Winter sports face a double threat, from climate and demographic change. The industry’s response is making it worse.
【B1】______. But the effect has been greater in the Alps, the mountain range most visited for winter sports, which has warmed by about 2℃. This has been most intense in summer, which is why the Marmolada glacier has been melting so fast. Increasingly, though, global warming is affecting the snow and ice in winter, too, with profound consequences for the winter-sports industry that has brought the high life to poor Alpine valleys.
【B2】______. Laurent Vanat, author of an annual report on snow and mountain tourism, estimates that the number of skier-days (visits to ski slopes for part of or a whole day)in the world’s main ski destinations fell from about 350m in the 2008-09 season to about 320m in 2015-16. This includes declines in the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland, Italy and, most markedly, in fast-aging Japan. The drop would be bigger still were it not for breakneck growth in China, where skier-days nearly tripled in the same period to 11m. American resorts (usually small ones)have been closing since the late 1980s. Those in the European Alps, which account for about 40% of skier-days, have mostly kept going, albeit with various public subsidies. 【B3】______. In Mediterranean antiquity they were sacred places where the heavenly touched the earthly: Greek gods dwelt on Olympus and Moses was given the law on Mount Sinai. Later they became places , where monsters lurked. The highest mountain in the Alps was known as Montagne Maudite, the "cursed mountain" , before becoming Mont Blanc.
【B4】______. Messrs Scott and Steiger have reworked climate-model assessments to take this into account. One looks at roughly 300 resorts in the vulnerable eastern Alps (parts of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy). Relying just on natural snow, about 70% of them would no longer survive with 2°C more warming, and 90% would be endangered with 4°C. But with snow-making these proportions fell to about 15% and 60% respectively.
【B5】______. Not every ski resort has an iconic mountain that looks wonderful in summer. And for all the golf, horse-riding and mountain-biking that may be on offer, nothing draws people quite like the thrill of snow, many resort officials say. Their mantra is: "Skiing is not everything. But without skiing there is nothing. "
Questions 61 to 65
Choose from the sentences A—G the one which best fits each gap of 61—65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.

E. The greenhouse gases emitted since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution have so far warmed the world by roughly 1°C , on average.
F. Organized ski treks exist, their routes following set trails with accommodation enroute.
G. The main response of resorts has been to invest heavily in artificial snow-making.
【B4】
选项
答案
G
解析
第四段谈到,仅仅依靠自然降雪,大约70%的雪在2次变暖后就无法生存,所以许多旅游胜地都无法维持,需要依靠人工降雪。G选项的内容符合本段文意。
