Located on Turkey's fam< us．500 km Lycian Way arid only accessible by water，the 86,000 sqm Butterfly Valley is home to roughly 100 species of butterflies，including the orange，black and white Jersey Tiger.

The Turkish government named the valley a preservation area in 1987 to protect the butterflies and

local plants-a distinction that lias protected the valley from the fate of its better-known neighbour，Olu-

deniz，a beach resort 5 km north．

Oludeniz remained actually unknown until travellers began camping there in the 1980s. Today，it's a

particularly depressing example of paradise lost（失乐园）．The town is filled with neon lights and

English

-themed restaurants． The beach is crowded with drunken，sunburned tourists，and the clear skies are

polluted with seemingly infinite paraglider（滑翔伞）from the surrounding green mountains. In contrast，the Anatolia Tourism Development Cooperative bought Butterfly Valley from the villagers of Faralya in 1981 and opened it for tourism in 1984．Three years later，when the government deemed the valley a national preservation area，the Cooperative made the construction of permanent buildings illegal． Today，they allow only tents and small houses，and they've focused on natural growth as opposed to com-

mercial．Plants，like olives，pomegranates，lemons，oranges，grapes，walnuts，peaches，apricots，palm，oleander and laurel，all thrive here．

For eight months a year-between April and November一a small and diverse group of hippies and

backpackers come over to the valley，where days are marked by sunrise and sunset yoga practices and

evenings by music sessions. Once mid-afternoon hits，after the few tour boats are gone fo_ the day，But-

terfly Valley belongs to those who are willing to spend the night under the stars，living wonderfully free of

the more luxurious conveniences of Oludeniz. 32．What can we learn about Butterfly Valley？

A ．It's a preservation area with convenient transportation．

B ．It's located near Oludeniz，and better known for its natural beauty． C ．It's a successful model of natural reserves to protect the butterflies. D ．It's a fully-developed destination for sightseeing in Turkey·

33．The Anatolia Tourism Development Cooperative protected the Valley by＿· A ．attending to its natural growth

B ．allowing the construction of permanent buildings C ．making it a natural preservation area D ．organizing various commercial activities

34．The underlined word“thrive”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to＿· A. survive B．boom C．maintain D. exist 35．The writer implies that Butterfly Valley is＿·

A ．well known for yoga practices and music session B ．best for travellers following luxurious conveniences C，not open to travellers all the year around D ．famous for its starry night
