    参考答案：

    1、【参考答案】A

    ［考点］事实细节题

    【精析】A根据文章第一句“Mostholidaymakersarenotawareofthehealthriskstheyfaceabroad…”可知，大部分度假者都没有意识到出国旅行时可能面临的健康风险。故选A

    2、【参考答案】B

    ［考点］事实细节题

    【精析】B根据第三段第二句“Thegrowingintensityandcomplexityoftravelpatternsmeanscontrollinghealthproblemsisbecomingevenmoredifficult.”可知，当今旅行方式的复杂化使对健康问题的管理变得更加困难。故选B。

    3、【参考答案】D

    ［考点］事实细节题

    【精析】D根据第四段第三句“Worldwidestudieshaveshownthathealthofficersoftengiveinadequatetravelhealthadvicethatisnotuptodate…”可知，世界范围内的研究显示，卫生人员往往提供一些已经过时的、不恰当的健康建议。故选D。

    4、【参考答案】B

    ［考点］词语理解题

    【精析】B结合上下文可推知，这里是指“禽流感的暴发（outbreaksofbirdflu）”对国家的经济和旅游业有着巨大的影响，所以impact与influence意思相近，意为“影响”。affection：喜爱，感情；contribution：贡献；significance：意义，重要性。故选B。

    5、【参考答案】A

    ［考点］主旨大意题

    【精析】A通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了在旅行中旅客们可能遇到的健康威胁，分析原因并给出建议，所以A项符合题意。
