The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Pulling away from it and viewing it from a greater distance, you can understand why. The marine park     1     (stretch) over 3,000 km almost parallel to the Queensland coast. The reef, between 15 kilometers and 150 kilometers off shore and around 65 km wide in some parts, is a gathering of brilliant, vivid coral     2     (provide) divers with the most spectacular underwater experience     3     (imagine).

In recent years the city has expanded its offerings, including a number of new projects tourists will want to experience.    1

It has got one most beautiful bookstore in China.

The new location in Dujiangyan is the second Zhongshuge bookstore in the provincial capital.    3     Inspired by Dujiangyan’s ancient irrigation system, the new bookstore has its own features. The beautiful environment of the bookstore can attract more people who do not love books, and awaken their interest and memory in reading.

Beginning operations in 2021, Thantu Airport is the largest civil airport.     4     Travelers can experience a series of cutting-edge technologies at Tianfu, including facial recognition software and self-check-in booth.

3 . No matter how many times you go, Dubai always has something new in store for its natives and tourists. Let’s take a look at a few must-dos for your first time in this impressive city in the United Arab Emirates!

●Hit the famous Dubai Mall.

Any shopaholic (购物狂) worth their salt knows about the Dubai Mall, one of the most famous and the most expensive shopping centres in the world.     1     However, even if you’re not in the mood to spend your savings in hundreds of luxury stores, there are other fun options.

●Mind your manners.

While you’re searching for the next adventure, make sure you follow some basic rules of conduct that the local law prescribes. For example, if you’re travelling with your significant other, public displays of affection are strictly forbidden.     2     So make sure that your attitude is appropriate for the city’s expectations and cultural norms.

●    3    

Although you’ll find many tourists wearing clothes considered not entirely polite by the locals, there are certain rules that are strictly implemented in restaurants, malls, and entertainment centres. So, if you put on something considered inappropriate or revealing, you risk being asked to leave a place.

●Save some time for Jumeirah Beach.

Situated conveniently close to Burj al Arab, this spectacular stretch of the coast is a perfect way to spend some time sunbathing and enjoying the warm waters of the Persian Gulf.     4     In addition, those looking to stay away from the sun can enjoy the many bars next to the beach.

●Prepare your palate for Emirati cuisine.

Have you ever had a chance to sample Al Machboos, camel meat, or Manousheh? Arabic cuisine has some of the most extraordinary delicacies you could possibly imagine, few of which are prepared in the same manner outside of their native lands.     5    

A．Jumeirah Beach is about 10 kilometres long.

B．Pay attention to your dressing requirements.

C．If you’re travelling with kids, you’ll find the beach perfect.

D．Try the authentic Arabic coffee for a flavourful taste of the East.

E．Dubai is indeed a destination packed with adventure and culture.

F．Getting drunk or using offensive hand gestures are all illegal activities.

G．Home to around 1,300 stores, it is a wonderful shopping place.

4 . When places are well-known and popular— historical and modern alike— we might take it for granted that they’ll be around forever. But sadly, many of the world’s best known and culturally significant landmarks are in trouble.

Mount Kilimanjaro’s peak

This mountain, one of the Seven Summits, proves that even giants can fall to climate change due to the vast amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While the mountain itself, located in Tanzania, isn’t in danger at present, its iconic snow cap might disappear—and shockingly soon. Research found that the snow cap had lost 85% of the total area of its ice fields between 1912 and 2007, and the remaining ice could be history as early as 2030.

Machu Picchu

Located in southern Peru, Machu Picchu is the remains of a huge stone castle that was built during the 15th century. These unbelievable Incan ruins are widely considered one of the must-see spots in South America. However, the site has been a victim of over-tourism, seeing the harmful effects of the crowds it gets as they wear down the structures. In addition, the area surrounding Machu Picchu has seen rapid development of the cities, as well as mudslides and fires, in recent years, leading UNESCO to work for its protection.

Everglades National Park

This stunning Floridian wildlife reserve has sadly found itself fighting for its life in recent years. As ‘the largest subtropical wilderness reserve’ in North America, according to UNESCO, it’s been a beloved travel destination for American citizens for decades, but the damage of time and human activity have not been kind to it. Its survival first came into question after it was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1993. But it’s human influence that has become the primary threat, as water flow to the site has decreased and the impacts of pollution have increased, resulting in harmful algal blooms (赤潮). Its vast, diverse wildlife is more threatened than ever before.

1. Which problem does Mount Kilimanjaro face?

A．Global warming	B．City development.
C．Over-tourism	D．Ice pollution.

2. What do these three places have in common?

A．They are the impacts of pollution and mudslides.

B．They are destroyed severely due to over-tourism.

C．They are famous but affected by human activities.

D．They are considered as victims of global warming.
