The animals are becoming restless. Polar bears and
17、 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. _Ecotourism has clear benefits. Poor countries that are rich in biodiversity benefit fr
18、om 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 Union) in Nairobi, Kenya.“Many of our projects encourage ecotourism so
19、that rural people can make a living out of something apart from using too much of the forests or fisheries or wetlands.“2. _What is not considered are less obvious impacts. “Transmission of disease to wildlife, or subtle changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily routines or increased s
20、tress 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. _Such changes in behaviour “are potentially serious for the population“, says Gordon Hastie, a marine mammal expert at the
21、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 otherwise. This could lead to the animals resting more at night, possibly reduci
22、ng the time they spend socialising and foraging.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 were around. Just one vehicle could disturb the bears.5. _Such effects are seen am
23、ong yellow-eyed penguins in the Otago peninsula in New Zealand. Observations by Seddons team, also to be published in Biological Conservation, show that chicks in areas frequently visited by tourists weigh on average 0.76 kilograms less than chicks in an area not visited, a fall of over 10 per cent.
24、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 Seddon. “Penguins will run back into the sea if approached on the beach, and will wait
25、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 likely to survive, and he fears that heavy tourist traffic could ultimately spark the f
26、ailure 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 countrys north-eastern coast since 1996. In an upcoming paper in Biological Conservation, they report that the dolphins
27、 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 single research boat.B Like dolphins, the bears may pay a heavy price for such altered beha
28、viour. 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 researchers argue. “For slow-breeding animals the effects could take years to detect, by which tim
29、e 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 backyard. The immediate effects can be subtle - changes to an animals heart rate, physiol
30、ogy, 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 even more detrimental effect in the wilderness regions of Africa and South America. “In more r
31、emote places such as the Amazon, theres 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 have been taking people to watch polar bears during October and November in Manitoba, Canada, a
32、 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 organisations, and governments of nations such as New Zealand and Australia, try to ensure that their
33、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 mostly address the obvious issues such as changes in land use, cutting down trees, making tracks,
34、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)1.pricelocationservicesurroundingsfacilitiesreputation（分数：5.00）_七、Exercise 4 Writing(总题数：1，分数：25.00)2.You have read an article in a magazine which states, “Thanks to an influx of tourists, who look f

Starting in The Gambia, Fremantle makes a remarkable journey through West Africa, covering more tha
44、n 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 provides a vivid snapshot of modern West Africa, telling the stories of the people he m

46、 an eager young man commissioned by the African Association to unlock the mysteries of the River Niger. He tells Parks tale of ambush, starvation and disease with well-researched simplicity, right the way through to his return home as a celebrity in 1797, only to fall victim to his own success and die on his second expedition, in 1805.Its no easy task blending a historical journey into a modern-day setting, but Freemantle succeeds in doing just that, writing with a depth and perceptio
