Providing five-star luxury (豪华) in the m...

    Providing five-star luxury (豪华) in the middle of a treasured wilderness without damaging the environment might not be easy, but it is far from impossible. The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest proves that if enough care and attention is taken, the task is within the reach of any tourist provider.

Unlike many other hotel building projects, no trees were cut down and no land was wasted in order to build it. The Lodge does not have the same location but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May, till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane. Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% conservation tax, but is rewarded by the chance to sight whales and bears. And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge, the management is well aware that in order to stay in business they must leave the area untouched.

In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native Gitga’ at people. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge recognizes the native tribe (部落) as the owners of the land, pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people. They, in turn, teach the newcomers about the local culture.

The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that go beyond only minimizing (把……减至最小程度) their environmental effect to win the approval (批准) of the local community where they set up their business. These companies use environmentally friendly solution to problems, and are careful to limit their use of resources and protect threatened species. Realizing how destructive (破坏性的) tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism and leave a lighter environmental footprint.

1.What can we learn about the King Pacific Lodge?

A.It is located in an area without any trees.

B.It can be moved from place to place.

C.Guests have to pay extra for the flight to get there.

D.Guests can take part in conservation programs.

2.What do we know about the Lodge management?

A.It cooperates with the native people.

B.It wants to borrow the land from the native people.

C.It does not care about the local culture.

D.It seldom considers protecting the environment.

3.According to the text, the tourist industry_________.

A.has a disagreement with the local communities

B.can limit the danger it does to the environment

C.ignore the importance of environmentally friendly tourism

D.will always do harm to the environment

 

1.B 2.A 3.B 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了King Pacific Lodge绿色环保旅游。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段的The Lodge does not have the same location but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May, till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane.(旅馆没有相同的位置,但五月到九月在一艘漂浮的船上。那些想住在它的十七个房间之一的人必须乘船或水上飞机从海上进入它)可知,he King Pacific Lodge在船上,可以从一个地方到另一个地方。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第一段的 In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native Gitga’at people by whom they were later adopted. Together they work for the benefit of the area.(2000年,Lodge管理层与当地的Gitga签订了一项协议,协议后来被采用。他们一起为该地区的利益而工作) 可知,Lodge管理与当地人合作。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的These companies use environmentally friendly solutions to problems, and are careful to limit their use of resources and protect threatened species. Realizing how destructive tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism and leave a lighter environmental footprint.(这些公司使用环境友好的解决方案来解决问题,并谨慎地限制其资源的使用和保护受威胁的物种。他们意识到旅游业的破坏性有多大,他们想要避免旅游的“爱死”效应,留下更轻的环境足迹)可推断,旅游业其实可以限制其对环境的破坏的。故选B。

I'm Li Hua, president of English Club in Hongshui High School. Know that you are leaving for Britain, I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for that you did as our foreign teacher.

Honestly speaking, some activities hold by our club would not have being so successful without your help. When we were preparing for the English Drama Competition, you offered plenty of advices about students’ English pronunciations as well as how to perform in a impressive way, which greatly improved their confidence on the stage. However, inspired by you, we organized several English Movie Nights when students could watch English movies with you and discuss in English afterwards. Not only they practice their spoken English, but also they had a better understanding of foreign cultures.

Now, face with your leaving, I hope you will have a great life back in your hometown. We will miss you a lot of. Take care!
