As environmental consciousness has risen，attitudes to such sightseeing have changed.Yes，it is exciting to visit remote forests or spot rare species.But travelling to distant destinations is carbon-intensive (碳密集的) when flights or long road journeys are involved，and conservation can be made more difficult as well as assisted by sightseers.There is a balance to be struck，and some governments and businesses around the world try to increase the benefits while reducing the harm.Colombia，for example，recently introduced laws aimed at promoting sustainable tourism.Based on this，its economy got prosperous (繁荣的) as well as the tourism. Most of us understand better than ever that there are costs as well as benefits associated with exploring.One of the commitments made by an environmental campaign launched last month，“The Jump”，is to “holiday local”，taking short flights once every 3 years and long flights very rarely.Fortunately，the UK's 15 national parks，86 areas of outstanding natural beauty，and countless other landscapes that are without formal status，but still beloved，mean that there is no shortage of special places for domestic nature tourists to visit，while a lot of European beauty spots are accessible by rail. One recent survey found that Windsor Great Park and Kew have become Britain's most popular attractions.Visitor numbers at wildlife trusts are high，with waiting lists for beaver-spotting.Some companies that formerly ran foreign trips have adapted to the pandemic by taking people to watch dolphins and other marine life off British coasts instead. As we face an environmental emergency that grows ever more dangerous，it is essential to develop appreciation for nature that surrounds us.In a small way，holiday outings to watch dragonflies，kingfishers or seals，or be surrounded by trees that are coming into leaf，could help us to focus on what matters. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍并提倡人们假期短途旅行或者欣赏本地的大自然，可以起到保护环境的作用。 8．Why are the lists of Seven Wonders mentioned?

Across Europe，turf bricks were cut from local bogs (沼泽) and transported for use at higher lands.The turf was then laid over a wooden structure to form walls and a thick roof—to keep cold out from tough northern climates.Turf walls were replaced as frequently as every 20 years，and in other regions，they could endure up to 70 years. It is difficult to find out its precise origins in the archaeological record.However，evidence of similar constructions can be found in many countries throughout the ages.Historic records suggest that up to 50 percent of Icelandic houses were partly comprised of turf until the late 19th century.As populations began to gather in cities like Reykjavik，wood buildings replaced stones and earthen architecture.After fires burned up the city in 1915，concrete became the material of choice.In 1918 Iceland gained independence from Denmark，setting in motion a wave of nationalism that threatened the survival of turf houses.Advocates of modernisation argued that Reykjavik paled in comparison to the grand architecture that graced the skylines of Paris，Berlin，and London.Traditional techniques were criticised as“rotten Danish wood”from a troubled era，and there was a campaign to clear them in favour of modern buildings—a move later criticised by many as destruction of cultural heritage. A tourism boom in the latter half of the 20th century encouraged Iceland to reexamine the value of traditional architecture.Do Icelanders still live in turf houses? The quickest way to answer this question would be no.You might still see an occasional grass roof but that has everything to do with architecture and Icelanders wanting to hold on to their beloved heritage rather than any need for turf as insulation (隔热) material. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。公元9—11世纪，在冰岛草皮因其容易获得且持久的性能成为造房子的首选，草皮屋大量出现，但1918年冰岛的民族主义浪潮曾危及它们的存在。现在，草皮屋和自然景观融为一体，成为冰岛靓丽的风景。 12．Why did people use turf to build houses in the past? A．It matched nature perfectly. B．It could be changed often. C．It was accessible and long-lasting. D．It was a request by settlers. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Turf(草皮)—widely available—became their first pick to make shelters.”和第二段中的“Turf walls were...could endure up to 70 years.”可知，在过去人们用草皮修建房屋，这是因为草皮容易获得且耐用。故选C项。 13．What was a direct result of the wave of nationalism? A．People packed into Reykjavik. B．Traditional architecture was in favour. C．Turf houses were almost unable to exist. D．Concrete became a new building material. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 1918 Iceland gained independence from Denmark，setting in motion a wave of nationalism that threatened the survival of turf houses.”可知，民族主义浪潮直接导致草皮屋几乎无法继续存在。故选C项。 14．What can we infer about the turf houses from the last paragraph?
