29、- ments of a culture are highlighted to entertain tourists. Tourists show no respect to the locals and may cause damage to the unique nature of a culture. Cultural commercialization has made the sacred el- ements of a culture commonplace and tourists are en- couraged to attach little importance to a
30、 unique tradi- tion, which cannot be found elsewhere. Too much tourism may harm the quality of the tradition and heritage of a place. Due to the unplanned and mis- managed growth of cultural tourism, an ever-booming place might gradually become the victim of its own suc- cess. By and by,the unique c
31、ulture of that place may lose its attractiveness, which can eventually lead to decline and fall of its cultural identity. Providing economic incentives for cultural preservation is unarguably one of the main con- tributions of tourism. To many tourists, culture and history are their first considerat
32、ion when choosing a destination. Their mindset has been adopted by many tourism sites and their money has been subsequently used on cultural pro- tection, including the maintenance of key his- torical sites. Tourism can make an indigenous culture known to the world and rally support worldwide to pro
33、tect it. Needless to say, tourism adds value to a scenic spot by serving as a driving force in boosting that places economy. （分数：20.00）_6.Read carefully the following excerpt on smog subsidy, and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should: summarize the main message of t

Smog subsidy for employees who work outdoorsSevere air pollution and smog continues to haunt many Chinese cities, especially in northern and central China. As people grow more aware of health issues, there have been increasing calls for a special smog
36、 subsidy(雾霾津贴) for employees who have to work on smoggy days. Xie Chaohua, a member of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), called for the introduction of a smog subsidy for those who work outdoors. Xie said at the CPPCC session that the key to his proposal is protecting lu
37、ngs from the impact of smog. The government should protect the publics right to breathe clean air, and a smog subsidy should be introduced for outdoor workers such as construction workers, sanitation workers, traffic police officers and couriers. With the subsidy, government can take the initiative
38、to purchase health products such as lung-moistening medicines for those who bear the brunt of smoggy weather. In addition to the subsidy, Xie also called for the introduction of a smog holiday system for people who work outdoors. The Trade Union in Zhengzhou City, capital of Central Chinas Henan Pro
39、vince, has surveyed nearly 400 subscribers to its official WeChat account recently. The survey found that 95% of respondents support a smog subsidy for those who work outdoors.

44、n spend a lot of time on chatting and gossiping, discussing some trivial and meaningless things, thus making students waste a lot of valuable time which should be spent on study. According to a BBC News report, social networking appears to have brought people together across the Internet, yet in a l
45、arger sense it creates social isolation. As people spend increasing amounts of time on social networks, they experience less face-to-face interaction. A research in America stated that about 20 % divorce cases have connection with Facebook. Overuse of social networking will also result in negative h
46、ealth consequences.
