Tourism has become a huge industry. Tourists make millions of foreign trips a year, twice as (1)m__________as 20 years ago. It's now the largest employer on Earth. Clearly, it can do great good, but it can also do great damage.

It's true that tourism has brought benefits to many areas of the world that were very poor. However, mass tourism also has some bad (2)e__________.

Local culture and customs change as more tourists arrive. Too much tourism damages the environment. And more and more tourists are behaving badly.

Complaints from local people are growing. In cities such as Barcelona or Venice residents say that too many tourists arrive on cruise ships（游轮）. As a result，town centres are overcrowded. They tell stories about(3)n__________ parties that keep people awake all night. In famous beauty spots, where tourist money was welcomed, people are now worried about the damage tourists do to the environment.

Of course, many tourists enjoy the benefits of tourism in a responsible way. They choose holidays that support the local economy and they respect the local culture and the environment. Environmentally friendly tourism, or eco-tourism, is becoming more (4)p__________.

Responsible tourist behaviour is necessary, but it isn't enough to solve the problem. Many people now believe that governments should control how many visitors enter their country. They believe they should (5)l__________ the number of cruise ships that use their ports and should not allow too many hotel developments.

(6)U__________, governments are in a difficult situation. Tourism brings in a lot of money and this helps them (7)i__________ life for the local people. However, some governments are beginning to understand that too much tourism can be bad for the local population and the environment. They've taken some measures to promote environmentally friendly tourism. There may still be hope.

The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the festival went on for eleven days. Alibaba alone saw 498.2 billion yuan in trade.    Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them (1)s_______lots of money. After all, many stores do discount(打折) their goods. But if you take a second look at the sale prices, you'll find that many of them end in “9” or “5.99 minutes.”  In our everyday life, we (2)r_______say “Just give me 5.99 minutes,” it’s not common to say “Just give me 59 minutes,” either. We are more likely to say “Just give me six minutes” and “just give me 60 minutes”. Why do stores prefer the other way round?

According to Lee E. Hibbett, a professor of marketing, this pricing strategy(策略) has been around for about a century. No one knows who invented it. However, stores all like it. Prices that end in “.99” and “9” simply get more customers.

The strategy(策略) is based on the (3)f_______ that we read from left to right. On a price tag(标签), the number on the far left impresses us the most. So, even though 5. 99 dollars is pretty (4)c______to 6 dollars, it’s the “5” that impresses us most. A product that sells for 5.99 dollars just seems like a better deal than a similar one that sells for 6 dollars.

In a 2016 study, Hibbett, a professor of marketing asked a clothing company to(5)r_______ the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress. The result, however, (6)s________ them. Demand(需求) increased by a third. Increasing the price from$ 34 to$ 44 made no difference at all.

So be (7)c_______ with prices that end in “9” or “.99”.They may make you spend more money!

01语境

词不离句，词不离句、句不离篇、篇不离境。做缺词填空要理解地做，不能想当然，要耐心寻查、分析解题线索。

归根到底，首字母的填空还是要看题目的具体语境，最基本的是先要读懂句子，领悟题目表达出来的大致意思之后，然后再根据语境确定符合语段、语篇意思的单词。

因为四个英语句子的长短不同、内容的丰富程度不一，随着限制词的增多，我们会发现语境越来越清晰，答题范围也会逐渐缩小，答案渐趋唯一。

02词性

在弄懂了语境之后，我们需要注意检查句子的语法（动词形式、名词单复数、形容词或副词比较级等），确定需要填空的单词是什么词性。

这时候，空格前后的单词就是一个很好的提示，可以根据现成的词性做一个判断，如果空格前面是人称物主代词，那么说明后面一定是跟名词或动名词形式。

03正确拼写单词

如果同学已经对词性的判断成竹在胸了，接下来面临的问题就是单词是否会拼写，以及某些特殊单词的单复数变化、时态变化、动名词变化是否能正确拼写，这些都直接决定作答的结果。

句子读懂了，要填什么单词也知道了，但是单词不会写，就相当于功亏一篑。

04掌握词汇手册中的中频词

如果首字母填空考高频词的话，这对于很多同学而言都很容易。这类题型的难点就在于，考察的单词是以词汇手册中的中频词为主。

所以对中频词的着重记忆，包括对单词一词多义、特殊用法进行掌握，都是拿下首字母填空需要注意的地方。

同样，记新单词除了要关注音形义的结合，还要注重活学活用，过好诵读和拼写关。

最后，还要强调英语书写习惯的重要性。

在中考英语试卷中，依然能看到不少学生的书写习惯非常随意，如：有些同学因为字母f和t的书写区别不大而失分。

A-

all  pron. 所有；一切

another  pron. 又一，另一；另外的

any  pron. 任何数量；任一，任何一些；任何人

anyone  pron. 任何人；某个人

B-

E-

everyone  pron. 每个人；人人

everything  pron. 每件事物，（有关的）一切

H-

N-

nobody  pron. 无人，没有人；谁也不

none  pron. 没有人，一个也没有，没有任何东西

nothing  pron. 没有什么；无关紧要的东西

O-

I used to work in the Pets’ House.It’s actually a volunteer organization tohelp the abandoned or homeless cats and dogs. So we take those poor animals back to the Pets’ House and feed them. Sometimes they are seriously ill, so we would take them to the hospitals. We take very good care of them and help them grow healthily. Then,we will post their pictures and information on the Internet, so that someone whoare warm-hearted can come to adopt them. Therefore,these cute creatures can eventually have a real home. I’m doing these becauseI love pets so much and I think helping these poor animals is verymeaningful tothe whole society. I enjoy doing this and I willcontinue doing it. Wish everyone can join us and help these lovely animals together!
