One might expect that the evergrowing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holidaymakers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the longterm future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month, another rockbound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise 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 seaside holidays, overcrowded 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 holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country 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 onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational 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 actually obtain financial support from 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 decade 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 worldwide tourism can preserve the market for them. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.

Dear John,
I'm excited to tell you that after the epidemic my family are planning to travel in London, so we can get together soon.
England is a country appealing to many tourists every year and it is also a dreamland for me. It is known to us all that England has a long history and English culture is abundant and interesting. Could you tell me more about it? In addition, when it comes to the English customs, I think the customs of a country always symbolize the spirit of it, so I also want to learn more about them. Finally, if it is convenient for you, please recommend some places of interest in England for us.
Looking forward to your reply!

You should see the photo. I'm sitting in the red dirt, wearing an ugly purple Tshirt. My hair is wet with sweat. Flies buzz around my head. I'm on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.
It was an odd choice for a holiday. I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I like being alone and quiet, not a bus load of kids. I like freshly washed sheets, not drylooking blankets.
But here's the thing about that photo: I am smiling!
The trip sounded good when I signed up. Guides would take us into the heart of the place, and I would see a new part of Australia, learn about local culture and bond with my youngest daughter. I would also bond with 40 strangers.
In Darwin, we got onto a bus. The kids were loud and I hated making small talk. But later, when I looked out at the vast, empty land, I was surprised at and moved by its beauty. At a national park, we enjoyed a natural swimming hole. Kids and parents had a great time. Then we got to the outback. The cabin (小屋) I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of geckos and crickets, but too dark to see them. On our last night, a water pipe broke. We awoke to a mess. Usually, I would have complained and asked for a refund, but it just seemed normal to be dirty. It didn't matter. Indeed, it was impossible to stay clean. We were hiking in the red dirt with temperatures of 35 degree. Sill, I felt a kind of energy I hadn't experienced in years.
I love that photo of me in the dirt. I look messy, but also happy. Sometimes, it's another way of traveling. There is beautiful scenery. There is dirt. There is always someone to talk to, someone to laugh with.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take__the__plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。71岁的Ginni Bazlinton(金尼·贝兹灵顿)从小热爱旅行,渴望探险。她退休并在孩子们独立后开始周游世界,在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。

C.Bring back lost memories.
D.Stick to a promise.
答案:A 词义猜测题。画线部分前文提到在她的职业舞蹈演员生涯中,她曾在英国巡演,但一直渴望进一步探索。画线部分所在句表示“当她退休并且她的儿子们最终独立生活后,她决定尝试有挑战性的事情”。由此可推知,画线部分take the plunge表示“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。

A.Lovely penguins. B.Beautiful scenery.
C.A discount fare. D.A friend's invitation.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile ... islands off Tierra del Fuego(正是在智利,她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知,是一张折扣票让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。
7.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A.It could be a home for her.
B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved.
D.It needs to be fully introduced.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization ... home to Ginni.(意识到这是一块宝贵的土地,应该受到人类的尊重,这是Ginni最深刻的感受之一。)”可知,旅行结束后,Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。

Once the New York Times launched a debate: Where Would Hemingway Go in Europe? This referred to Ernest Hemingway, the American journalist and writer, who described his life in European cities like Paris in many of his works. So which city is the new symbol of a dynamic Europe where Hemingway would settle? Several writers and journalists addressed the question.
Joseph described London as a “global city”—though no longer capital of an empire, London drew the best and brightest from all over the world. Fyodor said that Bruges in Belgium symbolized the new Europe. He described Europe as a beautiful old town, a Flemish Venice, with quiet canals, old cathedrals and Renaissance masterpieces.
Berlin was the choice of Gauti, saying although Paris, London, Rome and Vienna remained a high position in our minds, they were like interesting museums with splendid old buildings and statues showing their former greatness and past achievements. But their potential seemed to have gone. He suggested that this potential may be linked to political power. People of talent and influence were very often attracted to power, since it was the greatest source of funds and acknowledgement. There was also the potential of the unknown and yettobe discovered, which attracted passionate minds. In his opinion, the European city to offer this now is Berlin.
Personally, I don't feel qualified to decide where Papa Hemingway would hang__his__hat. These days London and Paris are too expensive for struggling writers. Bruges is pretty, but who wants to live in the Middle Ages? Brussels is clean and attractive, but full of boring Eurobureaucrats. Rome's terrible traffic would drive Hem mad. Amsterdam might be OK. But I would guess Papa would vote for Pamplona in Spain. He loved bullfighting and was pictured at the annual festival of the running of bulls in Pamplona.
篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。《纽约时报》曾发起了一场辩论:海明威会去欧洲哪里?一些作家和记者就这个问题给出了他们的回答以及理由。
9.Why was the debate “Where Would Hemingway Go in Europe” launched?
A.To find exactly where Ernest Hemingway went.
B.To discuss which is the most dynamic city in Europe.
C.To attract famous writers and journalists to Europe.
D.To tighten the connection among European cities.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知,“海明威会去欧洲哪里”引发了哪个是欧洲最具活力的城市的讨论。故选B。
10.What made Gauti choose Berlin?
A.Its potential and power.
B.Its former glories.
C.Its interesting museums.
D.Its position in people's mind.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“People of talent and influence were very often attracted to power ... offer this now is Berlin.”可推知,Gauti选择柏林的原因是它的潜力和权力。故选A。
11.What does the underlined phrase “hang his hat” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Put away his hat. B.Make a speech.
C.Settle down. D.Stop writing.
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Once the New York Times launched a debate: Where Would Hemingway Go in Europe? (《纽约时报》曾发起一场辩论:海明威会去欧洲哪里?)”以及画线词上文“Personally, I don't feel qualified to decide where Papa Hemingway would”可知,就海明威会在哪个欧洲城市定居,作者认为自己没有资格断定。故画线短语意为“安定下来”。故选C。
12.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Hemingway?
A.He lived an expensive and adventurous life.
B.He enjoyed taking pictures of bullfighting.
C.He was not rich but full of passion for life.
D.He was interested in things of the Middle Ages.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These days London and Paris are too expensive for struggling writers.(如今,对于苦苦挣扎的作家来说,伦敦和巴黎的物价太贵了。)”以及“He loved bullfighting (他喜欢斗牛)”可推知,海明威并不富有,但对生活充满激情。故选C。
