European cities are known as popular tourist places. Every year, thousands of people go to cities like Venice and Amsterdam to learn about their history, experience their culture and just have fun. But some of the cities have been taking action to reduce (減少) the number of visitors.

Venice is known for its beautiful landmarks, such as St Mark’s Square. But people there say that the large ships that sail near the city center are ruining (破壞) their appearance, according to The Telegraph.

Residents have complained that the “ugly” ships are much bigger than the local buildings. They make the area look strange, as well as damage the canals (運(yùn)河). In response, the Italian government stopped cruise ships from sailing past St Mark’s Square last year.

In Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ capital, noisy tourists are unwelcome. The city has worked out plans to limit the number of tourists who can come to the city, the Daily Mail reported. Many residents believe that increased tourism has brought more rubbish to the city’s streets. It has also caused an increase in noise pollution.

Airbnb and other “home rentals” that are popular with tourists will face restrictions (限制), too. Fewer tourists will be able to stay in the city. “Beer bikes”, or multi-person bikes that have tables for drinking beer, will also be restricted. It is expected that getting rid of these bikes will make the city quieter and more peaceful for local people.

1.Which of the following may not be the reason for the tourists to visit European cities?

A. Learning about their history. B. Experiencing their culture.

C. Ruining their appearance. D. Just for fun.

2.What makes Venice look strange according to local people?

A. Local buildings. B. Landmarks. C. The canals. D. Ships.

3.What is the major reason for Amsterdam to reduce its number of visitors?

A. Limited resources. B. Increased noise pollution.

C. Damage to buildings. D. Crowded buses.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How Venice and Amsterdam protect local people.

B. Some European cities are reducing their number of visitors.

C. How visitors have ruined local people’ lives.

D. Why visitors are unwelcome in other countries.
