Unit 1 Asia
阅读理解专项训练
A
Tourism (旅游业) is one of the world’s largest industries. Many countries depend heavily on tourism as an important part of their economy (经济), while other countries such as some of the smaller Caribbean island nations—are almost completely dependent on tourism.
Despite its economic advantages, tourism has disadvantages, too. While countries spend millions attracting tourists, they are also under the pressure that tourism brings.
One of the biggest problems is environmental. The building of roads and hotels can quickly destroy those very beautiful places. Development on wetlands, for example, influences wildlife; forests disappear as they are cleared to s make way for buildings and to provide fuel (燃料) . In addition, the tourist industry also puts a huge pressure on water people need. In dry Mediterranean areas, tourists use almost twice as much water as local people when swimming in the pool.
Tourism is also responsible for producing plenty of waste. Cruise ships in the Caribbean produce a lot of rubbish-more than 70 000 tons each year. It even has an influence on places far away like the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain, which has more than 100 tons of rubbish sitting on it.
In spite of these problems, tourism can be good for communities and the environment. The park-entrance fees (费用) are paid for the protection of places of interest or the animals. What’s more, tourism brings people closer to nature, and can give them a better understanding of the environment and the result of destroying it. This leads to pressure on local governments to protect these beautiful areas, and can result in the protection of endangered plants and animals. Also, it can provide people with more opportunities to find jobs in the tourist industry.
Although tourism has many advantages, it clearly has a bad influence as well. The challenge for local and national governments is to manage tourism so that communities can benefit economically, and yet at the same time, make sure that the tourist areas are kept for all to enjoy.
( )1. Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the ______ of tourism.
A. disadvantages B. development C. importance D. survey
( )2. The writer shows the waste problem is serious by ______ .
A. telling stories B. listing facts C. asking questions D. making comparisons
( )3. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following are the advantages of tourism
①The money from tourism is used to protect the environment.
②Tourism can help people better understand the local culture.
③People can get more chances to find jobs related to tourism.
④Humans and nature are becoming closer with the help of tourism.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
( )4. The writer advises the government to ______ at the end of the passage.
A. attract more tourists B. care about the economy
C. develop the tourist industry D. manage tourism well
B
“Made in China” is having its moment now—and it’s a fashionable one.
The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sports shoe brands (品牌), suddenly got International attention. Their products were seen all over the world. Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning was at the New York Fashion Week in September, 2018. They showed their new designs-sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters.
Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group, said that the latest Chinese brands no longer catch customers’ eye by low price. He told CNN, “They are sure that they can go head to head with foreign brands.”
Maybe it is because China’s young people are now more confident about their own culture. They don’t show immediate interest in western culture any more.
“Today’s young people in China are crazy about Chinese cultural elements (元素),” Jin Qu, the manager of a clothing shopping website, said at a cultural festival in 2018. “They like these elements printed on their clothes, even the brand picture of Laoganma in China, which was once seen as outside of fashion. But now young people are proud of these Chinese symbols.”
In fact, many stars in the West are now interested in Chinese cultural elements in fashion. Rihanna, a US singer, for example, wore a Chinese red dress to the 2015 Met Gala in New York. The dress was designed and made by Chinese designer Guo Pei.
“We have to move from making to creating,” Chinese American designer Aric Chen once told The New York Times. “We want to replace the words ‘Made in China’ with ‘Designed in China’.”
( )1. The new designs of Li Ning Company in September, 2018 were ______ .
A. coats and scarves in Chinese red B. sweaters and jackets with English words
C. coats and scarves with American symbols D. Sweaters and jackets with Chinese characters
( )2. The underlined word “They”in Paragraph 5 refers to ______ .
A. today’s young people in China B. the workers in Jin Qu’s shop
C. some famous stars in the West D. directors of some Chinese companies
( )3. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Chinese Clothes Brands B. Sports in China C. Chinese Cultural Festival D. Designed in China
( )4. The passage above may be taken from a(n) ______ .
A. newspaper B. guidebook C. novel D. ad
C
Have you ever been to Singapore For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country, so it’s also a good place to practise your English!
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however, you’ll find a lot of food from China; you won’t have any g problems finding rice, noodles or dumplings. However, if you have great courage, Singapore is an excellent place to try new food, such Laksa, a popular spicy (麻辣的) noodle soup. Whether you like Indian food, Western food, or Japanese food, you’ll find them in Singapore!
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night When you are in Singapore, don’t miss going to the Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark. But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special. A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time, to watch them. If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be asleep! At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator (赤道) . So you can choose to go whenever you like-spring, summer, autumn, or winter! And, of course, it’s not too far from China!

Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper-cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. "It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular," Wo said.

But now there is a new 2.5 kilometre-long car-free area inside the city. The Louvre(卢浮宫) attracts world tourists.
