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. 36.________ 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. 37.________
·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. 38.________ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser known sights
·39.________ 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. 40.________ 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.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了缓解过度旅游的一些具体的方法:谨慎选择、有创造性、避开高峰期等。
36.B 解析:根据上文“but the rapid growth...in certain regions and destinations”可知,旅游快速增长导致某些地区和目的地的过度旅游;根据下文“Certainly not...be unacceptable in today's world.”可知,在当今世界,失去旅行提供的东西是无法接受的。由此可推知,空处应讨论是否停止旅游。B项符合语境。
37.C 解析:根据上文“Choose mindfully.”及“With so many online posts...deeply draws you.”可推知,只有当目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你时才去。空处在结尾处,应紧扣本段标题和空前内容,表明选择旅行应是为自己而不是为别人。C项符合语境。
38.E 解析:根据上文“Get creative.”及“Though overtourism is described...less visited options to choose from.”可知,本段鼓励游客要有创意,还有很多鲜为人知的目的地可以选择。E项承上启下,涉及游客能选择的其他地方,符合语境。
39.A 解析:空处为本段的主旨句。根据本段中的“skipping major holidays or rush hour”及“boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower”可知,本段建议避开重大假期或高峰时间旅行,即“非高峰时间去旅游”,A项精准概括段落大意,符合语境。
40.G 解析:根据上下文内容可知,空处应涉及如何保护旅游地的特色。G项承上启下,符合语境。

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common There's one answer:36.________.
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.37.________. “Showing thankfulness can foster self control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 38.________. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
39.________
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “40.________.” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A.Find your causes
B.Start with small tasks
C.Accept the uncomfortable
D.All this adds up to a state of hurry
E.It can also help us practice more patience

40.F 解析:根据上文内容可知,本段主要介绍了“接受不舒服”,因此空处应介绍在不舒服的情况下,自己可以给自己的心理暗示。F项引出下文,符合语境。
