TPO 20

综合写作阅读部分解析：

In the United States, it had been common practice since the late 1960s no to suppress natural

forest fires. The “let it burn” policy assumed that forest fire would

burn themselves

out quickly,

without causing much damage. However, in the summer of 1988, forest fires in Yellowstone, the

most famous national park in the country, burned for more than two months and spread over a

huge area, encompassing more than 800,000 acres. Because of the large scale of the damage,

many people called for replacing the “let it burn” policy with a policy of extinguishing forest fires as

soon as they appeared. Three kinds of damage caused by the “let it burn” policy were emphasized

by critics of the policy.

First,

Yellowstone

fires

caused

tremendous

damage

to

the

park’s

trees

and

other

vegetation.

When the fires finally died out, nearly one third of Yellowstone’s land had been scorched. Trees

were

charred

and

blackened

from

flames

and

smoke.

Smaller

plants were

entirely

incinerated.

destruction of habitats and the disruption of food chains would make it impossible for the animals

that survived the fire to return.

Third,

the

compromised

the

value

of

the

park

as

a

tourist

attraction,

which

in

turn

had

negative consequences for the local economy. With several thousand acres of the park engulfed

in flames, the tourist season was cut short, and a large number of visitors decided to stay away. Of

course, local businesses that depended on park visitors suffered as a result.
