Comprehension:(2×15=30)
Directions: Read the three following passages and then
choose the best answer to each question.
(1)
On November 17,1997,He Guangwei, director e of the National
Tourism Administration(NTA), signed an agreement in
Washington
with Jonathan Linen, vice-chairman of the American Express, designating the
American Express Card as China's tourist credit card for 1998 to 2000. This
is the second time the card has won this honor.
“Since
the American Express Card was designated for the first time in 1994, it has
played an important role in China's tourism,”
said Director He at the signing ceremony.
Over recent years, the number of tourists using the
American Express Card to handle business, tourism and activities related to
work in China has increased. According to Bank of China statistics, the
amount of business using American Express Cards occupies 45 percent of the
accounts signed with foreign credit cards. In addition,the number of accounts
signed with the card by overseas tourists stands at 15 percent of China's
tourist income in foreign exchange.
In order to develop China's tourism, the American
Express and the NTA carried out a series of market promotion activities in
North America, including distributing a million copies of the 24-page World
of Wonders ——
Hong Kong and China in North America. The American Express has
enthusiastically supported China's tourism education and training. In 1992,
in cooperation with the Beijing Tourism College, it established the tourism
training center which has successfully trained more than 600 tourism
administrative personnel.
The new agreement marked the further strengthening of
cooperation between the American Express and the NTA. It is also one of the
important plans by both parties to boost the long-term development of China's
tourism. “The
American company has a wide tourism network in China and we are very honored
to be able to make contributions to China's tourism,”
said Linen.
At present, the company has four offices in Beijing,
Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen and 30 tourist service centers in 22 cities
offering tour and credit card services, including reissuing lost cards,
reporting missing travel checks, consultation, settling of card accounts,
handling customers' post and other services.

In recent years, we have seen great progress in houses
building. The type of houses found in a certain part of the world depends to
a certain extent on the building materials available there. Countries where
stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place where there is
plenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses
built to a greater extent.
In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two
main factors are responsible for the type of houses built: the heat of the
sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses are light and airy but have
steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because they may be
in lowlying areas which get flooded easily.
In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are
often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White
surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no
windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very
small and narrow. It is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so
that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool
breeze that is blowing. Sometimes,a water tank may be placed on the roof to
catch the little rain that falls.
In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs,of
the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs
were flat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the
weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.
Some countries are more likely to be affected by
earthquakes. In such places, the houses are made of light building materials.
If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurt and less
damage is caused.
In some parts of the world, people take their homes along
with them as they travel. These people are called nomads. The Bedouins of
Arab lands wander over the desert, setting up tents wherever they stop to
rest.

shelter from the harsh elements

tanks on the roof

B.so that the roofs won't become so heavy
C.because people do not need snow to build the house

The art of growing dwarf trees, or
“bonsai”
as their Japanese creators call them, is increasing in popularity in the
Untied States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who
enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them; elaborate equipment
is not required to grow these lovely and tiny trees, but time, patience, and
a sense of natural beauty are.
There are four important guidelines to follow in growing
bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all
species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing conditions are
unusual. Varieties of pine with small needles and hardwood trunks are
especially suitable.
Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the
container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth
of bonsai is kept confined to the tree's trunk and leaves, not its root
system——a
process quite unlike what is done with other plants.
Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is trim the roots
and branches of the tree periodically. Unless this is done, the plants will
not have the proper proportions and will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal
for bonsai is to have trees which are just like normal trees in everything
but size.
The last thing one most do is to be careful to keep the
miniature trees well-watered. Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual
containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.
As one can see from the above, the art of bonsai-growing
is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions
that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. Imagine a stately pine
tree, 100 years old, standing two feet high; imagine having such a tree in
your living room and passing it down through several generations of your
family. That is actually what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a
tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the
beauties of the natural world.
31.Bonsai are _____.
A.extremely popular in the United States
B.trees which have been made to grow in miniature form
C.a kind of natural art form originating in the
U.S.
D.very beautiful but not very long-lasting
32.Compared to other houseplants, bonsai often require _____
than one might expect.
A.less light B.moer water C.a large container
D.less care
33.What does the ideal bonsai look like?
A.It has abnormally large leaves. B.It has an
unusually thick trunk.
C.It has many more branches. D.It is not
mentioned in the passage.
34.What is the implied meaning of
“a
certain amount of time and effort”
(last paragraph)?
A.More time and effort than ordinary houseplants do.
B.A definite and exact amount of time and effort.
C.More time and effort than most people can expend.
D.A constantly changing amount of time and effort.
35.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title
for this passage?
A.Japanese Art Forms. B.Bonsai——A
Marriage of Art and Nature.
C.The Problems of Growing Bonsai D.Four Ways to Grow
Bonsai.

86
Proper maintenance and provision of hotel services have a
significant effect on the attitude of a guest toward the hotel. A lobby,
elevator, or room that has not been maintained properly, that looks shabby,
or that contains items requiring reqair creates a bad impression on the
guest. And of course, inadequate air conditioning, poor heating, or improper
plumbing will result in immediate complaints. The guest pays a substantial
amount of money for accommodations and expects the equipment to function at
least as well as it does at home. Therefore, the chief engineer and staff
have an important role to fulfill in satisfying the guests' demands and thus
helping to maintain the profit level for the hotel. At the same time, the
engineering department's cost must be properly monitored and controlled.
87
Often the large hotel corporation that builds the hotel
does not actually operate, or run it. Some hotels are operated as special
right, which means that the building corporation sells or rents to someone
else the right to operate the hotel. The operator runs the hotel according to
certain standards set by the corporation and pays a percentage of the income
to the corporation. Other large hotels are run on management contracts. The
builder agrees to let another company manage and operate the hotel. The
builder and manager get a share of the money earned by the hotel. This is
often how large hotels that are built by governments are run. Many other
types of accommodations besides hotels are available to tourists. They are
guest houses or tourist homes, which provide a “continental
breakfast”
of coffee and rolls as well as sleeping accommodations.
