[教材原句P44] Standing in the distance，they were astonished to see misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls，which is on the south side of the lake.
站在远处，她们看到湖南边的尼亚加拉大瀑布上升腾而起的水雾，惊叹不已。
[结构分析] 此句是复合句。Standing in the distance是动词-ing形式作状语；see misty clouds rising为“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，此结构中宾语补足语既可以是不带to的动词不定式，也可以是现在分词和过去分词；which引导的是非限制性定语从句。

see sb/sth doing 看到动作正在进行 I saw him playing in the park.我看见他正在公园里玩。
see sb/sth done 看到某人/某物被…… I saw him knocked down by a car.我看见他被一辆小汽车撞倒了。
which引导的是非限制性定语从句。
点津：除see外，hear，notice，observe，watch，feel等感官类动词也有类似用法。不带to的不定式作宾语补足语时，如果变成被动句，需加上to；现在分词和过去分词作宾语补足语时，如果变成被动句，则不需要变化。

Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community.This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island.The island，made up of plants and trees，sometimes floats around the lake，causing a major inconvenience by blocking(阻塞) an important bridge.Later，the local people came up with a solution to this problem.Every year，local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了位于威斯康星州奇珀瓦湖的一个自然奇观——巨大的漂浮岛屿。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog(沼泽) was changed through flooding.Soon after that，many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing places for plants，with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place.Over the years，these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands.As time goes by，plants take root，and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails(船帆) when the wind blows，moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years-old floating island does not relocate(重新迁移) so often，when it does，it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake’s East and West sides.The only solution is to gather a group of boats，and not just one or two，but dozens of boats working together to push the island away.“It takes a community’s effort，and you must have the winds at your back to push them in，” said a resident.Moving the island also requires precision(精确)，as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem.However，the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years，and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home.Therefore，local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won’t do harm to wildlife，paying more attention to the fine-drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection.The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature，a heartwarming display of community unity，and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.

This summer，Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism(过度旅游).As many destinations move to restrict，fine and protest tourists for bad behavior，Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哥本哈根正在尝试不同的方法，将旅游业从负面力量转变为积极力量。
Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay，a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors，such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts.These include free coffee and free museum tours.Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aar -Hansen，CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen，says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it.It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into “a force for positive change.”
He adds，“An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around on the destination，what we consume，and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainable report from a London-based market research group,81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably，but only 22% have changed their behavior.Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior.“We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives，other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior，ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagen’s strategy work？Only time will tell.Still，Randy Durband，chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council，believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
5.How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism
A.By rewarding tourists for their green actions.
B.By providing free public transport for tourists.
C.By charging a heavy fine for tourists’ bad behavior.
D.By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...introduced CopenPay，a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors，such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts.”可知，哥本哈根为从事气候友好行为的旅行者提供各种礼物和福利，即哥本哈根通过奖励游客的绿色行动来应对过度旅游。故选A。
解析
6.What is CopenPay intended for
A.Improving the city’s image.
B.Promoting sustainable tourism.
C.Increasing income from tourism.
D.Enriching tourists’ travel experiences.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it.It aims to help transform tourism from ‘an environmental burden’ into ‘a force for positive change.’”可知，CopenPay的目的是促进更好的旅游方式，促进可持续旅游业发展。故选B。
解析
7.What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aar -Hansen
A.It only works for a small number of tourists.
B.It pushes the development of global tourism.
C.It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives.
D.It has inspired many cities to follow its example.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior，ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”可知，根据Mikkel Aar -Hansen所说，这一举措和其他举措的成功能够使其他城市受到启发，找到鼓励更可持续的旅游行为的方法，即CopenPay有望推广绿色旅游的举措。故选C。
解析
8.What is Randy Durband’s attitude towards CopenPay
A.Disapproving. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncaring. D.Positive.
√

[教材原句P44]Standing in the distance，they were astonished to see misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls，which is on the south side of the lake.
站在远处，她们看到湖南边的尼亚加拉大瀑布上升腾而起的水雾，惊叹不已。
[结构分析]此句是复合句。Standing in the distance是动词-ing形式作状语；see misty clouds rising为“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，此结构中宾语补足语既可以是不带to的动词不定式，也可以是现在分词和过去分词；which引导的是非限制性定语从句。

see sb/sth doing 看到动作正在进行 I saw him playing in the park.我看见他正在公园里玩。

A
Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community.This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island.The island，made up of plants and trees，sometimes floats around the lake，causing a major inconvenience by blocking(阻塞) an important bridge.Later，the local people came up with a solution to this problem.Every year，local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog(沼泽) was changed through flooding.Soon after that，many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing places for plants，with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place.Over the years，these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands.As time goes by，plants take root，and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails(船帆) when the wind blows，moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years-old floating island does not relocate(重新迁移) so often，when it does，it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake’s East and West sides.The only solution is to gather a group of boats，and not just one or two，but dozens of boats working together to push the island away.“It takes a community’s effort，and you must have the winds at your back to push them in，” said a resident.Moving the island also requires precision(精确)，as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem.However，the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years，and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home.Therefore，local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won’t do harm to wildlife，paying more attention to the fine-drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection.The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature，a heartwarming display of community unity，and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.

This summer，Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism(过度旅游)．As many destinations move to restrict，fine and protest tourists for bad behavior，Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay，a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors，such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts.These include free coffee and free museum tours.Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aar -Hansen，CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen，says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it.It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into “a force for positive change.” He adds，“An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around on the destination，what we consume，and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainable report from a London-based market research group,81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably，but only 22% have changed their behavior.Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior.“We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives，other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior，ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagen’s strategy work？Only time will tell.Still，Randy Durband，chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council，believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
