共用题干 Touring the Antarctic Brings Danger1 Ship tourism to Antarctica is on the rise.More than 35,000 tourists are expected to visit Antarctica this spring and summer. In 1992一1993,6,750 visited Antarctica,according to the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat. All of this tourism,however,is posing great danger to both tourists and the environment.2 Among the tourist ships that visit the continent,the Explorer,a Canadian ship,was one of the first. Launched in 1969,it was built to ferry tourists to Antarctica.Last week,however,it became the first commer- cial passenger ship to sink beneath the polar region's waters.Fortunately,all of the passengers and crew members were evacuated（撤离）from the ship. However , the sunken ship threatens the Antarctic'S fragile environment.The ship was estimated to be holding 48,000 gallons of marine diesel fuel.3 The accident was not unanticipated.Both the US and the UK had warned at a conference of Antarc- tic treaty nations in May that the tourism situation in the region was a potential disaster. The US said in a pa- per,"People should take a hard look at tourism issues now,especially those related to vessel safety.""The increasing number of ships operating in Antarctica means that ships are under greater pressures to meet the time slots for visiting key sites,"the British government wrote in a paper at the meeting of treaty nations.4 Although the Antarctic seas are relatively calm,floating ice poses a potential threat to ships.The owner of the Explorer attributed the sinking to a fist-size hole in the hull created by ice.Many of the other large cruise ships now visiting Antarctica have little or no ice reinforcement in their designs.Such ships generally can only come to the continent at the height of summer. But the tourist rush is pushing vessels into dangerous situations.5 As a natural frontier,Antarctica is in a legal muddle.There are no obvious answers as to who is re- sponsible for dealing with the threat that tourism may cause to human life and the environment.6 Jim Barnes,executive director of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition,told the New York Times,"There'S no military or coast guard for Antarctica."He asked,"Do we want this(the Antarctic)to become Disneyland,or do we want some controls?"The accident of the Explorer's sinking is__________.A:safeB:being hit by floating iceC:pollute the seaD:foreseenE:unclearF:dealing with the threat

共用题干 Living History at Jamestown SettlementA woman in Native American clothes is sitting in the sun,sewing a dress from skin.Inside a building,a colonist is making a wooden chair,using very simple tools.And all around,tourists are taking pictures with their digital（数码的）cameras. This is Jamestown settlement today.Jamestown,Virginia,was one of the first place in the world where people from Europe, American,and Africa came together in 1608 .Today,it is a living history museum,where chil- dren and adults come to experience history. In a living history museum,actors wear clothes and adults form the past and demonstrate many of the activities of daily life back then.The actors also talk to the visitors and explain everything they do.At a living history museum,there are always many things to touch,hear,and smell. Visitors at Jamestown settlement can walk through copies of the three small sailing ships that carried colo-nists to Virginia and even lie down in a colonist's bed!The colonists stayed on the crowed,dan-gerous ships for more than four months.When they got to Virginia,they built an area of houses with a high wall around it. In today's fort(堡垒）,you can see houses, a church, and even a gar-den with foods that the colonists ate.Women in long dresses work inside their homes,and visitors can help them with their sewing and cooking.There is also an Indian Village at Jamestown settlement,and it books very different from the fort. It shows how the Indians lived in long houses and grew corn and other crops in large fields. Actors there make pottery（陶器）and teach visitors how to play Indian games. You can even help them make an India boat from a tree!Today,the living history museum of Jamestown is very popular,especially with children and families.People come here to have fun,but also to learn.
