　　解题思路

　　国际旅游日益流行，有人认为它促进国际理解，有人认为它加剧国家之间紧张情绪。国际旅游加剧国家之间紧张情绪： 1. 文化冲突冒犯当地人 2. 损害当地自然资源国际旅游促进国际理解： 1. 只有亲身体验才能了解某国文化，比如许多美国年轻人要去到俄罗斯才觉得其实那里的人们并没有那么恐怖，再比如到了中国以后才发现现在中国男人已经不再是长辫中国女人也不再裹小脚。 2. 人们更加愿意了解彼此，增进理解。国际旅游总体上还是促进国际理解，而不是加剧紧张。

　　范文

　　International tourism is booming: millions of tourists go to foreign countries to explore the outside world. Tourism enhances the mutual understanding between the local residents and tourists. Some people refute that international tourism intensifies tensions rather than improves understanding between people from distinguishable cultures. The people holding the latter view suppose that tourists are likely to offend the local people because of the lack of knowledge of the local customs, which differ from their own. Moreover, tourism inevitably harms the natural resources and the cultural legacy, which may lead to the resentment of the local people. However, I can hardly side with this idea: the above mentioned rarely happens. In my opinion, international tourism does encourage the understanding between people from different countries. For one thing, without going to see for themselves, people may never know what other countries are really like and thus can be misled by hearsay or films and TV programs, which, more often than not, are one-sided. For instance, one of my American friends told me that most Americans had a strange bias against the Russian people until some young Americans traveled to Russia and saw with their own eyes that the Russians are human beings just like them. Another example is that, with the development of Chinese tourism, people outside China start to realize that Chinese men no longer have long braids and Chinese women’s feet are of normal size now. Secondly, having seen the fine scenery or experienced the rich culture of other countries, tourists will have the desire to develop a good relationship with the locals, which certainly contributes to the understanding between them. In conclusion, instead of aggravating tensions, international tourism promotes the comprehension of peoples from distinct countries.(287字)
