As the Labor Day public holiday starts this year, Chinese travel agencies have a new right: to blacklist poorly-behaved tourists in an effort to prevent ill manners. Tourists will be blacklisted for uncivilized behaviors such as acting antisocially on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, or sabotaging historical exhibits. According to the regulations issued by the China National Tourism Administration (NTA), tour guides and leaders have the right to report on bad behaviors to the government. The new regulations mainly come from the growing concern about the ill manners of Chinese tourists abroad.
In 2015, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2014, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.
Now with the latest regulations, Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines issued by NTA, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes. Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel.
Yet, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.
1.What’s the main purpose of the new regulations?
A. To blacklist poorly-behaved tourists.
B. To guide the Chinese tourists how to travel farther.
C. To introduce the famous places of interest all over the world.
D. To improve the Chinese tourists’ behavior abroad.
2.What does the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Damaging. B. Interrupting.
C. Recovering. D. Admiring.
3.Which of the following behavior is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Damaging ancient Egyptian temples.
B. Taking life vests away from airplanes.
C. Taking photos in areas marked“No photos”.
D. Fighting with others when taking pictures.
4.What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Respect local customs whenever we travel abroad.
B. Chinese tourists’ ill manners will be improved.
C. More Chinese will go abroad to travel.
D. More Chinese will be blacklisted in the future.

高二英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
A new officer with the Huntington Park Police patrols (巡逻) local parks 24 hours a day seven days a week.He doesn't need rest,coffee breaks,a salary or medical insurance,and that is because it is a Robocop.
The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings.Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees,it also has a distress button which is located here,so if somebody is to need assistance or they want to contact the communication center,they can do it by way of that distress button.There are people that are monitoring on the other end.
This newest police employee is self-charging.It's easy to program it and make changes to the software if necessary.Its maintenance (维护) costs are roughly 75 thousand dollars a year.It travels the entire park.It is a programmed path,but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.
The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen cars.It can also help locate a lost iPhone because it is able to determine a smartphone's MAC address.The police can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it out.
The Robocop can't replace its human handlers.The whole goal is to give police more time to do things machines can't do.The police have been having some concerns about safety of the parks and want an extra set of eyes that will help patrol a 24/7.Robocop's creators believe this model known as K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking lots,parks and airports.So far,it seems to be working out just fine.
1.What is the distress button used to do?
A.Locate the Robocop. B.Serve as an alarm device.
C.Communicate with visitors. D.Monitor the neighbourhood.
2.Which of the following can best describe the Robocop?
A.Helpful but dangerous. B.Intelligent but inexpensive.

C.To prevent accidents. D.To find lost cars.
4.What can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph?
A.It has limitation in use. B.It has been widely used.
C.Its creators need more support. D.Its security is still under test.
