Reading comprehension: (2 10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1) The art of growing dwarf trees, or “bonsai” as their Japanese creators call them, is increasing in popularity in the Untied States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them; elaborate equipment is not required to grow these lovely and tiny trees, but time, patience, and a sense of natural beauty are. There are four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing conditions are unusual. Varieties of pine with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable. Second, one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the trees trunk and leaves, not its root systema process quite unlike what is done with other plants. Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is trim the roots and branches of the tree periodically. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions and will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is to have trees which are just like normal trees in everything but size. The last thing one most do is to be careful to keep the miniature trees well-watered. Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do. As one can see from the above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. Imagine a stately pine tree, 100 years old, standing two feet high; imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is actually what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.16.Bonsai are _. A. extremely popular in the United States B. trees which have been made to grow in miniature form C. a kind of natural art form originating in the U.S. D. very beautiful but not very long-lasting17. Compared to other houseplants, bonsai often require _ than one might expect. A. less light B. more water C. a large container D. less care18.What does the ideal bonsai look like? A. It has abnormally large leaves. B. It has an unusually thick trunk. C. It has many more branches. D. It is not mentioned in the passage.19.What is the implied meaning of “a certain amount of time and effort” (last paragraph)? A. More time and effort than ordinary houseplants do. B. A definite and exact amount of time and effort. C. More time and effort than most people can expend. D. A constantly changing amount of time and effort.20. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage? A. Japanese Art Forms. B. BonsaiA Marriage of Art and Nature. C. The Problems of Growing Bonsai D. Four Ways to Grow Bonsai.(2) On November 17, 1997, He Guangwei, director e of the National Tourism Administration(NTA), signed an agreement in Washington with Jonathan Linen, vice-chairman of the American Express, designating the American Express Card as Chinas tourist credit card for 1998 to 2000. This is the second time the card has won this honor. “Since the American Express Card was designated for the first time in 1994, it has played an important role in Chinas tourism,” said Director He at the signing ceremony. Over recent years, the number of tourists using the American Express Card to handle business, tourism and activities related to work in China has increased. According to Bank of China statistics, the amount of business using American Express Cards occupies 45 percent of the accounts signed with foreign credit cards. In addition, the number of accounts signed with the card by overseas tourists stands at 15 percent of Chinas tourist income in foreign exchange. In order to develop Chinas tourism, the American Express and the NTA carried out a series of market promotion activities in North America, including distributing a million copies of the 24-page World of Wonders Hong Kong and China in North America. The American Express has enthusiastically supported Chinas tourism education and training. In 1992, in cooperation with the Beijing Tourism College, it established the tourism training center which has successfully trained more than 600 tourism administrative personnel. The new agreement marked the further strengthening of cooperation between the American Express and the NTA. It is also one of the important plans by both parties to boost the long-term development of Chinas tourism. “The American company has a wide tourism network in China and we are very honored to be able to make contributions to Chinas tourism,” said Linen. At present, the company has four offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen and 30 tourist service centers in 22 cities offering tour and credit card services, including reissuing lost cards, reporting missing travel checks, consultation, settling of card accounts, handling customers post and other services.21.

A lobby, elevator, or room that has not been maintained properly, that looks shabby, or that contains items requiring repair creates a bad impression on the guest. And of course, inadequate air conditioning, poor heating, or improper plumbing will result in immediate complaints. The guest pays a substantial amount of money for accommodations and expects the equipment to function at least as well as it does at home. Therefore, the chief engineer and staff have an important role to fulfill in satisfying the guests demands and thus helping to maintain the profit level for the hotel. At the same time, the engineering departments cost must be properly monitored and controlled.72. As Chinas economy shifts to a more market system, the domestic travel industry will face increasing challenges in a more highly competitive environment. This will require domestic travel services to constantly study their market conditions, design travel products according to the needs and wants of tourists, and sell their travel products effectively to potential markets. A successful domestic tourism industry in China relies on two levels of coordination and operation. National and provincial governments need to monitor regional trends in domestic travel patterns and develop measures for guiding domestic travel growth. At the individual business level, domestic travel services need to implement systematic management practices and operations. China c
