Part 11: 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

The days of the camera-toting tourist may be numbered Insensitive travelers are being ordered to stop pointing their cameras and camcorders at reluctant local residents Tour companies selling expensive trips

to remote corners of the world, off the well-trodden path of the average tourist, have become increasingly irritated at the sight of the visitors upsetting locals Now one such operator plans to ban clients from

taking any photographic equipment on holidays Julian Mathews is the director of Discovery Initiatives, a

company that is working hand-in-hand with other organizations to offer holidays combining high adventure with working on environmental projects His trips are not cheap; two weeks of white-water rafting and monitoring wildlife in Canada cost several thousand pounds

Matthews says he is providing 'holidays without guilt', insisting that Discovery Initiatives is not a tour

operator but an environmental support company Clients are referred to as 'participants' or 'ambassadors' 'We see ourselves as the next step on from eco-tourism, which is merely a passive form of sensitive travel - our approach is more proactive.'

However, says Matthews, there is a price to pay 'I am planning to introduce tours with a total ban on cameras and camcorders because of the damage they do to our relationships with local people I have seen some horrendous things, such as a group of six tourists arriving at a remote village in the South American jungle, each with a video camera attached to their face That sort of thing tears me up inside Would you like somebody to come into your home and take a photo of you cooking? A camera is like a weapon; it puts up a barrier and you lose all the communication that comes through body language, which effectively means that the host communities are denied access to the so-called cultural exchange.'

Matthews started organizing environmental holidays after a scientific expedition for young people He

subsequently founded Discovery Expeditions, which has helped support 13 projects worldwide With the launch of Discovery Initiatives, he is placing a greater emphasis on adventure and fun, omitting in the

brochure all references to scientific research But his rules of conduct are strict 'In so me parts of the world, for instance, I tell people they should wear long trousers, not shorts, and wear a tie, when eating out It may sound dictatorial, but I find one has a better experience if one is well dressed I don't understand why people dress down when they go to other countries.'

Matthews' views reflect a growing unease among some tour companies at the increasingly cavalier

behaviour of well-heeled tourists Chris Parrott, of Journey Latin America, says: 'We tell our clients that

indigenous people are often shy about being photographed, but we certainly don't tell them not to take a

camera If they take pictures without asking, they may have tomatoes thrown at them.' He also reports that increasing numbers of clients are taking camcorders and pointing them indiscriminately at locals He says: 'People with camcorders tend to be more intrusive than those with cameras, but there is a payoff - the people they are filming get a tremendous thrill from seeing themselves played back on the viewfinder.'(Dethithpt.com)

Crispin Jones, of Exodus, the overland truck specialist, says: 'We don't have a policy but, should cameras

cause offence, our tour leaders will make it quite clear that they cannot be used Clients tend to do what they are told

Earthwatch, which pioneered the concept of proactive eco-tourism by sending paying volunteers to work

on scientific projects around the world, does not ban cameras, but operates strict rules on their use Ed

Wilson, the marketing director of the company, says: 'We try to impress on people the common courtesy

of getting permission before using their cameras, and one would hope that every tour operator would do the same People have to be not only environmentally aware but also culturally aware Some people use the camera as a barrier; it allows them to distance themselves from the reality of what they see I would

like to see tourists putting their cameras away for once, rather than trying to record everything they see.'

Part 12: 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

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two

decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological

diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to

recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth‟s ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth‟s history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction

of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able

to survive in new environments

Question 45: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs

B. The variety of species found in tropical rain forests

C. The time required for species to adapt to new environments

D. The impact of human activities on Earth‟s ecosystems

Question 46: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to

A complicated B interesting C negative D. essential

Question 47: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that

A. the cause of the dinosaurs‟ extinction is unknown

B. actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species‟ extinction

C. not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

D. Earth‟s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs‟extinction

Question 48: The word “jolting” is closest in meaning to

A shocking B unknown C illuminating D. predicted

Question 49: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the

world‟s ecosystems EXCEPT

A. habitat destruction in wetlands

B. the introduction of new varieties of plant species

C. damage to marine ecosystems

D. destruction of the tropical rain forests

Question 50: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

A. Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy

B Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems

C. The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress

D. Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems
