World Heritage Sites such as Great Barrier Reef and Kathmandu could be taken off the tourist map by 2020 due to the effects of climate change and too many visitors,a thinktank said on Friday.
In a report prepared for the UK insurance company Churchill,the Centre for Future Studies(CFS) listed 10 popular destinations that could be either permanently closed or have a visitor cap within 15 years.
“I'm reasonably confident we're going to see an increasing climate degradation(恶化) that is going to influence various places in the world with increasing severity(严重),” said CFS Director Frank Shaw.“Floods,storms,droughts,increasing and irregular temperatures will combine to bring about changes in destination choice for tourists.”
Florida's Everglades in the United States,Athens in Greece,Croatia's Dalmatian coastline,Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in Italy as well as the Maldives are some of the other destinations at risk highlighted by the report.
The study drew on evidence provided by scientists,governments,as well as tourism and environmental organisations from around the world.
Tourism activity on the Great Barrier Reef,situated off Queensland state in Australia's northeast, injects an estimated $3.8 billion into the local economy each year.
“There is a conflict between environmental concerns and commercial interests,” added Shaw.“For some countries tourism represents a significant part of their gross domestic product.But there is evidence that Australia and many other governments are considering what can be done to protect national assets.”
1.The reasons why some World Heritage Sites could be taken off the tourist map include all of the following EXCEPT .
A.there are too many tourists visiting the sites
B.the governments are not considering the sites
C.floods,storms and droughts frequently happen there
D.there is often a sudden change in temperature there
2.The underlined word “injects” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.introduces B.costs
C.reduces D.divides
3.Which of the following cannot provide evidence about the climate degradation?
A.Scientists and officials.
B.Tourism organisations.
C.Environmental organisations.
D.Insurance companies.
4.According to the passage,we can infer that .
A.some heritage sites will no longer be able to be seen in the future
B.the listed destinations are all off the ocean coast
C.the Great Barrier Reef will not be closed by 2020
D.environmental concerns and commercial interests have caused problems
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了一些世界遗址可能从旅游地图上被除名,具体介绍了相关原因等信息。
1.B 细节理解题。从第一段中“due to the effects of climate change and too many visitors”可知,天气变化的影响和游客过多是其中的两个因素,根据第三段最后一句可知一些自然灾害的频繁发生和不正常的气温变化也会导致旅游目的地的变化,由此可知A、C、D三项符合文意,故选B。
2.A 词义猜测题。大堡礁的旅游业估计每年要为当地经济注入38亿美元。由此可知,inject意为“引入”(introduce)。故选A。
3.D 细节理解题。从文中第五段“The study drew on evidence provided by scientists,governments,as well as tourism and environmental organisations from around the world.”中看出没有提及D项,其他的机构、团体或者群体都可以为气候的恶化提供证据。故选D。
4.A 推理判断题。B项过于绝对;C项所述和原文不符;D项断章取义。由此可知一些遗址在未来有可能会消失,我们也就看不到了。故选A。

The Chinese government has sped up the protection of the cultural relics in Tibet,spending more than 300 million yuan in 2006 for the protection of some valuable sites,an official said in Beijing Thursday.
The money was used to repair some famous Tibetan relic sites such as the Potala Palace,Norbu Lingka and Sakya Monastery,said Shan Jixiang,director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
It is reported that there are around 2,000 cultural relic sites in Tibet,among which 35 are under statelevel protection,and 216 of them under various levels of government protection.
“Although the money given to the protection has been increased,cultural relics protection in Tibet meets great challenges posed by growing numbers of tourists to Tibet,” Shan said.
“It is necessary to protect the important cultural heritage in Tibet,considering the tourists flood in Tibet through the Qinghai Tibetan railway,” Shan said.
He suggested that the central government continue to increase investment for cultural relics protection and infrastructure(基础设施) construction in Tibet.Particularly a special institution with a special funding is needed for the protection of the top ten items of Tibetan cultural heritage.
“An office should be set up to work out practical protection plans for the top ten Tibetan cultural heritage items,” said Shan.
Among them,the Zhaibung Monastery and Panchen Lama's residence in Xigaze represent the development of Tibet.Jokhang temple,Tibetan Buddhism's site,shows that Tibet is an inseparable part of China.Naining Temple saw the historical moment when all nationalities of Tibet fought against foreign invasion(入侵),and Lhagyari Palace showed the development of Tibetan local political power.
5.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Cultural Relics in Tibet Are Well Protected
B.Cultural Relics Attract Visitors
C.Tibet—an Important Destination for Visitors
D.Protection and Development
6.It can be learned that .
A.not all cultural relic sites have been repaired
B.Shan Jixiang likes travelling in Tibet
C.the money given to cultural relics in Tibet is more than enough

7.What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Reduced. B.Caused.
C.Accepted. D.Replaced.
8.Which of the following is connected with the development of Tibet?
A.The Potala Palace. B.Lhagyari Palace.
C.Naining Temple. D.Panchen Lama's residence.
[语篇解读] 文章主要介绍了中国政府加速了对西藏文化古迹的保护,以及与之有关的事情。
5.A 标题归纳题。文章首段说中国政府加速了对西藏文化古迹的保护,之后阐述了与之有关的事情,故答案为A。
6.A 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“The money was used to repair some famous Tibetan relic sites such as the Potala Palace,Norbu Lingka and Sakya Monastery...”可知,并非所有的文化古迹都得到了修缮,故答案为A。
7.B 词义猜测题。根据该词所在的语境,尤其是画线词后面的“by growing numbers of tourists to Tibet”可判断,西藏文物古迹所面临的挑战是由当地不断增长的游客数量造成的,故选B。
8.D 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中的“...the Zhaibung Monastery and Panchen Lama's residence in Xigaze represent the development of Tibet.”可知答案为D。
