Part 2: 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 following question.
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.
Its great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a number of key points. Tourists shouldnt drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldnt 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 cant avoid damaging the environment.
But, of course, things arent so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty doesnt mean that you shouldnt 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.
Question 27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A brief introduction about ecotourism B. Some Dos for ecotourists
C. Some Donts for ecotourists D. Benefits and drawbacks of ecotourism
Question 28. In paragraph 1, the word it refers to ____.
A. tourism B. environment C. impact D. damage
Question 29. According to the passage, what does the ecotourism aim at?
A. stopping ecotourism altogether B. reducing the tourism problems
C. preventing tourists from travelling D. finding a new form of tourism
Question 30. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as an activity to protect the environment?
A. not littering and had better stay on the paths B. not interfering with wildlife
C. respecting local customs and traditions D. not hunting animals for food
Question 31. In paragraph 4, the word avoid is closest in meaning to ____.
A. present B. pretend C. prevent D. protest

Audio script 1
Kim: Hi, Mai. How’s your English learning going?
Mai: It’s OK, Kim. I’ve been doing some exercises on my language app.
Kim: That’s great to hear, but have you tried the new way of learning Mr Johnson mentioned in class?
Mai: No, I haven’t had time to check it out yet. What is it?
Kim: It’s an online tutoring service where you can have conversations with native speakers to practise your speaking skills.
Mai: Really? That sounds interesting. Have you tried it out?
Kim: Yeah, I just had a session yesterday. My tutor was from the US, and we talked about cultural differences between our countries. We even played some games that made the whole session very engaging and fun.
Mai: That sounds awesome! Did you gain much from it?
Kim: Definitely. He helped me improve my grammar by highlighting areas I was weak at, but he did it in a constructive way. Also, he corrected some other mistakes I wasn’t even aware I was making!
Mai: Wow, I must definitely try this new system when I get back home tonight. Thanks for telling me about it, Kim!
Kim: Anytime, happy learning!
Audio script 2
Leah:
You know, my aunt is a scientist and she’s leading a team of biologists studying wildlife in Antarctica.
Andy:
A female lead scientist!? That’s quite uncommon.
Leah:
That’s true. This is indeed a very male-dominated field. She started when she was twenty-five and got promoted after working for twenty years. If it was ten years ago, she would not be a lead scientist.
Andy:
Gender equality has come a long way.
Leah:
But still not enough in my opinion.
Andy:
Totally agree… So what does your aunt do exactly?
Leah:
Her team monitors the population of King Penguins and its natural habitat which is increasingly limited.
Andy:
How come?
Leah:
Because of ice melting which was a result of climate change.
Andy:
That’s awful.
Leah:
However, the penguin is not the only wild animal whose habitat is at risk. Due to illegal trading, deforestation, and global warming, many animals are endangered.
Andy:
Is there something humans can do to protect these animals’ habitats?
Leah:
Well, for some species, it’s already too late as actions should have been taken earlier.
Andy:
There must be something that we can do and awareness of this issue should be raised.
Leah:
My aunt sometimes conducts free online classes about wildlife in Antarctica. I think we can help her promote it.
Andy:
That’s a great idea. Let’s join her next time.
Leah:
Sure!
