12、. Each passage is followed ny five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices, marked A, B, C and D. You are to make ONE choice that can best either answer the question or complete the statement.ATheir culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that their l

13、anguage is universal but that the gestures they use are understood by everyone. They do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those priv

14、ate citizens who sent packages to their troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “Gift” means poison in German. Moreover, they like to think of themselves as friendly, yet they prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms len

15、gth away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Their linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which they take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing their f

16、riends, business and respect in the world.Even in the United States, they make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information in four languages on their public buildings or monuments; they do not have multilingual guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations,

17、 and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Their transportation systems have maps in English only and often they themselves have difficulty understanding them.When they go abroad, they tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and informatio

18、n they pick up are conditioned by those natives that speak English. Their business dealings, as well as the nations diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most power

19、ful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.But that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and they are slowly beginning to realize that their proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55% of Americans want their country to

20、 play a more significant role in the world affair; they want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.36. It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably .a. stand still b. j

21、ump aside c. step forward d. draw back37.

In countries other than their own most Americans .a. are isolated

22、 by the local peopleb. are not well informed due to the language barrierc. tend to get along well with the nativesd. need interpreters in hotels and restaurants39.

23、ves off from the outside worldc. limit their role in world affairsd. weaken the position of the US dollar40.

24、ldc. it is necessary to use several languages in public placesd. it is time to get acquainted with other culturesBOccasionally accounts of shark attacks off Australias beaches appear in the press and send shivers down readers and swimmers backs. Even before the onset of summer, schools of fish and w

25、armer waters bring the real-life jaws predators back to the southern climate.Australia takes the shark menace seriously, as it must be. Records show that since 1900 there been about 100 fatal shark attacks, nearly all of them on the eastern side where most people dwell. The number of fatalities for

26、this year is three, suggesting that this may be one of the worst seasons for many years of attacks. There are few details of the number of people who come face to face with a shark and live. But every summer local newspaper carry hair-raising accounts of bathers, surfers and fishermen multipliable a

27、nd give daily advice on how to avoid shark attacks.In a bid to deter the man-eaters and to reassure holidaymakers, local authorities have strung nylon mesh netting along large sections of popular beaches. These traps are set about half a mile off shore, running parallel to the land in water up to 17

28、 feet deep. They are not anchored; the force of a huge tiger shark would tear a hole in rigid netting. In 15 years the nets have caught nearly 20,000 sharks. If any manages to pass these primary defenses, there are rows of buoys with baits of meat- the raw flesh hiding a nine-inch hook- ready to put

29、 the sharks to an end. The nets are lifted and cleaned every day during swimming season. Any sharks still alive in the mesh are shot before being removed. Though trapped, they would still be too dangerous to handle.But the nets offer protection for only small, crowded beaches. In some of the more re

30、mote coastal areas, beaches are too big and too under-utilized and it would not be economical to spend money on netting. Nobody claims that the nets are totally shark-proof. Critics complain that other innocent forms of sea life are also being caught, including dolphins and small whales and some mar

31、ine biologists support their abolition because of the damage they are doing to sea life.41. When do sharks return to Australian beaches?a. Only in summer b. Even before summerc. When the nets are lifted and cleanedd. When they see a large crowd of swimmers there42. There is little, if any, informati

32、on on what happened when a shark attacked people because a. victims seldom come face to face with sharks attacking themb. in most cases victims could hardly remember their experience clearlyc. little research has been done in this fieldd. victims seldom survived the attacks to describe them afterwar

33、ds43. What is said about nylon mesh netting in the passage?a. It can be used extensively at all beachesb. It is avoided by sharks.c. It is powerless against huge tiger sharks.d. It does not necessarily stop sharks from going past44. The major reason why nylon mesh metting is not used at big or remot

35、iggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination to be reckoned with, is that it is at the end of the earth. It is also far south to be a convenient stop on the way to anywhere else and is much farther than a relatively cheap half-days flight away from the big tourist marke

36、ts, unlike Mexico, for example.Chile, therefore, is having to fight hard to attract tourists, to convince travelers that it is worth coming halfway round the world to visit. But is it succeeding, not only in existing markets like the USA and Western Europe but in new territories, in particular the F

37、ar East. Markets closer to home, however, are not being forgotten. More than 50% of visitors of Chile still come from its nearest neighbor, Argentina, where the cost of living is much higher.Like all South American countries, Chile sees tourism as a valuable earner of foreign currency. Although it h

38、as been far more serious than most in promoting its image abroad. Relative stable politically within the region, it has benefited from the problems suffered in other areas. In Peru, guerrilla warfare in recent years has dealt a heavy blow to the tourist industry and fear of street crime in Brazil ha

39、s reduced the attraction of Rio de Janeiro as a dream destination for foreigners.Chiles greatest strength as a tourist destination is it geographical diversity. From the parched Atancma Desert in the north to the Antarctic snowfields of the south, it is more than 5,000km long. With the Pacific on on

40、e side and the Andean mountains on the other, Chile boasts natural attractions. Its beaches are not up to Caribbean standards but resorts such as Vina del Mar are generally clean and unspoilt and have a high standard of services.But the trump card is the Andes mountain range. There are a number of e

41、xcellent ski resorts within one hours drive of the capital, Santiago, and the national parks in the south are home to rare animal and plant species. The parks already attract specialist visitors, including mountaineers, who come to climb the technically difficult peaks, and the fishermen, lured by t

42、he salmon and trout in the regions rivers.Air links between Chile and the rest of the world are, at present, relatively poor. While Chiles two largest airlines have extensive networks within South America, they operate only a small number of routes to the United States and Europe, while services to

43、Asia are almost non-existent.Internal transport links are being improved and luxury hotels are being built in one of its national parks. Nor is development being restricted to the Andes. Easter Island and Chiles Antarctic Territory are also on the list of areas where Government believes it can creat

44、e tourists markets.But the rush to open hitherto inaccessible areas to mass tourism is not being welcomed by everyone. Indigenous and environmental groups, including Greenpeace, say that many parts of the Andes will suffer if they become over-developed. There is a genuine fear that areas of Chile wi

45、ll suffer the cultural destruction witnessed in Mexico and European resorts.The policy of opening up Antarctica to tourism is also politically sensitive. Chile already has permanent settlements on the ice and many people see the decision to allow tourists there as a political move, enhancing Santiag

46、os territorial claim over part of Antarctica.46. Chile is disadvantaged in the promotion of its tourism by .a. geographical location b. guerrilla warfarec. political instability d. street crime47. Many of Chiles tourists used to come from EXCEPT .a. U.S.A b. the Far East c. western Europe d. her nei

According to the passage, in WHICH area improvement is already under way?a. Facilities in the ski resort b. Domestic transport
