老师总结近几年来
题目类型:生态环境类
Passage 1
Ecotourism has been broadly defined as recreational travel that is focused on the natural environment and that seeks to minimize its impact on that environment.
5 However, there is little doubt that increasing numbers . of ecotourists also pose a threat to the quality and sustainability of natural ecosystems. Numerous accounts of tourists' "loving nature to death" have been reported, and concern is growing that ecotourism is becoming nothing more than a "green" label that dresses up
10 exploitative and destructive human behavior. Despite widespread advocacy for education as a solution to minimizing ecotourists' impacts on the natural environment, few tests of the effectiveness of educational programs in controlling tourists' behavior have been
15 conducted.
Passage 2
Although a substantial part of tourism is the "sun, surf, and sand" variety, the fastest-growing segment is ecotourism. There is, however, substantial concern about the potential negative impacts of ecotourism on the
20 environment and about the necessity to plan and regulate ecotourism to prevent them. There clearly have been abuses and mismanaged activities. Better planning and regulation are essential. Yet ecotourism brings many people into environments in which they can learn about the locale
25 and learn environmental principles that can heighten their awareness of and commitment to environmental protection in general. Increased emphasis on environmental learning as part of ecotourism could help prevent or reduce ecotourism's negative impacts.

题目难度分析:这篇文章读起来难度不大,认真读2遍然后带着题目的问题回到文章中问题自然迎刃而解。
题目答案分析:比如问题一是考察考生是否领会啦作者的意图即2篇文章的作者都有一个明显的意图就是教育读者们和大众去共同爱护生态环境,不要因为爱自然而令自然死亡,很显然答案就是D,第二道题目里面问的是passage1和passage2的区别那么可以看出第一篇文章突出强调的是生态旅游对自然环境日益增强的破坏性那么答案必然是D.
