10.When Americans in the manufacturing sector (制造業(yè)) cried out,"The Chinese are coming,"some years ago,they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities.Now Americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on June 17-but this time,it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States.U.S.tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors,who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan,will give a big help to their industry.
"We're very excited,"said Helen N.Marano,Director of the Office of Travel and Tourism Industries under the U.S.Department of Commerce.Before she talked to Beijing Review on June 17,Marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at Washington Dulles International Airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of Chinese tourists to visit the United States.
The first group consisted of 250 tourists,who left from Beijing,Shanghai and Guangdong on June 17,the day when newly appointed Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan and U.S.Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson started the fourth round of the China-U.S.Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) in Annapolis,Maryland.Each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials.
Coincidence (巧合) could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day.As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S.President George W.Bush in 2006,the first Chinese tourist group's arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media.
At the previous SED meeting last December,Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U.S.Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States.Under this agreement,China agreed to give an"approved destination status"to the United States,allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U.S.destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public.
The agreement"is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years,"Paulson said.
But what people in the U.S.tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie.
"I'm getting calls already from people saying things like,‘How do we get to do this?'and‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area?'"Marano told Beijing Review.Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen.

分析 文章主要講了隨著中美間各項(xiàng)協(xié)議的達(dá)成,越來越多的中國游客未來會(huì)到美國旅游,為美國旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展帶來各種好處,因此文章的一個(gè)主要內(nèi)容就是中國人將越來越多地前往美國.
解答 63:D細(xì)節(jié)題.由第一段第一句"they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities."可知正確答案為D.
64:B細(xì)節(jié)題.由第一段最后一句"but this time,it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of Chinese tourists to the United States.U.S.tourism officials have high expectations that well-off Chinese visitors,who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan,will give a big help to their industry."可知 Marano 激動(dòng)的原因是中國游客的到來能促進(jìn)旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展,故正確答案為B.
65:C細(xì)節(jié)題.由第二段第一句"'We're very excited,'said Helen N.Marano,"和第五段"'The agreement is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years,'Paulson said."等內(nèi)容可知許多人都?xì)g迎中國游客的到來,所以C項(xiàng)正確.而A、B、D項(xiàng)在文中均沒有相關(guān)內(nèi)容,所以A、B、D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.故正確答案為C.
66:A推斷題.文章主要講了隨著中美間各項(xiàng)協(xié)議的達(dá)成,越來越多的中國游客未來會(huì)到美國旅游,為美國旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展帶來各種好處,因此文章的一個(gè)主要內(nèi)容就是中國人將越來越多地前往美國,由此可知A項(xiàng)符合文意.而B、C、D項(xiàng)均沒有談到中國游客將大量赴美,只是講到第四輪 China-U.S.SED、中國人越多工作機(jī)會(huì)越多或者如何吸引中國人,所以B、C、D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.故正確答案為A.
