    　　Tourism probably started in Roman times．Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire．But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped．

    　I　n the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born．Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峡)．They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy．Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city．The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education－but only for the rich．

    　　In the 18th century, tourism began to change．For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health．So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns．

    　　In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster．When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea．And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier．

    　　Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built．People began to travel more to far away countries．

    　　The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people．Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them．

    　　Thus tourism grew．In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays．The company organizes everything－plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food－and tourists pay for it all before they leave home．The package tour and modern tourist industry was born．

    　　The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949．But tourism did not take off until 1978．In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development．

    Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales

    　 Fish have ears. Really. They’re quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths (耳石).

    　 As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙). By looking through a microscope and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree.

    　 Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They’re examining the chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring.

    　 The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.

    　 Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.

    　 In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.

    　 This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.

    What can we learn about fish ears from the text?

    　A. They are small soft rings.

    　B. They are not seen from the outside.

    　C. They are openings only on food fish.

    　D. They are not used to receive sound.

    Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?

    　A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.

    　B. Trees also have otoliths.

    　C. Their growth rings are very small.

    　D. They both have growth rings.

    Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?

    　A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.

    　B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.

    　C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.

    　D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.

    How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?

    　A. They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings.

    　B. They want to know where they can find fish.

    　C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.

    　D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

    In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.

    　　 According to a weather expert' s prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere (北半球), possibly resulting in an alteration of the earth's chief food growing zones.

    　　  In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.

    　　  Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.

    　　  However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude , therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have gone beyond those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

    　　  One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates (使旋转), every 27. 5 days, it presents hotter or "colder" faces to the earth, and different aspects to different parts of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also changeable over a long term: its heat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward.

    　　  Scientists are now finding shared relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years, including the last Ice Age. The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not. One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia (惯性) of the earth's climate. If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful opposed balance to the sun's fading heat .

    66. It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would_________.

       A. mean a warming-up in the Antarctic

       B. raise the temperature of the earth' s surface

    C. prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surface

    D. explain the cause of  great changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere

    67.The article was written to explain ___________. 

    A. the greenhouse effect

    B. the solar effects on the earth

    C. the causes affecting weather

    D. the models of solar-weather interactions

    68. Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there　seem to be falling. This is__________.

     A. mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising

     B. partly due to changes in the output of solar energy

    C. possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting

    D. only due to the effect of the inertia of the earth' s climate

    69. On the basis of their models, scientists believe the opinion that__________.

    A. the climate of the world should be becoming cooler

    B. the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect

    C. the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects

    D. it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect

    70. If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice age is correct, ____________.

    A. ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere

    B. the greenhouse effect could work in favor of the earth

    C. the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuels

    D. the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly

    A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.

    　　In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!

    　　A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!

    1.What does the underlined phrase “on the rush” mean in the passage?

    A．on the beach       B．on the spot        C．in a hurry         D．in no time

    2.Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _____.

    A．can see more film stars

    B．can see the films before most people see them in the cinema

    C．can pay less than other people

    D．can write anything they like

    3.A reporter’s work becomes dangerous when _____.

    A．there is an interview with the prime minister  B．there is a football match

    C．he is seeing a horror film                  D．there is a flood or a riot

    4.From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following except _____.

    A．brave            B．quick in mind       C．strong            D．well-informed
