Which of the following makes the most appropriate title for the passage
A.Cold-War Policies and the Tourism Industry
B.The Characteristics of Political Tourism
C.The Rise of Political Tourism
D.The Latest Developments of Political Tourism
参考答案:C
解析:[听力原文]Political tourism first took off in the 1980s, when activists, angry at the United States for propping up Central American dictators, began flocking to countries like Nicaragua and Honduras to see the result themselves. Groups such as the London-based Nicaragua Solidarity Network were only too happy to accommodate them. After returning home, activist tourists tended to take like-minded compatriots back to the region to express solidarity with a movement, act as international observers or simply educate foreigners on the consequences of cold-war policies.
[分析]: 主旨题。 原文第一句提出“Political tourism first took off in the 1980s…”而后面的各句都是支持性细节,分别从原因、状况和结果等方面进一步介绍说明这种新兴的旅游形式。因此,恰当概括原文中心思想的选项C的内容是正确的。 [解题关键] 正确识别中心句与支持性细节的关系。
