18、al advice on writing BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants(当地居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike touris
19、ts and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also adv
20、ance 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 countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough to
21、urism, 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 5
22、0 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
23、support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.24Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is e
24、ssential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.25Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT_.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists customsC. over-crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic26Not enough tour
25、ism can lead to _A. an increase of unemploymentB. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in pay27It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will_.A. use up a large amount of water B. weaken their economyC. help establish
26、their traditions D. help improve their lifeCScientists have been studying how people use money for long. Now theyre finding some theories may apply to one group of monkeys. Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圆片) that could be used like c
27、ash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they d receive a piece of apple in return. If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the
28、 experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But thats not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk was determined a
29、t random. Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trad
30、e more with Allison. Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake. In the first experiment, the m
31、onkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, theyd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred
32、trading with Jake because theyd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose. We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that were getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?28. What conclusion might experts draw from the firs
33、t experiment?A. The monkeys show certain business sense. B. Business theories can apply to all monkeys. C. People are smarter in terms of finance. D. Its easy to teach monkeys how to trade. 29. What does a bonus in paragraph 5 refer to?A. A metal disk. B. An apple piece. C. A chance. D. A coin. 30.
34、Why did the monkeys choose to trade more with Jake in the second experiment?A. Because Jake always gave them two apple pieces. B. Because the apple pieces from Jake were yummy. C. Because they didnt like the feeling of losing. D. Because they get more apple pieces from Jake. 31. What could be the be
35、st title for the passage?A. Peoples Business Decision: Lose or Gain? B. Monekys Business Sense: Smart or Silly?C. Shopping for Bargain: Same or different? D.
