    Top Eco Destinations in the World for 2008

    Have you spent hours searching the web for an eco-friendly holiday that suits your budget or ideals? Then look no further because online travel planning resource, Professional Travel Guide, recently revealed(透露) their top choices for eco-travelers this year. Here are just some of their recommendations:

    1. Africa: Madagascar

    Home to a variety of animals found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar is a must-go destination for anyone interested in the natural world. Lemurs(狐猴) and baobab trees account for just some of the unique flora(植物群) and fauna(动物群) entrapped on this wonderful island.

    2. America: St John (US Virgin Islands)

    Though it’s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape. Virgin Islands National Park makes up two-thirds of its landmass, where visitors can hike in deep ravines(山谷), over tropical mountains and across arid coastal areas. Don’t overlook the beaches and coral reefs it’s a Caribbean island.

    3. Europe：Iceland

    As one might expect from a country whose name is “ice”, Iceland’s landscape is rugged（崎岖不平的）and harsh（粗糙的）. Take a hike past lava fields, glaciers and waterfalls and marvel at the wildlife (puffins) and natural wonders (hot springs and geysers) akin to this barren landscape. Visit between fall and spring to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

     

    72. We learn from the text that Professional Travel Guide is ____________.

    D. To introduce the benefit of traveling at weekends.

    72. A. 推理判断题。根据文章的第一段的第二句话推测，Professional Travel Guide可提供在线的旅游计划资源，因此它应该是一家提供旅游咨讯的网站。

    73. C. 在文章推荐的第二处旅游景点(美属)维尔京群岛中，第一句话Though it’s the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a remarkably varied landscape表明维尔京群岛景色非常美丽，而且景色多变。接着具体描述了该群岛具体有国家保护区、游客可看到山谷、热带山脉及海滨等。

    74. D. 细节理解题。根据第三处景点“Europe：Iceland”介绍的最后一句话可知，在春秋季节去冰岛旅游可以看到北极光。

    A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
    French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
    The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
    “Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
    A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
    But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
    Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
    【小题1】We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.

    A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
    B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
    C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
    D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
    【小题2】According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
    A．they want to be eco-friendly B．they want to save money
    C．it is encouraged by websites D．it is a new fashion in Europe
    【小题3】 All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
    A．a theatre ticket
    B．a second-hand book
    C．a nearly-new digital toaster
    D．a box of heavily packaged chocolate
    【小题4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts.
    B．People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn.
    C．Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays.
    D．In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays
