being eco-conscious means being aware of your actions, and what you do to the environment. for example, you might think, “using hairspray is great for fixing my hair.” however, if you are eco-conscious, you would ask, “does this hairspray have cfcs in it? could i be destroying the earth by using hairspray?”how can i be eco-conscious? you can find many simple ways to help the environment in your everyday life. when you go shopping, bring a bag or a basket with you. please try not to use plastic bags as much as you can. you can go to work by bike or on foot if it is not far from your home. you can put your rubbish into different bags, which makes it convenient for recycling. you can eat less chewing gum. you can use your own chopsticks instead of the disposable ones in your company or in restaurants. you can put batteries in a special box instead of in garbage bins. you can use the water which has been used for washing vegetables or fruits to clean the floor and the toilet or to water your garden. you can turn off the decorative lights in your room when watching tv. you can turn down your air conditioner by one degree, as this will cause a 10% reduction in energy use. you can use recycled paper. every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil. you can also use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials. this will reduce the related air pollution by 20%, and the related water pollution by 50%. please believe that. if you do a little, it will make a big difference.56. human beings should care about the environment because _ . a. if we make the earth unlivable, well have to live in spaceb. it can help our children live betterc. if we dont, the earth will become a garbage dumpd. it will help to make the world a good living place57. if your deskmate is an eco-conscious person, he should _.a. be aware of the importance of protecting the environmentb. use plastic bags when he buys somethingc. know nothing about cfcsd. turn his air conditioner to a higher degree58. if you want to help the environment, you should do all the following except _. a. share a car with your colleagues b. use paper bags instead of plastic bagsc. use hairspray containing cfcs d. use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials59. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. its very hard for human beings to keep the earth clean and comfortableb. protecting the environment is the duty of everybodyc. we should protect the environment together, as its no use doing it individuallyd. its very easy to be eco-conscious60. according to the author, which of the following statements is wrong? a. being eco-conscious means you should know much about the environment. b. the more we care, the better the environment will be.c. if each of us just does a little, we cant make any difference.d. if we treat the earth badly, well make a lot of trouble for ourselves.bwithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. for example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the in habitants of a country. if tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. they begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. they forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. it is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.too much tourism can be a problem. if tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. this means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.on the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. businesses can also lose money. it costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. for example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much a s50 thousand dollars per room to build. if this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. building a hotel is just a beginning. there must be support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. all of these support facilities cost money. if they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.61. which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection? a. it is extremely important to develop tourism. b. building roads and hotels is essential. c. support facilities can cause all these problems. d. planning is of great importance to tourism.62. too much tourism can cause all these problems except_. a. a bad effect on other industries b. a change of tourists customs c. over-crowdedness of places of interest d. pressure on traffic63. it can be inferred from the text that_. a. the author doesnt like tourism developing so fast. b. local people will benefit from tourist attraction. c. other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism much. d. we cant build too many support facilities.64. the author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _. a. waste a lot of money b. weaken their economy c. help establish their customs d. help improve their lifecmuch to do at redfish lakeredfish lake is idahos new york city. everybody goes thereyou cant help but go. this high mountain lake is 60 miles north of sun valley and six miles south of stanley. its the perfect spot for family reunions because theres something for everyone，from building sandcastles on the beach to canoeing to horseback riding to hiking.the u.s. forest service operates a visitor center complete with exhibits，films and campfire talks in the outside amphitheater (竞技场)live music is offered at 4 p.m. on sundays on the front lawn (草坪)，as well as on friday and wednesday evenings during summer. there are plenty of nearby adventures，including trips to the ghost towns of custer and bonanza and a shower in sunbeam hot springs.outboard motorboats，for example，rent for $20 an hour；a canoe，$10；and aquacycles(水上自行车)，$8 per halfhour. there is also an hourlong lady of the lake tour，which costs $5 for children and $15 for adults.theres a small store on site，serving up everything from things for campfire to ice cream，as well as camping and fishing tools.redfish lake lodge (小屋) is open from now to the end of september. there are nine bedrooms in the historic 1929 lodge and 21 cabins. rebuilt about 10 years ago，they look old but have such modern conveniences as sofas，small kitchens，full baths，washers and dryers. prices start at $60. the lowest prices are offered from may 31 to june 17 and from sept.6 to oct.7. more information: 2086449096.65according to the text，redfish lake_.ais below sea levelbis next to new york citycis popular with visitorsdis closer to sun valley than to stanley66what do we know about redfish lake lodge?ait was built 10 years ago.bit has 1929 rooms in all.cit is open all year round.dit provides quality customer service.67which of the following about redfish lake are mentioned in this text?aits accommodation，shopping center and activities.bits shopping center，attractions and wildlife.cits attractions，sites and local customs.dits entertainment，population and location.68which of the following about redfish lake is not true?ait is much farther from sun valley than stanley.bpeople can make sandcastles on the beach of it.cit is located at the foot of the high mountain.dpeople can canoe and ride there.d信息匹配:下面是今年部分旅游线路介绍及想出游人的兴趣特点介绍，请阅读相关信息并按要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读旅游线路介绍：here is a selection of the tours organized for the coming year: -8 days mountaineering trip-climb yunnans third highest peak, the haba snow mountain. this is ideal for the truly adventurous. you need to be fit and healthy. - 8 days cycling tour from qiaotou town-visit the spectacular tiger leaping gorge. it is a leisurely tour suitable for anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy. no previous cycling experience is necessary and all our routes are on flat land! - 8 days river rafting-white water adventure on the yangtze from the old town of lijiang. this adults-only tour is exclusively for good swimmers and physically fit. - 10 days rainforest trek(乘牛车旅行)-spend 5 days in the forest and meet the local people. this is a walking tour and no previous experience is needed, just a curious mind and an interest in traditional cultures. - 10 days horse trekking tour-visit authentic tibetan villages of shangri-la. the ultimate horse-riding experience in a spectacular mountain environment. this trip is for confirmed riders only. dont expect three-star hotels on this trip.请阅读以下有出游意向的人的
