1、单元测试-Unit 4 Wildlife protection题号一二三四五总分得分一、阅读理解A One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees t
2、he building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on earth”. However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick
3、money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education.
4、Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploit
5、ation (开发) of precious trees and plants. Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-
6、national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.

8、sit but also its people. The way tourism is handled (处理) in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve (保护)

58、ggerIt -themMousemiceeats -eat38.【答案】Dear editor, As we know, the number of wild animals is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are even dying out. The reasons are as follows: To start with, people have been cutting down tress for building, causing some animals to lose their habitats. Besides
59、, farmers use too much pesticide, which endangers the lives of some animals. In addition, to make money, some people have been killing rare wild animals. In my opinion, its time we took immediate measures to change the situation. We shouldnt cut down trees without permission. Instead, we are supposed to plant more trees to protect the animalsliving conditions. At the same time, more nature reserves are expected to be set up. I believe as long as we take action immediately, we will live in harmony with animals and life will become better. Li Hua
