Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for
each of the questions.
Tourism and Heritage Protection Travelling is a great thing to do. It helps us learn about different people and
different places. Some people travel because they want to see nature. Others travel because they want to make friends and
try great food. Of course, a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture.

Tourism can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another country, they
often want to learn more about that country’s traditions, such as music, food, and history. Therefore, the local people in
that country will keep their traditional culture alive. They will wear traditional clothing, and sell traditional food. They
will also have shows for tourists. These shows can be dances, concerts, plays, or something else.

Tourism also helps people respect each other. If you understand another culture well, you will probably respect
that culture much more. You will probably want to protect that culture as well. However, tourism is not always good for
traditional culture. Many people say that tourism creates “fake traditional culture”. This means that the local people wear
traditional costumes, and do traditional dances only for tourists, but that is not their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are
similar to the tourists’ lifestyle. They are just pretending because they want to make money.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Since the early eighties, we have been only too aware of the devastating effects of large-scale environmental
pollution. Such pollution is generally the result of poor government planning in many developing nations or the
shortsighted, selfish policies of the already industrialized countries, which encourage a minority of the world’s population
to squander the majority of its natural resources.

While events such as the deforestation of the Amazon jungle or the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl continue to
receive high media exposure, as do acts of environmental sabotage, it must be remembered that not all pollution is on this
grand scale. A large proportion of the world's pollution has its source much closer to home. The recent spillage of crude
oil from an oil tanker accidentally discharging its cargo straight into Sydney not only caused serious damage to the harbor
foreshores but also created severely toxic fumes which hung over the suburbs for days and left the angry residents
wondering how such a disaster could have been allowed to happen.

Avoiding pollution can be a fulltime job. Try not to inhale traffic fumes; keep away from Chemical plants and
building-sites; wear a mask when cycling. It is enough to make you want to stay at home. But that, according to a
growing body of scientific evidence, would also be a bad idea. Research shows that levels of pollutants such as hazardous
gases, particulate matter and other chemical 'nasties’ are usually higher indoors than out, even in the most polluted cities.
Since the average American spends 18 hours indoors for every hour outside, it looks as though many environmentalists
may be attacking the wrong target.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for
each of the questions.

Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good, but often it is negative.
For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage the environment. The question is - how can we
minimize the problems without preventing people from travelling and visiting places?

The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment and local
people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when they visit a place.

It's great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a number of key
points. Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldn't interfere with wildlife and they should
respect local customs and traditions.

Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs infrastructure - roads, airports
and hotels. The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are needed and, by building more of these, you can't
avoid damaging the environment.

But, of course, things aren't so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty doesn't mean that you
shouldn't benefit from things like better roads. As long as the improvements benefit the local people and not just the
tourists, and the local communities are consulted on plans and changes, then is there really a problem?

In 2002 the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". Over the past twenty years, more and more
people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such as Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Kenya, ecotourism
represents a significant proportion of the tourist industry.
