9、as, or languages-haschanged as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. Although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In Lon-don, shops wh
10、ere chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. The potato was the main food at Irish table. Thousands of Irish people starved when
11、 the crop failed during the “Potato Famine“(土豆饥荒) of 18451846, and thousands more were forced to move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the old World.

For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists cre-ate too much traffic, the i
17、nhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget bow much tourism can help the countrys economy. (79) It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the
18、 customs and beauty that at-tract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.On
19、 the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses canal so lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air termi-nals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. (80) For example, a major internationa
20、l-class tourism 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 will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, in-cluding roads to get to the hotel, electricity,
21、sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tour-ists, jobs and money are lost.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?（分数：2.00）A.It is ext
