8、en in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center. The research by the European think-tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent
9、 of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure. The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling
10、 health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries economies and the travel industry. In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell
11、 ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The “Health Travel“ report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people as
12、sume they will be told about health risks and dont realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures dont contain any health information. The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass
13、 on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the “Know Before You Go“ campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Offices advice to customers. But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (细查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and trav
14、elers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.（分数：10.00）(1).Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little knowledge of_（分数：2.00）A.the health pro
15、blems on the tripB.the diseases they have developedC.the policy of the destination countryD.the advice given by the local hospital(2).The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because_.（分数：2.00）A.individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the touristsB.the way people travel
16、 today has become more complexC.there is lack of international cooperationD.it is often infectious in nature(3).According to a report in the “Health Travel“,_.（分数：2.00）A.great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseasB.many travelers failed to realize the health risks they wou
17、ld face abroadC.travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to touristsD.travel health advice provided tor the tourists is not adequate and often out of date(4).The word “impact“ (Line 5, Para. 3) most probably means_.（分数：2.00）A.affectionB.influenceC.contributionD.significa
18、nce(5).The authors purpose in writing the passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.to stress the health threat that tourists face abroadB.to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroadC.to advise travelers about what to do before they travel abroadD.to discuss the relationship between ones health and worlds econ
19、omyBe careful of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took
20、that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!“ This guys a winner, right? Maybe yes, maybe no. We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted
21、important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jo
22、bs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smiths term, the State lost one million jobs!“ Thats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the State had a net gain of two million jobs.“ Advertisers will sometimes u
23、se half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast (自夸), “Nine out often doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩).“ It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
24、This kind of deceiving happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can be a lie as well.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “deceive“ (Line 1, Para. 1) probably means_in this passage.（分数：2.00）A.to tell someone to make his judgmentB.to refuse to believe that something is true
25、C.to make someone believe something is trueD.to give someone a wrong belief about something(2).According to the passage, the half-truths used by advertisers in their advertisements are often_.（分数：2.00）A.illogicalB.interestingC.misleadingD.persuasive(3).The authors purpose in writing this passage is
26、to tell readers_.（分数：2.00）A.to think carefully about what they read and hearB.to avoid leaving out important informationC.how to read advertisementsD.how to deal with liars(4).Which statement is true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Its common to deliberately omit important information in a news
27、report.B.Its quite likely that the truth can be used in dishonest ways.C.Most people became jobless during Governor Smiths term.D.It is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies.(5).Which is the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Why People Lie.B.Making False Claims.C.Lying with th
28、e Truth.D.How to Win a Lottery.Now, online learning has become acceptable and commonplace. It is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to take classes; it will allow courses to be delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure theyd better start teaching online o
29、r be left without a job. Whether any of this is true or not doesnt matter online learning is “hot“ and everybody wants to be a part of it. The following questions are intended to guide you in your decision about whether an online course is a good match for you. Yes No 1. I have excellent organizatio
30、nal skills. 2.I am a very self-directed learner. 3.I tend to get things done ahead of time rather than waiting to the last minute. 4.

I have Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape 4.x or later on my computer and my Internet access is via a 56K modem o
32、r better. 10. I have frequent access to a computer and to the Internet. If you answered YES to most of these questions, it is a good sign that you have the learner characteristics needed to succeed in an online course. If you answered NO to most of these questions, its possible that taking a fully o
33、nline course may not be your best choice. You may wish to try online learning in a web-enhanced course to determine if a fully online course is the best choice to meet your educational needs. If you plan to take an online course at Armstrong Atlantic State University, you will have access to technol
34、ogy help with your course through Student Technology Services. They can be reached by phone 927-5321 or by email at techhelpmail.armstrong.edu.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage we can learn that online learning has become “hot“ because_.（分数：2.00）A.a lot of students like its flexibility and convenienceB
35、.it doesnt require classrooms or other on-site facilitiesC.everybody wants to be a part of itD.more teachers start teaching online(2).Those who_may not be successful when they take a fully online course.（分数：2.00）A.have easy and convenient access to a computerB.can find 12 hours a week on lineC.are p

39、ans are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because, for them, personal happiness isnt part of the plan, it would seem to follow that ones happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do win attitude at least when it comes
40、 to filling out surveys. The planets happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdams Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while
41、troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3. Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesnt hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement tor most
42、of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness. The U.S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No.1, and running around the
43、world shouting you are No.1, doesnt mean that you feel like No.1 inside. Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments. Thats especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (迷恋) with cultures where,
44、as the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tze put it, “happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness“. Still, if you belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, youll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard and thinking about the source of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly,
45、 you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.（分数：10.00）(1).Danes are happier than Japanese because_.（分数：2.00）A.they take a more positive attitude to lifeB.they do not need to work so hardC.they are a lot wealthierD.they are from Europe(2).The word “counts“ (Line 1, Para. 2) most probabl
