二、复习内容
（一）名词
名词可分为可数名词和不可数名词。可数名词有单、复数之分。
[复习要点]
不可数名词只用单数形式。抽象名词、物质名词和专用名词均为不可数名词。 如：knowledge, water,China.
绝大多数名词的复数构成方法是在单数形式后面加-s或-es，但也有一些名词的复数形式特殊。如：man-men；woman-women；child-children。
单数名词所有格的构成是单词后加“’s”, 通常用于有生命的存在物的名词。如：Mary’s room。名词所有格也可以由介词of加名词构成，通常用于无生命的存在物的名词, 如：the window of the classroom.
（二）冠词
冠词置于名词之前，帮助说明该名词所指的对象。冠词可分为不定冠词a(an)和定冠词the。
[复习要点]
不定冠词a/an用于单数名词前，表示某一类人或事物的“一个”。
定冠词the可用于单数或复数名词前，也可用于不可数名词前。表示某一类人或事物中特定的一个或一些。
定冠词用于形容词最高级及序数词前。如：the best season最好的季节；the first lady第一夫人。
在世界上独一无二的事物前或演奏的乐器名称前面加定冠词。如：the earth 地球；Play the piano弹钢琴。
在某些惯用词中，名词前不加冠词，以具体名词表示抽象概念。如：go to school上学。
在大学名称前不加冠词，但有of介词短语修饰大学名称时，需要加the。如：Oxford University牛津大学; the university of North Carolina北卡罗来纳州大学。
（三）代词
代词用于指代。包括：人称、物主、反身、疑问、不定代词等。
[复习要点]
不定代词both, all, either, any, neither, none的区别：
表示“都”
表示“单个”
either （两者中任何一个）
Neither（两者都不）
表示三者及以上
Any（三者及以上中的任何一个）
none （全部都不）
few和little表示“少”和“几乎没有”的意思，具有否定意义。a few 和a little表示“一点”和“一些”的意思，具有肯定意义。但要注意，（a）few修饰或代替可数名词，（a）little修饰或代替不可数名词。
由and连接两个先行词时，代词用复数。
当each, everyone, everybody, no one, none, nobody, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody,用作主语或主语限定词时，其相应的代词一般用单数形式。
当everything, anything, something, nothing等用作主语时，句中相应的代词一般只按语法一致的原则，用单数形式。
（四）介词
介词置于名词、代词或相当于名词的词前面，表示其后面的词与主句成分的关系。
[复习要点]
注意部分常用介词的用法差异。
A．表示时间的介词
at, in, on, during
at 表示确切的时间点或较短暂的一段时间。如：at two o’clock, at sunrise等。
in 表示一天中的各部分时间或较长的时间。如：in the morning, in spring, in 1997等。
on 表示具体的某一天或某一天的上午或下午。如：on Sunday, on Monday afternoon等。
during 表示一段时间，强调时间的延续。如：during the summer vacation等。
from 表示“从某时起”， from…to 表示“从某时到某时”。如：from 1981 to 1985。
by 表示“到某时止”，“在某时之前”。如：by the end of this month。
B．表示地点的介词
in 表示教大的地方或场所，at表示教小的地方或场所。如：in London, at the airport等。
to, towards, for
to表示目的地，towards表示方向， for表示朝着…目标。例如：to travel to Chicago, to ran towards one’s mother；to left for London等。
（五）数词
数词分为两大类：基数词和序数词。基数次表示数量（one, two, three…），序数次表示次序（first, second, third…）。
百、千、万、百万、千万这样的数，一般只能用单数，如：three hundred, five thousand,
ten million；如果要用复数，则只能与of结构连用，并且前面不能再有基数词，如 thousands of, billions of。
在年龄的表达时，注意以下表达法：
He is six years old.（其中year须用其复数）
He is a six-year-old boy.（其中year不用复数）“他6岁了。”
英语中表示分数时，分数的分子以基数词表示，分母以序数词表示，当分子大于1时，用以表示分母的序数词要用复数。如：1/3—one third， 2/3 — two thirds.
（六）形容词和副词
形容词为用于修饰名词的词，表示名词的属性。副词为修饰动词、形容词和其他副词的词，通常用来说明时间、地点、程度、方式等。
[复习要点]
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级构成形式
1) 绝大多数单音节词和部分特殊的双音节词后加-er构成比较级，加-est构成最高级。
2) 大部分双音节词和所有的多音节词，前面加more构成比较级，加the most 构成最高级。
同等程度比较：
as + 原级 + as
e.g. Ted is as bright as Henry.
不同程度的比较：
1）比较级 + than
e.g. John is taller than Mark.
2）not as / so + 原级 + as
e.g. Jack does not behave as / so politely as Bob.
当被修饰的是以-thing, -one, -body结尾的不定代词时，作定语的形容词要后置。例如：
一些形容词和副词有两种比较级形式。例如：
older, oldest说明人的年纪或年代的久远。
elder, eldest 说明家庭成员的长幼。
形容词的最高级前应加定冠词the, 如加a则表示“非常”之意。例如：
This is a most interesting film. 这是部非常有趣的电影。
（七）动词时态和语态
英语的时态：就是用动词不同的形态来表达不同时间发生的动作或存在的状态。动词的语态：
表示主语和谓语之间的关系。
[复习要点]
A． 动词的时态
一般现在时
通常表示客观事实或真理；或表示经常发生的、习惯性的动作或存在的状态。形式为：V（原形） 或V-s /es （第三人称单数）。例如：
The earth moves around the sun. 地球围绕太阳转。
They always go to school by bike. 他们总是骑自行车去上学。
一般过去时
表示过去时间所发生的动作或存在的状态，常与过去特定的时间状语连用；或表示过去某一段时间一直持续或反复发生的动作，可与表示频度的时间副词连用。形式为: V-ed。例如：
I bought this computer five years ago. 五年前我买了这太电脑。
He often took a walk after supper when he was alive. 他还在世时，经常晚饭后去散步。
一般将来时
表示在未来某个时间将要发生的动作或存在的状态。形式为：will / shall +V. 。例如：
The telephone is ringing. I will answer it.电话在响，我去接。
现在进行时
表示此时此刻或现阶段正在进行的动作。形式为：is/am/are+ V-ing。 例如：
The police are looking for the two missing children.警察正在寻找两个失踪的小孩。
过去进行时
表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作。形式为：was/were + V-ing。例如：
Jane burnt her hand when she was cooking the dinner. 珍妮在准备晚餐时烧伤了手。
现在完成时
表示过去发生的某一动作对现在造成的影响或结果；或表示过去已经开始，持续到现在
的动作或状态，往往和表示一段时间的状语连用。形式为：have/has+过去分词。例如：
The milk has already become undrinkable 牛奶已经不能喝了。
We have studied English for five years. 我们已学了五年英语。
过去完成时
表示在过去某一时刻以前已经开始并一直延续到这一时刻、或是在此刻前已经完成的动
作。形式为：had+过去分词。例如：
We had got to the station before seven o’clock. 七点以前我们到达了车站。
B． 动词的语态
英语有两种语态：主动语态表示主语是谓语动作的执行者，被动语态表示主语是谓语动作的承受者。被动语态形式为：be+过去分词，例如：
Mother beat me this morning. 妈妈今天早上打了我。
I was beaten this morning. 今天早上我被打了。
（八）非谓语动词
非谓语动词指的就是动词不定式(to do)，动名词(doing)和分词(doing/done). 他们在句子中不能作谓语，故得此名。
[复习要点]
有些及物动词只能用不定式作宾语，如：hope，want，fail，decide，manage等。例如：
We all hope to see you. 我们都希望见到你。
有些及物动词只能用动名词作宾语，如：admit, avoid, enjoy, finish, mind等。例如：
He has finished doing his work.他已经干完了他的工作。
有的及物动词既可用不定式，也可用动名词，但其意义有所不同。如：remember, forget,
regret, stop等。例如：
I forgot to take aspirin this morning.. 我上午忘了吃阿斯匹林了（但现在想起来了）。
I forgot taking aspirin and took it again a few minutes ago. 我忘了吃过阿司匹林，几分钟以前又吃了一次。
一些表示感官词或使役动词，如see, hear, have, make, let等后面用不带to的不定式（do）作宾补。
（九）情态动词
情态动词表示讲话人的语气或情感，如能力、义务、猜测等。
[复习要点]
can表示能力，用在一般现在时和过去时中；在否定句或感叹句中，can表示惊讶，怀疑，不相信。
may的否定形式是may not或者mustn’t，意为“不行，不许”。
must 表示“义务”上的“必须，应该”， have to表示客观上的“不得不”。
以must开始问句，肯定回答时用must，否定回答时用needn’t（不必）。
（十）虚拟语气
是动词的一种特殊形式，用来表示说话人所说的话不是客观存在的事实，而是一种愿望、可能、推测、建议、要求或假设。
[复习要点]
1. 用在动词suggest（建议）, order（命令） , demand（要求）等表示要求、命令、建议语气的词引导的宾语从句以及相应名词suggestion，order，demand等后面的从句，从句的谓语用“（should）+动词原形”构成虚拟语气。例如：
The teacher suggested that everyone（should）buy this dictionary. 老师建议每人买本这种字典。
My suggestion is that we（should）tell him about it. 我的建议是我们应该告诉他事情真相。
2. 在if引导的条件状语从句中，如果表示对不可能发生的事实的一种假设，或对已经发生过的事实进行一种相反情况的假设，要用虚拟语气：
从句谓语形式
主句谓语形式
虚拟现在时
（与现在事实相反）
动词的过去式
（be一般用were)
should (would, could,
might )+动词原形
虚拟过去时
（与过去事实相反）
should (would, could,
might )+have done
If I were you, I would buy this book.如果我是你，我就买了这本书了。（与现在事实相反）
If he had been here, he might have been able to help us.如果他当时在这儿，他也许能够帮我们。（与过去事实相反）
（十一）主谓一致
就是谓语动词必须与主语在数和人称上取得一致。
[复习要点]
谓语动词用单数的情况
主语为动词不定式、动名词和主语从句时，谓语动词用单数。
事件、国名、机构名称作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
one, every, everyone, everybody, nobody, anybody, somebody, either, neither做主语或修饰主语时，谓语动词用单数。
4. 表示时间、距离、金钱、体积、数字等词语作主语表示总量时，谓语动词用单数。
谓语动词用复数的情况
both, many, few等词语做主语或修饰主语时，谓语动词用复数。
由and连接两个主语时，谓语动词一般用复数。
（十二）倒装
倒装是指将句子的谓语动词或其助动词放在主语之前。
[复习要点]
否定词或否定词组位于句首时，句子的主、谓需要倒装。例如：
Never have I read such an interesting book. 我从来没有读过如此有趣的书。
so/nor/neither开头的句子，表示前句中谓语所说明的情况也同样适用于后句中的主语时，用倒装。例如：
He doesn’t like music. Nor/Neither doI.他不喜欢音乐，我也不喜欢。
（十三）从句
英语中从句包括：状语从句、定语从句、名词性从句。
[复习要点]
在句中起名词作用的从句称为名词从句，可以在句中作主语、宾语、表语、同位语等，分别称主语从句，宾语从句，表语从句，同位语从句。名词性从句通常由连词that, whether/if，连接代词who, what, which等以及连接副词when, where, how, why等引导。
1）由that引导的名词从句：that无任何语义，不做句子成分，仅起连接主、从句的作用。
2）由whether / if 引导的名词性从句：whether / if表示“是否”的意思。Whether 和if 引导
从句的区别为：Whether后可直接跟or not, if则不能; 介词后的宾语从句应使用whether引
导，不能用if引导; whether可引导主语从句和表语从句，if则不能。
3）连词代词或连接副词引导的名词从句：连接代词或连接副词有一定意义，并且在名词从句中会充当某种句子成分。如连接代词一般在从句中会作主语、宾语或定语；连接副词在从句中一般作时间状语、地点状语等。
1）在句子中作定语的从句称为定语从句。定语从句通常位于它所修饰的名词或代词之后，这种名词或代词称为先行词。引导定语从句的词语称为关联词。
2）关联词在定语从句中充当一定成分，可用作主语、宾语和状语等（其中作宾语并且前面没有介词时可省略相应的关联词）。常见的关联词有which, who, that, when, where等。例如：
A man who does not try to learn from others cannot hope to achieve much. 一个不向别人学习的人是不能指望有多大成就的。（作主语）
We can never forget the day when Hong Kong returned to out homeland. 我们永远不会忘记香港回归祖国的那一天。（作时间状语）
用作状语的从句称为状语从句。它主要用于修饰句子中的谓语动词，从各个方面来修饰、说明谓语动词发生时的各种情况。常见的状语从句有九种之多。状语从句由从属连词引导，不同的从属连词引出不同的状语从句。
时间状语从句：常见的表示时间的从属连词有：when（当…时候）while（当…时候）, as（正当…时）, before（在…以前）, since（自…以来）, until / till（直到…）
地点状语从句：从属连词有：where，wherever等等。
原因状语从句：从属连词有：because, as等。
条件状语从句：从属连词通常有：if, unless, once, as/so long as （只要）, in case （以防）, provided (that)（倘若）, on condition that（如果）等。条件状语从句中表示将来要用一般现在时态。
目的状语从句：从属连词有：so（使得）, that（以便）, so that（为了，使得）, in order that（以便）, for fear that（唯恐，以免）, lest（以免，以防）等。
结果状语从句：常由 so that, so...that, such...that 等连接词引导。
比较状语从句：从属连词主要有：than, as...as, not so/as...as, “the + 比较级, the + 比较级”（越……，越……）等。
方式状语从句：从属连词有 as（正如）， as if/though（似乎，好像）等。
让步状语从句：常由 though, although, even if/though（即使）, however （不管怎样）, whatever（无论什么）, no matter how/who...（不管……）等连接。
主句和从句不能同时使用连接词。如：
Though it was getting dark, he still went on working. (正)
Though it was getting dark, but he still went on working. (误)

（一）记叙文
记叙文通常要求描写一段经历、一件事或者描写个人情感、观感等。记叙文包括六大要素：时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果。这种作文经常用的是时间顺序法，即按照事情发展的先后顺序进行讲述。在写记叙文的时候注意以下几点：
1．在记叙文的开头应该交代时间、地点和人物；事件和原因放在文章中叙述，结果要在文章结尾交代；
2．可以用第一人称，也可以用第三人称；
3．要特别注意叙述的时间着眼点。叙述过去的人和事要以过去时为基点；叙述现在的人和事要以现在时为基点。
4．可适当使用一些表示事件发生的先后顺序的词语，是讲述更有条理性。如first“第一”，second“第二”，third“第三”，then“然后”，finally“最后”，consequently“结果”，at last“最后”，in the morning / afternoon / evening“在早上/ 下午/晚上”，last week / month“上个星期/月”，yesterday / today / tomorrow“昨天/今天/明天”等。
（二）说明文
说明文介绍事物（性质、特点、过程等）或人物（情况、简历、特征等）、解释事理（概念、原理、现象等）。主要有事物说明文和事理说明文。写说明文应该注意以下几点：
1．抓住事物特点即本质特征，从而使读者获得全面、深刻的认识。
2．安排说明顺序。说明文常用的结构安排有下列三种：时间顺序；空间顺序；逻辑顺序。
3．讲究说明方法。写好事物说明文，不仅要抓住特征，注意条理，而且要巧妙运用说明方法，像举例子、作比较、分类别、列数字、打比方等。可适当用一些词汇来表明句与句之间的逻辑关系。如first, second, third等表示分类，on the one hand“一方面”，on the other hand“另一方面”，but“但是”等表示对比和对照；for example / for instance“例如”表示举例说明。
4．说明文通常以一般现在时为基点，涉及到过去才用过去时态，提到将来才用将来时。
（三）议论文
议论文是针对某一观点阐述自己的看法，并且通过摆事实，将道理说明自己看法的依据是什么。写作中应注意以下几点：
1．议论文要求论点明确，论据充分有力；
2．论证严密，采用的方法有因果法、举例法、比较法等；
3．议论文短文篇章的组成：一般是Introduction – Body – Conclusion三段式文章，即于第一段中引出话题，从而提出主题，中间用一段到两段的篇幅采用举例、列举或比较的方式论证或说明自己的观点，于结论处重述主题、或归纳总结照应首段，或提出问题的解决方式等。
（四）书信
A．信件：信件分为感谢信、邀请信、求助信、安排信、道歉信、抱怨信以及祝贺信等。

Dreams may be more important than sleep. Some people don't need very much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short movies. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old movies. They come to us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memory.
Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.

A：people need to dream

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?
These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.
For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cites inEuropeand the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. InParis,France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.
Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth.
44、What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?
A：The shortage of energy and air pollution.
B：The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.
C：Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.
D：Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.
45、According to the passage, using garbage is ________.
A：for heating inFranceeach year
B：a new way in a modern society
C：a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage
D：too expensive as an energy source
46、What is the author's attitude?
A：Delighted

A：Garbage and the Earth
B：Fossil Fuel and Garbage
C：Land and Garbage
D：Garbage? Energy Source
I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.

A：Working part-time in college.

It takes a long time to grow a tree. How long? Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting. An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.
Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in "super-seeds." These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, s super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.
Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser Lumber Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.
44、This selection centres on _______.
A：the life span of trees
B：the age of redwoods
C：making trees grow quickly
D：cutting trees for lumber
45、Trees that grow faster are developed by _______.
A：planting many trees and fertilizing them
B：collecting seeds from strong, slow growing trees
C：selecting the seeds of the fastest growing trees
D：feeding them high-energy plant foods
46、Super-trees _______.
A：will be a great benefit to lumber companies
B：make extra-good lumber for buildings
C：will probably be weak because of their fast growth
D：may be defenceless to many insects and diseases
47、The word "therefore" in paragraph 2 indicates that a _______.
A：speech is beginning
B：conclusion follows
C：comparison is being made
D：metaphor is being used
What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?

Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream -as well as for developing over 75 flavors（味道）.
Some people think that it would be after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No-there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field.
In a typical morning on the job,Harrisontastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about12F.Harrisonexplains, "You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup."
While the ice cream warm up,Harrisonlooks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, "Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keepsHarrisonbusy but happy-working at one cool job.
48、What is John Harrison's job?
A：An official
B：An ice-cream taster
C：a chemist
D：An ice-cream manufacturer
49、According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the "cool" field, it is helpful to __________.

B：He examines the color of the ice cream.
C：He examines the color of the ice cream.
D：He lets the ice cream warm up.
51、Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!
Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink.

A：dream interpretation

D：sleeps and dreams

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed（恼怒）and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being（health and happiness）of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourist industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities（设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
48、Which of the following topics has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?
A：It is extremely important to develop tourism.
B：Building roads and hotels is essential.
C：Support facilities are highly necessary.
D：Planning is of great importance to tourism.
49、Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT
A：a bad impact on other industries
B：a change of tourists' customs
C：over crowdedness of places of interest
D：pressure on traffic
50、Not enough tourism can lead to
A：an increase of unemployment
B：a decrease in tourist attractions
C：the higher cost of support facilities
D：a rise in prices and a fall in pay
51、The word "handle" in the last paragraph most probably means
A：carry away
B：pick up
D：take down
