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, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. for example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 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 many 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.1which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?ait is extremely important to develop tourism.bbuilding roads and hotels is

national park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. however, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year. with leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), playa grandes turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. and the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in september. “we do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said alvaro fonseca, a park ranger (管理员). even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and costa ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. but climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the pacific for 150 million years. sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. they feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. they lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves. more uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the eggs temperature during development. small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. if the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. above 34, you get boiled eggs. on some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise. 1. why does the resort town stop promoting its turtle tourism? a. it decides not to disturb the turtles normal life. b. tourists have lost interest in watching turtles. c. there are only very few turtles now. d. the turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide. 2. which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment? a. the locals eating habit. b. drift net fishing. c. beach development. d. global warming. 3. we learn from the last paragraph that scientists. a. are doing research on the sea rise b. are moving turtles to new homesc. are protecting turtles nests d. are getting rid of sea weeds4. the passage intends to. a. introduce a special kind of sea turtleb. explain the mystery of turtles eggsc. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facingd. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum【参考答案】14、cdcc belectric cars are dirtyin fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousinspeople in california love to talk about “zero-emissions（排放）vehicles,” but people in california seem to be clueless about where electricity comes frompower plants mostly use fire to make itaside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）generators are fueled by something usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plantsthere are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的）plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning somethingin other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning carsits just because the coal is burned somewhere else , so it looks cleanit is notits as if the california greens are covering their eyes“if i cant see it, its not happening.” gasoline is an unbelievably efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in itbut when you take that gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heatat the generator, through the transmission lines, etca gallon of gas may propel your car 25 milesbut the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered onesif our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be cleanbut for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sourcesin addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill（垃圾）and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roadswhen its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one placenature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot5. what is

recession(衰退) starts to bite. for colleagues in the east, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut. human resource experts say cultural differences explain why asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. the east asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group. in the confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective responsibility. while in the west, its more about individual survival, said michael benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at singapore management university (smu). i
