International tourism is becoming more and more popular. Large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places, such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel(西斯廷教堂)in Vatican City. These visitors contribute (贡献)a lot to the local development, but at the same time they have caused many problems. They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage(破坏)to these places.

As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged because people breathe onto them when they visit. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is serious partly because tourists climb on delicate(脆弱的)areas. Even though some of the walls were built of stone, after so many years, they are already in poor condition and need to be rebuilt.

On the one hand, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. On the other hand, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. For example, special paths(路径)can be built and people will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks(面罩)to protect the paintings.

It is necessary to control tourism at famous places. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet. And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.

1.What does the underlined word “tourism” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?

A. 交流 B. 污染 C. 购物 D. 旅游

2.What causes the Sistine Chapel to be damaged?

A. People’s writing their names on its walls.

B. People’ s breathing onto the paintings.

C. People’ s drawing on the paintings.

D. People’ s climbing up its walls.

3.Which of the following can be put in ?

A. Why are these places so popular?

B. What has been done to protect these places?

C. What can we do to deal with these problems?

D. How much money is needed to rebuild these places?

4.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To predict the future of famous places.

B. To call on people to protect famous places.

C. To ask people to travel less during holidays.

D. To explain why international tourism is popular.

The Daming Temple

Initially(最初) built during the Daming Period of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, the Daming Temple lies on the hillside of the Shugang Ridge(山脊) in the northwest of Yangzhou. In the Sui Dynasty, the wonderful Qiling Tower was built at the site. In the Tang Dynasty, the abbot(住持) of the Daming Temple Jian Zhen sailed across to Japan to spread Buddhism. The Pingshan Hall was built here in the Song Dynasty The Daming Temple enjoyed its highest fame in the Qing dynasty

Further north stands the main hall of the temple, called the Mahavira Hall(大雄宝殿),which is a one-story building with a triple-eave roof(三重檐屋顶). To the east of the Daming Temple stands the high Qiling Tower. In the Tang Dynasty many a poet like Li Bai, Gao Shi, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi visited and climbed the tower and wrote verses. The present Qiling Tower, a nine-story structure reaching 70 metres in height, was rebuilt in 1995 in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

The main building of the Memorial Hall Of Master Jian Zhen is located to the northeast of the Mahavira Hall. Jian Zhen, a famous master of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, was a Yangzhou native.

When watching sports events, we often notice athletes wearing earphones before the competition. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems the music is giving them power and cheering them up for the competition. But is there any science behind such practices?

According to a new research, it turns out there is. Music makes us feel powerful, but not all songs have the same effect.

The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some songs, for example Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited’s Get Ready for This.

Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come first in competition.

That matters a lot in sports. “It’s commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental(心理的) and only 10 percent physical(身体的),” The Huffington Post reported.

Great athletes know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and even falls into deep thought to boost his game and reduce his anxiety(焦虑).

Why does music have magical power? Hsu’s team explained: when people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic (模拟) these feelings in their mind.

When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers.

In the research by the Music in Exercise and Sport Group at Brunel University in London, they found that pop was perfect for slower tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises, pop songs are the correct choice. Dance music was found to be best suitable for strength and weight training.

1.With the first paragraph, the writer mainly wants to ______.

A. prove the music can help athletes win the competition

B. describe athletes’ common habits before sports games

C. get readers to wonder whether music matters in sports

D. explain why athletes like listening to music before games

2.Which of the following might Dennis Hsu agree with?

A. Listening to music always makes an athlete come first in their competition.

B. People listening to powerful music may produce similar feelings in their mind.

C. Most athletes still don’t know the influence of high-power music on their games.

D. The result of a game is mainly influenced by the physical condition of the players.

3.What does the underlined word “boost” in the sixth paragraph probably mean?

A. control B. lose C. continue D. improve

4.The wrier makes his points clear mainly ______.

A. by comparing B. by giving examples

C. by giving general rules D. by using English sayings
