Mass travel is just that—travel for the masses. Over 600 hundred million people will fly, drive, sail or go by train to a foreign destination this year.
Global earnings from tourism this year will exceed $450 billion. Within the next fifteen years, the tourism business is expected to expand fourfold and to generate receipts in excess of $1.5 trillion, according to the World Travel Organization. Add in other types of travel, such as business, to recreational travel and you have an industry that is worth perhaps double that amount—and employs more than 200 million people worldwide.
Nowhere is exempt(免除) from this explosion of movement. From the most remote island in the Pacific to the deepest valley in the Himalayas and the driest areas of Sahara, tourism is leaving its mark. Toilets for tourists are now provided at base camps on the slopes of Mount Qomolangma. Special landing craft fan out from luxury ships to explore the most remote beaches in the Galapagos Island.
Europe remains the motor of this industry, although its old dominance is slipping in the face of Asian competition. Today, 60% of all tourist arrivals are in Europe,(down from 69% in 1975), and receipts for tourism at $214 billion are more than three times higher than those in the US($ 64 billion). No fewer than one in five tourists(120 million 1997) go to the Mediterranean alone.
Tourism is a mixed blessing. Tourism generates wealth, employment—and enjoyment, at least, for the tourists, However, it has its downside, too. Environmentalists who wish to protect the world’s beauty spots, peasants in developing countries forced off their land to make room for tourists’ golf courses, governments worried about "moral pollution" are just a few of those uneasy at the sudden and startling democratization of travel. Nor should we forget exhausted air traffic controllers, coping with greatly increased numbers of aircraft queuing to take off and land.
选项
答案
will expand further and produce more profits
解析
根据题干中的the World Travel Organization可以定位到第二段第二句话。原文中的…to expand fourfold可以总结为expand further,原文中的to generate receipts in excess of $1.5 trillion可以归纳为produce more profits。

K此句的前一分句作状语部分,可推断此处应该是连接to一个词组。这句话说,和网络反对者的担心________,互联网的使用并没有取代人们对本地活动的参与。网络反对者担心的肯定是互联网的消极影响,故选contrary(to)相反”。
O该空格位于副词more和名词group中间,可以判断此处可能填入一个形容词。根据后一句提到的,他们更可能接触其他民族或种族的人,所以选diverse"多种多样的”。
J该空格位于介词in后,可判断此处可能填入动名词或名词。后半句讲到“皮尤”的研究人员发现只有6%的受访者报告说他们没有亲密的人际关系,而上句则说25%,这就说明两句话是相比较的关系,incontrast“相比之下”合适。compare一般不和in连用。
