26、Before the corona virus pandemic arrived in Italy, the big worry about tourism was overcrowding, as millions of tourists crowded the country's most popular spots like Florence, Rome and Venice. Then, with the pandemic, tourists disappeared.
According to most estimates, the tourism sector is not expected to recover to pre-pandemic levels until late 2023 or early 2024, but political leaders and many working in the sector are taking steps now to assure that, as the tourism strengthens, it avoids the former overcrowding problems in tourist centers.
“Italy should not emphasize the dependence on big tour buses that all pull into parking lots and overwhelm a small town for a few hours, but promote more high-quality tourism that shows visitors the country wonders beyond the few dozen places everyone knows about," Gianfranco Lorenzo, head of the research department for Florence's Center for Touristic Studies, says. There's no reason people should be lined up to see one famous site when there are many places that are just as important and just as impressive.
Those strategies are already in development. This summer many Italian cities are trying to focus the attention of visitors on outdoor attractions like sprawling gardens and architectural ruins, where visitors can remain spread out to keep corona-virus infection risks low.
Florence's Uffizi Galleries, one of the most visited museums in Italy, has launched the “Uffizi Diffusi” initiative which includes displaying some of its collections in museums in smaller towns to help draw tourists who might otherwise have spent their time in overcrowded Florence.
Lorenzo says reducing the impact of tourists does not mean the country will have to host fewer tourists in the future. “In a few years we could even have more tourists than we had before the pandemic,” he says. “But for that to be sustainable, they just have to be spread out more evenly.”
【1】Why do the political leaders in Italy adopt certain strategies in the tourism sector?
A.To protect visitors from corona-virus infection.
B.To settle the overcrowding problem in tourist centers.
C.To limit the number of tourists coming to Italy.
D.To host more foreign tourists in the near future.
【2】The “Uffizi Diffusi” initiative has been launched to _______.
A.draw more tourists
B.display great works
C.promote tourism industry
D.spread out visitors
【3】What is Gianfranco Lorenzo's attitude towards the future of tourism in Italy?
A.Optimistic.
B.Ambiguous.
C.Doubtful.
D.Concerned.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Problem of Overcrowding in Italy.
B.The Future of the Tourism Industry in Italy.
C.The Reform of the Tourism Industry in Italy.
D.The Impact of Corona-virus Pandemic on Italy.
27、 The film Hacksaw Ridge tells a story of World War II hero Desmond Doss, who saved lives without ever firing a gun. The film stars Garfield as Doss, and is directed by Mel Gibson. The film is based on the 2004 documentary. The Conscientious Objector produced by Terry Benedict. When he was just 10 years old, he first knew about Doss. After becoming a filmmaker, Benedict approached Doss, encouraging him to tell his story.
Hollywood had been knocking on Doss's door for many years, but Doss wasn't interested. “He didn't want to mention his life in the war,” Benedict explains. But when Benedict insisted on making a documentary about his life, Doss finally agreed. Then Benedict spent the next three years interviewing Doss and his fellow soldiers in World War Ⅱ.
Not long after the documentary's debut, Benedict met with the then president of the 20th Century Fox. The two wanted to make Doss's story into a film, Hacksaw Ridge. Then Gibson signed on to direct. Benedict shared his knowledge of Doss with the director and the leading actor Garfield. Benedict took Garfield on a road trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Doss lived most of his adult life.
In the film Hacksaw Ridge, in a hard-fought battle in Okinawa, Doss repeatedly ran into the land controlled by the enemies to rescue friends and get them down the hill to safety. Even when the rest of his troop abandoned the battlefield, Doss stayed, searching for survivors and pulling his tired body to get as many of his men home as he could.
“Doss was a very consistent man of faith. He was a rock,” Benedict says, “He was the same in the war. He was the same all the way up until the day he died. He set us a good example.”
