Like dog" s poop on city pavements, rubbish left behind by tourists at natural sites is disgust-ing.
The funny thing is nobody likes seeing such mess in the places they are visiting but it seems only few really care enough to keep the place tidy. The obvious result is that garbage has become a common sight in forests which attract tourists.
We are certain that in many places park rangers-despite their small numbers, incomparable to the tremendous tourist troops-are already doing the best they can. Sometimes, however, we be-lieve things could still be better.
Take the Thi- LOr-Su waterfall in Tak province for instance. One of the things about Thi-Lor-Su which we would like to talk about today is the commendable method of rubbish control at the waterfall.
There, food and drinks in commercial packaging are prohibited. The ban is enforced by requi- ring" that each and every visitor heading from the camping ground to the waterfall has to pass through a checkpoint where their bags are inspected and potential garbage is seized. The results have been amazing. Despite thousands of visitors, the l.5-kilometre trail to Thi-Lor-Su, as well as the waterfall itself, is almost free of garbage.
However, within the same forest, along the 16 kilometers of rough road from the Pha Luead checkpoint to the camping ground, the situation is completely different. Both sides of the road are littered with rubbish, from candy wrappers to Styrofoam food boxes to plastic water bottles. One contributing factor to the mess is that several tour operators use ordinary pick-up trucks to transport their clients in and out of the forest. The ordinary trucks often get stuck and tourists are forced to walk the rest of the distance-which can be several kilometers. And, as you would expect, there are more inconsiderate tourists than conscientious ones. Along the way, people eat and throw rubbish.
One solution to this problem is to encourage tour operators to use proper vehicles. Either that or put off traveling into the forest until the road is really dry and passable.
56.How does the writer feel about the fact that people hate to see rubbish but still throw it carelessly ?
[ A ] Their behavior. is ridiculous.
[ B ] Their behavior. is immoral.
[ C ] Their behavior. is foolish.
[ D ] Their behavior. is illegal.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:A
参考译文像城市街道上狗的大便一样,自然风景区中被游客丢弃的垃圾同样是令人厌恶的。有趣的是没有人喜欢在自己游玩的地方看到这些垃圾,但是好像真正细心地保持景点卫生的却没有几个人。这样做很明显的后果就是在那些引人入胜的森林地区垃圾遍地成了常事。我们相信,在大多数的地方,景点管理员——尽管人数不多,不能和来玩的游客人数相比较——都是兢兢业业、努力完成自己的工作的。尽管如此,有时候我们相信事情能更好点。拿塔克省的池老粟瀑布作一个例子,今天我们关于这个瀑布想讲的事情之一就是如何控制垃圾的一些值得推荐的办法。在那里,商业包装的食品和饮料都是被禁止的。每一个从露营点来这里旅行的游客都得经过一个检查关口。在那里他们的包将会被搜查,可能产生的垃圾都会被收缴。通过这项措施,禁止垃圾的规定得到了实施。结果是很让人吃惊的。尽管有大量的游客,但在通往瀑布的1.5公里的道路上以及瀑布本身却一点垃圾也没有。但是,同样是这片森林,从沿着法鲁得检查站到露营点的16公里弯路上却完全是另一番情形。道路两边遍布着垃圾,从糖果纸,食品泡沫盒子到装水的塑料瓶子。导致垃圾的一个关键的因素就是几个旅游团使用普通的卡车接送旅客出入森林。而这种卡车经常卡住,所以乘客们不得不走完剩下的好几公里旅程。当然,正如你所想象的,很多旅客沿着道路吃东西’,然后将垃圾扔到路边,当然这些人大部分都是不经意的而非存心的。解决这些问题的一个办法就是鼓励这些旅游团使用合适的交通工具,或者是直到道路干燥可以通行后才允许进入森林。56.A【精析】细节题。从文中第二段第一句话“Thefunnythingisno-bodylikesseeingsuchmessintheplacestheyarevisitingbutitseemsonlyfewreallycareenoughtokeeptheplacetidy.”可知,很多游客的做法是很荒唐可笑的。所以正确的答案为A
