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 seaside holidays, overcrowded 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 holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country 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 onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational 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 from 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 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.

小题1:答案:C 推理判断题。第一段中作者描述:每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆,每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告“这儿是世上最后一处天堂。”由作者的语气我们可以推断出这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了,故选C项。
小题2:答案:D 推理判断题。第三段作者引用了尼泊尔发展旅游业为例,其初衷是为当地的教育和卫生事业提供资金,但是很快这儿的人们、自然环境就受到了旅游业影响。现在这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦,故选D项。
小题3:答案:B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的Once it was his back that bore the pain;now it is his smile that is exploited.“过去是他的脊背在承受痛苦,现在是人们开发利用他的微笑”推断出现在他们为了谋生不得不用自己的微笑来取悦游客,故选B项。
小题4:答案:D 推理判断题。倒数第二段第二句“野生生物的保护,国家公园的创建要和旅游业的发展同时进行”,又根据倒数第一段第一句,“未来十年,如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。”由此可推断出D项符合题意。
小题5:答案:C 观点态度题。综观全文可知作者的态度是客观的。A:乐观的;B:怀疑的;C:客观的;D:消极的。故选C项。

长难句子分析
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit.
句意:旅游业在未来10年里的运行模式将决定该行业本身的命运,并且也将决定那些我们都想去参观的国家的命运。
该句的主语是the way,tourism is handled in the next ten years是定语从句,修饰the way。代词that代替的是the fate,we all want to visit也是定语从句,修饰先行词countries。

“If you want to be a top tutor, it definitely helps if you are young and attractive. Students look at your appearance,” said Kelly Mok, 26, a “tutor queen” at King"s Glory, one of Hong Kong"s largest tutorial establishments.
Richard Eng from Beacon College, a former secondary school teacher, is often credited with being the first of Hong Kong"s “star tutors”. “In school all the teachers look the same, there"s no excitement,” he said.
The celebrity tutor phenomenon is a result of the huge growth in outofschool tutoring in Asia. It is fuelled by highly pressured examination systems and ambitious parents wanting their children to secure places at top universities and highstatus secondary schools.
In societies where success is_equated_with good exam results, parental anxiety converts into a “steady stream of revenue(收入)” for tutoring establishments, according to a study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The tutoring industry, or “shadow education” as the ADB calls it, has become very widespread in Asia, fed by the growth in universities and the rising proportion of school leavers aiming for university. Hong Kong University"s professor Mark Bray, one of the authors of the ADB study, said a staggering 72% of finalyear school students in Hong Kong now go to private tutors.
It"s not just Hong Kong. Tutoring has “spread and intensified(强化) in Asia and become more commercialized,” said Professor Bray. In South Korea, 90% of primary school children attend such classes. In China, New Oriental Education and Technology has grown to become one of the largest tutoring schools in Asia with around 2.4 million students this year. In South Korea, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India, tutorial schools use star tutors to attract even more students.
小题1:According to Kelly Mok, tutors ________.
A.have a lot in common with school teachers |

C.Mark Bray. | D.Not mentioned. |
A.the number of school leavers is increasing |
B.tutoring may improve achievement for individual students |
C.star tutors have attracted 2.4 million students |
D.more and more students in Asia go to private tutors |
A.is equal to | B.leads to |
C.results in | D.is different from |

A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check emails. But the next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”
There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere,do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What"s the background of the place; what"s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult before visiting a new Web site.
Navigate the world in 3D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom(快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainforests over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef.
With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong"s famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon"s surface with Armstrong"s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
When you"re exploring that part of the solar system, hop on over to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mars Rovers.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among US teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk of crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than that of older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays between the hours of 3 pm and midnight.
Why are teens at higher risk of motor vehicle crashes?
Development. Teens haven"t completely matured mentally and have greater risktaking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.
No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.
Alcohol. A least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to drinking alcohol.
Technological distractions(分散注意力的事).Cellphones,texting,MP3 players,and the like can all distract drivers greatly—and who more than teenagers?
Be aware of your teen"s driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen"s use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to the danger when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply (eg. “I"m driving right now”), and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver"s whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can"t be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.
小题1:What factor is least related to the teen drivers" high risks of crashes?
A.Drivers" age. | B.Passengers" sex. |
C.Driving experience. | D.Driving time. |
A.using no seatbelts | B.drinking water |
C.carrying passengers | D.answering cellphones |
A.Texting. | B.GPS programs. |
C.Automated replies. | D.Voicemail. |
A.offer parents practical suggestions |
B.summarize teens" driving practices |
C.advocate different driving habits |
D.set an example for the teens |
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ(细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub(揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails(指甲). Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect(感染)themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.
小题1:What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Say no to washing hands in the wrong way. |
B.Find out why washing hands carefully is so important. |
C.Hand washing: so important----it gets a day of its own. |
D.Want to live a longer life?-wash your hands. |
A.to dry your hands | B.to wash away the soap |
C.to rub your hands carefully | D.to clean your fingers |
A.how to wash your hands correctly |
B.why washing hand with soap is so important |
C.the dangers of washing hands without soap |
D.when we should especially wash our hands with soap |
A.Medical care | B.Public service | C.Health report | D.Advertisement |
An online course is much cheaper than a private lesson. If a private lesson costs 30-40 dollars per week, just think about how quickly that adds up. You can take a whole online course in piano for just a fraction(小部分) of the money that you would spend on weeks of private lessons. Also, private lessons are usually only one hour per week. So you would have to wait for your next lesson to continue your learning. However, online piano courses are quite different.
With an online piano course, you can work at your own pace. You can also take as many lessons per week as you want, or go back and listen to your last lesson if you have forgotten anything. Most adults who want to learn how to play the piano enjoy being able to go back and listen to the lessons again.
Of course if you need someone to sit beside you and offer you immediate feedback(反馈) as you are playing, you might not get that from an online piano course. However, the lessons online can be viewed(观看) at any time, or as often as you’d like, which means that you can get your own type of feedback from an online piano course.
小题1:This passage mainly tells us ______.
A.the disadvantages of the traditional ways of learning to play the piano |

C.why people prefer online piano courses to traditional piano courses |

A.That private piano lessons shouldn’t be that expensive. |
B.That taking private piano lessons really costs a lot. |
C.That not everyone can afford to take piano lessons. |
D.That the price for private piano lessons has increased greatly. |
A.By giving detailed data. |
