17、e no impact at all on dying early,and neither did playing football or rugby.Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis and squash(壁球),which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game.It means that people often have larger

24、 each other.One of them has a deadly weapon hanging casually on his shoulder.This powerful image has made people question the motivation for this kind of tourism,or ecotourism.Does our proximity(接近) to large animals in the wild,frequently fueled by a desire for exciting images,lead to such animals b
25、ecoming accustomed to human contact?If that is the case,surely the losing side will end up paying the ultimate price for such proximity.To my sorrow,I have recently returned from a trip to Svalbard,and indeed stood two weeks ago on the very beach where the bear was shot.The bears death should never
26、have happened.Was the beach examined beforehand?Was there access to flares (照明弹) to scare off a bear that appeared suddenly?These are standard measures for any operator.The incident is probably the result of a terrible systematic failure.Nevertheless,the incident should not negate the value of ecoto
27、urism.In its best form,this kind of travel has very little impact,or indeed has a positive effect,on the environment where it takes place.This can be by making financial donations to conservation groups,providing income to local communities,or ensuring protection of certain areas or animals.In Svalb
28、ard,visitors become ambassadors for the endangered polar bear,increasing awareness of the fact that the far greater danger they are facing is the sea ice melt in the Arctic Ocean.Ecotourism is an expanding market that brings benefits as well as challenges to the regions around the world in which it
29、operates.Simply closing off these regions is not the answer.12.Why was the polar bear dead?A.It was probably hunted for its fur by tourists.B.It was probably frightened to death by flares.C.The proper procedures werent probably followed.D.The beach wasnt probably equipped with safety devices.13.What
30、 is the third paragraph mainly about?A.Ecotourism could be developed properly.B.Financial donations should be strongly advocated.C.Environmental awareness has greatly increased.D.Visitors have a guilty conscience about ecotourism.14.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?A.M
