27、Famous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.
Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, “We don’t want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion Euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city.”
Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their “Perspective 2030” report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” rather than “destination promoting”. The document also describes the country’s future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam’s livability will be severely influenced by “visitor overload” if action isn’t taken.
Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous “I Amsterdam” sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city’s main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various “lesser-known neighborhoods” in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.
But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, Van Loon fears Amsterdam has lost its uniqueness forever. “The reason tourists come here is that there’s something in the character of Amsterdam they love,” she explains. “But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place.”
【1】What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicate?
A.Venice is suffering from overtourism.
B.Amsterdam doesn’t necessarily copy Venice.
C.Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.
D.Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.
【2】Why did Amsterdam advice visitors to head elsewhere?
A.To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.
B.To turn the focus on destination promoting.
C.To promote the development of other areas.
D.To avoid much spending on city management.
【3】What does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Force
B.Persuade.
C.Inform.
D.Allow.
【4】What’sVan Loon’s attitude to the measure?
A.Positive.
B.Objective.
C.Skeptical.
D.Ambiguous.
28、“Join our exciting wildlife watching tours and experience the holiday of a lifetime!” Eco-wildlife tours like this are becoming more and more popular with tourists. The opportunity to see whales and dolphins swimming in their natural habitat is so much better than seeing these great mammals in zoos and aquariums. As your boat edges out into the blue water, a group of dolphins come to greet you and swim around the boat, jumping playfully around you. In some places, tour companies even encourage tourists to go swimming with the dolphins. These intelligent mammals seem to enjoy our company and interact with us. But is it possible that this kind of human activity putting their survival at risk?
A recent study has shown that the behavior of whales and dolphins changes greatly when they are close to boats. Interpreting the boats as a possible danger, they start to breathe more to breathe more quickly. The boats drive them away from the places where they feed and interrupt their routine of resting and taking care of their young. All of these factors could have a very negative effect on their general health. Another factor that should be taken into account is the effect of human attention on the animals. As they become more used to interacting with humans, they become less afraid of them. There have been several cases of tour boats running into dolphins or whales and causing their deaths. As dolphins live within close communities, events like these cause a lot of stress.
Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. We could do by keeping a minimum distance between the animals and the boats, and by limiting the number of boats out on the water at one time. Most importantly, instead of interrupting these animals’ routines, we should try to adapt to them. In this way, we could learn to exist in harmony with these wild animals and ensure our continued co-existence on the planet that we shall share.
【1】Why are Eco-wildlife tours increasingly popular?
A.Because they are widely advertised.
B.Because tourists can visit wild animals in nature.
C.Because wild animals enjoy our company.
D.Because visitors do not disturb wild animals.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards Eco-wildlife tours?
A.Interested.
B.Supportive.
C.Critical.
D.Confused.
【3】What can we learn from the recent study?
A.The visiting boats excite whales and dolphins.
B.Boats drive young whales and dolphins away from their parents.
C.Human’s attention benefits whales and dolphins a lot.
D.Getting too close to wild animals may cause trouble to them.
【4】What is suggested to stay in harmony with wild animals according to the text?
A.Making less interaction with them.
B.Keeping a minimum distance between boats.
C.Banning boats entering their habitat.
D.Making them adapt to our daily routine.
29、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Many times when children make a mistake,starting with breaking a window while playing football or skipping classes and ending with stealing something or fighting with another child,parents are always blamed by the society for not having known how to educate their offsprings(后代).The situation is not that easy to explain.
Parents always look for the best interest of their children and many times they are ready to take measures only for their sake.They know their children are suffering when they are forced to stay indoors or when they have no money,but they have to teach them a lesson so that they won’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again.When a child realizes that his father is talking seriously about him not being allowed to do something,he understands the seriousness of his deeds and he knows he will think twice before making the same mistake again.
These are the cases of the responsible parents,who suffer when they see that their children are not happy but who resist the temptation of forgiving them so easily so that they realize the gravity of their actions not only at present but also in the future.
On the other hand there are parents who always find excuses for their children’s behavior,who never consider they make mistakes or if they just do what they call “childish” things.

In 【2】 to the obvious language problems of living in a 【3】country, I certainly experienced culture shock when I was living in Paris.
