One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace. Tourists have used paint, rocks or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourists sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. I have three words for people like this: please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible. Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.

词句猜测题。根据第二段“Tourists have used paint, rocks or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourists sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”.(游客们用颜料、石头甚至钥匙在埃及的卢克索神庙、罗马斗兽场、英国的巨石阵、珠穆朗玛峰底部的纪念石以及很多其他地方写字。成千上万的旅游景点正被“爱它们爱得要死”的游客破坏)”可知，游客们通过在景点刻字，以表达他们对景点的爱。由此推知，love them to death(爱它们爱得要死)中的them指的是旅游景点。故选C。
5．
细节理解题。根据第二段“If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.(如果你想在世界上留下印记，那就用善良和爱来改变别人的生活。把善良传给下一代，而不是毁灭)”可知，作者建议游客们用善良和爱的行为给景点留下印记。故选A。

7．
