(答案→)D
解析：
【小题1】D 短文一开始就讲到“Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems．”即：如果没有适当的计划，旅游业可能会带来各种问题。接下来的第二、三段从正反两方面叙述了适当计划的好处。故选项D为最佳答案。
【小题2】A 根据短文中的“For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country．If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants bee annoyed and unhappy．”意为：例如，太多的游客会挤满那个国家的inhabitants喜欢的公共场所。如果游客带来太多的人流车辆的话，inhabitants就很厌烦和不高兴。可见划线的inhabitants应该是指本国本土的居民。故选项A正确。
【小题3】B 短文提到了旅游业过于兴旺会带来的后果中提到了A、C、D三项，但没有提到会改变游客的风俗习惯。故选B.
【小题4】B 从短文的内容可知，旅游业会使当地人获得利益。故选项B正确。
【小题5】D 短文提到了旅游业的很多好处，其中之一就是advance the wealth and happiness.可见选项D为最佳答案。
