Everyone has an ambition(志向) to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency (旅行社)，arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this，working in a small travel agency in the industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday，both at home and abroad. Every autumn，the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive，colored photographs，describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon，people begin to come into the office to book their holidays：perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January，perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February，perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May，or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them，and they always have a lot of questions. Last year，for example，a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山)，and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end，she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated，but Brian enjoys this work. For example，last spring Mr. Perry，a director of a chemical firm，went on a business trip，and Brian arranged it all for him. First，Mr. Perry traveled to London by train，and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport，because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany，where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich (苏黎世)，where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning，he caught a plane for Tokyo，and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle (西雅图)，Chicago and New York，and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York，he flew back to London，and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.
1.Who would like to work in a travel agency?
A.People who live in an industrial city.
B.People who would like to travel but cannot.
C.Ambitious people.
D.People who go on holidays abroad.
2.When do the customers come into the office to book their holidays?
A.Early in the morning.
B.Every year.
C.In January.
D.Shortly after receiving the booklet.
3.Those who cannot travel themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency .
A.arranging trips for other people
B.arranging trips for themselves
C.booking trips for other people
D.describing the holidays for other people
4.Mr. Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brian because .
A.Mr. Perry arranged everything so well for Brian
B.Brian arranged everything so well for Mr. Perry
C.the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D.Brain helped him in the travel agency
5.How was Mr. Perry’s journey arranged?
a. To fly to Tokyo. b. To Frankfurt by plane.
c. Back home by train. d. Fly back to London.
e. To Zurich by train. f. Have business in Seattle，Chicago and New York.

阅读下列材料, 并从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
The people below traveled abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.
【小题1】_______ David got lost in an isolated place. To make matter worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of timely help.
【小题2】______ Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs(海关).
【小题3】_____ Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying drugs without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!
【小题4】_____ Sally offended some of the people in the town she was visiting by wearing inappropriate clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.
【小题5】______ Jack didn’t obtain a transit card when he changed planes at an airport, which made him very worried. There was no doubt that he was not allowed to get on board.
A My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite 
dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer inspected all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.
B It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.
C During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.
D When I got off the plane at the first airport, I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.
E I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.
F When I arrived at my destination, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.

After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled, Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’?”
Impressed—she was a National Merit(全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil—Yaledid, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for The Yale Daily News “and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Ms. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it. ”
Ms. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism, her mother said.
