Passage 5 （24-25学年高一下·四川眉山东坡区·期中） The least-visited countries in the world It’s every traveler’s dream — a corner of the planet still undisturbed by tourists. And obviously, such places do exist. The United Nations World Tourism Organization lately reported the four least-visited countries globally. Liechtenstein (69,000) The sixth smallest country in the world is also one of the most undiscovered. Lying between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground. It’s the only country in the world to be totally in the Alps and a summer destination for hiking and cycling and snow-covered skiing perfection in winter, for those who can afford it. French Guiana (199,000) French Guiana is the least-visited country in South America, with some of the world’s most diverse plant and animal life. While there is much to attract tourists to the area, not least its miles of jungle, the construction is in need of some attention. Montserrat (9,000) Once a popular holiday spot, this Lesser Antilles island has never quite recovered from a series of natural disasters. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 hit 90 per cent of the island and in 1995 the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted. These days, its volcano is now actually one of Montserra’s main attractions, together with its beautiful beaches. Visitors can also go diving in its clear waters. Comoros (24,000) This collection of islands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar serves as the perfect destination for those who want to get away from everyday city life. Comoros offers beautiful volcanic scenery, fruitful forests, and remote sleepy towns. There are even some of the best undiscovered reefs(礁) just waiting to be explored by divers. 1. Which country is the best choice for snow skiing lovers? A. Montserrat. B. Comoros. C. Liechtenstein. D. French Guiana. 2. What do we know about French Guiana? A. It has a rich diversity of species. B. Its construction is new and advanced. C. It is the least-visited country in the world. D. Its most popular attraction is large areas of jungle. 3. What do Montserrat and Comoros have in common? A. They have thick forests. B. They are destinations for divers. C. They have recovered from natural disasters. D.

There are other sustainable tourism forms that focus on different priorities (优先事项), like volunteer work, small businesses, and unique local experiences. Soft Tourism Soft tourism relies on small-scale, locally-owned and operated businesses that employ local community members, respect the local way of life and local traditions. Soft tourism typically features what tourists are going through during the travel rather than choosing the most-visited tourist attractions. Tourists prefer to gain in-depth knowledge about the destination, and spend more time in one spot. Voluntourism Voluntourism involves tourists who travel for the specific purpose of volunteering, such as teaching English in a foreign country, working with a wildlife rescue center, or offering medical services to underdeveloped areas. Voluntourists can travel at home or internationally, typically for a charity or non-profit work, participating in voluntourism programs that help local communities and benefit destinations in the long term. Community Tourism Community-based tourism puts a region’s tourism industry into the hands of its local residents, and it is often supported by its governments or non-profit organizations that have experience in tourism development. Community members will manage guesthouses where tourists can get an authentic (正宗的) experience of local culture, become tour guides, or provide other tourism services. This type of tourism is important because economic benefits usually go straight towards local families and stay within the community. 1. According to the passage, what is a key feature of soft tourism? A. It requires government funding to operate. B. It involves large international hotel chains. C. It stresses local businesses and cultural experiences. D. It focuses on protecting the ecological environment. 2. What experience does Voluntourism offer to tourists? A. Tasting the local specialities. B. Picking up the native languages. C. Visiting the hottest tourist attractions. D. Working with Elephant Aid International. 3. What do the three types of tourism have in common? A. Non-profitable and eye-catching. B. Money-saving and family-engaged. C. Pressure-free and government-supported. D. Developmentally-friendly and local-beneficial. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 阅读理解 应用文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·福建福州十一中·期中） Four winter wonderlands for cold-weather getaways ◆JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Beat any holiday stress with the new HydroSpa opening at Muskoka’s JW Marriott on Nov.

I wonder how he would react if I were to read my newspaper out loud on the train, I have never had the courage to do it, though. Pak50 — 57 minutes ago Why not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice. Angie O’Edema — 24 minutes ago I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologized to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better. Taodas — 19 minutes ago I did read my newspaper out loud on a train, and it turned out well. The guy took it in good part, and we chatted happily all the way to Edinbergh. Sophie 76 — 8 minutes ago I have not tried reading my newspaper out loud on a train, but, several years ago, I read some chapters from Harry Porter to my bored and noisy children.

There are other sustainable tourism forms that focus on different priorities (优先事项), like volunteer work, small businesses, and unique local experiences. Soft Tourism Soft tourism relies on small-scale, locally-owned and operated businesses that employ local community members, respect the local way of life and local traditions. Soft tourism typically features what tourists are going through during the travel rather than choosing the most-visited tourist attractions. Tourists prefer to gain in-depth knowledge about the destination, and spend more time in one spot. Voluntourism Voluntourism involves tourists who travel for the specific purpose of volunteering, such as teaching English in a foreign country, working with a wildlife rescue center, or offering medical services to underdeveloped areas. Voluntourists can travel at home or internationally, typically for a charity or non-profit work, participating in voluntourism programs that help local communities and benefit destinations in the long term. Community Tourism Community-based tourism puts a region’s tourism industry into the hands of its local residents, and it is often supported by its governments or non-profit organizations that have experience in tourism development. Community members will manage guesthouses where tourists can get an authentic (正宗的) experience of local culture, become tour guides, or provide other tourism services. This type of tourism is important because economic benefits usually go straight towards local families and stay within the community. 1. According to the passage, what is a key feature of soft tourism? A. It requires government funding to operate. B. It involves large international hotel chains. C. It stresses local businesses and cultural experiences. D. It focuses on protecting the ecological environment. 2. What experience does Voluntourism offer to tourists? A. Tasting the local specialities. B. Picking up the native languages. C. Visiting the hottest tourist attractions. D. Working with Elephant Aid International. 3. What do the three types of tourism have in common? A. Non-profitable and eye-catching. B. Money-saving and family-engaged. C. Pressure-free and government-supported. D. Developmentally-friendly and local-beneficial. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3.
