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.
The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because______.
选项
A、individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the tourists
B、the way people travel today has become more complex
C、there is lack of international cooperation
D、it is often infectious in nature
答案
B
解析
本题为细节题。解题的关键是第三段第二句话: “The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling.health problems is becoming even more difficult.”这句话说明“控制健康方面的问题越来越难”主要有两个原因,原因之一是选项B.the way people travel today has become more complex,该选项与文章中“complexity of travel patterns”意思一致。选项A.individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the tourists在原文中并没有提到;选项C和选项D中所给出的原因与常识知识相关,但是在原文中都没有提到。
