ne might expect that theever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good
forhecouries that ive the holiday-makers.Indeed,a rosy picture is painted for the ongtem
fture of the holiday industry.Every monthses the building of a new hotel somewhere.Andve
month another rock-bound Pacifie island is advertised asthe last paradise on earth',
However,the scale and speed of this growth seemset to destroy the very things tourists want to
enjoy.Overerowded beaches and the conretejungles of enless hotels have begun tolose their appeal
Those couies with littleexperience of tourismn suffer most inarush to make quick money.In
recent years,Nepal's forests,full of wildlife and rare flowers,were offered to tourists as one more
untouched paradise,with the consequent destruction of precious trees and plants.
The people as well rapidly feel its effects.Farmland makes way for hotels,roads and airports;the
old way of life goes.The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization;he is
nolonger 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 in fact obtain financial supportfrom 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 ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we
all want to visit.Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for
these companies.If not,in a few years'time the very things that attract tourists now may well have
been destroyed.
28.What does the underlined sentence of Para.1 imply about tourism expansion?
A.Its technical challenge.
B.Its positive social effects.
C.Its potential drawbacks.
D.Its undervalued profitability.
29.Why does the author mention"Nepal"in Para.2?
A.To make comparison.
B.To support an argument.
C.To show cause and effect.
D.To group related ideas.
30.What is the main impact of tourism on farmers based on the text?
A.Increased opportunities.
B.Improvea work-life balance.
C.Transformed livelihood.
D.Enhanced social status.
31.What may determine the future of tourism?
A.Cultural diversity.
B.Off-track destinations.
C.Stable market.
D.Strengthened management.

Bacteria()know how to rough it out all over the earth.Ask most of them where they'd
truly prefer to settle through,and a kitchen sponge (would probably top the list.Yes,itturns
out that the very tool we use to clean our plates,which iswarm,damp,and full of nutritious food
pieces,is packed of tiny life.
Lingchong You,a biologist at Duke University,along with his team,used computers to model
the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study.He found that sponges featuring pockets of
varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.This holds
significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the
companionship of others.Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets,there exist such an
abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction.
Nevertheless,it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well
Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful;in fact,many perform vital jobs.The important
question is,therefore,are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about?
In 2017,Jennifer Quinlan,a professor of food safety,and her colleagues,collected kitchen
sponges from 100 homes,finding that only 1-2%of those sponges contained bacteria linked to
food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria.
"The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness,and they're just going to make
them smell"says Quinlan."Having said that,there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe
up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there,and studies have
found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges."
This is not the whole story yet.If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene,the
sponge's special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply.And there's
evidence this is the case.
32.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen.
B.Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C.Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria.
D.Bacteria affect kitchen sponges'performance.
33.What did Lingchong You find in his study?
A.How sponges are exactly structured.
C How bacteria react to the environment.
B.What encourages bacterial growth.
34.What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges?
D.Why bacteria keep company with each other.
A.Widely distributed
C.Surprisingly unpleasant
B.Poorly adaptive
D.Relatively harmless
35.What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?
A.Proofs of bacterial threat.
C.Methods to control bacterial growth.
B.The classification of bacteria.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中边出可以填入空白处的最佳地项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When communicating with others,we often focus on what we should say.
Listening
well means not just understanding the words or the information being communicated,but also
understanding the emotions the speaker is trying to convey.The following are tips for becoming an
active listener.
Focus fully on the speaker.You oan't listen in an active way if you're constantly checking your
phonc.3You need to stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience in order to pick up
the important nonverbal cues in a conversation.If you find it hard to concentrate on some speakers,try
repeating their words over in your head-it'll reinforce their message and help you stay focused.
Display your interest in what's being said by using body language.Nod occasionally,smile at the
person,and make sure your posture is open and inviting.38
Avoid interrupting or trying to redirect the conversation to your concems by saying something like,
"you think that's bad,let me tell you what happened to me."39You can't concentrate on
what someone's saying if you're forming what you're going to say next.Often,the speaker can read
your facial expressions and know that your mind's elsewhere.
In order to communicate effectively with someone,you don't have to like them or
agree with their ideas,values or opinions.However,you do need to set aside your judgement and hold
back blame and criticism in order to fully understand them.The most difficult communication,when
successfully performed,can often lead to an unlikely connection with someone.
A.Try to set aside judgement.
B.Be aware of individual differences.
C.It will make you feel more self-confident.
D.Listening is not the same as waiting for your tum to talk.
B.Encourage the speaker to continue with"yes"or"uh huh".
F.Thinking about something else also implies you are not an active listener.
G.However,effective communication is less about talking and more about listening.

nSaurday,we gathered at the hall towimess the award cermoy for the senor scou().
Receiving an award n such a day wasagreat honoror any scout,and all desired tobethe scout
selected to give the summary of the year's activities for the association.
I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that,I was grateful.I could hardly stand
infront of a arge rowd tomake a speech,but Sen coud He was selected todo thoor bcause he
was the President of the Boy Scouts for schools.My job was much simpler.Beingthe Vice-President,I
was very much bebind the scenes,content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order.
It was an hour to go before the ceremony began,and I had put the finishing touches to the stage.
Walking down the stage,I saw my teammates in a state of panic.When they saw me,they ran toe to
tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony.Someone
else had to give the summary.All of them looked hopefully at me,and I could feel my knees beginning
to collapse.
All their arguments against my unwillingness were valid.I had a copy of the speech as well as the
benefit of having seen Sean rehearse it.I was the Vice-President and therefore should take his
place.Finally,I was firmly told not to decline any longer and they said that they were convinced that I
would do the right thing.I sank down onto the floor,totally shocked by the situation.
I knew I was not a confident speaker,and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many
distinguished guests horrified me.To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of
me!The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paral:But there was really no way out of the situation.
