A。旅游对增进民族了解毫无建树。第二段开始点出，很多旅游组织直接负责旅游事宜，他们有意识不让旅游者接触当地居民，让他们过着一种关心备至又
22、与世隔绝的生活。住的是国际饭店，吃的是国际食品，喝的是国际饮料，在原处观看当地居民。严格有序的打算使旅游者难以自己一人闲逛，语言的障碍，又使他们愿意接受爱护。第三段涉及坚持民族模式化老一套的想法，所以一开始旅游，你见到的民族特性就只是证明了你自己设想的基本领实全部人民都是人类。只有交伴侣才能知道民族模式是多么荒谬、有害，可是旅行社竭力制止，你又怎么能交上外国伴侣呢?这一切说明A项对。 B.旅游很累。C.导游观光很单调乏味。D.旅游的确对国家有奉献。 2. C。批判。 3. B。吵吵闹闹的。 4. B。旅游的方式应转变。整篇文章除第一段外都环绕旅游方式不理想来进行批判。第二段集中在导游观光使旅游
23、者难以和当地人民接触。第三段，见到的只是证明了旅游者本人事先形成的思想/先入之见，旅游根本达不到了解对方的目的。第四段讲了民族固定模式先入之见的模式的可怕后果。要使人懂得全部的人们都是人类，彼此相像，又各具特点，就得转变旅游的方式。 A.导游观光令人绝望。C.旅游时，你见到的 特性证明了你的先入之见。D.民族模式应当转变。这三条都是批判的具体内容。 5. D。人人都能享受大旅游。大旅行是专指英国富家子弟上学中的一门课程-到欧洲大陆观光。不是人人都能享受。这里用grand tour表示人人都能享受类似grand tour的一切，甚至超过，如第一段指出：现代旅游者享受的舒适设施，到达了大旅行中老爷、小姐们做梦都没有想到的水平。海陆空高级沟通联络通讯系统，使人们有可能钱花得不多就能访问、观光别的国家。所以说，曾是有钱人专享的大旅行，一般人也能领会。;grand tour;有引号，说明作为比方。 A.费用不高。文内是费用合适、中等、恰当。B.当地观光受组织审查。C.人们喜爱一流舒适设施。 PREV ARTICLE2023专八作文范文农民工NEXT ARTICLE托福听力高频词汇文学美学类
