Passage 1

Ecotourism has been broadly defined as recreational travel that is focused on the natural environment and that seeks to minimize its impact on that environment.

However, there is little doubt that increasing numbers . of ecotourists also pose a threat to the quality and sustainability of natural ecosystems. Numerous accounts of tourists' "loving nature to death" have been reported, and concern is growing that ecotourism is becoming nothing more than a "green" label that dresses up exploitative and destructive human behavior. Despite widespread advocacy for education as a solution to minimizing ecotourists' impacts on the natural environment, few tests of the effectiveness of educational programs in controlling tourists' behavior have been conducted.

Passage 2

Although a substantial part of tourism is the "sun, surf, and sand" variety, the fastest-growing segment is ecotourism. There is, however, substantial concern about the potential negative impacts of ecotourism on the environment and about the necessity to plan and regulate ecotourism to prevent them. There clearly have been abuses and mismanaged activities. Better planning and regulation are essential. Yet ecotourism brings many people into environments in which they can learn about the locale and learn environmental principles that can heighten their awareness of and commitment to environmental protection in general. Increased emphasis on environmental learning as part of ecotourism could help prevent or reduce ecotourism's negative impacts.

答案分析：比如問題一是考察考生是否領(lǐng)會作者的意圖，即教育讀者們和大眾去共同愛護生態(tài)環(huán)境，不要因為愛自然而令自然死亡，很顯然答案就是D，第二道題目里面問的是passage1和passage2的區(qū)別那么可以看出第一篇文章突出強調(diào)的是生態(tài)旅游對自然環(huán)境日益增強的破壞性那么答案必然是D.
