The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.●Choose mindfully.

You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. __5__ You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.A.Visit during offpeak times.B.So, should we stop traveling?C.Travel for you and no one else.D.Can overtourism be avoided then?E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.F.You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.G.Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会——旅游——如何缓解过度旅游【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了缓解过度旅游的一些具体的方法:谨慎选择、有创造性、避开高峰期等。
备战2024年高考英语名校模拟真题速递()第一期专题06 七选五10篇(2024·浙江·统考模拟预测)When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 1Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make pleting homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student.2 The remended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13yearolds do more than 2 hours a night.3 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours.Doing homework all night can take away a student’s free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and afterschool activities. 4 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student’s time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school they might focus less or fall asleep during class.Shouldn’t students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends?5 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness!A.Lack of sleep can cause great stress.B.The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it.C.Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue.D.Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict.E.Homeworkrelated anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively.F.Kids are doing more than the remended amount with no academic benefits.G.Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems.(2023·浙江·校联考模拟预测)Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 6 Although everyone is different, there are mon threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 7 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 8 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 9 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”10People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A.Make a difference.B.It’s the purpose of life.C.Put others before yourself.D.So they live with certain moral principles.E.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F.Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G.To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.(2023·浙江绍兴·统考模拟预测)Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. 11 They are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous attack. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. 12 Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the blackmarket. 13 Many Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties.14 However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, but over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals.15 Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers.

Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.19 That is camping in a national park under a starfilled sky.

With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice onhow to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Get up close and personal.46 Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not e through on a puter screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? 47 What are they doing? How are they related?Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 48 That’s called anamorphic art.Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 49 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.Consider the subject of the art.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the workand perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination. 50A.So just keep an open mind.B.What have they gone through?C.When you stand to the side, it changes.D.How are the figures in the piece arranged?E.We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F.When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.G.It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.参考答案:1.G 2.F 3.B 4.D 5.C【导语】这是一篇说明文。

It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thanking.72 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal at time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的)exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking.

Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have 73What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances.
