to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Cars have replaced bicycles as the primary means of transport in many Chinese cities but,
with air pollution a major problem for the country, the bike is making a comeback, thanks to
digital technology, and some 21 st Century thinking. China was once considered to be the
"Kingdom of the Bicycle," with bikes dominating city streets across the country, but over the
past four decades, China's dramatic economic prosperity and urbanization has seen many
people move to motor vehicles as their primary means of transport, contributing to a marked
deterioration in air quality.
In Hangzhou, a city in eastern China that was once described by the Italian explorer Marco
Polo as "the finest and most splendid city in the world," air pollution has had a devastating
effect. According to data backed by the World Health Organization (WHO), Hangzhou's air
pollution is well over WHO's safe level. However, in a bid to improve public health and the
environment, the Hangzhou authorities have put a fresh emphasis on cycling, which, allied
with digital technology, is helping to cut pollution: other cities are following their example.
Over the past decade, the local government has been improving bike-friendly infrastructure,
such as lanes and traffic signals created solely for cyclists, and has provided almost 86,000
public bikes. A smart card allows users to easily access all forms of public transport, from
bikes to boats to buses.
As well as leading the Chinese cycling resurgence, Hangzhou is home to an innovative way
to encourage more sustainable lifestyles, with an app that is helping to stop desertification, cut
air pollution and plant millions of new trees. The "Ant Forest" mini-program, a Hangzhou-
based project from giant Chinese payments and lifestyle app Alipay, incites users to make
small, environmentally friendly decisions in their daily lives, such as cycling rather than
driving to work, or recycling clothes. When users perform any carbon-reducing activities,
they are rewarded with "green energy" points. As they accumulate enough virtual points, a
real tree is planted. According to Ant Financial, more than 100 million trees have been
planted, thanks to the low-carbon actions of 500 million individuals, roughly 5% of the
world's population.

Part 9. 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 from 36 to 42.
Tourism has so far brought great benefits to the economy, but it has also contributed to
environmental degradation, especially biodiversity deterioration. Thus, the concept of
"sustainable development"- development which meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs must be factored into
tourism development. This consideration is reflected in the term "ecotourism," which is
referred to variously as ecological or environmental tourism, nature or green tourism,
sustainable or responsible tourism.
Ecotourism involves travel to relatively undisturbed natural areas with the specific object
of studying, admiring, and enjoying scenery, plants, and animals, as well as any cultural
features found in these areas. It is distinguished from mass or resort tourism by its lower
impact on the environment, lower infrastructure requirements, and its role in educating
tourists about natural environments and cultural values. Fully aware of its significance, the
government of Viet Nam has prioritized ecotourism in its strategy for tourism development to
ensure both sustainability and economic benefits. Though ecotourism in Viet Nam is at a
beginning stage of development, it is expected to grow strongly through support from
government and international organizations.
Viet Nam is rich in culture identity, with fifty-four peoples whose indigenous knowledge
should also be accessible to visitors. One of the principles of ecotourism is to preserve
cultural integrity because human value cannot be separated from natural value. As most
potential ecotourism sites are inhabited by ethnic minorities, the principle of "encouraging
community participation in ecotourism activities" should both create income and help
maintain cultural identity. These communities have a deep understanding of traditional
festivals, cultivation and land use customs, culinary culture, traditional lifestyle and
handicrafts, and historical places. A trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang-Bac Kan, for
example, is valuable not only for the natural Ba Be Lake, but for the opportunity to learn
about cultivation customs, dying practices using endemic plants to produce brocading (Cham
weaving), and traditional handmade boats of precious timber collected in the forest.
