The unknown world’s mystry

    The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water. If the waters of the ocean could be removed, the sea floor with its wide valleys, irregular mountains and rivers in the sea would be an unbelievable sight.

Tourism under the deep blue sea

    Tourists can now explore the world beneath the waves without ever getting wet. From tourist submarines (潛艇) to underwater dining, undersea tourism is making a big splash.

Tourist submarines

    The popularity of submarine tours has grown rapidly in the last decade. Now, tourist submarines operate in more than 20 locations worldwide, including the waters around Okinawa and Taiwan’s Green Island. The submarines carry nearly 2 million tourists each year. Large windows offer passengers spectacular views as the submarines explore colorful coral reefs and sunken ships. Most one-hour tours cost about US $80.

Under water dinning

    For a more upscale experience, tourists can enjoy fine dining under the sea. Last summer the Hilton Maldives Resort opened the world’s first underwater restaurant, Ithaa. Diners walk down a staircase into the restaurant, which rests 35 feet beneath the waves of the Indian Ocean. Transparent walls surround the dining area, and you can treat guests to a panoramic (全景) ocean view.

    But this excellent view doesn’t come cheap. The tasting menu costs US $200 per person. Be sure to make reservations early, too. The restaurant seats only 14 people.

What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A. The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world.    B. The sea covers 71% of the earth.

C. Some information about the sea floor.   D. The reasons for researching undersea tourism.

What does the author really mean by saying “undersea tourism is making a big splash” in Para2 ?  

A. Undersea tourism is a new fashion in travelling. B. Your clothes will be made wet by the water splash. C. Undersea tourism is dangerous. D. There is still a long way for undersea tourism to go.

Which of the following statements about tourist submarines is RIGHT?

A. Tourist submarines only have a history of about 10 years.

B. There are tourist submarines in every part of the world now.

C. Tourist submarines have carried about 2 million tourists so far.

D. People can enjoy tourist submarines in the waters around Okinawa.

The walls of the restaurant Ithaa are most probably made of               .

A. stone         B. brick           C. glass          D. steel

While most travelers aim to stay out of the hospital while on vacation, a growing number of medical tourists－people who combine treatment with travel － are crossing international borders for the purpose of getting medical services, which can range from a hip replacement to a tummy tuck. Widespread air travel, increasing healthcare costs in developed countries, long waiting lists and an ageing world population have all contributed to a global increase in medical tourism in the past decade. And Asia takes the lead in terms of world market share.

More than 89% of medical tourists travelled to Thailand, India or Singapore in 2010, with Bangkok and Singapore leading the pack. But the cost of hotel rooms and treatment are both far more expensive in Singapore than in the Thai capital, making Bangkok the most popular place for medical tourism in the world. Even after the serious floods of 2011, 19 million tourists visited Thailand in 2011, a 20% jump from 2010, with about 500,000 tourists travelling specifically for medical treatment.

Given Thailand’s reputation for outstanding service, it is not hard to see why Bangkok has quickly become the medical tourism centre of Asia. The Tourism Authority of Thailand(TAT), which began medical tourism in 2004, has a detailed medical tourism website that lists many of the most popular treatments available, including dental work, dermatology and cosmetic surgery, as well as listing reputed hospitals, making it easy for potential visitors to decide on a procedure. TAT has also recently partnered with Krungthai Bank, the national bank of Thailand, to offer tourists a card called the Miracle Thailand Card, which offers some medical and life insurance coverage in case of an accident.

“The hospitals in Bangkok are some of the highest quality in the world，meeting US standards，”said Steven Lash, CEO of a US-based medical travel company that sends tourists to Bangkok as well as to seven other countries, including Turkey and Mexico. "All of the tourists we have sent to these hospitals have given us excellent feedback (反饋) on their procedures and their experiences at the hospitals."

1. Medical tourism is so popular nowadays partly because_____.

A．a(chǎn)ged patients prefer to travel

B．a(chǎn)ir travel is cheaper than before

C．local hospitals lack advanced equipment

D．medical treatment is expensive in some countries

2.Why is Bangkok’s medical tourism ahead of Singapore’s?

A．Bangkok provides an excellent service at lower prices.

B．Medical tourists in Bangkok get high health insurance.

C．The local authority in Bangkok has a good reputation.

D．Bangkok has a detailed medical tourism website.

3.The author develops the third paragraph mainly by _________.

A．giving figures                          B．Presenting effects

C．using examples                         D．making comparisons

4.Steven Lash thinks Bangkok’s hospitals_______.

A．a(chǎn)re really excellent                      B．a(chǎn)re welcomed by Americans

C．a(chǎn)re famous mainly for their service          D．a(chǎn)re better than hospitals in the USA

5.What is the text mainly about?

A．The background of medical tourism.

B．The rise of medical tourism in Bangkok.

C．The advantages of medical tourism in Bangkok.

D．The comparison of medical tourism in Asian countries.

Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded (入侵)by a small frog called the coqui (ko--kee). There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there. They are normally found in the southeastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.

The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Florida. Their number has sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaii Islands hidden in plants.

The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, call to females and mates. The call of the male coqui sounds like. Ko kee! Ko kee!

In the southeastern United States, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been considered as a harmful animal. The coqui frogs are a major danger to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects (昆蟲)every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. The insects also are important food for Hawaii’s native rare birds. The frogs also are affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have been annoyed by the loud calls made by male coqui frogs to female frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep.

The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport ,sell or release(釋放)the frogs there.

The Hawaii Department of Agriculture is trying to find an effective chemical that can be safely used to kill the frogs. For now, the frogs may only be caught by hand. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture says the greatest danger to the economy and environment of the state is from harmful species, like the coqui.

1.The statement that can best summarize the main idea of the passage is         .

       A．the coqui invaders have seriously affected the tourism industry in Hawaii

       B．it is not permitted to transport, sell or release the coqui frogs in Hawaii

       C．the coqui invasion has serious effects on the economy and environment in Hawaii

       D．great efforts have been made by the Hawaii people to kill the coqui

2.The coqui frogs originally arrived in Hawaii            .

       A．by chance                                           B．a(chǎn)t the request of all the local citizens

       C．a(chǎn)s a gift                                              D．a(chǎn)s goods demanded in the local market

3.Visitors to Hawaii don’t like the coqui frogs mainly because                 .

       A．they are a big danger to the environmental system there

       B．the loud noise made by the frogs bother their rest at night

       C．they affect the reproduction of the local plants and insects

       D．visitors could no longer see the native rare birds because of them

4.The two factors leading to the rapid spread of coqui frogs in Hawaii are           .

       A．the frogs’ habit and the environment in Hawaii

       B．the large number of the insects and the plants in Hawaii
