答案与题解：

1.C本段第二句和第三句话都以人称代词they作主语,但所指不明。在大多数情况下,其指 代对象应在同一段落的前文中找。C与这两个句子在结构和意思上都是平行的,时态也一 致,而且用travel operators这个名词去替代这两个句子中的they都讲得通。

2.B这一句继续讲旅游经纪人的工作,它同本段前三句话在时态、结构和意思上一致或平行。

3.F指示词this/that及其复数形式在英语中是重要的衔接手段,多数情况下this指上文刚刚 提到的事情或说过的话。本段第一句话说旅游顾问召开研讨会使代理人熟悉新业务和销售 技巧。承接这句话,F说“通过这种方式,代理人学会了怎样对旅行自的地加以解释以及向 游客建议各种不同的旅行方式及组合方式,如飞机、船、火车、公共汽车、汽车出租,甚至汽车 的购买”。“这种方式”就是指上一句话中的召开研讨会,因而F是最合适的选项。

4.E本段第一句话说房地产公司和旅行社密切合作,达成了最为适当的协议。这种协议兼顾 了顾客的方便和他们自己的财政方面的安排。E实际上进一步阐述了二者之间相互依赖的 紧密关系。

5.A写文章讲究句子和段落之间的衔接。第四段讲到了房地产公司和旅行社之间相互依赖 的合作关系,A说“旅行社和运输公司之间也存在着同等程度的信任”,像same,different（ly）,similar（ly）,otherwise这样的词语有很强的衔接力,属于指称衔接（reference）中的比 较衔接。下一句话详细解释旅行社和运输公司之间的关系,进一步印证了应该选A.
