    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

    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) 人們手中的可以隨意支配的凈收入增加了,尤其是年青人手中;教育水平的提高增加了人們對(duì)外國(guó)及其文化的興趣,所以,旅游的需求也提高了。家庭戶主的職業(yè)、 工作的升遷,更多的妻子參加工作等也提高了旅游的需求。例如,一個(gè)做了公司總經(jīng)理的人會(huì)設(shè)法帶上全家,或者至少是配偶去度冬季假日。他們變成了一年度兩次 假期的家庭。冬季在加勒比海和遠(yuǎn)東度假成了身份的象征。妻子的凈收入增加了家庭的總收入,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 也會(huì)帶來(lái)副作用。
    (2)隨著中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)更趨向市場(chǎng)化,國(guó)內(nèi)的旅游業(yè)將在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)更激烈的環(huán)境中遇到更大的挑戰(zhàn)。因此,這就要求國(guó)內(nèi)各旅游社不斷研究它們 的市場(chǎng)條件,根據(jù)游客的需求設(shè)計(jì)旅游產(chǎn)品,并將旅游產(chǎn)品有效地銷往潛在市場(chǎng)。中國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)旅游業(yè)的成功取決于兩個(gè)層次的協(xié)調(diào)和運(yùn)作。國(guó)家和各級(jí)省政府需要宏觀 控制國(guó)內(nèi)旅游格局的地區(qū)發(fā)展趨勢(shì),并制定指引國(guó)內(nèi)旅游發(fā)展的政策。在地方旅游業(yè)層次,國(guó)內(nèi)的各旅行社要執(zhí)行系統(tǒng)的管理?xiàng)l例和業(yè)務(wù)年檢。只有在政府和各個(gè)旅 行社之間達(dá)到一種協(xié)調(diào),中國(guó)的國(guó)內(nèi)旅游業(yè)才能成功。
