21、Tourism Regions

Ontario is paving the way for a stronger, more competitive tourism industry. Based on recommendations from the 2009 report, Discovering Ontario: a report on the future of tourism, the ministry established 13 tourism regions, each with a strong Regional Tourism Organization.

Each Regional Tourism Organization is independent, industry-led and not-for-profit and each provides leadership and coordination to support competitive and sustainable tourism regions. As a result, Ontario’s tourism industry now has a stronger combined voice and is better equipped to attract more visitors, generate more economic activities, and create more jobs across the province.

22、   Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the “wash up”. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.

At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.

Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill (法案) that was put aside by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to making laws before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.

As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven-to-11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”

The UK has been in the worst financial decline for generations. It does seem strange that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.

【1】The passage is mainly about _____________.

A.managing school lessons

B.teaching young people about money

C.making right laws to deal with economic crisis

D.helping students how to study effectively

【2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.

A.the author complains about the school education

B.the author is not satisfied with the government

C.students should have their own bank accounts

D.laws on financial education have been effectively carried out

【3】The website and the consumer campaigner work together to _________.

A.instruct the pupils to manage their pocket money

B.promote the connection of schools and families

C.ask the government to dismiss the parliament

D.appeal for the curriculum of financial education

【4】According to Pfeg, ___________.

A.the parents’ generation has learnt to avoid financial dangers

B.the teenagers will be in trouble if they are left alone

C.teenagers should not extend their spending power

D.75% of teenagers spend their money as planned

【5】The last paragraph is used to ___________.

A.stress the necessity of the curriculum reform

B.show the seriousness of the financial decline

C.make the readers aware of the parents’ responsibility

D.indicate some people are against the application

23、UK readers set a new record in translated fiction sales in 2018, with Chinese novels contributing to the boom.       【1】 . It says the sales have increased by 20% in 2018 compared with the previous year in an article on March 6. 【2】 , such as Liu Cixin's The Three-Body Problem and Jin Yong's A Hero Born. According to annual research commissioned by the Man Booker International(MBI) prize, total sales of translated fiction in the UK increased last year by 5.5 percent, amounting to a value of 184m yuan (£20.7m)-the highest figure since the research was first conducted in 2001.

【3】 . "The   rise in sales of translated fiction shows how hungry British readers are for terrific writing from other countries," said the administrator of the MBI prize, "This in really exciting news,and welcome confirmation that publishers have responded to the proven popularity and marketability of translated literature," said Charlotte Collins, co-chair of the UK's Translators Association.

Anna Holmwood, translator of A Hero Born, has worked a a literary agent, and has seen firsthand how Chinese titles continue to gain a greater audience worldwide, particularly in the English speaking world. 【4】 . She said the success of books by Louis Cha and Liu Cixin reflects British readers' growing appetite for new stories outside the English-speaking world. Publishers need to be more willing to introduce fresh work to readers. 【5】 . "I think British readers are more open-minded because of the diversified culture in the UK," Holmwood said. She also said that cit typically takes a few books into a series for sales to truly pick up, and "book two (of Jin Yong's four-volume series, Legends of the Condor Heroes) only just came out" in late January, suggesting Yong may have another hit on his hands.

A．It means taking more of a risk though

B．She sees it as a sign of the UK's market shifting

C．The record of sales in the UK comes from Chinese fiction

D．Chinese science-fiction and fantasy novels were sold strongly

E．Reading is the best way of putting themselves in others' shoes

F．Award-winning science fiction have been put into many languages

G．The Guardian highlighted the "extreme growth" in translated fiction sales

24、   The view from the top of Marina Bay Sands, a giant hotel, mall and casino, takes in the skyscrapers of Singapore, the fleets of ships entering and leaving the city's ports, the scattered tropical islands of the Singapore Strait and the crowds of soggy but determined selfie- takers trying to capture a perfect image of it all from the enormous infinity pool. Among the celebrities the hotel has lured (吸引) for a damp snap are Jing Boran and Fu Xinbo, Chinese film and music stars. China Daily, a Chinese state-owned newspaper, has declared the spot the eighth most romantic in the world. The place displays itself all over Chinese social media and offers special discounts and packages to visitors from China.

Such spin is increasingly important. Last year, for the first time, China was the biggest source of tourists to Singapore, accounting for 3. 2m of its 17. 4m visitors. Between January and September alone they spent more than $3bn ($ 2.3bn).

All across South-East Asia， tourism is booming. The number of visitors jumped by 49% between 2010 and 2015， to more than 109m. Tourism in Asia and the Pacific is growing faster than anywhere else in the world. The region receives a quarter of the world's holidaymakers (Europe’s share is still a half).

South-East Asia’s Edenic islands, ancient temples and delicious food are strong enticements (诱惑，怂恿). Visitors also flock to countries with cheap currencies: the weakness of the ringgit last year helped draw visitors to Malaysia, for example. Many countries in the region depend on the cash: tourism accounts for about 28% of Cambodia’s GDP and more than 20% of Thailand’s.

The most remarkable growth has been in tourists from China. The number visiting South-East Asia has increased fivefold over the past decade. Newly wealthy Chinese spent almost $ 26lbn travelling abroad in 2016, up from $73bn in 2011.

Indonesia, for one, has relaxed its visa rules to attract more of them. More seats on cheap flights have also helped pull in tourists: between 2013 and 2016 the number available each week on flights to South East Asia from China increased from 92,000 to 188,500.

But for the frenzied holidaying to continue to grow, infrastructure must improve, reckons Paul Yong of DBS, a Singaporean bank. Airports in places such as Manila and Jakarta are crumbling and surrounded by snaking traffic. Plans are afoot to increase annual capacity at Bangkok’s airports by tens of millions over the next four years. Hanoi’s Noi Bai will be expanded at a cost of $5.5bn to accommodate 35m passengers by 2020. Airports in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are to be upgraded too.

Other threats to thriving tourism are far harder to plan around, Travel operators tremble at the thought of economic downturns, volcanic eruptions and epidemic diseases. The head of one luxury holiday company says the regional outbreak of SARS, a respiratory disease, more than 15 years ago almost brought the industry to its knees. Political spats between China and its neighbours are another problem. So too is the manner in which Chinese visitors have been vilified in the region for snaffling prawns at buffets, barging into queues and misbehaving on planes. It makes many of them feel unwanted. But given that just 135m of China's 1. 4bn people have ever travelled abroad, South East Asian countries should prepare to welcome many more Chinese — even when they clog up the infinity pool.

【1】What can Marina Bay Sands be defined as?

A.A base for making films and musicals.

B.A complex for consumption and recreation.

C.A romantic spot for newly-married couples.

D.A financial center for international businessmen.

【2】Who account for the biggest share of holidaymakers to South-East Asia?

【3】Which of the following factors may attract more foreigners to South-East Asia?

A.The convenient transportation.

B.The improvement of local security.

C.The relatively economical prices.

D.The extreme poorness in that region.

【4】Which may NOT explain the sharp growth in tourists from China?

A.The rise of Chinese financial capacity.

B.The strong desire to consume in cash.

C.Various preferential treatments in that region.

D.Rich resources of tourism in these countries.

【5】What is the top priority of these South-East Asian countries?

A.To upgrade their basic facilities.

B.To advertise their quality service.

C.To weaken their cheap currencies.

D.To slow down the growth in tourism.

【6】What should Chinese visitors pay attention to while traveling in that area?

A.They should mind their manners.

B.They should handle political conflicts.

C.They should prevent epidemic diseases.

D.They should avoid natural disasters.
