By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy, "We don’t have a budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street. "We just use our credit cards."
The US has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. Frist, there was tile World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement(廉价商品部). Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30% to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. That’s up from $ 74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just from bargains. There remains all undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge (无节制) has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $ 130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four night and $ 298.
From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize ______.
选项
A、the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits
B、the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits
C、tourism can make great contributions to its economy
D、visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad
答案
C
解析
通读完全文后,我们可以得知;大批外国游客涌入美国,并给美国政府带来了大笔收入。另外,文章第五段强调美国终于开始重视外国游客大量涌入给美国经济带来的巨大贡献。综合以上两点,我们可以得知选项C正是作者的观点和结论。故本题的正确答案是C。
