　　解题思路

　　不应该： 1. 文化遗产和自然景观是属于整个人类，而不仅仅是某一个群体，差异性收费是对于国外游客人权的侵害。 2. 这种歧视性的标准让千里而来的游客们感觉受到不尊重和侮辱，导致在国际社会口碑差，长期看，这些景区将流失大量的外国游客。应该： 1. 这些文化，历史和自然景点都是当地的社会在维护和管理，这消耗了当地大众的税收和人力，所以当地居民的低票价是合理的，这是一种社会对于他们的补偿。 2. 国外游客的到来严重干扰了当地人们的生活，带来了垃圾，噪音，和文化冲突，所以他们应该多收费。 3. 很多文化景点承担着当地的宗教典礼的功能，高票价能限制国外游客的数量，有利于这些文化活动的顺利进行。

　　Irrefutably, with international tourism serving as the backbone of many economies of the world, there is a long-term debate about whether overseas tourists should pay more for visiting scenic spots and historical relics than local inhabitants. Publicly, some say yes and some say no. Personally, I think the higher price for foreigners is generally acceptable or even indispensable, and the supporting reasons will be expounded in the following paragraphs. The primary reason against the difference of charge lies in the fairness. After mixture over centuries, present culture elements have been the universal wealth worldwide, far beyond the borders of nations, races or politics, which means in the eyes of foreigners, charging equally is a necessity because it represents their rights to freely and fairly appreciate a common culture. A good example is the museum of Britain which deposits, depicts and displays thousands of exotic items, such as monuments from Egypt, porcelains from China and marble sculptures from Greece and Rome. Obviously, there is no justification for a Chinese, an Egyptian or an Italian to pay more for watching these antiques stemming from their own countries. However, there are two fundamental arguments for supporting more fees on foreign tourists. Firstly, invisible initial payment of locals is never printed on the ticket, but it should not be overlooked. In fact, the protection of these cultural and historical spots mainly depends on domestic resources like social tax, jobs and efforts from the local public. Therefore, it is reasonable for local residents to own the admission at a low price, in terms of their hidden contributions to maintaining these places by paying tax, financial donation and on-holiday voluntary activities like cleaning-up program for local museums or old temples. In other words, for foreign travelers who are non-taxpayers for the local, there should not be an allowance of low-price privilege for them. In addition, higher expense is an option to avoid the population expansion of foreign tourists. Actually, for local community, many historical buildings serve the religious function with the superiority over the tour purpose. For example, in China, many temples are naturally applied by locals for holding the traditional ceremony of ancestor worship. However, this solemn process is very likely to be influenced and interrupted by the overflow of international tourists, for the reason that their visiting would make the site overcrowded and noisy. Therefore, by charging foreign travelers more, the total amount of visitors would be limited, thus ensuring a quiet and safe historical place to fulfill its cultural missions. In conclusion, disparate criteria of charge for foreign visitors are reasonable. Although a certain culture now belongs to the whole world, instead of the local population, it is undeniable that higher prices are impartial for foreigners who make no contributions to the preservation of historic attractions, and are serving to prevent local cultural spots from being overcrowded.(474字)
