Question

       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.

71.  What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 ?

       A. The Pacific island is a paradise.                        B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.

       C. The advertisement is not convincing.                 D. The advertisement is not impressive

       A. its natural resources are untouched.                  B. its forests are exploited for farmland

73.  What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4 ?

       A. They are happy to work their own lands.           

       B. They have to please the tourists for a living.

       C. They have to struggle for their independence. 

       D. They are proud of working in multi-national organizations.

74.  Which of the following determines the future of tourism ?

【解析】

71 C。判断推理题。难度: 中。大家都期待旅游业“would bring nothing but good”,而且“a rosy picture”也被绘制出来，在此背景下，“every month”都有 “another rock-bound Pacific island ”被宣称为“the last paradise(天堂)”，只是为了说明广告的信服力令人怀疑，故而A选项正确。

72 D。判断推理题。难度: 中。第三段第一句指出“Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most.”而接下来便以Nepal为例来证实，尼泊尔由于没有旅游开发方面的经验，导致了“the consequent exploitation of  precious trees and plants”，故而D为正确。

too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land得出过多的旅游者使尼泊尔的自然环境受到影响。

73 B。判断推理题。难度: 难。旅游业的迅速发展不仅给环境带来损坏，farmers的生活方式发生了改变，“Once it was his back that bore the pain ; now it is his smile that is exploited.”曾经他们可以在农田里靠自己的劳作为生，而今，他们失去了土地，只有靠取悦游客“exploit his smile”来换取收入谋生，因此选项B为正确答案。

【干扰项排除】现如今，土地“makes way for”旅游开发，农民失去了土地，所以答案A错误；农民“ no longer his own master”这里指的是没有了土地，不是被统治下争取独立，所以B也错误；曾经的农民现在成了雇工“now the servant”，毫不为奇他们“wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.”可见他们并不满意作为雇工的生活，故而选项D错误。

74 D。细节理解题。难度: 中。最后一段第一句 “The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate ”，未来十年旅游业的管理方式将决定旅游业的未来命运，此处涉及词语转换“handle”转化为“manage”，故而答案为D。

【解题思路】我们在做题中经常会出现，有的题好像不好下手，不能直接获得重要信息，此题中，有个handle,我们可以利用词语转化，刚好对应选项D中的management,由此，解题便出现了转机，答案也就显现了。

75 C。判断推理题。难度: 中。作者从旅游业发展带来的益处以及旅游业发展过程中出现的问题以及担忧，到最后指出旅游业是否能够有光明的未来，取决于对旅游业的管理，纵观全文，可以得知作者客观陈述了对旅游业的看法，故得出C。

【难句学习】

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'.

翻译：每个月总有新的旅店在某个地方被建；每个月也总有另一个太平洋岛礁被宣称为地球上最后的天堂。

分析：see意思为目睹;经历;见证，例如：Yesterday saw the resignation of the acting Interior Minister.昨天代理内政部长辞职了。

Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers.

翻译：值得庆幸的是，旅游业已开始承担起它对那些接待游客的国家应有的责任。

分析：此句虽然简单，但却是个还有两个定义从句的复合句，第一个定义从句是it has修饰the responsibilities，第二个从句是that receive its customers修饰countries,还有一点要指出的就是the responsibilities towards sth，对sth的责任。
