问题     Increasingly, the development of tourism is seen to have an effect on the environment. Erosion(磨损)is one problem. The steps and stones of major popular【C1】______like Shakespeare’s birthplace or Stonehenge(巨石阵)are literally being worn away by millions of foreign feet. The【C2】______in the case of Britain’s best known prehistoric monument has been to use railings to keep visitors at a distance. Such measures can hardly be【C3】______in the house of the Bard, however, where tourists want to enter the actual building.
    Overcrowding in cities, towns and villages is【C4】______problem. Traffic jams are an outcome. In narrow roads, tourist vehicles cause congestion.【C5】______traders and residents cannot get around to do their work. Car parks fill up,【C6】______strangers park their cars where they can: in streets, across gateways, in lay-bys, or even in【C7】______driveways. This causes obstruction. The sheer weights of in-comers can be a hazard. Thus Venice, a city built for half a million inhabitants, is【C8】______by another half million who populate the city daily in the tourist【C9】______—eight million visits each year. The mayor recently decided to【C10】______visitors to 90,000 a day: the only way to save the city from overcrowding.
【C8】
选项 A、destroyed
B、paralyzed
C、swollen
D、ruined
答案C
解析 此处相关部分的意思是“威尼斯原来只能承受50万居民，现在每天住在这里的另50万人使它——。”根据句意，空格处应填入C项swollen“膨胀”。A项destroyed“破坏”、B项para—lyzed“瘫痪”、D项ruined“毁灭，毁坏”既不符合事实，也不符合句意。
