Tourism develops culture. It broadens the thinking of the traveler and leads to culture【C1】______between the hosts and guests from far-off places. This can benefit the locals, since tourists bring culture【C2】______them.
Tourism may help to preserve indigenous customs, 【C3】______traditional shows, parades, celebrations and festivals are put on for tourists. The musicals, plays and serious drama of London theatres and other kinds of nightlife are【C4】______supported by tourists. Such events might disappear without the stimulus of tourism to【C5】______them.
On the other hand, tourism often contributes to the disappearance of local traditions and folklore. Churches, temples and similar places of worship are【C6】______as tourist attractions. This can be【C7】______the expense of their original function: how many believers want to worship in the middle of a flow of atheist invaders? Who would want to pray【C8】______curious onlookers shuffle to and fro with guide books, rather than prayer books, in their hands?
Tourism may bring other indirect cultural consequences in its【C9】______.Tensions which already exist between ancient and more modern ways may be deepened by tourists’ ignorance of【C10】______customs and beliefs. Tourists, if not actually richer, often seem more well-off than natives. The former may therefore feel superior【C11】______the latter embarrassed about their lifestyles. The result may be an inferior feeling which【C12】______helps the sense of identity which is so important to regional culture. The poverty of a locality can look even worse when【C13】______with the comfortable hotel environment inhabited by tourists. Prosperous retired or elderly tourists from Britain, where the average life expectancy is 75 years, may well【C14】______resentment in Sierra Leone, where the local population can expect to live to no more than 41 years. The relative prosperity of tourists may【C15】______crime. In Gambia, unemployed young people offer to act as "professional friends" — guides, companions or sexual partners in return for money. When the tourism season is over they can no longer get wages that way so they【C16】______to petty stealing from the local populace. All this affects the local social life and culture【C17】______.
Cultural erosion can also take place at more【C18】______levels. Greek villagers traditionally【C19】______themselves on their hospitality. They would【C20】______travelers for free, feeding them and listening to their stories. To take money would have been a disgrace. That has changed now. Tourists exist to be exploited. Perhaps this is hardly surprising if the earnings from one room rented to a tourist can exceed a teacher’s monthly salary.
【C13】
选项
A、compared
B、contrasted
C、related
D、associated
答案
B
解析
空白处表示本地人的贫困与旅行者所住酒店的舒适环境形成强烈反差。compare with表示“与……相比”,这里没有将两者进行某种比较,不符合原意。contrast表示“差异,对照”,符合原文意思,因此,B选项正确。
