问题         Xiamen University, one of the leading universities in China, began to ban tour groups from entering its campus. However, individual tourists are still allowed to enter the campus after registration. In order to prevent the large crowds of tourists from affecting their campus environment and teaching order, other universities have already taken similar measures. From the following two excerpts, you can find such move seems to have received both applause and criticism.
        Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
        1. summarize the opinions from both sides, and then
        2. express your opinion towards such move, especially whether tourists should be banned from campuses.
Excerpt 1
        It’s better for universities to moderately open their tourism resources than to ban tourists outright Campus tourism has pros and cons, and so how to balance tourism and academic work is key. Here, we stress moderation. Tourists should be allowed on campuses but campus resources must not be over occupied by tourist groups. If schools can properly make money from tourism to supplement their daily expenses, it’s a win-win game.
        If university tours develop into a good project, students can have more opportunities to make money and even start their own businesses. Tourists will surely spend money on campus tours. Besides, students can also serve as tour guides to present schools’ culture and history to the visitors. Tourism is in nature an economic activity. Universities can charge fees for campus tours, and this to some extent helps to improve the school’s economic situation.
        Universities’ fame and influence will be further expanded once campus tours are well developed. This is probably what all universities and colleges hope to see. With the expansion of college recruitment, the competition among universities is increasingly fierce. Thus, making themselves known and appreciated by more people will be very important for universities.
        Meanwhile, as a kind of public education resource, apart from educating students, universities also have certain social responsibilities. By opening to tourists, universities can help ordinary people pick up some scientific and cultural knowledge.
        Particularly, universities’ resources are unused in holidays. At that time, it’s a good idea to develop these prestigious universities into education bases, receiving visiting groups and tourist groups.
Excerpt 2
        Nowadays, some travel agencies list prestigious universities as tourist sites. University students and teachers are greatly disturbed. Take Wuhan University in central China’s Hubei Province for example—the university is famous for its spring cherry blossoms and thus, when the flowers blossom, the campus always becomes overcrowded. Then the school decided to charge ticket fees, saying that the income would help the university to strengthen the management. This practice is unwise. To what extent can a 10-yuan ticket prevent people from entering the campus? How does the university spend their ticket income?
        Compared with Wuhan University, what Xiamen University has done is much more acceptable. Tour groups are banned from entering the campus, but individuals are still permitted to enter. If you want to feel the unique atmosphere of this beautiful university, you can go by yourself, instead of joining any tourist groups. Thus, students’ normal life will not be interrupted and the school doesn’t need to worry about how to keep the campus in order.
        Universities are not scenic spots, but places of learning. A peaceful environment for teaching and academic work is the basic requirement. Visitors are free to appreciate the beauty of this university, but the precondition is that they should not disturb those who are studying and teaching there.

答案                                                         Campus Tourism Should Be Properly Managed
        Recently, Xiamen University has begun to keep group tourists outside its campus, which incurs different voices. Some believe that rather than simply shun the tourists, universities should make full use of their tourism resource, like charging tickets for campus tours, so as to create business opportunities for the university and students within. Moreover, it is the social responsibility of universities to embrace the public and carry forward knowledge. Nonetheless, others argue that charging fees will not effectively restrict the number of tourists, thus unable to keep order of teaching and learning. By contrast, banning group tourists from campuses not only reserves the right of tourist to appreciating the beauty of campuses but also effectually prevents campuses from disturbance.
        Universities, as far as I can see, should be open to tourists on the premise that a series of systematic rules are set up to regularize the behaviors of tourists. As a cultural base and cradle of talents, it is of significant importance for universities to lay a positive cultural influence on the public and enhance the young’s desire for knowledge. Yet in the principle of campus order reservation, universities should make the rules for tourists. Following rules and regulations of the campus, tourists have to behave themselves in campuses and also learn to preserve the environment while enjoying the pleasant beauty there. For instance, tourists are not allowed to linger around the classrooms while students are having class. Otherwise, they will be fined with a certain amount or warning that they cannot come to the campus again.
        My final point, therefore, rests with supporting that universities should open the campuses to tourists and meanwhile lay down rules to properly manage the tourists. Only when the relationship between tourism and normal teaching order is well coped with can a win-win result come out for both the university and the public.
解析         材料围绕“应否禁止游客进入大学参观”这一话题给出了两种看法。
        选段一认为应收取门票，适当地开放（moderately open）校园旅游资源，有以下两方面理由：首先，对于学生而言，校园旅游的开展为学生提供了更多赚钱（make money）的机会，甚至有助于他们创业（start their own businesses）。其次，从学校的角度来看，校园旅游资源有助于补贴学校的日常开支（supplement their daily expenses）；能进一步增强学校的名气和影响力（Universities’ fame and influence）；同时，学校也能履行其社会职责（social responsibilities），普及科学文化知识。
        选段二则反对收取门票，禁止团队游客进入校园，通过举例对比武汉大学和厦门大学的做法，说明个人游客更能感受到独特的校园氛围（unique atmosphere），而且有助于维护学生的日常生活和校园秩序（keep the campus in order）。并强调保证宁静的校园坏境（peaceful environment）是开放校园的前提（precondition）。
