Ⅱ.Reading comprehension Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.
(1)
Most people do not know very much about Canada. Mention the country and usually one of the two images will spring up to mind. On the one hand, you might picture a sparsely populated, frozen country where people live in igloos, eat fish, hunt bears and constantly endure snow and cold. On the other hand, you might think Canada is a country that is "just like America" . Even Americans are inclined to think of Canada as the 51 st state, a part of America that through some quirk of history is not one of the United States' states. It is easy to understand how such misleading impressions of Canada have been engraved. It is true that most of Canada lies very far north. Large tracts of the country are wild, virtually unpopulated Arctic tundra, full of dangerous animals and freezing temperatures. But most Canadians live in the south of the country, along the 49th parallel: about 90 percent of the population is estimated to live in within a few hundred kilometers of the Canadian-American border, in a climate that is much less extreme. Canadians and Americans are friendly neighbors, and Canadians frequently visit the US to do such mundane things as buy cigarettes and alcoholic drinks and gas for their cars--these things are less expensive in the US, where government taxes are lower. Most Canadians speak American-sounding English, eat hamburgers, wear jeans, play baseball and enjoy American television shows. And nowadays, many "American" TV shows and movies are actually filmed on location in Canadian cities and towns, which can look just like the US, but where labor costs are lower. It is no surprise that people often assume that Canadians are just like Americans.

All the reservation inquires are checked against room availability. Inquiry data are compared to previously processed reservations to ascertain the status of remaining accommodations. This checking results in one of three responses by the hotel: ·Acceptance of the reservation as requested. All special needs can be met. ·Suggestions of alternative room types or rates. The price can be negotiated. ·Suggestions of alternative lodging properties. The hotel is at full occupancy. A potential problem in the reservations process is overbooking. The hotel should always avoid accepting reservations for more rooms than ones actually available. This practice is common in the airline industry, but hotel properties have an obligation to maintain good customer relations in order to encourage repeat business. Hotels must monitor room availability through careful coordination of the binder with a page for each day of the year. Used in non-computerized hotels, the binder lists the rooms according to category and the code numbers given to each room. Agents mark large X's and O's over the dates that guests will occupy given rooms. Another device is the wall chart, which lists rooms horizontally and days of the month vertically. Tape is applied to the chart, and agents write in reservation information such as room types, rates, and codes. Different colored ink can be used to differentiate room types as well. The wall chart approach allows important information to be viewed at a glance. It eliminates the need for a reservations control book.
6. How is the status of remaining rooms in the hotel checked?
A.By comparing inquiry data with processed reservations.

Ⅵ.Passage translation Directions: Translate the following passages into Chinese.
1. For thousands of years men have been wandering around--for pleasure, for profit, or to satisfy their curiosity. When the only means of transportation were horses, camels, and small boats, travelers were already crossing seas and deserts to acquire rare goods or to visit famous places. For the pure joy of learning, scholars ventured into distant kingdoms and observed their customs. They tasted the foods; they questioned the wise men about their gods and their history; they sat in awe on the banks of newly discovered rivers. Then they went back home, reflecting upon what they had seen, and perhaps they wrote a book or two about their discoveries. Slowly, nations learned about each other, men met and ideas spread--for better or worse.
2. Preparing to explore the parks can be almost as important as the trip itself. The largest single reason for disappointing travel experiences is the failure to plan properly. Some people set forth with out the foggiest notion of available overnight accommodations. Others are determined to visit a dozen national parks in the course of a week, little realizing the distances between them. If you must travel in summer try to go early or late to avoid the midseason peak. More national parks are open throughout the year than most people realize. Fall is superb. The leaves turn color, skies are clear, the sun is bright. Campgrounds may be chilly in September and October, but you can easily find space. Even in the northern parks, roads and some overnight lodgings are open until late October. Best of all, the scene is natural. The animals are relatively undisturbed, the way all visi tors hope to see them.
