　　(1)

　　Zimbabwe has fully reopened its tourism sector after five months of closure due to the

　　COVID- 19 pandemic.

　　Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu announced the development at a press conference Thursday.

　　He said the decision to fully reopen the sector, one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, was meant to forestall further job cuts and revenue losses in one of the country's important

　　sectors of the economy.

　　The minister, however, emphasized the need for the sector to continue to fully observe

　　COVID- 19 health and safety regulations, in order to minimize the spread of the disease.

　　"I am therefore, pleased to announce that following cabinet approval, all tourism activities can now resume operations," he said.

　　00837#旅游英语选读试题第3页(共9页)

　　“These include but are not limited to: game drives, bungee jumping, zip liners, helicopter rides, lion walks, elephant rides and all registered tourism activities,” the

　　minister said.

　　He said boat operations on lakes for both tourism and fishing can now also resume operations considering that in areas such as Kariba, the boating industry is a key anchor of

　　their tourism industry.

　　“This decision by Cabinet is indeed welcome as it comes at a time when massive retrenchments were looming in the sector and such layoffs would have threatened the

　　many lives that are dependent on tourism for survival," the minister said.

　　He added that the negative impact of the coronavirus-induced shutdown was felt across the whole tourism sector and its value chains, particularly in Kariba and Victoria

　　Falls, which are predominantly tourism reliant cities.

　　"We hope that this decision to reopen the sector will breathe life into the sector and

　　allow us to pick up the pieces again,”Ndlovu said.

　　He said Cabinet had since approved the resumption of domestic flights to boost the tourism sector, with considerations being made on when to open inter-city travel to boost

　　domestic tourist arrivals from other cities.

　　Government has since announced that the tourism sector is expected to contract by 7.4 percent in 2020 due to the economic fallout from the COVID- 19 pandemic.

　　As of Wednesday, Zimbabwe, which is still under a lockdown since March, had

　　recorded 6,638 COVID- 19 cases, including 5,250 recoveries and 206 deaths.

　　16. The reopening of the tourism sector in Zimbabwe helps to

　　A. minimize the spread of the disease

　　B. foresee the jobs and revenues

　　C. cut the employments and revenues

　　D. prevent the unemployment problems and revenue losses

　　17. According to the passage,all tourism activities can be resumed EXCEPT

　　A. activities involved with animals B. activities involved with rides

　　C. licensed activities D. unapproved activities

　　18. Which of the following statements about Kariba is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A. Kariba shares many chains with Victoria Falls.

　　B. Kariba is famous for its boating industry.

　　C. Kariba relies heavily on tourism industry.

　　D. Kariba is a town of Zimbabwe.

　　A. announced B. resumed

　　C. discussed D. considered

　　20. It can be concluded that this passage is

　　A. a newspaper reportB. a government report

　　C. an academic studyD. an economic plan

　　(2)

　　From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we

　　are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

　　It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations,

　　disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

　　The surprising thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated(亵渎) by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter

　　becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.

　　It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more

　　00837#旅游英语选读试题第5页(共9页)

　　difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person's driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws(where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the

　　annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

　　21. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

　　A. To praise the increase of life expectancy of human being in modern times.

　　B. To declare war between man and the motor-car.

　　C. To arouse people's attention to the life lost in car accidents.

　　D. To ask people to sit back behind the steering wheel.

　　22. Why does the author say,"his car becomes the extension of his personality"?

　　A. Driving can show the real hidden self of the driver.

　　B. Driving can make the driver frustrated.

　　C. Driving can cultivate the character of the driver.

　　D. Driving can embody the temper of the driver.

　　23. What does the author think of society toward motorists?

　　A. Society laughs at the motorists.

　　B. Society provides all the convenience to the motorists'behavior.

　　C. Society sees nothing wrong with the motorists.

　　D. Society likes to forgive the rude driving of the motorists.

　　24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents? A. Ban all the advertising on highways.

　　B. Give stricter driving tests.

　　C. Test drivers every three years.

　　D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.

　　25. The attitude of the author towards driving is

　　A. ironical B. critical C. appealing D. militant

　　In 1999, Tourism New Zealand 26a campaign to communicate a new brand position to the world. The campaign focused on New Zealand's scenic beauty, exhilarating outdoor activities and 27 Maori culture, and it made New Zealand one of the

　　strongest national 28 in the world.

　　A key feature of the campaign was the website www.newzealand.com, which provided potential visitors to New Zealand with a single gateway to everything the 29 had to offer.

And to maintain and improve standards, Tourism New Zealand organized a scheme whereby organizations appearing on the website underwent an independent evaluation 34a set of agreed national standards of quality. As part of this, the effect of each business on the environment was also

　　considered

　　The website was set up to allow both individuals and travel organizations to create 35 and travel packages to suit their own needs and interests. On the website, visitors can search for activities not 36by geographical location, but also by the particular nature of the activity. This is important as research shows that activities are the key driver

　　of visitor 37 , contributing 74% to the total, while transport and accommodation

　　account for the 38 26%. The more activities that visitors undertake, the more

　　satisfied they will be.

　　The Tourism New Zealand website won two Webby awards for online achievement and innovation. More 39perhaps, the growth of tourism to New Zealand was impressive. Overall tourism expenditure increased by an average of 6.9% per year between 1999 and 2004. From Britain, visits to New Zealand grew at an average annual rate of 13% between 2002 and 2006, compared to a rate of 4% overall for British visits abroad. The

　　40 .lessons apply anywhere - the effectiveness of a strong brand, a strategy based on

　　unique experiences and a comprehensive and user-friendly website.
