takenatoll

ontheenvironment.(另一方面，我们的旅行takenatoll环境)”中动词短语takenatollon的意思是“损害”，与B项“Damaged”同义。故选B项。【30题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Andeventhosepeoplewhoregularlyconsumeorbehaveinanenvironmentallyfriendlyfashionactuallytemporarilyforgettheirenvironmentalcommitments,andbehavelikenormaltourists.Theydosuffersomekindofecoguilt,butneverthelesstheycontinuetotravel,andtheycontinuetofly.(即使是那些经常以环保方式消费或行事的人，实际上也会暂时忘记他们的环保承诺，表现得像普通游客一样。他们确实会有某种生态负罪感，但尽管如此，他们还是继续旅行，继续坐飞机)”可知，尽管一些游客有环保意识，但很难改变自己的旅游行为，说明游客很难受到环保意识的影响。故选A项。【31题详析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However,tosomeextent,Ihopetherewillbeasignificantriseinthecostoftravel,oratleastinairtravel.Inmyopinion,onlyinthiswaycanpeoplerealizethevalueoftravelexperienceandreallyenjoyit.(然而，在某种程度上，我希望旅行成本，至少是航空旅行成本会大幅上升。在我看来，只有这样，人们才能意识到旅行体验的价值并真正享受它)”可知，作者希望机票更贵是因为他希望通过增加旅行成本的方式来帮助人们重视他们的旅行体验。故选C项。DImagineyou’repurchasingalotteryticket,andyourheartracesasyoucheckthenumbers.Toyouramazement,you’vematchedfiveoutofsix!Whatwillyoudonext?Willyoubuyanotherticket?Formostpeople,theanswerisabig“Yes”.Whenwecomeclosetoachievingagoal,weoftengainapowerfulenergythatcandriveustowardfuturesuccess.MonicaWadhwa,amarketingprofessoratTempleUniversity,suggeststhatnotwinningcanactuallymotivateusmorethanwinningitself.Inherstudies,Wadhwaconductedvariousexperimentstotestthisconcept.Inoneexperiment,participantsplayedacellphonegamewiththetaskofrevealingeightdiamonds.Afterthegame,thosewhonearlywon—bygettingsevendiamonds—walkedfastertoclaimtheirrewardthanbothwinnersandlosers.“Theirmotivationisgettingintensified(加强),butthentheymissit...Sowhathappenstothismotivation?Ithookson,givingyoutheenergyforthenextgoalthatyouhave.”Wadhwaexplains,“Asforthewinners,theyinchtowardtheirgoal,theyachieveit,andtheirmotivationissatisfied,whichleavesthemwithnoneedtofightforanythingelse.”However,thisfireinyourbellyshouldbeusedwisely.Suchmotivationcanpushyoutowardsignificantgoals,orbewastedondistractions.Inanotherexperimentatafashion-accessorystorewhereshoppersweregivenscratch-offlotterytickets,thenear-winnersshoppedmoreandspentmorethanbothwinnersandlosers.Toharness(利用)thisenergy,Wadhwaadvisessettinggoalsthatareslightlybeyondourreach.Sheencouragesmanagerstoestablishchallengingyetachievabletargetsfortheirteams.Additionally,sherecommendsthatparentshighlighthowclosetheirchildrencametowinningwhentheyexperiencelosses,fosteringresilienceandmotivation.Byunderstandingtheuniquepowerofnearlywinning,wecanturnsetbacksintosteppingstonesforfuturesuccess.AsWadhwaputsit.“Winnersreallydonottakeitall.”32.What’sthepurposeofparagraph1?A.Tostresstheimportanceofwinning.
