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 Kantaoui 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、Tourism will fall down by 3%.
B、Global tourism will grow by around 4.5%.
C、It is uncertain and unpredictable.
D、The data is limited and unavailable.
答案
B
解析
新闻末尾提到,世界旅游组织预测世界旅游业在未来一年将会增加3.5%至4.5%(3.5%and4.5% of growth in global tourism),B“全球旅游业将增长4.5%左右”与原文相符,为正确选项。A“旅游业将下降3%”错误,这是非洲旅游业的降幅。C“不确定和不可预测”利用原文的uncertainty和unpredictability作干扰,但新闻中是说尽管有各种不确定性,世界旅游组织还是做出了增长的预测,所以C错误。D“数据有限、难以获得”利用新闻中的Limited data available作干扰,新闻是说“获得的有限数据”表明非洲的旅游业将下降。
