I. Read the following two passages and choose correct answers. (每小题4分，共40分)
The Concorde，plane of the rich and famous，is also probably the world’s safest．The fireball outside Paris Tuesday was the supersonic jet’s first fatal accident ever in 24 years of regular operation．And Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007．
Yet the plane had been having mishaps—little things．In October a piece of tail fell off in mid-flight．Last January, within a span of 24 hours，two British Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasons—one engine failure，one mysterious false alarm．A few months ago，small cracks，said to be“microscopic”in size，were detected in all seven British Concordes，a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday；one of them was grounded because the cracks had gotten wider．
Has the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule? Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built，of which 13 are still in service，operated by British Airways and Air France．They were all built between 1975 and 1980．Both companies hope to keep the planes flying for another 14 or 15 years，and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of“cycles”—roughly one transatlantic flight—the plane could stand，to 8,500．By this calculation，the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least．This view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes，the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular．
After the crash，Air France asserted，perhaps prematurely, that the crash was due not to any wing problem，like sneaking cracks，but to an exploding engine．That makes it the fastest investigation on record．They have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance check，which on these delicate birds，with their 30-year-old technology, will be expensive．
British Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige，shuttling the swells on their surprisingly cramped，1,336-mph passage at $10,000 a head．Take a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club．But part of its charm—to the small number of people who flew it—was that it was superior to the other planes,safer．For the price of a ticket，you were buying a guarantee．
If British and French industry officials，who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove，decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesday’s catastrophe，then it’s not hard to imagine that they will seriously consider retiring this distinctive，one-of-a-kind aircraft．
1．The reason why the Concorde crashed is that___________．
A．one engine failed B．its engine exploded
C．a piece of tail fell off D．the cracks had gotten wider
2．Concordes are expected to fly ___________8,500 times in the coming 14 or 15 years．

4．The word“one-of-a-kind”in the last paragraph probably means“ ___________”．
A．unique B．complicated C．delicate D．modern
5．It can be seen that the writer’s attitude to the future of Concordes is ___________ ．
A．biased B．objective C．optimistic D．pessimistic
The 1,000-Island Lake, which was formed by damming the Xinan River Reservoir, and the Xinan and Fuchun rivers in west Zhejiang Province have become known as the Golden Tourist Belt. Beautiful scenery, historical sites, and participation in traditional life are all part of the package. Strange caves, 1,000 islands and islets, and colorful sites are scattered like stars in the sky.
Traveling eastward along the route from the Huangshan Mountain will bring tourists to Hangzhou. From there, a five-hour coach and boat trip takes travelers to Pailing Town, Chunan County in the center of the 1,000-Island Lake.
On the Huolo (Furnace) Peak of Pailing Ridge, the highest of the ridges, is an ideal spot for an aerial view of the mountain and the lake where tourists can row boats to all the islands. From the Pailing Ridge, tourists can go to Jiande by coach along the river bank and through the Jian River tunnel. This is known as the “cool world” for the pleasantly cool temperature of the rivers, lakes and mountain caves. “Xinan mist illusion” is a peculiar sight rarely seen in China. The water of the Xinan River maintains 14-18 degrees C in temperature all year round. Each winter and summer, because of the great temperature difference between air and water, mist forms on the 20-km river surface on the lower reaches of the hydropower station. Blown by wind, the mist transforms itself into endless sights.
From Jiande, tourists can go by boat to the ancient town of Meicheng. Meicheng, with a history of more than 1,700 years, is where the Twin Pagodas shrouded in clouds and other famous sights are located.
Boating eastward with the current from Meicheng, tourists will eventually arrive at the Fuchun River basin area. Here they can appreciate various sights along the Qililong section of the river where the water surface narrows and steep cliffs flank both banks. The winding river course, dangerous shoals and deep pools are known as the “Lesser Three Gorges.”
Tianmu Stream is one of the Fuchun River system. The water is so clear, the bottom of the stream is visible. Tourists can drift on rubber rafts the 5-kim distance from Yaolin Bridge to Yuanchuan Wharf.
Xinshan is an islet in the Fuchun River. This is where the Happy Farmer Household folklore tour is held. By way of bamboo rafts and ox carts, tourists can visit and take part in such traditional activities as operating traditional farm tools and making flour with a stone grinder.
They can also create hand-made paper, make straw sandals, reel silk, and watch goat fights.
6．The Golden Tourist Belt includes the following except .
A．Xinan RiverB．Fuchun RiverC．the 1000-Island Lake D．Mt. Huangshan
7．The Furnace Peak is an ideal place for .
A．rowing pleasure boats B．overlooking the mountains
C．traveling along the ridges D．riding on coaches and buses
8．“Xinan mist illusion”，a unusual sight，is formed as a result of ．
A．the changes of heights between high and low ridges
B．the changes of the daily weather patterns in summer

II.Translate the following passage into Chinese. （在下列3题中选作2题，每题15分，共30分）
For instance, the front office manager is responsible for the functions of the front office and the management of all employees, including the front-desk clerks, the bell captain f the telephone operators, and the people who make entries in the guest ledgers. The sales manager is in charge of advertising and getting business for the hotel from travel agents, the tour operators and packagers, organizations or companies planning conventions, and from people who might use the meeting and banquet rooms. Housekeeping is the heart of the hospitality industry, though it does not generate sales directly, as do the food and beverage ( F&B) department and the sales department.
Disney World has still more vacation options such as the Disney Institute and the new Disney Cruise Line. The Disney Institute offers many great hands-on classes designed fur fun and education. It is located in the Disney World resort so you are still close to all the other attractions as well. The Disney cruise line combines a Disney World resort vacation with a Caribbean cruise. You stay at the resort in Florida for several days, then board a Disney cruise ship and sail to Disney’s own private-island resort in the Bahamas.
The unique customs and habits of the minorities have developed in the process of their long history and influenced by their peculiar environment，social and economic conditions. Generally, people in south China like rice, people in the north prefer cooked wheaten food; the Uygur, Kazak and Ozbek ethnic people like roast mutton kebab and crusty pancake; Mongolians like millet stir-fried in butter, fried sheep tail and tea with milk； Koreans like sticky rice cakes，cold noodles and kimchi ( pickled vegetables) ; Tibetans eat zanba ( roasted qingke barley flour) and buttered tea;the Lis, Jings and Dais chew betel nuts.
III. Translate the following sentences into English. （在下列3题中选作2题，每题15分，共30分）
1、一般认为主题公园起源于荷兰，兴盛于美国。荷兰的一对夫妇为纪念在第二次世界大战屮牺牲的独生子兴建了—个微缩了荷兰120处风景名胜的公园。 此公园开创了世界微缩景区的先河。1952年，开业时就轰动欧洲，成为主题公园的鼻祖。而华特?迪士尼在美国加利福尼亚州兴建了世界上第一个现代大型主题公园——迪士尼乐闳，于1955年7月正式营业。
2、对于大部分人来说，那些关于夏威夷的星星点点的印象，足以让我们沉浸于她的魅力。金色的海滩，金色的人们，阳光、沙滩、大海、浪花……在蓝天和棕榈树之间，我们流连忘返。夏威夷岛是世界上最美的地方之一。这里天气晴朗，气温全年在华氏60 ~90度之间。夏天稍暖，冬天稍凉，但对于某呰人来说每天都是晒太阳的好日子。在这人间天堂没有陌生人，也许夏威夷人与生俱来的热情才是这里真正的魅力所在。我们称之为爱（Aloha)的精神。它是世界上最文明的地方之一，世界各地的文化都可以在这个熔炉中找到共同点，生根发芽。
3、饮食方面, 中国人很注重形式和外表，讲究“色、香、味”，所以在中国烹调里，菜的样式千变万化。而西方人讲究实际，在菜的变化上从不下什么工夫，更讲究营养搭配，注重菜的内在质量。我觉得这是中餐和西餐的主要差异。
