8.Where should an adventurous tourist go?After you've done sightseeing in London,shopping in New York,enjoyed the local food in Paris,and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival,where else can you go?What attractive tourist destination awaits you?
Well,Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime!It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth.Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part.About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season,but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all,causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment.Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places,the accessible coastline,which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled,tourism can be good for Antarctica.It has no native population and it needs advocates.Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation.And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming,which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix,guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land,there's no eating or smoking.Rocks,bone fragments-nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.
Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

解答 28-31 CBDA
28 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures."可知,目前一些研究站的科學(xué)家和企鵝等其他動物生存在南極洲.故選C.
29 B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第五段中的"Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation.And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming,which has led to the melting of glaciers."可知,前往南極洲的游客將意識到冰川融化導(dǎo)致的全球溫室效應(yīng).因此將積極支持和贊助南極洲的保護(hù).故選B.
30 D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第六,七兩段中的"tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.And once on land,there's no eating or smoking.Rocks,bone fragments-nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind."可知,游客一踏入南極洲,鞋子要消毒,不準(zhǔn)吃東西和吸煙,不能拿走石塊,骨片或不能留下什么等.這些措施都是為了保護(hù)南極洲的特有環(huán)境.故選D.
31 A 態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題.縱觀全文及其重點(diǎn)用詞"attractive tourist destination…the holiday of a lifetime…"以及最后一段提出的保護(hù)南極洲是為后代著想的積極態(tài)度.故選A.
點(diǎn)評 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.
