解答 31．答案：E．根据下句"It is a new term in today's tourism industry"中的new term可知，此处指的是"新词语"，所以选E，意思是"你也许对ecotourism这个词不是很熟悉"．故选E．
32．答案：A．根据下句中的"programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots"可知，这些项目涉及对一些景点的保护，故选A，意思是"它把生态和文化考虑在内"，后句是对前句的进一步解释．故选A．
33．答案：G．根据下句"They include bird-watching，hiking，driving，photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events"可知，此处指的是生态旅游所包含的项目，所以上句应是一个总体的说明，故选G．
34．答案：B．下文的However表示意思上的转折，同时下句提到"some smaller towns and country areas"以及"new destinations for people to visit"，那么上句就应该是与之进行比较的内容，故选F，意思是"当今社会大城市仍然是吸引游客的主要地方"．故选B．
35．答案：D．该空前面讲的是自然与人类之间的关系，所以这里应该讲"如何在利用自然资源的同时保护它们是非常重要的"．故选D．
