①解析:分析下文,本段介绍人们旅行的目的。第二段第一句话为承上启下的一句,“这并不是说,没有人为了好玩而旅游”提示我们,本空应该选择B项。
②解析:上一句提到Rome,本句继续提与罗马、希腊有关的事情,E项符合语境。
③解析:此处用不同的年份里不同的数字说明了旅游业的发展,F项符合语境。

四、答案:① would become② to look③ out④ physical⑤ With ⑥ personalities⑦ standing⑧ suggests⑨ be connected⑩ whether
解析:①考查动词时态。根据语境特别是后面的would even lose their lives可知,此处应该用过去将来时。
②考查非谓语动词。force sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“迫使某人做某事”。
③考查固定搭配。figure out是固定搭配,意为“弄清楚”。
④考查形容词。表示身体和精神上的坚韧,用形容词作定语,修饰名词toughness。
⑤考查介词。此处需用介词with,with复合结构作伴随状语。
⑥考查名词。根据句意可知此处表示“个性”,用personality的复数形式。

⑧考查动词时态。根据语境可知,表示一种事实,用一般现在时态。
⑨考查动词语态。risks与动词connect之间是被动关系,故用be connected表被动。
