Attacks by terrorists have led to a dramatic fall in tourism in parts of North Africa, where millions rely on the trade to make a living. New figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) show that visits to North Africa fell by 8% this year, resisting a global upward trend. International tourism grew by 4.4% overall, to reach a total of 1.18 billion arrivals, according to the UNWTO.
But countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco have been hit hard. Beach resorts such as Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, where a passenger jet was loaded with a bomb in November, and Sousse in Tunisia, where gunmen opened fire at holidaymakers in June, have seen visitor numbers sharply decline. Some 3, 500 British tourists left Tunisia in the days after the Sousse attack, in which 38 people—30 of them British—were shot by Islamist gunman at the Port El Kantaoul resort. Limited data available for Africa as a whole suggested that tourism was down by 3% to 53 million—8% in North Africa and 1% in Sub-Saharan Africa. But citing a "larger degree of uncertainty and unpredictability", the UNWTO has predicted between 3.5% and 4.5% of growth in global tourism in the next year.
5.What change took place in North Africa?
6. What helped bring about the change?
7. What is the trend of World Tourism?
选项
A、The industry of tourism grew by 4.4%.
B、It has become a new resort for tourists.
C、Millions of people relied on boarder trade.
D、The number of tourists fell dramatically.
答案
D
解析
新闻开头提到,由于恐怖分子袭击,北非的旅游业受到重创(Attacks by terrorists have led to a dramatic fall in tourism),D“游客数量急剧下降”符合原文信息。新闻开头一般会点出主题,听力时要特别注意。A“旅游业增长4%”与新闻内容不符,排除A。B“成为新的旅游地”没有在新闻中提到。C“数百万人依靠边境贸易”错误,新闻中提到数百万人依靠旅游业而非边境贸易。
