Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad, even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.
The research by the European think-tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure.
The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries’ economies and the travel industry.
In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don’t realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don’t contain any health information.
The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the "Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Office’s advice to customers.
But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (细查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.
Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little knowledge of______
选项
A、the health problems on the trip
B、the diseases they have developed
C、the policy of the destination country
D、the advice given by the local hospital
答案
A
解析
本题为细节题。解题的关键在于文章的第一句话: “Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad,”。这里的“are not aware of”与题干中的“have little knowledge of”所表达的意思一样,因为little前面不加冠词时表示否定意义。由此可知选项A.the health problems on the trip是正确答案。虽然游客不了解出国旅行途中会面临的健康问题,但不等于游客不了解自己已经患上的疾病,故选项B.the diseases they have developed不正确;选项C和选项D中所表述的内容涉及到目的地国家的情况,文章中没有提到。
