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.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the "Grand Tour" was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峽).They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice 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 water". They be?lieved 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. 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.
Travelling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway 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一and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry were born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. So far, the industry has become an important part of China's social development.
1.In the early times, the travellers ___________.
A. all came from Roman
B. were very young and strong
C. had lots of money
D. travelled by boat
2._______played the most important role in the tourism development.
A.Education B. Money

3.Modern tourism industry was born______ .
A. in 1949
B. in Roman times
C. in the early 17th century
D. in the 18th century

In light of what has happened in many countries* we can all see how dev?astating (破壞 性的) an earthquake can be. You may be asking yourself, " How do I get prepared for a quake if I don't know that it's coming?"There are some steps that you can take to make your home a little safer in the event that a quake occurs.

B
While both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, it's good to know there are some differences in culture. If you
are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.
One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解,認(rèn)為)time and space. For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old. However, perception of dis?tance seems to be the opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilome?tres a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.
Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States. American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自動變速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手動變速器). European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped. Trucks and limousines(豪華轎車)are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.
The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States. In America? parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are expected to attend college there.
6.The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to_________________ .
A. tell the differences between Europe and America
B. advise people to travel to Europe and America
C. introduce the topic of this passage to the readers
D. persuade people to live in a European country
7. Which of the following shows the Americans' perception of time?
A. An ancient house has a history of 200 years.
B. Europe has been at least 2,000 years old.
C A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.
D. It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.
8.The underlined phrase " parking and traffic congestion" in Paragraph 3 means "__________ ".
A. people like parking their cars on the road
B. the cars go through the parks now and then
C. it is easy to park and drive on the highway
D. parking is not easy and the traffic is heavy
9. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that
A. Americans are richer than Europeans
B. Americans work harder than Europeans
C. the children in Europe needn't go to school |
D. it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college
10. The author develops this passage by _________ .
