"It's going to be a record travel season," says Jason Ader, a senior analyst with in vestment bank Bear, Stearns & Co. "The economy's strong. Consumers feel good. The stock market's up. And the prices we're seeing are as high as they've been since we've been keeping records, and that's since the fifties."
In all, American vacationers will take more than 270 million trips this summer -- 4 percent more than last year, according to the travel association. The top 10 destinations are Florida, California, Hawaii, Colorado, New York, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington state and Washington.
During such trips, a family of four will spend $ 213 a day for meals and lodging -- an increase of $ 3 from last year, according to a forecast released by the Travel Industry Association of America. In some cases, price increases are expected to double the inflation rate, which was 2.1 percent in March. The average daily price tag on a hotel room will increase 3.9 percent to $ 81.77 from $ 78.67, according to a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers and Bear, Stearns.
Traveling by car this summer is expected to cost about $10.66 per 100 miles, which covers gas, tires and maintenance, according to the American Automobile Association. The recent increase in gasoline prices should make long road trips more expensive. Nevertheless, car-rental companies are expecting more leisure rentals this summer compared with last and are pushing prices up accordingly.
Tickets on the major North American airlines will continue to increase, with prices jumping 10 percent by year's end, ac. cording to the Price Waterhouse Coopers' report. But the higher prices are not turning vacationers away from air travel. "Given the strong economy, and if all other factors are constant, travelers will most likely take to the domestic skies in record numbers despite higher costs to the wallet," says Dexter Wood, a Price Waterhouse Coopers consultant.
One reason Americans are more likely to travel this year is that.
A．airlines tickets are less expensive
B．more and more Americans have cars
C．the stock market is up
D．travel agents are offering special deals

It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little people read the speech. They began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.
(6) Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was______.
A．very critical
B．unpopular
C．very popular
D．very courteous

By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living.These are the wealthy.“We don’t have a budget,” says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street.“We just use our credit cards.”
The US has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional.First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies.Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement (廉价商品部).Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets.Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994.That’s up from $ 74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains.There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series.But shopping the USA is proving irresistible.Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases.The buying binge (无节制) has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the puring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank.And with a trade deficit at about $ 130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get.Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $ 298.
31.From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her.
A.are reluctant to carry cash with them.
B.simply don’t care how much they spend.
C.are not good at planning their expenditure.
D.often spend more money than they can afford.
32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that.
A.it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the US
B.it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the US.
C.tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that year.
D.tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year.
33.By saying “Nobody undersells America” (Underlined), the author means that .
A.no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products.
B.Nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities.
C.nobdy restrains the selling of American goods.
D.no other country sells at a lower price than America.
34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners？
A.Because they have gained much publicity through the American media.
B.Because they represent the world’s latest fashions.
C.Because they embody the most sophisticated technology.
D.Because they are available at all tourist destinations.
35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize.
A.the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits.
B.the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits.
C.tourism can make great contributions to its economy.
D.visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad.

Will We Take Vacation in Spaces？
When Mike Kelly first set out to build his own private space，ferry service， he figured his bread-and-butter business would be lofting Satellites into high-Earth orbit. Now he thinks he may have figured wrong. "People were always asking me when they could go，" says Kelly， who runs Kelly Space Technology out of San Bernardino， California. "I realized that real market is in space tourism. "
According to preliminary market surveys， there are 10，000 would-be-space-tourists willing to s， pend $ 1 million each to visit the final frontier. Space Adventure in Arlington， Virginia， has taken more than 130 deposits for a two-hour， $ 98，000 space tour tentatively （and somewhat du biously） set to occur by 2005. Gene Meyers of the Space Island Group says: "Space is the next exotiC．vacation spot. "
This may all sound great， but there are a few hurdles. Putting a simple satellite into orbit with no oxygen， life support or return trip necessary already costs an astronomical $ 22，000/kg. And that doesn"t include the cost of .insuring rich and possibly litigious passenger. John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists acerbieally suggests that the entire group of entrepreneurs trying to corner the space tourism market have between them "just enough money to blow up one rock et. " The U.S. space agency has plenty of money but zero interest in making space less expensive for the little guys. So the little guys are racing to do what the government has failed to do: design a reusable launch system that"s inexpensive， safe and reliable. Kelly Spaee"s prototype looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket engines. Rotary Rocket in Redwood City， California， has a booster with rotors make a helicopter-style. return.to Earth; Kistler Aerospace in Kirkland， Wash ington， is piecing together its versions from old Soviet engines， shuttle-style. thermal protection tiles and an" elaborate parachute system. The first passenger countdowns are still years away， but bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington are already informally discussing fligh.t regulations. After all， you can"t be too prepared for a trip to that galaxy far， far away.are plotting to build space hotels. Before the Russian space Mir came down， some people were talking about using it as a low-rent space hotel to reduce the cost. If a space hotel is finally built in space， and if you"re thinking of staying in it， you may want to check the Michelin ratings before booking your- self a suite.
Mike Kelly planned to turn his business of making bread and butter into a business that is engaged in space tourism. 查看材料
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

To Have and Have Not
It had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon. The road crew were playing a game with dollar notes. Folding them into small planes to see whose would fly the furthest. Having nothing better to do， I joined in and won five， and then took the opportunity to escape with my profit. Despite the evil-looking clouds， I had to get out for a while.
I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others， it didn"t have a sign shouting its name and business， and instead of the usual impersonal modem lighting， there was an appealing glow inside. Strangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this， I went inside.
It took my breath away. I didn"t know where to look， where to start. On one wahl there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toys and antique furniture， and on the wall in front of me， a 1957 stratocaster guitar， also in excellent condition. A card pushed between the strings said $ 50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records， reading their titles. And there was more...
"Can I help you？" She startled me. I hadn"t even seen the woman behind the counter come in. The way she looked at me， so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the experi-ence of her looking straight into me， and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger， nor strange，to her.
Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age. She reminded me faintly of my grandmother because， although her eyes were friendly. I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with. I spoke at last. "I was just looking really"， I said， though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.
The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room， indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar， too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars， no old necklaces， no hand-painted boxes with deli-cate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years， decades， to collect so much rub-bish， so many old documents arid papers.
I noticed some old books， whose gold lettering had faded， making their titles impossible to read. "they look interesting"， I said，with some hesitation. "To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience"， she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face， but didn"t add anything.
She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. "This is the best book I can give you at the moment"， she laughed. "If you use it. "I opened the book to find it full， or rather empty， with blank white pages， but paid her the few dollars she asked for it， beco~ning embar-rassed when I realised the notes were still folded into little paper planes. I put the book in my pocket， thanked her and left.
The writer wanted to leave the hotel，why？ 查看材料
A.To enjoy the good weather.
B.To have a change of scene.
C.To spend all his winnings.
D.To get away from the crew.

Cat in the Rain
There were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they passed on the stairs on their way to and from their room. Their room was on the second floor facing the sea. It also faced the public garden and the war monument. There were big palms and green benches in the public garden. In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea. Italians came from a long way off to look up at the war monument. It was made of bronze and glistened in the rain. It was raining. The rain dripped from the palm trees. Water stood in pools on the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the rain and slipped back down the beach to come up and break again in a long line in the rain. The motor cars were gone from the square by the war monument. Across the square in the doorway of the cafe a waiter stood looking out at the empty square.
The American wife stood at the window looking out. Outside right under their window a cat was crouched under one of the dripping green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so compact that she would not be dripped on.
"I'm going down and get that kitty," the American wife said.
"I'll do it," her husband offered from the bed.
"No, I'll get it. The poor kitty out trying to keep dry under a table."
The husband went on reading, lying propped up with the two pillows at the foot of the bed.
"Don't get wet," he said.
The wife went downstairs and the hotel owner stood up and bowed to her as she passed the office. His desk was at the far end of the office. He was an old man and very tall.
"I'll piove," the wife said. She liked the hotel-keeper.
"Si, si, Signora, brutto tempo. It is very bad weather."
He stood behind his desk in the fax end of the dim room. The wife liked him. She liked the deadly serious way he received any complaints. She liked his dignity. She liked the way he wanted to serve her. She liked the way he felt about being a hotel-keeper. She liked his old, heavy face and big hands.
Liking him she opened the door and looked out. It was raining harder. A man in a rubber cape was crossing the empty square to the cafe. The cat would be around to the right. Perhaps she could go along under the eaves. As she did this, someone came behind her. It was the maid who looked after their room.
"You must not get Wets" she smiled, speaking Italian. Of course, the hotel-keeper had sent her.
With the maid holding the umbrella over her, she walked along the gravel path until she was under their window. The table was there, washed bright green in the rain, but the cat was gone. She was suddenly disappointed. The maid looked up at her.
"Ha perduto qualque cosa, Signora？"
"There was a cat," said the Amex/can girl,
"A cat？"
"Si, il gatto."
"A cat？" the maid laughed. "A cat in the rain？"
"Yea," she said, "under the table." Then, "Oh, I wanted it m much. I wanted a. kitty."
When she talked English. the maid's face tightened.
"Come, Signora," she said. "We must get back inside. You will be wet."
"I suppose so," said the American girl.
They want back along the gravel path and passed in the door. The maid stayed outside m close the umbrella. As the American girl passed the office, the padrone bowed from his desk. Something felt very small and tight inside the girl. The padrone made her feel very small and at the same time really important. She had a momentary feeling of being of supreme importance. She went on up the stairs. She opened the door of the room. George was on the bed, reading. "Did you get the cat？" h
