In the British Museum on a Sunday afternoon, ancient faces look back at children and adults alike. Inside their glass cases, pharaohs (法老) and priests are【C1】________ by the crowds. And crowds there always
are, for these are the painted coffins and carved masks of the ancient Egyptians, relics (遗物) of a culture that has【C2】________ the world for thousands of years.
Ancient civilization is part of the world’s heritage, and in recent times it seemed nothing could seriously threaten that【C3】________. Tourists visited such sites as Giza in Egypt and Olympia in Greece safe in the assumed knowledge that we were seeing wonders that would always be available to admire.
Yet the instability of the world in 2012 is a threat to the apparently【C4】________ monuments of antiquity. In Greece, as the weakest economy in the eurozone faces terrible pressure to transform its way of life, anxiety and alienation had a troubling reflection at Olympia last week, where a museum of the ancient Greek games was 【C5】________ by thieves. Perhaps this was coincidence, but it is the second recent museum robbery in Greece.
Meanwhile in Egypt, tourism levels have【C6】________ sharply since the revolution, and hotels are half empty.
This is where the word "tourism" becomes in itself harmful. People who visit Egypt to see ancient art are certainly tourists, in the country that was at the heart of the very idea of modern tourism. But this word has unfairly come to imply a selfish, shallow form of consumer spending, 【C7】________ valuable to poor countries but irrelevant to the higher concerns of national self-determination and democratic change.
To reduce the problems of the Egyptian tourist industry to these cold terms is wrong. Many people visit Egypt with a passionate longing to gaze on the eyes of Tutankhamun and stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid. More practically, the【C8】________ from tourism help keep Egyptian sites and museums going. To say these places are only of interest to " tourists" would be【C9】________ and miserable.
Both Greece and Egypt are guardians of sites and objects of the highest importance to the entire world. If UNESCO has any value it is surely to【C10】________ the fate of antiquities in times like these. And if we shrug and write off antiquity as the stuff of tourism and scholarship, " irrelevant" to these extraordinary times, we are already well on die way to barbarism (野蛮).
A) ascended F) inheritance K) revenues
B) compliment G) logical L) scrutinize
C) descended H) peaceful M) separately
D) economically I) raided N) tragic
E) entranced J) reference O) undisturbed [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
D
解析
副词辨析题。根据空格后的valuable可推断此处缺少一个副词。此处意为:对于贫穷国家而言,旅游业在________方面是有价值的。备选副词中只有economically“在经济上”符合句意,故D)为答案。
