16、in the wilderness. The animals are becoming restless. Polar bears and penguins, dolphins and dingoes, even birds in the rainforest are becoming stressed. They are losing weight, with some dying as a result. The cause is a pursuit intended to have the opposite effect: ecotourism. 1. 1 Ecotourism has
17、clear benefits. Poor countries that are rich in biodiversity benefit from the money tourists bring in, supposedly without damaging the environment. “Ecotourism is an alternative activity to overuse of natural resources,“ says Geoffrey Howard of the East Africa office of IUCN (the World Conservation
18、Union) in Nairobi, Kenya. “Many of our projects encourage ecotourism so that rural people can make a living out of something apart from using too much of the forests or fisheries or wetlands.“ 2. 2 What is not considered are less obvious impacts. “Transmission of disease to wildlife, or subtle chang
19、es to wildlife health through disturbance of daily routines or increased stress levels, while not apparent to a casual observer, may translate to lowered survival and breeding,“ says Philip Seddon of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. 3. 3 Such changes in behaviour “are potentially ser
20、ious for the population“, says Gordon Hastie, a marine mammal expert at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Hastie and his team have found that dolphins in the Moray Firth in Scotland spend significantly more time surfacing synchronously in the presence of boats than they do oth
21、erwise. This could lead to the animals resting more at night, possibly reducing the time they spend socialising and foraging. 4. 4 Markus Dyck and Richard Baydack of the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, have found that signs of vigilance among male bears increased nearly sevenfold when vehicles wer
22、e around. Just one vehicle could disturb the bears. 5. 5 Such effects are seen among yellow-eyed penguins in the Otago peninsula in New Zealand. Observations by Seddon“s team, also to be published in Biological Conservation, show that chicks in areas frequently visited by tourists weigh on average 0
23、.76 kilograms less than chicks in an area not visited, a fall of over 10 per cent. This could be a result of parents taking longer to reach the chicks after they finish foraging at sea. “Yellow-eyed penguins tend to delay landing if people are clearly visible at their beach landing sites,“ says Sedd
24、on. “Penguins will run back into the sea if approached on the beach, and will wait beyond the breakers until a beach is clear.“ Such delays could mean that the birds digest some of the food that they would otherwise regurgitate to feed their chicks. Seddon found that the lighter chicks were less lik
25、ely to survive, and he fears that heavy tourist traffic could ultimately spark the failure of a colony. A For instance, Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and her colleagues have been monitoring schools of bottlenose dolphins along the country“s north-eastern coast sinc
26、e 1996. In an upcoming paper in Biological Conservation, they report that the dolphins become increasingly frenetic when tourist boats are present. They rest for as little as 0.5 per cent of the time when three or more boats are close, compared with 68 per cent of the time in the presence of a singl
27、e research boat. B Like dolphins, the bears may pay a heavy price for such altered behaviour. The tourist visits could be increasing the animals“ heart rates and metabolism when they ought to be conserving their energy, and this could be reducing their body fat and individual fitness, the researcher
28、s argue. “For slow-breeding animals the effects could take years to detect, by which time it may be too late to reverse the damage,“ says Constantine. C The massive growth of the ecotourist industry has biologists worried. Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their
29、backyard. The immediate effects can be subtle - changes to an animal“s heart rate, physiology, stress hormone levels and social behaviour, for example - but in the long term the impact tourists are having could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. D Ecotourism can have an eve
30、n more detrimental effect in the wilderness regions of Africa and South America. “In more remote places such as the Amazon, there“s not much control,“ says ecologist Martin Wikelski of Princeton University in New Jersey. E Land animals are affected too. Since the early 1980s, specialised vehicles ha
31、ve been taking people to watch polar bears during October and November in Manitoba, Canada, a time when the animals should be resting and waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze over so they can start hunting seals. But often the bears are not resting as they should. F But while the IUCN and other organisa
32、tions, and governments of nations such as New Zealand and Australia, try to ensure that their projects are ecologically feasible, many ecotourist projects are unaudited, unaccredited and merely hint they are based on environmentally friendly policies and operations. The guidelines that do exist most
33、ly address the obvious issues such as changes in land use, cutting down trees, making tracks, or scaring wildlife.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_六、Exercise 3 Speaking(总题数：1，分数：5.00)2.price location service surroundings facilities reputation （分数：5.00）_七、Exercise 4 Writing(总题数：1，分数：25.00

This was to be no tourist trip. Starting in The Gamb
43、ia, Fremantle makes a remarkable journey through West Africa, covering more than 3,200 kilometres in three months. He travels variously by donkey and cart, dugout canoe, on foot with a wayward ox and by bus with a hash-dealing driver before finally arriving in Nigeria. In the book, Fremantle provide
44、s a vivid snapshot of modern West Africa, telling the stories of the people he meets, from a lovelorn Senegalese prostitute and Bozo fisherman with a megawatt grin to a dignified Tuareg tribesman keen to keep his ancient traditions alive. The book is part adventure, part historical tale, with Freman
45、tle slipping skilfully between present-day narrative and Park“s journey in 1795 as an eager young man commissioned by the African Association to unlock the mysteries of the River Niger. He tells Park“s tale of ambush, starvation and disease with well-researched simplicity, right the way through to h
46、is return home as a celebrity in 1797, only to fall victim to his own success and die on his second expedition, in 1805. It“s no easy task blending a historical journey into a modern-day setting, but Freemantle succeeds in doing just that, writing with a depth and perception that makes the book a fa
47、scinating read. B Book2 Italian photographer travels the length of the Ganges, takes lots of great photos and the publisher packages it all up in its much-copied coffee-table style. And that should be the end of the story. But it isn“t, because Aldo Pavan“s photographs are almost as extraordinary as
48、 the subject matter he has so evocatively recorded. These days, photo essays about the Ganges are commonplace, and so are the images of buffalo, ritual ablutions, crumbling architecture, terraced paddies and cannabis-smoking sadhus that make up the stereotype. And, admittedly, all that stock fodder is here - it would be difficult to photograph the progress of the river without including it - but Pavan goes out of his way to make his images deviate from the norm. His experiments with focus and composition are quite daring, even if they aren“t always successful. The result is a curious sp
