Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension:(2×10=20)
Directions: Read the following two passages and then choose the best answer to each question.
(1)
The Chinese use chopsticks as easily and as naturally as Europeans use forks. They are like an extension of a man's fingers, practical adaptations that evolved from the days when man indeed ate with his fingers.
There are different styles of chopsticks. The Chinese variety is blunt on the “eating end,” while the Japanese prefer those with pointed tips. There are even short lengths for children to use. Chopsticks are made of many materials—ivory, plastic, silver, and even jade—but the most common ones are of wood or bamboo. For everyday use, wood, bamboo, or ivory is best. Plastic chopsticks are not satisfactory, since they tend to warp after repeated immersion in hot washing water.
All Chinese food is prepared so that it may be easily handled with chopsticks. In fact, many older-generation Chinese households have no forks at all. Fingers really have to work in order to use these implements adeptly, however, and our fingers have become lazy from eating with forks. Practice is the key to success with these centuries-old tools.
Chopsticks are used for cooking as well as eating. They are good for serving noodles, retrieving deep-fried foods, beating eggs, and stir-frying. One can even buy extra-long “cooking chopsticks”,which makes these kitchen tasks even easier.

The rental car industry is an important aspect of automobile travel, whose growth has been paralleling or exceeding the growth in air travel. It provides convenience in a transfer between airport and hotel, or in travelling around a city. In the United States, for example, a business travelers flies from Houston to Miami for a four-day sales trip, and rents a car to make numerous sales calls at companies in the area; a family flies from New York to Los Angels for a two-week vacation, and rents a car and drives up the coast to San Francisco, stopping to admire the scenery and visit the tourist attractions along the way.
Large car rental firms have both in-town and suburban locations, but most business is still conducted at airports. The car rental agency has a desk in the baggage claim area of a large airport. When people know they are coming to a city and will need to rent a car, they usually reserve one over the telephone. The car rental agent also receives many calls from travel agents who want to reserve cars for their clients. When customers arrive at the airport and pick up their baggage, they simply walk over to the counter to get the car they have reserved.
The car rental industry is different from other transportation industries in that it gives travelers complete control over their schedules and itineraries. Travelers should be aware that there are certain qualifications they must meet before renting a car. To qualify to rent a car in the United States, clients usually must: have a valid driver's license; be of at least 25 years old; have a major credit card or put down a cash deposit equal to the expected rental amount plus a specified percentage; and be personally responsible.
Rates vary according to the size of the car and do not include gasoline, tax, or charges for extra services. Most American car rental companies charge fees not included in their regular rates for any extra services that they provide such as Drop-off, Gas, Insurance and Lost key.

This is the  41   that perhaps most clearly demonstrates the old hotelier's famous saying:“  42   is our most important  product.”A meal of good  43   ,well cooked and beautifully  44   ,can be easily spoiled by a  45   or sloppy waiter or waitress. Proper attention to the 46  setup—silverware, china, glasses, and so  47  —plus proper attention to  48   needs for such items as bread, water, and liquor, are just as  49   as the food itself. How often we hear the 50   :“We wanted another  51   of drinks, but we could never get the waiter's  52   .” The attention given to the guests while they are   53   can be as important as the   54    taking of the initial order.

Ⅵ.Translate the following passages into Chinese (10×2=20)
(1)  Tourists seeking rest and relaxation generally will require accommodation of as good a quality and efficiency that can be expected for the price they can afford. The mode and standard of transport will also be dictated by these considerations. The resort or destination chosen will depend on the form of relaxation required. For those who want to spend most of the lying on a warm, sunny beach(the ‘sun-sea-sand set’),an appropriate coastal resort will be chosen. For those wishing to make several day trips to other towns, cities or events, the choice and quality of the excursions will help to determine the choice of resort.
(2) Internally, infrastructure construction and management also moved ahead. Additional tourist facilities became operational after completion or renovation. The Travel Service Quality Control Deposit System was implemented to exert more extensive control over the operation of tourist hotels and travel services. Based on local resources and market demand, many local tourism administrative bodies began to upgrade the economic status of tourism, enhance legal construction,  improve physical facilities, increase financial input, strengthen management of scenic areas, ensure visitor safety at attractions, and protect the legitimate rights of tourists. All actions continue to contribute to the development of local tourism in China.
