【参考答案】
31.【答案】B。【译文】从巴西生物学家所说的话，我们得知像她这样的游客完全不介意他们花多少钱。【试题分析】细节推理型，通过对某一段话的理解，并进行总结和概括。【详细解答】原文第二段提到现在涌入的是富人(Thesearethewealthy),所以当她说"Wedonthaveabudget,wejustuseourcreditcards"是指花钱不用做预算，想买就用信用卡，其暗含的意思就是选项B所表达的信息。故本题的正确答案是B。
32.【答案】A。【译文】1994年特别突出的原因是在那一年到美国的游客数目非常大。【试题分析】细节推理型，通过对某一段话的理解，并进行总结和概括。【详细解答】原文第三段说明美国早已成为旅游胜地，1994年不同于往年，其原因是世界杯吸引了大批游客，美元下跌使在美国购物便宜到了极点，这更吸引了大量的游客。而这一观点恰好与选项A相一致。这句话中的动词saw的意思是"目睹了"之意。故本题的正确答案是A。
