World Heritage Sites such as Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and Katmandu in Nepal could be taken off the tourism map by 2020 due to the effects of climate change and too many visitors，a think tank(政治、社会、经济问题的智囊团，智库) said on Friday.

In a report prepared for the UK insurance company Churchill，the Centre for Future Studies(CFS) listed 10 popular destinations that could be either permanently closed or have a visitor cap within 15 years.

“I’m reasonably confident we’re going to see an increasing climate degradation that is

going to influence various places in the world with increasing severity(严重)，”said CFS Director Frank Shaw.

“Floods，storms，droughts，increasing and irregular temperatures will combine to bring about changes in destination choice for tourists.”

Florida’s Everglades in the United States，Athens in Greece，Croatia’s Dalmatian coastline，Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in Italy as well as the Maldives are some of the other destinations at risk highlighted by the report.

The study drew on evidence provided by scientists，governments，as well as tourism and environmental organizations from around the world.

Tourism activity on the Great Barrier Reef，situated off Queensland state in Australia’s northeast，injects an estimated $3.8 billion into the local economy each year. “There is a conflict between environmental concerns and commercial interests，”added Shaw.“For some countries tourism represents a significant part of their gross domestic (国内的) product.”

But there is evidence Australia and many other governments are considering what can be done to protect national assets(资产)．

1．The reasons why some World Heritage Sites could be taken off the tourist map included all of the following EXCEPT________．

A．there are too many tourists visiting the sites B．the governments are not considering the sites

C．floods，storms and droughts frequently happen there D．there is often a sudden change in temperature there

B 解析：细节理解题。从第一段“World Heritage Sites...could be taken off the tourism map by 2020 due to the effects of climate change and too many visitors...”可知A、C、D项符合文意。

2．The underlined word “injects”(in Paragraph 7) is closest in meaning to “________”． A．invest C．introduce

B．cost D．divide

A 解析：词义猜测题。大堡礁的旅游估计每年要为当地经济注入38亿美元。inject注射；注入；invest投资。

3．Which of the following do not provide evidence about the climate degradation? A．Scientists and officials. B．Tourism organizations. C．Environmental organizations.

D．Insurance companies.

D 解析：细节理解题。从文中第六段“The study drew on evidence provided by scientists，governments，as well as tourism and environmental organizations from around the world.”中看出没有提及D项。

4．According to the passage，we can infer that________． A．some heritage sites will no longer be able to be seen in the future B．the listed destinations are all off the ocean coast C．the Great Barrier Reef will not be closed by 2020

D．environmental concerns and commercial interest has caused problems

A 解析：推理判断题。B项过于绝对，如Katmandu in Nepal就不临海岸；C项所述和原文相反；D项断章取义。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。通过讲述妹妹追求梦想的经历告诉我们：天赋很重要，但更重要的是热情。

1．A.advance C．reflect

B．quit D．listen

B 解析：根据上文的“How did she sound？Terrible.”可知，“我”妹妹的小提琴演奏得糟糕透了；结合本句的“But”表示的转折意义可知，但她没有放弃(quit)。

2．A.inspect C．attend

B．open D．visit

C 解析：根据上文可知，尽管妹妹的小提琴演奏得很糟糕，但是她仍不愿放弃；据此可以判断，本句句意为：在十二岁时，她问父母她是否可以去全日制的音乐学校上学。attend school为固定搭配，意为“上学”。

3．A.lacked C．possessed

B．spotted D．admired

A 解析：根据上文的“They said no.”和父母没有答应让她去全日制音乐学校学习可以判断，每个人都认为“我”的妹妹缺乏(lacked)天赋，故A项正确。

4．A.major C．composition

B．project D．instrument

D 解析：根据本段第三句的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知，“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师教“我”学钢琴；据此可以判断，与妹妹相比，“我”更擅长“我”的乐器。

5．A.patience C．potential

B．enthusiasm D．ambition

C 解析：根据下文的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知，“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师来教“我”学钢琴；据此可以判断，老师告诉父母说“我”很有潜能(potential)。A项意为“耐心”，B项意为“热情”，D项意为“抱负”，都与语境不符。

6．A.train C．correct

B．examine D．challenge

A 解析：参见上题解析。A项意为“培训，教育”；B项意为“检查”；C项意为“改正”；D项意为“挑战”。

7．A.punctual C．occupied

B．skillful D．available

D 解析：根据语境可知，钢琴老师只有每周六下午三点有空。D项意为“有空的”，
