Tourism has become a very big 71 . For Spain, Italy and Greece it is the largest 72 of foreign exchange, and 73 for Britain, it is the fourth. Faced 74 this huge income, no government can afford to look 75 on the business; questions of hotel bath rooms, beach umbrellas and ice-cream sales are now 76 by ministers of tourism with solemn expertise. Before the Second World War the tourist industry was widely 77 as being unmanly and stupid. But 78 has become a new industry, as trade business used 79 ; in Spain, Italy, Greece and much of Eastern Europe, new road 80 have opened up in the country, first to tourists, and 81 to industry and locals. 82 of tourism is a nationalized industry, a 83 part of national planning. In a place west of Marseilles, the French government is killing mosquitoes and 84 six big vacation places to 85 nearly a million tourists. In Eastern Europe, a whole new seaside 86 has sprung up 87 the last few years the governments have greatly 88 when tourists from the West 89 from half a million four years 90 to nearly two million last year.

参考答案:
71.B business交易,生意,商业。tourism应当说是一个大的商业,生意,故B最合题意。firm公司。company公司。affair事物,事件。另外,通读全文后,我们可以在第75空所在句找到它。
72.C根据文章的内容,这里指的是“外汇来源”。soucre:来源,根源;source of income:收入来源;sources of energy:能源;factor:因素;re-source:资源;cause:原因。
73.A even:adv.即使。最符合上下文的逻辑关系。本句含义为:即使对于英国,旅游业也是第四大来源。
74.C be faced with:面对,面临。
75.D look down on (upon) 看不起,轻视。如:Mr.Garcia looks down on anyone who hasn't had a college education. 加西亚先生看不起没上过大学的人。
76.B前一句说:没有一个政府敢轻视这一行业,所以旅游部长要和专家亲自讨论一些琐碎的问题,如宾馆的卫生间,沙滩上的遮阳伞,冰激凌的销售等。因此discuss最符合题意。determined常用在词组be determined to do sth…(下定决心做……)中;argue:辩论,提出理由。sell:卖,出售,sold是其过去式。
77.A regard…as……:把……看作……
78.C根据上下文的意思,这里需填tourism.
79.C used to do sth.:表示过去常常做某事。be used to doing sth:习惯……。其余均非正确搭配。
80.D road system:道路系统。
81.C 因为前面出现first to…因此后面接then to…
82.D B项和C项意思上不对。tourism是不可数名词,所以A项也不对;much修饰不可数名词,因此只有D项正确。
83.A key:关键的。这里指旅游是国家计划的重要组成部分。因此A项符合题意。minor:次要的,不重要的;linking:连接;questioning:提问。它们都不符合题意。
84.B building和and前面的killing并列。
85.A attract:vt.吸引。建立大的旅游景点来吸引大批的游客。因此只有attract最符合题意。pull:v.拉,拽:hold:vt.容纳,举行;contain:vt.包含。
86.B culture:n.文化。本句含义为:一种全新的海滨文化出现了。因此只有B项恰当。
civilization:n.文明;writing:n.笔迹;book:n.书。
87.A over:在……其间。He'd had flu over Christmas.(他在圣诞节期间曾患感冒。)over the last few years:在过去的几年里。因此只有A项正确。
88.D benefit:vi.得益,受益。因此只有D最符合题意。本句含义为:由于旅游者的人数增加,政府大大的受益。suffer:v.遭受,忍受(常接from);lose:v.丢失;invest:v.投资。它们含义都不正确。
89.D multiply:vi.成倍增加。本句含义为:旅游人数成倍增加。因此只有D项最符合题意。add:v.增加(常用add to);divide:v.分开,分割;reduce:vt.减少。
90.C过去时中常用ago表示时间状语。
