People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or other historic remains. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People in cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the year it rains. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts (度假胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason. Sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked without a break every summer. And 13 million people visited French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit there yearly, or one tourist for each person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism that it can deal with. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. None of this, however, is ruining anyone's fun. Obviously, visitors don't go there for clean water. They allow traffic jams and endure crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is , the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in cold Berlin, London, or anywhere else.
【小题1】 The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____.

A．they want to see historic remains

B．they wish to escape from cold, dark and rainy days

C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous places

D．they are interested in different cultural and social customs

【小题2】 According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?

A．Italy.

B．Greece.

C．France.

D．Spain.

【小题3】The underlined part in Passage 3, "one tourist for each person living in Spain" means _____.

A．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists

B．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist

C．every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country

D．every family in Spain is visited by a tourist every year

【小题4】 What does the underlined phrase "without a break" mean?

A．不休息

B．不绝交

C．不间断

D．不打碎

【小题5】 According to the passage, which of the following might ruin the tourists' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?

A．Polluted water

B．Crowded buses

C．Rainy weather

D．Traffic jams

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACABCUES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”

1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about __________.

A. learning English

B. finding places to stay in England

C. driving their car on English roads

D. going to England by car

2. I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because__________.

A. they would be able to practise their English

B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.“NO VACANCIES” in English means__________.

A. no free rooms B. free rooms

C. not away on holiday D. holidays

4.If you see a road sign that says “Diversion” in UK, you will__________.

A. fall into a hole

B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D. have to take a different road

5.When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I__________.

A. didn’t really want any more coffee

B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away

C. really wanted some more coffee

D. wanted to express my politeness
