【1】根據(jù)People travelled to see the buildings, the food, the national dresses in foreign countries because they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past“在過(guò)去，人們?nèi)ネ鈬?guó)旅游是為了看那里的建筑、食物和民族服裝，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為他們和自己國(guó)家的人一樣”以及They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere“他們到處都有希爾頓或喜來(lái)登酒店”可知，空前和空后表示轉(zhuǎn)折，即“然而如今，一個(gè)大城市和另一個(gè)大城市相似”。故選D。

【2】根據(jù)The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past“答案就是人們對(duì)過(guò)去感興趣”以及Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries’ history and culture used to be like“大部分人去國(guó)外旅行是為了查明外國(guó)的歷史和文化是什么樣子的”。所以空處表示“歷史和文化是主要的吸引力”，故選A。

【3】根據(jù)Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit“每個(gè)國(guó)家也有自己美麗的地方供游客參觀”中的every country可知，與E項(xiàng)的their相對(duì)應(yīng)，即“他們自己特別的風(fēng)景將會(huì)吸引其他國(guó)家的游客”。故選E。

【4】根據(jù)It is not just its old buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, but also the people who live in it可知，不但有舊的建筑、藝術(shù)作品和美麗的地方，而且還有住在那里的人，所以一個(gè)國(guó)家的文化意味著很多，故選F。

【5】根據(jù)The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular可知，游客們來(lái)主要是因?yàn)槟抢锏挠押玫娜�，這就是為什么太平洋島國(guó)也受歡迎。這里講的是人，與B項(xiàng)相對(duì)應(yīng)“友好的人讓游客感到受歡迎”。故選B。
