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 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.
Question 28: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Benefits and drawbacks of ecotoursim. B. Some Dos for ecotourists.
C. A brief introduction about ecotourism. D. Some Don'ts for ecotourists.
Question 29: In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to _____.
A. environment B. impact C. damage D. tourism
Question 30: According to the passage, what does the ecotourism aim at?
A. reducing the tourism problems B. stopping ecotourism altogether
C. preventing tourists from travelling D. finding a new form of tourism
Question 31: In paragraph 4, the word "avoid" is closest in meaning to _____.
A. pretend B. protest C. present D. prevent
Question 32: Which of the following is TRUE about the author's opinion?
A. New infrastructure could be accepted as long as it also helps local people.
B. Governments are consulted about the plans to build new infrastructure.
C. Building extra infrastructure in ecotourism areas must be prohibited.
D. Tourists are consulted about the plans to build new infrastructure.
