Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1． Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2．
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3． Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights
● 4． Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege（荣幸）. Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5． You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.
【答案】1．B；2．C；3．E；4．A；5．G
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文， 本文讨论了过度旅游（overtourism）的现实问题，并提出了几个负责任旅行的建议。 建议游客明智选择目的地，避开高峰时段，探索未过度开发地区，以减轻对目的地的压力，提升旅游体验。
A. 在非高峰时间访问。
B. 那么，我们应该停止旅行吗？
C. 旅行是为了你自己，不是为了别人。
D. 那么过度旅游可以避免吗？
E. 你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方。
F. 你会发现自己实际上是孤独的，或者接近孤独。

【点评】七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符合来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出其他选项表达完全同意思的句子，这样的话就可以直接将该选项排除。
1．根据空格后的"Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world当然不是。在当今世界，失去旅游所提供的东西是不可接受的"，可知空格处应是提到了停止旅行，这与选项B"So, should we stop traveling 那么，我们应该停止旅行吗"意思相符，故选B。
2．空格前的"Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you只有当一个地方的风景、文化或食物深深吸引着你的时候才去"与选项C" Travel for you and no one else旅行是为了你自己，不是为了别人 "意思连贯，故选C。
3．空格前句"That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from这意味着你有很多不太受欢迎的选择"中的"less-visited options不太受欢迎的选择"与选项E"You can still find relatively undiscovered places你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方"中的"relatively undiscovered places相对未被发现的地方"构成词义复现，故选E。
4．段落小标题位置。标题下段落第一句话"Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour尽量减少影响，最大化体验，避开主要节假日或高峰时间"中的"by skipping major holidays or rush hour避开主要节假日或高峰时间"与选项A" Visit during off-peak times在非高峰时间访问"中的off-peak times意思相同，故选A。
5．空格前句"Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place你要尽自己的一份力量来保护这个地方的特色"中的"preserve what makes a destination special要保护这个地方的特色"与选项G"Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting考虑回馈你所访问的社区"中的"giving back to the communities回馈社区"意思相同，且上下文意思连贯，故选G。

【答案】6．to catch；7．treasures；8．what；9．were；10．be done；11．its；12．for；13．completion；14．largest；15．which
【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国的国家公园因其巨大和多样性而特别。它们的起源可以追溯到1870年，四位探险家看到怀俄明州西北部的美景后，决定将其保护起来作为国家公园。两年后，黄石公园成为美国第一个国家公园。后来，阿拉斯加的兰格尔-圣伊莱亚斯公园成为了面积最大的国家公园。
【点评】考查语法填空。本题考点涉及非谓语动词、名词、宾语从句、谓语动词、被动语态、代词、介词、形容词最高级和定语从句等知识点的考查。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
6．句意：尽管在任何层面上都存在着各种规模和类型的公园，但特别是国家公园，由于其规模大、种类多，往往会引起我们的注意。tend to do sth是固定短语，意"趋向于做某事"，故填to catch。
7．句意：它们是美国传统的瑰宝。所给词treasure是可数名词，在句中表示"国家公园是美国传统的瑰宝"，所以应使用复数形式，故填treasures。
8．句意：1870年9月中旬，在一个凉爽、满天繁星的夜晚，四个男人在火洞河边的营火前放松，这里现在是怀俄明州的西北部。介词in后的宾语从句中缺少主语，应使用连接代词；根据句意，宾语从句中的主语指物，故填what。
9．句意：他们是一个由15人组成的探险队的一部分，他们花了近五个星期的时间来见证那里的自然美景。根据句意，可知句子描述的是发生在过去的事情，所以应使用一般过去时态；they是复数的主语，故填were。
10．句意：对于这样一个美丽的地方，我们应该做些什么呢？情态动词should后应使用动词原形；句子主语what与谓语动词do构成被动关系，应使用被动语态。故填be done。
11．句意：这个地区拥有独特而令人惊叹的自然美景，必须作为国家公园加以保护，让全国人民都能享受。根据常见结构"形容词性物主代词+形容词+名词"，可知空格处应使用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
12．句意：这个地区拥有独特而令人惊叹的自然美景，必须作为国家公园加以保护，让全国人民都能享受。be preserved for是固定短语，意"为……保留"，在句中意"为全国人民保留"，故填for。
13．句意：他们都同意并发誓(承诺)在他们的旅程结束时推广这个想法。根据常见结构"冠词+名词"，可知空格处应使用名词；complete的名词形式completion是不可数的，故填completion。
14．句意：黄石公园是美国最大的国家公园，占地220万英亩，直到1978年阿拉斯加南部的弗兰格尔-圣伊莱亚斯成为国家纪念碑，1980年以1230万英亩的面积获得国家公园的荣誉。根据后半句话"Wrangell- Saint Elias in southern Alaska, 10 became a national monument in 1978, took the honors as a national park in 1980 with 12.3 million acres"，可知在Wrangell- Saint Elias之前，黄石公园是最大的国家公园，故填largest。
15．句意：黄石公园是美国最大的国家公园，占地220万英亩，直到1978年阿拉斯加南部的弗兰格尔-圣伊莱亚斯成为国家纪念碑，1980年以1230万英亩的面积获得国家公园的荣誉。根据句子结构，可知此处属于非限制性定语从句；非限制性定语从句缺少主语，应使用关系代词；先行词Wrangell- Saint Elias指物，故填which。

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
"We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
4．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A．Pocket parks are now popular.
B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C．Many cities are overpopulated.
D．People enjoy living close to nature.
5．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A．To compare different types of park-goers.
B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C．To analyze the main features of the park.
D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
6．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5
A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C．The same nature experience takes different forms.
D．The nature language enhances work performance.
7．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A．Language study. B．Environmental conservation.
C．Public education. D．Intercultural communication.
【答案】4．B
5．D
6．C
7．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了野生自然对人类很重要研究人员呼吁保护城市中的野生自然。
【点评】考查阅读理解。涉及推理判断题，细节理解题。解答推理判断题要根据原文中的信息与选项信息结合起来进行正确推断，得出答案；解答细节理解题要完全符合原文，不能主观臆断。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.随着城市的飞速发展，生活在城市地区的人们越来越难以接近大自然。 可知选项 Wild nature is hard to find in cities.符合题意，故答案为B。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段 The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."然后，研究人员检查了这些提交的信息，将体验分成不同的类别。例如，一个参与者的“我们坐在沙滩上听了一会儿海浪”的经历被分配到“坐在沙滩上”和“听海浪”的类别。 可知选项 To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.符合题意，故答案为D。
6．推理判断题。根据第五段内容Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break. 命名每一种自然体验创造了一种可用的语言，这有助于人们认识并参与到对他们来说最满意和最有意义的活动中。例如，沿着水边散步的经历可能会让一个年轻的专业人士在周末去公园徒步旅行时感到满意。在工作日回到市中心，他们可以在午休时沿着喷泉散步，享受一种更居家的互动方式。可知自然体验可以呈现不同的形式。选项The same nature experience takes different forms.符合题意，故答案为C。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study. ”要做到这一点，我们还需要保护自然，这样我们才能与它互动，”该研究的资深作者彼得·卡恩说。可知选项 Environmental conservation.符合题意，故答案为B。

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
"We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
4．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A．Pocket parks are now popular.
B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C．Many cities are overpopulated.
D．People enjoy living close to nature.
5．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A．To compare different types of park-goers.
B．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C．To analyze the main features of the park.
D．To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
6．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5
A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C．The same nature experience takes different forms.
D．The nature language enhances work performance.
7．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A．Language study. B．Environmental conservation.
C．Public education. D．Intercultural communication.
