2 . Have you ever looked at a beautiful little house in London and thought “it must be so amazing to live there.”But for the people who actually do live in those homes, social media photography has changed what it means to live in a picturesque place.
Alice Johnston is a resident of Noting Hill, the London neighbourhood famous for colorfully- painted row houses and for being a Hollywood movie set. There can be a dark side to living inside it. She has witnessed all kinds of crazy behavior for the perfect snapshot (快照). Johnston was once woken up at 6 a.m, on Easter Sunday by French teenagers taking pictures outside. Another time she was changing when an elderly man took a picture of her windows. Although the shutters (百叶窗) were closed at the time, she was shocked by the experience.
When private homes become tourist attractions, conflicts can occur. In Hong Kong, the Monster Building became a huge selfie spot after it was featured in Transformers: Age of Extinction, A sign in English and Chinese put up by building residents reads “This is a private estate. All kinds of activities are not allowed, including but not limited to photographing, gatherings, use of drones (无人机) and yelling. We shall not take responsibility for personal injury caused by any accident. ”However, many visitors ignore the signs, and a quick scan of Instagram shows plenty of recent images taken there.
A pale-pink house near where Johnston lives has become such a popular photo site that the residents have given up on trying to keep people away. Instead, they’ve put up a donation box asking people to contribute money to charity in exchange for taking a photo.

6 . Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forest, and alpine(高山的) scenery. The Icefields Park-way spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff’s early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects, As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity.
Banff National Park has a subarctic climate(副极地气候) with three ecoregions. The forests feature lodgepole pine at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal(哺乳动物) species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles(爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded.
The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks(沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Erosion(侵蚀) from water and ice has molded the mountains into their existing shapes.

7 . In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage, but in this case it is all too real. At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world’s first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area.
According to a Chinese state-owned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos (混乱). As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels. The traffic light now manages the flow of traffic at the new crossing.
Camel-riding tours are a big attraction for visitors to the area. But visitors to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot will now be safe from camel crashes, thanks to the new traffic signal, which turns green to let the animals cross and red to make them stop.
The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot is already a tourist hot spot thanks to its breathtaking sand dunes (沙丘), an oasis (绿洲) and even the occasional snowstorm which create otherworldly scenery. The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area.
The area is close to Dunhuang City on the edge of the Gobi Desert, and it used to be an essential resting point for travellers on the Silk Road. Dunhuang’s best-known tourist attraction is the Mogao Caves. The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams.
1. What does the underlined word “mirage” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Reality. | B.Fantasy. | C.Scenery. | D.Mistake. |
A.To solve the traffic chaos. | B.To have camels go through. |
C.To attract visitors to the area. | D.To protect the visitors’ safety. |
A.It has become a tourist hot spot. |
B.It has prevented camel traffic jams. |
C.It could improve the tourism of the scenic area. |
D.It could greatly increase the camels’ population. |
A.To criticize the traffic jam. | B.To tell us a travel experience. |
C.To introduce a camel traffic light. | D.To analyze a natural phenomenon. |
