听力原文:Global tourism is a $3.5 trillion industry that represents 10 percent of world GD

听力原文: Global tourism is a $3.5 trillion industry that represents 10 percent of world GDP and employs more than 200 million people. Despite its global reach, tourism remains extremely fragmented; major hotel chains and tour operators represent only 20 percent of the business. Most companies—and countries—prefer to go it alone, even when it might be in their best interest to share data and marketing strategies. Now that's changing. In the past year, Spain and Tunisia organized a conference to support Mediterranean tourism. Australia, New Zealand and Fiji have also come together for a joint marketing campaign. Luxury hotel associations, like Relais & Chateaux and Leading Hotels of the World, are exchanging customer information with high-end cruise lines and tour operators such as Abercrombie & Kent in an effort to jump-start business.

Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?

A.A New Trend in Global Tourism Industry

B.Global Tourism Industry and Employment

C.Global Tourism Industry and Marketing Campaigns

D.Major Players in Global Tourism Industry

听力原文: The Mexican economy went of a cliff in the second three months of 2009, with the Gross Domestic Product dropping 10. 3% from the same period last year, according to government 'figures. Analysts say the main cause of Mexico's nosedive is that the nation's economy is tied strongly to that of the United States, which is mired in the deepest economic downturn since the 1930s. Other factors dragging the Mexican economy down include a tourism decline caused by the H1N1 flu outbreak, declining oil and tax revenues, and fewer Mexicans abroad sending money back home. (9) Oil revenues, long Mexico's main source of money, have been hurt by lower global prices and declining production. Remittances from Mexicans working abroad, most of them in the United States, also have fallen victim to the economic downturn. Fewer jobs in the United States mean fewer opportunities for Mexicans to find work and send money home. (10) Remittances rank after oil in terms of revenue for the country. That revenue fell from $ 26 billion in 2007 to $ 25 billion in 2008, Mexico's central bank said, and is expected to decrease even more this year. Tourism, Mexico's third largest source of revenue, has declined steadily, since an outbreak of the H1N1 flu was first discovered in Mexico in April.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the current decline in the Mexican economy?

A.Strong ties with the U. S. economy.

B.Fewer job opportunities in Mexico.

C.Decline in tourism.

D.Decline in tax revenues.

听力原文:Welcome to East Timor, one of the world's newest countries, and for the intrepid

听力原文: Welcome to East Timor, one of the world's newest countries, and for the intrepid few, an emerging tourism destination with unspoiled natural beauty.

Hundreds of fish species have been recorded in East Timor's waters, a diversity that's enhanced by having very deep water so close to shore. East Timor is a former war zone and lacks a lot of basic infrastructure. After East Timor's vote for independence in 1999, Indonesian militias rampaged through the island. The subsequent recovery effort has been painfully slow. There are many changes to be made if tourism run by expatriates is to boost East Timor's meager economy. The government is anxious that new tourism developments don't rain East Timor's greatest asset, its natural beauty.

So, as this new nation struggles to build its economy, it faces an age-old predicament, how to make the most of its natural assets without destroying them in the process.

What is East Timor famous for as an emerging tourism destination?

A.One of the newest countries in the world.

B.Unspoiled natural beauty.

C.Hundreds offish species.

D.A former war zone.

听力原文: Rich Americans are willing to spend large sums of money on space tourism, according to a poll released recently. Possibly bored by the ordinary daily life on earth or inspired by the exciting heroic deeds of such pioneers as first American in space Alan Shepard and first millionaire in space Dennis Tito, the poll says 7 percent of rich Americans would pay $ 20 million for a two-week orbital flight and 19 percent would pay $100,000 for a 15-rninute suborbital flight. The poll by Zogby International was commissioned by Futron Corp. , a Maryland aerospace consulting group which has a $1.8 million contract with NASA to explore the commercial applications of space travel, including what space tourism could look like in the next 20 years. Zoghy International conducted telephone interviews with 450 Americans whose yearly incomes were more than $ 250,000 or whose net worth was more than $1 million. Futron's NASA project program manager Derek Webber said, "We commissioned this survey in order to get an idea of what rich people think and not the man in the street who loves the idea of going into space but can't afford it."

(30)

A.Not all Americans can afford traveling in space.

B.Not all Americans think it a good idea to go into space.

C.Most Americans regard space tourism ridiculous.

D.Rich Americans are willing to pay a lot to fly into space.

听力原文:We all know what a significant number of obstacles the tourist industry had to fa

听力原文: We all know what a significant number of obstacles the tourist industry had to face between 2001 and 2003. From military conflicts to SARS, passing through terrorism and a sluggish economic situation, all negative factors came together to damage tourism results. The impact was significant and rather global. For the first time since 1982, 2003 shows a drop in international tourist arrivals (-1.5%).

However, the period 2004 - 2005 was not much calmer. From the devastating Tsunami to the more recent hurricanes distressing the coasts of the US and Mexico, without forgetting several terrorist attacks and the surge in oil prices. The good news though was that world economy resisted in spite all, and grew by 5% in 2004 and is set to increase by 4% in 2005. And the other good news is that notwithstanding all these threats, world tourism showed again its resilience with such events having only a limited impact in terms of geographical and temporal spread.

International tourist arrivals grew in 2004 to an exceptional total of 763 million, which represents an overall increase of over 10%. This result was much due to the unprecedented recovery of tourism in Asia with a growth of 28% over the trouble year of SARS. Likewise international tourism receipts grew by 9% after dropping 3% the previous year, whereas in Asia this growth was of almost 25%.

And growth continues in 2005. According to the latest data published by WTO in the October issue of the WTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourist arrivals grew by almost 6% up to July, which represents an increase of 25 million arrivals worldwide. Such growth trend was particularly strong in Asia, where after an extraordinary 28% growth in 2004, arrivals were up by 9%, again above the world average and above the long term forecast growth of around 6% a year. 2005 is estimated to end with a growth in tourist arrivals of 5% to 6%, while estimates for Asia indicate a projected 10% increase, much driven by China's exceptional performance, where tourist arrivals grew by an extraordinary 14% until October.

Which of the following is not mentioned as an obstacle of the world tourism industry?

A.SARS.

B.Terrorism.

C.Inflation.

D.Sluggish economy.
