3.One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but.good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers.Indeed,a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry.Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere,and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the'last paradise(天堂) 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 sea-side holidays,over-crowded 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 holiday-makers traveling through the forest land.Ancient tacks became major routes for the walkers,with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only the environment of a country can 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 one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national 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 in fact obtain financial support form 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.Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies.Increased understanding in planning world-wide 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.

分析 本文主要介紹了現(xiàn)在一些地區(qū)大力發(fā)展旅游業(yè)所帶來的負(fù)面影響,眾所周知旅游業(yè)可以給當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展帶來無限商機(jī),尤其是一些欠發(fā)達(dá)國家和地區(qū).但是盲目無序地發(fā)展旅游業(yè)也會破壞當(dāng)?shù)氐沫h(huán)境,改變?nèi)藗兊纳罘绞,所以要合理發(fā)展旅游業(yè).
解答 71.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere,and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the'last paradise(天堂) on earth'."可知,每個月都會看到某個地方在建一座新賓館,每個月都會有一個被巖石包圍的太平洋的島嶼在廣告中被稱作"地球上最后的天堂".由作者的語氣可以推出這樣的廣告是不可信的,已經(jīng)沒有什么說服力了,故選C項.
72.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段中的"In fact,the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land."可知,尼泊爾為了發(fā)展旅游業(yè),對外開放了森林,然而大自然很快就受到了旅游業(yè)帶來的負(fù)面影響.所以用尼泊爾的例子說明這個國家正經(jīng)受著旅游業(yè)帶來的痛苦,故選D項.
73.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段中的"The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national 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."可知,農(nóng)民不再是自己的主人,而成為了服務(wù)人員,曾經(jīng)只是累,現(xiàn)在連笑容都被剝奪了.由此可推知,農(nóng)民現(xiàn)在不得不以取悅游客來謀生,故選B項.
74.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit."可知,未來十年,如何管理旅游業(yè)將決定旅游業(yè)和我們要去參觀的國家的命運,所以旅游業(yè)的管理方式將決定旅游業(yè)未來的命運,故選D.
75.C 情感態(tài)度題.綜觀全文可知,作者既講了旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)的負(fù)面影響,也講了旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展優(yōu)勢,所以,作者對旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展持客觀的(objective)態(tài)度,故選C.
點評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀,考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
