答案
Charging More During Peak Seasons Nowadays, as people’s living standards are enhancing, an increasing number of people choose to travel during their holidays. While tourism boosts local economy, it brings a heavy burden to sites of historical interest. Recently, many sites of historical interest in China have begun or are considering charging tourists higher entry fees during peak travel seasons. Some express objection to this idea while others support it. In my opinion, it is a wise decision to charge more during peak seasons. The first and foremost approval of this proposal is based on that charging tourists higher entry fees is good for the protection of historical sites. As we all know, too many tourists would inevitably produce a lot of rubbish and further pose a threat to the environment. There are even people who litter waste paper, fruit peels and spit onto the ground. For example, quite a few tourists have the habit of inscribing their names on trees or rocks as a mark of their arrival. People take photos of objects which might be vulnerable to camera light. Therefore, charging higher entry fee can help to protect the environment and properties as well. In the second place, charging higher entry fees is good for the safety of visitors. Accidents are more likely to happen in overcrowded places. We have read many reports of injuries or even deaths caused by congested people. According to a survey conducted by the China’s Bureau of Tourism, 69% of all the accidents are caused, by overcrowded people. Therefore, raising the entry fees during peak seasons can assure a better environment for tourists. Last but most importantly, charging higher entry fees can help to develop the sites of historical interest on the whole. In old days, the maintenance and protection of the historical sites were more often than not deferred for lack of fund. But now, with the money collected from the entry fees, local governments will be able to adopt more effective measures to better preserve the historical sites and perform the daily maintenance ritual. Raising fees can also help to improve holding capacity of noted historical sites. With everything said above, I have made my firm stand thoroughly approving of such a raise of entry fees during peak seasons. Admittedly, we should protect the rights of the economically underprivileged and give them opportunities to access these places. For instance, they are allowed to enter historical sites during off-peak seasons free of charge. In a nutshell, I strongly support the proposal to raise entry fees during peak seasons.
解析
这次英语专业八级考试的作文部分需要自己确定题目。文章开门见山,指出目前中国著名的历史景点考虑在旅游高峰期上涨门票价格,正方与反方各执一词,作者的观点是支持高峰期适度涨价。作者在文章的第二段至第四段提出了具体的分论点,并加以阐述。注意,在每段中都要有topic sentence,可放在段首或段尾,然后围绕着该分论点,通过举例等手段进行论证。如本文在第二段中,作者指出门票上涨对保护历史景点的环境大有裨益。比如,可以减少垃圾,减少甚至避免人为破坏历史景点的现象发生。陈述观点时,可以使用first/firstly,second/secondly…也可以使用the first and foremost approval of/objection to;in the first (second)place…等连接手段,并层层推进。
作者提出在高峰期上涨门票价格的第二个理由是从游客的安全角度出发。人员过多,拥挤踩踏事件时有发生。为了避免类似事件的发生,高峰期上调门票价格可以理解。“死伤”可以用文中的injuries or even deaths,或者casualties。
第三点虽然是最后一个理由,但最为重要(Last but most importantly)。从保护历史景点的角度出发,以前因为门票收人偏少,日常维护无法真正到位。如果拥有充足的资金,则可以更好地保护历史景点,进而有利于提高历史景点容纳游客的能力,使其进入良性循环的通道。最后一段是结尾,作者再次表明自己的立场,即支持旅游旺季上涨历史景点的门票,同时指出,不能剥夺经济弱势群体参观的权利,可以考虑旅游淡季让其免费进入景区参观,以期达到双赢的目的。
