A.暴力解决不了任何工作.C.屠杀(流血)没有任何意义.D.一切.
3.D在宣传法制方面有艰苦.答案在第二段,真正有理智的人宣传法制,遭到同类们的歧视.不信赖和危害.他们发明要人倾听他们的看法越来越艰苦.

答案详解
1.A 旅游对促进平易近族懂得毫无建树.第二段开端点出,很多旅游组织直接负责旅游事宜,他们有意识不让旅游者接触当地居平易近,让他们过着一种关心备至又与世隔断的生涯.住的是国际饭铺,吃的是国际食物,喝的是国际饮料,在原处不雅看当地居平易近.严厉有序的筹划使旅游者难以本身一人闲逛,说话的障碍,又使他们愿意接收呵护.第三段涉及保持平易近族模式化――老一套的设法主意,所以一开端旅游,你见到的平易近族特征就只是证实了你本身假想的根本领实――所有人平易近都是人类.只有交同伙才干知道平易近族模式是何等荒诞.有害,可是观光社竭力禁止,你又怎么能交上外国同伙呢?
这一切解释A项对.
B.旅游很累.C.导游不雅光很单调乏味.D.旅游确切对国度有进献.
2.C批驳.
3.B吵吵闹闹的.
4.B旅游的方法应转变.整篇文章(除第一段外)都围绕旅游方法不睬想来进行批驳.第二段分散在导游不雅光使旅游者难以和当地人平易近接触.第三段,见到的只是证实了旅游者本身事先形成的思惟/先入之见,旅游根本达不到懂得对方的目标.第四段讲了平易近族固定模式(先入之见的模式)的恐怖效果.要使人懂得所有的人们都是人类,彼此类似,又各具特色,就得转变旅游的方法.
A.导游不雅光令人掉望.C.旅
