Jonas Kristjansson,a sociologist at the University of Reykjavik,has spent years trying to understand why Iceland remains so peaceful despite the pressures of mass tourism."One key factor is our strong sense of social trust,"he explains."In Iceland,people generally believe that others will do the right thing.This trust extends to tourists.Locals are willing to help strangers find their way,and visitors tend to respond with respect."However,Kristjansson warns that this trust is not unlimited."If the number of tourists continues to grow at current rates,we might see a decline in this social capital-the shared values and trust that hold our communities together." The peak of Iceland's tourism boom came in 2017,when visitor numbers exceeded 2.2 million- roughly six times the country's population at the time.While the economic benefits are clear-tourism now accounts for about 10%of Iceland's GDP-the environmental and social costs are equally significant.Footpaths to popular waterfalls like Skogafoss have been worn down by thousands of pairs of hiking boots daily,and the once-secluded hot springs in the Highlands have become crowded with selfie sticks and drone cameras. In response,the Icelandic government introduced the "Icelandic Pledge"in 2019:a commitment that visitors sign before anival,promising to stay on marked paths,leave no trace,and respect local customs. Furthermore,a new tourism strategy announced in 2022 aims to redistribute visitor flows away from the congested south coast to less-visited regions like the Westfjords and the East Fjords.This involves building new walking trails,improving infrastructure,and promoting off-season travel What does this mean for the future of peace in Iceland?According to Kristjansson,it all depends on balancing growth with preservation."Iceland's peace is not fragile-it's resilient,"he says."But resilience should never be taken for granted.Like the lava fields that cover our land,peace needs time to cool and solidify..” ()1.What does the Global Peace Index mainly measure? A.Cultural heritage and history. B.Natural resources and tourism income C.Safety,conflict levels and political conditions. D.Environmental sustainability and population density ()2.The term "social capital"in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to. A.the financial benefits of tourism B.the shared trust and values within a community C.the economic resources of the local population D.the political system of a county ()3.What problem did Iceland face because of the tourism boom? A.The local language was threatened. B.The population decreased significantly. C.Natural attractions were physically damaged D.The government refused to invest in infrastructure. ()4.One measure the Icelandic govemment took to solve the problem was to A.ban all foreign tourists from the south coast B.require visitors to sign an agreement about responsible behavior C.close the popular hot springs permanently D.reduce the number ofhiking trails available ()5.What is the author's attitude toward Iceland's future peace? A.Deeply worried and hopeless. B.Overly optimistic and blindly confident. C.Cautious but hopeful with reasonable concem. D.Completely indifferent and unconcerned. Passage 2 In the summer of 2023,the narrow canals of Venice,Italy,were so crowded with gondolas and water buses that navigation became nearly impossible.Residents complained of constant noise and rising house prices,while visitors complained of hour-long queues for museums.This phenomenon,known as "overtourism",has become one of the most pressing challenges facing the global travel industry today. Overtourism occurs when the number of visitors to a destination exceeds its capacity to host them sustainably.The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)defines this as"the impact of tourism on a destination that excessively influences the perceived quality of life of citizens and/or the quality of visitors'experiences."While the term is relatively new,the problem is not.Machu Picchu in Peru,Maya Bay in Thailand,and Barcelona's Gothic Quarter have all experienced similar difficulties over the past decade. Dr.Emily Carson,an urban planner who has studied overtourism in over 30 counties,identifies three main factors driving the crisis."First,there's the explosion of budget airlines and accommodation sharing platforms,"she explains."Second,social media has turned many formerly unknown places into "Instagrammable'destinations overnight.Third,and perhaps most importantly,there's a fundamental mismatch between the economic incentives for local governments and the needs oflocal communities. Cities earn millions from tourism taxes,but the costs-like damage to heritage sites and increased rent for residents-are often ignored." The solutions,however,are not straightforward.Some destinations,like Dubrovnik in Croatia,have imposed strict limits on the number of cruise ships allowed to dock each day.Others,such as the Galapagos Islands,have increased entrance fees to $200 per person.But these measures can be controversial.Critics argue that ticket pricing strategies often hurt budget-conscious travelers and favor wealthy tourists,which goes against the principle of accessible travel. A more innovative approach is emerging in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto.Here,local authorities have partnered with technology companies to develop a "Digital Nomad Pass"that allows travelers to visit less popular attractions at discounted rates during off-peak hours.The program uses real-time data from mobile phones and ticket sales to direct visitors away from overcrowded temples and toward quieter cultural experiences like tea ceremonies in rural farmhouses. Meanwhile,a growing movement called "slow travel"encourages tourists to spend more time in fewer places,using local transport and staying in locally-owned accommodation."The goal is not to stop people from traveling,"says Dr.Carson."The goal is to help them travel better.The places we love will survive if we start treating them not as products to be consumed,but as relationships to be nurtured." ()1.The author mentions Venice and Machu Picchu to show that overtourism A.only affects popular European cities B.is a problem limited to ancient ruins C.is a global issue affecting various types of destinations D.has been fully resolved by local governments ()2.According to Dr.Emily Carson,one factor that contributes to overtourism is. A.the decreasing number of budget airlines B.the lack of interesting places on social media C.the mismatch between economic benefits and community needs D.the strict government control over tourist numbers ()3.What can we learn about the "Digital Nomad Pass"in Kyoto? A.It increases the entrance fees to popular attractions. B.It allows free enty to all tourists during peak hours. C.It uses data to guide visitors to less crowded spots at lower prices. D.It was developed to replace tourism altogether. ()4.The"slow travel"movement primarily encourages tourists to. A.visit as many places as possible in a short time B.travel by plane and stay in international hotels C.avoid local transportation and traditions D.spend longer time in fewer places and support local businesses ()5.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Tourism brings only economic benefits to local communities. B.The problem of overtourism has simple solutions that everyone agrees on C.Overtourism is a complex issue that requires long-term and thoughtful solutions. D.Travel should be stopped completely to protect the environment. 二、完形填空 Have you ever felt like your phone is a part of your body?I thought I couldn't live without mine-until last summer,when I spent two weeks in a remote cottage in the Scottish Highlands.There was no Wi-Fi, no phone signal,and,1. I soon discovered,no escape from the silence. When I first arrived,I felt 2. My hand kept reaching for my pocket,where my phone normally lived.I had nothing to do,nowhere to post photos,and no one to text."What kind of holiday is this?"I asked myself 3. But as the days passed,something began to change. On the third morning,I woke up and didn't immediately reach for my phone.4. I sat by the window and watched the mist rise from the loch.For the first time in years,I heard the birds singing really heard them.I noticed the way the light 5. across the water,and the way the wind carried the smell of pine trees. I started filling my days with simple activities:walking through the heather-covered hills,collecting firewood,and cooking meals from ingredients I had bought at a local farm.I had time to think-about my life,my goals,and the people I6. about.Without the constant noise of notifications,my mind became 7. "You look different,"my husband said on the video call we managed to have at the village phone box. "More relaxed.Happier." Of course,I didn't stay in the Highlands forever.When I returned to the city,the furst thing I did was turn offmy phone and put it in a drawer.I still use it,of course-for work,for calling my mother,for navigating the subway.But I've leamned to 8. my relationship with technology.I no longer answer every notification 9. I leave my phone in another room when I eat dinner.I go for walks without it. The two weeks in the Highlands taught me something important:sometimes,the best way to 10 your life is to step away from it for a while.The peace I found there wasn't just in the mountains and the lakes-it was inside me,waiting to be 11. This experience has also changed the way I think about travel.Now,when I plan a tip,I don't look for the most "Instagrammable"spot or the place with the best Wi-Fi.I look for places where I can truly disconnect-where the nights are dark enough to see the stars,and the silence is loud enough to hear my own 12. "You don't need to go to the Highlands to find peace,"my grandmother told me when I shared my story "Peace is not a destination.It's a 13. of traveling."Her words reminded me that the real adventure isn't about where you go-it's about how you choose to 14. the journey. So,if you're feeling overwhelmed by the noise of daily life,consider this a gentle 15. _:put down your phone,look out the window,and listen.The world is speaking.Are you ready to listen? 1.A.asB.whatC.whichD.that 2.A.excitedB.lostC.comfortableD.relieved 3.A.angrilyB.proudlyC.silentlyD.happily 4.A.HoweverB.ThereforeC.MoreoverD.Instead 5.A.disappearedB.dancedC.stoppedD.broke 6.A.caredB.talkedC.complainedD.worried 7.A.noisierB.emptieIC.clearerD.busier 8.A.controlB.rebuildC.escapeD.avoid 9.A.immediatelyB.carefullyC.eventuallyD.politely 10.A.changeB.planC.redesignD.recommend 11.A.discoveredB.forgottenC.hiddenD.ignored 12.A.voiceB.stepsC.musicD.laughter 13.A.methodB.resultC.wayD.cause 14.A.endB.enjoyC.startD.finish 15.A.questionB.warningC.invitationD.agreement 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. The Quiet Revolution:How a Small Town in Wales is Fighting for its Future In the heart of the Welsh countryside,surrounded by green hills and ancient sheep farms,lies the small town of Llanthony.Like many rural communities across the UK,Llanthony has been struggling for survival for decades.Young people leave for cities in search of jobs and opportunities,while the remaining population-mostly elderly-struggles to keep local shops,schools,and pubs open. But something unusual is happening in Llanthony.Instead of accepting decline,a group of residents has launched an ambitious project to attract remote workers from urban areas.They call it the "Llanthony Living Lab"-a initiative that offers free accommodation for three months to professionals who are willing to move to the town,work remotely,and contribute to the local community. The idea was born in 2021 when local librarian Megan Pary noticed something:during the pandemic, more and more city dwellers were moving to the countryside."I thought,why should this be random?" she explains."Why not make it intentional?We have empty houses,beautiful scenery,and a way of life that's slower and healthier.All we needed were the people." The response has been overwhelming.In the first year,the town received over 400 applications for just 12 spots.Successful candidates include a software engineer from London,a graphic designer from Manchester,and a photographer from Bristol.In retum for the free accommodation-a modest stone cottage with a wood-buming stove-participants must spend at least 10 hours a week volunteering in the community,such as helping at the local primary school,organizing events,or maintaining the hiking trails. One of the participants,32-year-old Mark Thompson,says the experience changed his life."Before,I measured success by my salary and my job title.Here,I measure it by the number of people I've had dinner with,the walks I've taken,and the stars I've seen at night.It's a different kind of wealth." However,the project faces challenges.Some locals are skeptical,worying that"outsiders"might change the character of the town.Others question the long-term sustainability:what happens when the three months are over?Will people stay,or will they return to the city? "We know it's not a perfect solution,"admits Pany."But it's a start.We're not just trying to save Llanthony-we're tying to create a model for other small towns.The future of rural communities may not be about preventing people from leaving.It might be about giving them a reason to come back." 1.What is the main challenge facing Llanthony according to the first paragraph? 2.What is the "Llanthony Living Lab"project? 3.What is expected from the participants in retumn for free accommodation?(List one specific requirement) 4.What is the different kind of"wealth"Mark Thompson is refening to in Paragraph 4? 5.Despite its success,what is one problem that the project still faces? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 My first trip abroad was to a small village in Italy,which was so remote that it was almost 1. on the map.I felt a little 2. at first because my Italian was terrible,and I couldn't even order a coffee without pointing.However,the locals were incredibly fiiendly.One old man,who 3. there after traveling around the world,invited me to his home for dinner.
