The twin towns of LAUFEN/OBERNDORF
Laufen owes its former economical and cultural significance to the river Salzach, which forms a peninsula with its sharp curves（弯） there.
Laufen’s economic boom began with the salt trade and the shipping on the river. The salt—mainly coming from Hallein and Bad Reichenhall—was loaded onto bigger ships downstream, which made Laufen one of the most important ports of shipment for salt in Salzburg and Bavaria.
The archbishop（大教主） of Salzburg had given special privileges to the people who were involved in the shipping of salt on the river Salzach.
The Napoleonic Wars brought occupation and serious disturbances. They brought the sudden end to the independent state of the Duke—Archbishop of Salzburg. The end of the 18th century brought a decrease in shipping because of the general economic situation. On the 1st May 1816 Salzburg definitively became a part of Austria （Munich agreement） that’s why the Salzach became the border between Bavaria and Austria.Laufen’s suburbs Oberndorf and Altach were divided up. The number of inhabitants fell from 1392 to 809.Even the re－unification of the two towns’shipsmen’s guilds（行会） and the reorganization of 1928 could not prevent the decline of shipping which finally came to an end in the late 19th century.
1. ________ played an important role in Laufen’s economy and culture life.
A. Salt B. Shipment C. Guilds D. Theriver Salzach
2. The underlined word“boom”probably means________.
A. pleasant sounds B. sudden increase C. sudden decrease D. trade
3. The main idea of this passage is mainly about ________.
A. how the economy declined in Laufen
B. the effects of The Napoleonic Wars
C. how the twin towns of LAUFEN and OBERNDORF came into being
D. the history of Salzburg
B
　　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.
4. In the early times, the travelers ________.
A. all came from Roman
B. were very young and strong
C. had lots of money
D. traveled by boat
5.________ played the most important role in the tourism development.
A. Education B. Money C. Transportation D. People’s ideas
6. Modern tourism was born ________.
A. in 1949 B. in Roman times
C. in the early 17th century D. in the 19th century
7. The underlined phrase “take off” means ________.
A. a plane rising into the air
B. develop very fast
C. remove hats and clothes
D. bring down the prices
