第一题选A，有一半的度假者去了pure aquariums ，但只有少于四分之一的度假者去了有水族馆的zoo。

    去pure aquariums 是去zoo的两倍，所以去过pure aquariums 占总人数的比例比去zoo多一倍。

15, B

16, A

They are the answers, but I feel doubtful

bingtanghulu

i think the answers are correct.

BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING:

for question 15,

the question is why vacationers are likely to visit pure aquarium more.

option A, the relationship between local visitors and vacationers is not indicated in the text.

option B, not every city has pure aquarium, but nearly all cities have a zoo, thus people tend to visit pure aquarium rather than zoo

option C,the newly constructed pure aquarium is not related to the question

option D,how many times people visit pure aquarium is also irrelevant

option E, in the text, it does not mention the size of pure aquarium and the aquarium in the zoo of the same city.

so i chose B,

for question 16, i choose A

by looking at the 5 options given,

option A is to encourage saving

option B is to encourage borrowing

option C is to encourage borrowing

option D is to discourage saving

option E is to discourage saving

the question asked is: Country G does not always favor borrowing over saving,

because if country G favor borrowing over saving, it will not (encourage saving or discourage borrowing)

so, only option A suits the answer here.

correct me if i am wrong.
