这是一篇说明文。介绍了正在迅速发展的全球旅游业,但有一个例外——因为种种原因,美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。
【1】考查副词。句意:全球旅游业正发展迅速。本句谓语动词是is developing,要用副词修饰is developing,说明发展的速度如何,故填quickly。
【2】考查冠词。句意:美国人曾经是这个行业最大的推动者。根据形容词最高级biggest可知此处用the,故填the。
【3】考查时态。句意:去年,中国人比其他任何国家的人旅行和消费的都要多。句子时间是Last year,主语是more Chinese people,因此应该用一般过去时时态,travel的过去式是travel(l)ed,故填travel(l)ed。
【4】考查连词。句意:随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕,他们的旅行预算也在增长。这里表示伴随的情况,随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕,as在这里是连词,意为“随着”,句首要注意大写。故填As。
【5】考查现在分词作结果状语。句意:印度游客的数量也在增加,还有约旦、澳大利亚和以色列等国,让印度人更容易获得签证。主句是The number of Indian travelers is also rising印度游客的数量也在增加,因此就使得印度人更容易获得签证,这里用现在分词表示结果状语。故填making。
【6】考查名词复数。句意:尽管只有7%的中国公民持有护照。谓语是have,主语中国公民, passport,是可数名词,故护照也要用复数,故填passports。
【7】考查名词。句意:墨西哥是美国人的首选。the number one第一,后接名词单数形式,故填choice。
【8】考查非谓语动词。句意:与此同时,欧洲人倾向于留在欧洲,约90%的欧洲游客在欧洲过夜。名词nights与spend是逻辑上的动宾关系,且句中还有by,应该用过去分词spent,表示被动,故填spent。
【9】考查介词。句意:世界上大部分地区的旅游业都在增长,只有一个显著的例外。根据exception“例外”可知这里是指前面句子情况的例外,是一种伴随关系,故填with。
【10】考查形容词比较级。句意:对穆斯林国家人们的旅行禁令、更多的签证检查和美元走强使得美国在国际游客中不那么受欢迎。根据句中形容词比较级more可知此处应该也用形容词比较级,修饰名词 dollar,故填stronger。
