Question

       One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but. good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.

        However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.

       Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests , full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of  precious trees and plants.

       Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.

       Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support form tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.

       The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.

71.  What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?

       A. The Pacific island is a paradise.                        B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.

       C. The advertisement is not convincing.                 D. The advertisement is not impressive

       A. They are happy to work their own lands.           

       B. They have to please the tourists for a living.

       C. They have to struggle for their independence. 

       D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.

Answer 1

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文，題材是旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展狀況。隨著旅游業(yè)的需求的快速增長，旅游業(yè)的開發(fā)也隨著加速發(fā)展，但過度的開發(fā)又會對環(huán)境和人們的生活以及旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展帶來負面的影響；隨著人們對旅游業(yè)的認識的提高，應注意旅游業(yè)和環(huán)境保護及經(jīng)濟的協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展，如此，旅游業(yè)才有美好的前途。

段落	關鍵詞 句	大意推測
第二段（para.1）	ever-growing, demands, bring nothing but good, a rosy picture, long-term future, Every month sees, advertised	人們對于旅游業(yè)的前景很是看好，旅游開發(fā)得以快速發(fā)展。
第二段（para.2--4）	this growth ,destroy, a rush, lose their appeal , little experience, suffer from, Nepal , In fact, untouched paradise , consequent exploitation, the environment,  makes way for, wasn't happier	旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展規(guī)模和速度給旅游業(yè)帶來了些不利的影響，不僅對環(huán)境造成了影響，還影響了人們的生活， 旅游業(yè)發(fā)展的大規(guī)模和快速度帶來的弊端和由此而帶來的問題 人和環(huán)境在此發(fā)展過程中都到了不同程度的影響
第二段（para.5--6）	Thankfully, waking up, responsibilities, protection, hand in hand, respect, The way, its fate, preserve, destroyed	對于旅游業(yè)的開發(fā)要做到和環(huán)境保護及經(jīng)濟生活的協(xié)調(diào)，旅游開發(fā)處理的好與壞將會對旅游公司、旅游業(yè)的命運甚至該國的的命運有著重要影響。

【解析】

71 C。判斷推理題。難度: 中。大家都期待旅游業(yè)“would bring nothing but good”,而且“a rosy picture”也被繪制出來，在此背景下，“every month”都有 “another rock-bound Pacific island ”被宣稱為“the last paradise(天堂)”，只是為了說明廣告的信服力令人懷疑，故而A選項正確。

72 D。判斷推理題。難度: 中。第三段第一句指出“Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most.”而接下來便以Nepal為例來證實，尼泊爾由于沒有旅游開發(fā)方面的經(jīng)驗，導致了“the consequent exploitation of  precious trees and plants”，故而D為正確。

too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land得出過多的旅游者使尼泊爾的自然環(huán)境受到影響。

73 B。判斷推理題。難度: 難。旅游業(yè)的迅速發(fā)展不僅給環(huán)境帶來損壞，farmers的生活方式發(fā)生了改變，“Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited.”曾經(jīng)他們可以在農(nóng)田里靠自己的勞作為生，而今，他們失去了土地，只有靠取悅游客“exploit his smile”來換取收入謀生，因此選項B為正確答案。

【干擾項排除】現(xiàn)如今，土地“makes way for”旅游開發(fā)，農(nóng)民失去了土地，所以答案A錯誤；農(nóng)民“ no longer his own master”這里指的是沒有了土地，不是被統(tǒng)治下爭取獨立，所以B也錯誤；曾經(jīng)的農(nóng)民現(xiàn)在成了雇工“now the servant”，毫不為奇他們“wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.”可見他們并不滿意作為雇工的生活，故而選項D錯誤。

74 D。細節(jié)理解題。難度: 中。最后一段第一句 “The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate ”，未來十年旅游業(yè)的管理方式將決定旅游業(yè)的未來命運，此處涉及詞語轉(zhuǎn)換“handle”轉(zhuǎn)化為“manage”，故而答案為D。

【解題思路】我們在做題中經(jīng)常會出現(xiàn)，有的題好像不好下手，不能直接獲得重要信息，此題中，有個handle,我們可以利用詞語轉(zhuǎn)化，剛好對應選項D中的management,由此，解題便出現(xiàn)了轉(zhuǎn)機，答案也就顯現(xiàn)了。

75 C。判斷推理題。難度: 中。作者從旅游業(yè)發(fā)展帶來的益處以及旅游業(yè)發(fā)展過程中出現(xiàn)的問題以及擔憂，到最后指出旅游業(yè)是否能夠有光明的未來，取決于對旅游業(yè)的管理，縱觀全文，可以得知作者客觀陳述了對旅游業(yè)的看法，故得出C。

【難句學習】

Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.

翻譯：每個月總有新的旅店在某個地方被建；每個月也總有另一個太平洋島礁被宣稱為地球上最后的天堂。

分析：see意思為目睹;經(jīng)歷;見證，例如：Yesterday saw the resignation of the acting Interior Minister.昨天代理內(nèi)政部長辭職了。

Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers.

翻譯：值得慶幸的是，旅游業(yè)已開始承擔起它對那些接待游客的國家應有的責任。

分析：此句雖然簡單，但卻是個還有兩個定義從句的復合句，第一個定義從句是it has修飾the responsibilities，第二個從句是that receive its customers修飾countries,還有一點要指出的就是the responsibilities towards sth，對sth的責任。
