4 September. I will be 58 years old then. My friend thought I had lost my mind; my wife, though not fearful for my sanity (神智清明) , was somewhat apprehensive(担心). The question I was asked over and over was this: Why? A challenge and an element of adventure are welcome whether you are 20 or 58. But why did I decide to swim the Channel at 58? The Channel has always been the supreme challenge to swimmers; a test of ability, endurance, luck and every bravery. It is this challenge that appeals to 100 swimmers a year who are willing to spend time, effort and money to try it. One fact that contributes to my interest is that, if I succeed, I will be the oldest person ever to swim to Channel. I don’t think I’m a superman. I do think I have three things going for me: First, I am training hard. Second, I am a very goal-oriented person for whom this swim has long been a goal. Third, I have a feeling I will be psychologically ready. 26. Most likely, the author of this passage decided to swim the Channel because he ____. A) enjoys a challenge B) does not recognize the difficulties involved C) is basically a show-off D) has made a bet that he could do so 27. The author of this passage would almost readily agree with which of the following statements? A) People should limit their self-expectations. B) Old people lose their sense of adventure. C) Life’s challenges can be overcome at any age. D) People should recognize the dangers of physical stress. 28. According to the author, ______.

A) Determined B. cautious C. unrealistic D. disappointed Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. During the second half of the twentieth century leisure became more wildly available to many people for the first time. One significant use of this increased leisure time was international tourism

5 Tourism is now big business. It has become the world’s largest single industry, overtaking oil and vehicle production. Tourism is international. It involves virtually every country in the world. International travel involves huge number of people engaging in direct social exchanges. These people are from different places with different cultures and backgrounds. The mingling of cultures results in a heightened awareness of what humans have in common. International tourism is therefore a major agent of globalization. Increasingly travelers are a key factor in the creation of jobs and new capital spending. Nowhere is free from their impact, and no government can ignore them. But large crowds cause congestion and environmental pollution, an increased demand for car parks, souvenir shops, restaurants, etc. How to strike a balance between running profitable tourism and destroying the environment to do so is a big and urgent problem for every country. In order to attract tourists, governments all over the world have been keen to advertise and promote their region’s special features. A Caribbean island is shown to be an untouched tropical paradise, while Thailand is marketed as one amazing place full of temples, culture and beautiful people forever smiling. This governmental promotion of the unique culture involves the construction of artificial “representations”of what was once locally important. The “traditional dance”held on beaches on Pacific island resorts has nothing to do with authentic tribal activities. They are simply shows for tourists which are often performed by people not from the local culture. This is only a re-invention of tradition. International tourism also exposes the host society to the outside world. Local people cannot escape from tourists and begin to see themselves as dependent for their own identity on tourists. Tourism is an unstoppable force in the shrinking world of globalization. How to reconcile the demands of international visitors to see the “sights” with the preservation of what is important and real about the local society is a challenge for all governments in the 21 first century. 31. Which factor plays the most important role in the boom of international tourism? A) Improved standards of living. B) Increased leisure time. C) Increased demands for holidays. D) People are anxious to know different cultures of the host country. 32. Which industry has become the biggest one? A) Oil industry. B) Vehicle production. C) Tourism industry. D) Fashion industry. 33. Which one is not the change brought about by International tourism? A) Globalization. B) Creation of jobs. C) Threats to local culture and environment. D) The preservation of what is important and real about the local society. 34. Which definition is most suitable for the underlined word “artificial” and “authentic” in Paragraph 5? A) “real” and “false” .B) “man-made” and “real”. C) “true” and “man-made” D) “positive” and “man-made
