33、ute D Syracuse University 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 C With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesnt necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that i
34、s certainly a choice.

47、 any in those situations where it has been tested The authors of the study suggest that ineffective study habits may be a barrier to academic achievement and that the real problem may be more a lack of academic preparation than a lack of effort or motivation They note that the availability of peer （
