I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began—it’s something that has always been there,even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go.I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water.Unfortunately,or perhaps fortunately,my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea,but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor(精神支柱) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is not only vast,splendid and wild but also friendly,fun and diverse.I travelled there by myself at the age of 20,planning to spend my 21st birthday camping and hiking in the forest.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water.Behind me,the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged.Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore.It seemed there was no way in.This wilderness held its secrets close.Stepping from the beach into the forest,I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient,and it was impossible not to be humbled.
With a guide for safety,I hiked a few miles through the wilderness.The sounds of the forest were everywhere.Birds sang.Insects buzzed.Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead and listened.My heart was in my mouth.Then,after some invisible signal,my guide relaxed,and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breathtaking view I’ve ever seen.I was from terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps.It was that sense of unsettled ground—of shifting emotion,secrets and awe,beauty and fear—that has fed my writing across four books and instilled in me a lifelong love of the wild.
(　　)4.What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Stimulated. [B] Ended. [C] Supported. [D] Proved.
(　　)5.What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” in Paragraph 3 convey

“For thousands of years,humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak,cross a frontier,or document a new species or landscape.Now in some cases,we’re racing to be the last,” said a journalist Paige McClanahan.
In recent years,a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change — last-chance tourism.According to a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company, last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise,this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef,an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.
As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations,some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness.One tourist spot,the Sea of Ice in France,opened an exhibit in 2021 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change.This educational push seems to be having an impact,as a 2023 survey showed that 80% of the visitors would try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it while 77% said that they would reduce their water and energy use.
However,the last-chance tourism industry may become kind of our concern.As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone,they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and overtourism,leading to their destruction.Just as many scholars put it,last-chance tourism is a paradox (悖论).
Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change,it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet.It’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it’s even more important to avoid making it worse.
(　　)8.What does the author intend to do by quoting Paige McClanahan’s words
[A] To highlight the value of being a journalist.
[B] To recall and memorize the good old days.
[C] To channel readers’ awareness to climate change.
[D] To introduce the subject of last-chance tourism.
(　　)9.What may be considered as last-chance tourism
[A] Visiting the Confucius Temple in China.
[B] Taking an adventurous trip to the depths of the ocean.
[C] Climbing the snow-covered mountain of Kilimanjaro.
[D] Admiring the unique Spanish architecture at Cusco,Peru.
(　　)10.What does the underlined word “imperiled” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean
[A] Popular. [B] Remote. [C] Endangered. [D] Preserved.
(　　)11.Which of the following statements best describes last-chance tourism
[A] It’s a double-edged sword.
[B] It’s a stone to kill two birds.
[C] It’s a life jacket in the stormy sea.
[D] It’s a dream that will never come true.

“For thousands of years,humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak,cross a frontier,or document a new species or landscape.Now in some cases,we’re racing to be the last,” said a journalist Paige McClanahan.
In recent years,a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change — last-chance tourism.According to a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company, last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise,this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef,an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.

(　　)8.What does the author intend to do by quoting Paige McClanahan’s words
[A] To highlight the value of being a journalist.
[B] To recall and memorize the good old days.
[C] To channel readers’ awareness to climate change.
[D] To introduce the subject of last-chance tourism.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段的第一句可知,通过引用Paige McClanahan的话,作者引出了主题,即由于气候变化而催生的“最后一次机会的旅游”。故选D。
(　　)9.What may be considered as last-chance tourism
[A] Visiting the Confucius Temple in China.
[B] Taking an adventurous trip to the depths of the ocean.
[C] Climbing the snow-covered mountain of Kilimanjaro.
[D] Admiring the unique Spanish architecture at Cusco,Peru.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句以及常识可知,乞力马扎罗山由于全球变暖,冰雪覆盖正在消退,这符合“最后一次机会的旅游”的定义。故选C。
(　　)10.What does the underlined word “imperiled” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean
[A] Popular. [B] Remote. [C] Endangered. [D] Preserved.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第三段中画线词所在句及下文语境可知,游客正在涌向那些由于气候变化而面临威胁的景点,由此可推知,imperiled意为“濒危的”。故选C。
(　　)11.Which of the following statements best describes last-chance tourism

[B] It’s a stone to kill two birds.
[C] It’s a life jacket in the stormy sea.
[D] It’s a dream that will never come true.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知,“最后一次机会的旅游”虽然能提高环境保护意识,但大量游客的涌入也加剧了温室气体排放和过度旅游,反而可能导致这些景点的进一步破坏。这是一把双刃剑,既有正面影响,也有负面影响。故选A。

I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began—it’s something that has always been there,even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go.I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water.Unfortunately,or perhaps fortunately,my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea,but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor(精神支柱) in my life and in my writing.
The Great Bear Rainforest is not only vast,splendid and wild but also friendly,fun and diverse.I travelled there by myself at the age of 20,planning to spend my 21st birthday camping and hiking in the forest.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water.Behind me,
the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged.Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore.It seemed there was no way in.This wilderness held its secrets close.Stepping from the beach into the forest,I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient,and it was impossible not to be humbled.
With a guide for safety,I hiked a few miles through the wilderness.The sounds of the forest were everywhere.Birds sang.Insects buzzed.Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead and listened.My heart was in my mouth.Then,after some invisible signal,my guide relaxed,and we went on.
We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breathtaking view I’ve ever seen.I was from terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps.It was that sense of unsettled ground—of shifting emotion,secrets and awe,beauty and fear—that has fed my writing across four books and instilled in me a lifelong love of the wild.

“For thousands of years,humans have raced to be the first to climb a peak,cross a frontier,or document a new species or landscape.Now in some cases,we’re racing to be the last,” said a journalist Paige McClanahan.
In recent years,a growing industry has been stimulated by climate change — last-chance tourism.According to a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company,last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise,this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef,an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.
As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations,some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness.One tourist spot,the Sea of Ice in France,opened an exhibit in 2021 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change.This educational push seems to be having an impact,as a 2023 survey showed that 80% of the visitors would try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it while 77% said that they would reduce their water and energy use.
However,the last-chance tourism industry may become kind of our concern.As more and more people flood into these areas in a panic to see them before they are gone,they in fact contribute to the increased greenhouse gas emissions and overtourism,leading to their destruction.Just as many scholars put it,last-chance tourism is a paradox (悖论).
Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change,it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to the future of our planet.It’s not just about understanding the need to stop climate change; it’s even more important to avoid making it worse.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新兴产业——最后一次机会的旅游。
(　　)8.What does the author intend to do by quoting Paige McClanahan’s words
[A] To highlight the value of being a journalist.
[B] To recall and memorize the good old days.
[C] To channel readers’ awareness to climate change.
[D] To introduce the subject of last-chance tourism.
D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段的第一句可知,通过引用Paige McClanahan的话,作者引出了主题,即由于气候变化而催生的“最后一次机会的旅游”。故选D。
(　　)9.What may be considered as last-chance tourism
[A] Visiting the Confucius Temple in China.
[B] Taking an adventurous trip to the depths of the ocean.
[C] Climbing the snow-covered mountain of Kilimanjaro.
[D] Admiring the unique Spanish architecture at Cusco,Peru.
C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句以及常识可知,乞力马扎罗山由于全球变暖,冰雪覆盖正在消退,这符合“最后一次机会的旅游”的定义。故选C。
(　　)10.What does the underlined word “imperiled” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean
[A] Popular. [B] Remote.
[C] Endangered. [D] Preserved.
C
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第三段中画线词所在句及下文语境可知,游客正在涌向那些由于气候变化而面临威胁的景点,由此可推知,imperiled意为“濒危的”。故选C。

[A] It’s a double-edged sword.
[B] It’s a stone to kill two birds.
[C] It’s a life jacket in the stormy sea.
[D] It’s a dream that will never come true.
A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知,“最后一次机会的旅游”虽然能提高环境保护意识,但大量游客的涌入也加剧了温室气体排放和过度旅游,反而可能导致这些景点的进一步破坏。这是一把双刃剑,既有正面影响,也有负面影响。故选A。
