Question

Xu Hui is very excited. The Senior 1 student in a middle school in Beijing will go to South Korea with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(國家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路線).
By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak(高峰) in European tours.”
Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, 中國消費者協會) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations(名聲) and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies(旅行社) last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts(合同) with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保險)

Answer 1

ADBDD
試題分析：中國人旅游的時間多了；收入又持續增長使得去國外旅游成為可能。去國外旅行最總要考慮自己經濟能力。找一個靠得住的旅行社很不錯。在選擇旅行社時，每年都有很多的投訴，其中有中國消費者協會向消費者提供建議選擇正確的旅行社以幫助不讓一個放松的假期變成一個代價高的災難。
1.細節理解題。根據第三段段意：中國人旅游的時間多了；收入又持續增長使得去國外旅游成為可能。據此判斷文章提到中國人去國外旅游原因有二。故選A。
2.推測判斷題。根據第二段: Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.(收入又持續增長使得普通的中國人去國外旅游成為現實。）和Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency.（價格不應該成為選擇旅行社的一個重要的理由。）判斷:中國游客考慮的最大的問題應該是花費。結合常識理解D最佳。
3.推測判斷題。根據第八段的The China Consumers’ Association(CCA, ) offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster. （中國消費者協會向消費者提供建議選擇正確的旅行社以幫助不讓一個放松的假期變成一個代價高的災難。故選B。
4.詞義猜測題。把四個選項的意思代替random changes帶入原句：And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping. （大多數的抱怨是關于隨意改變旅游路線，旅游向導很糟糕，還有強迫購物。）推斷：如果游客同意改變就不會有抱怨，所以排除A；如果旅行社按計劃不做任何改變，那么也不會有抱怨產生，所以排除B；C意為旅行社拒絕改變路線，也和抱怨的意思相違背。通過排除法判斷選D。
5.歸納大意題。分析四個選項，結合文章大意判斷：想給中國游客一些建與文章的大意更貼近。故選D 。
