【题干】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.
1. 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
2. The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________.
A. its natural resources are untouched.
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education.
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists.
3. What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4
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.
4. Which of the following determines the future of tourism
A. The number of tourists
B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products.
D. The management of tourism
5. The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ________.
A. optimistic
B. doubtful
C. objective
D. negative
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．C
【解析】1．推理判断题。第一段中作者描述：每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆，每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告：这儿是世上最后一处天堂。由作者的语气我们可以推断出这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了，故选C项。
2．推理判断题。第三段作者引用了尼泊尔发展旅游业为例，其初衷是为当地的教育和卫生事业提供资金，但是很快这儿的自然环境就受到了旅游业的影响。现在这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦，故选D项。
3．推理判断题。根据第四段中的Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.“过去是他的脊背在承受痛苦，现在是人们开发利用他的微笑”推断出现在他们为了谋生不得不用自己的微笑来取悦游客，故选B项。
4．推理判断题。倒数第二段第二句说，野生生物的保护，国家公园的创建要和旅游业的发展同时进行，又根据倒数第一段第一句，未来十年，如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。由此可推断出D项符合题意。
5．观点态度题。综观全文可知作者的态度是客观的。A：乐观的；B：怀疑的；C：客观的；D：消极的。故选C项。

【范文】
Actions Speak Louder than Words
People celebrate Earth Day differently. ①In Picture 1, a man is trying to put up a banner on a lonely tree surrounded by stumps, but in vain, while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting trees.
The message conveyed here is clear: "Actions speak louder than words." Our earth is suffering severe damage. Should we just pay lip-service or take practical measures to protect it The answer is definitely the latter. ②Immediate actions should be taken, like stopping cutting down trees, to the better environment.
, Actions are important in other fields, too. Instead of shouting empty slogans, ③it is more meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need. We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules, ④stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams. ⑤Only when we match our words with actions can we make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplish.
【解析】
①对画面进行描述时精准恰当，点明寓意。
②此句较长，实为简单句，核心短语为take actions to do sth.采取措施做某事。其中like短语为插入语，运用得较为灵活。
③此句中，it是形式主语，后面的不定式短语为真正的主语。句式灵活，增添了文章的色彩。
④句中rather than引导并列结构，意为“而不是”，使语言紧凑而且有节奏感。
⑤only引导的句子用了倒装结构，使文章句式多变，更加流畅。

【范文】
In the picture, we can see a boy in worn clothes, sitting at a shabby wooden table with a pile of books on it. A weak ray of light came in through a small hole in the wall and he was absorbed in his reading.
This is a well-known story from an ancient Chinese idiom. The boy, being poor, couldn't afford even a candle, so he bored a hole in the wall to "steal" light from his neighbor's house to read at night. The moral of the story is: spare no effort to acquire knowledge and never get discouraged easily no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Of course, things are totally different today. It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts. Hard work pays off. We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get
prepared for the future.
