场。中国国内旅游业的成功取决于两个层次的协调和运作。国家和各级省政府需要宏观控制国内旅游格局的地区发展趋势，并制定指引国内旅游发展的政策。在地方旅游业层次，国内的各旅行社要执行系统的管理条例和业务年检。只有在政府和各个旅行社之间达到一种协调，中国的国内旅游业才能成功。
