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 9 to 14.
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.

C. preventing tourists from travelling D. finding a new form of tourism
Question 12. In paragraph 4, the word "avoid" is closest in meaning to ____.
A. present B. pretend C. prevent D. protest
Question 13. Which of the following is TRUE about the author's opinion?
A. Building extra infrastructure in ecotourism areas must be prohibited.
B. New infrastructure could be accepted as long as it also helps local people.
C. Tourists are consulted about the plans to build new infrastructure.

The environment we live in is facing many serious problems. We need to be aware of these
problems so that we can find ways to protect nature.
A. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. It is one of the
biggest issues facing humans today. It can have serious consequences such as rising sea levels,
polar ice melting, and extreme weather events like floods or heatwaves.
B. Another environmental problem is the cutting and clearing of natural forests. The loss of
forests can have a negative impact on the environment. It can damage the natural habitats of many
animals and put wildlife in danger. It can also destroy the natural soil and lead to climate change.
C. Air pollution is also a serious problem. It is mainly caused by waste gases that come out of
vehicles, machines, or factories. When these harmful gases combine with the water in the air, they
come down as rain or snow, which can damage all forms of life. In addition, this problem leads to
global warming and climate change. It is also a major cause of respiratory diseases or even lung
cancer.
D. Around the world, the number of endangered animals is rising. Many of them disappear
because of pollution and climate change. In addition, humans illegally hunt and kill animals, and

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 9 to 14.
The number of tourists has increased significantly over the years. In 1950, there were only 25
million international tourist arrivals. In 2020, it was estimated that 1.4 billion tourists traveled
each year. While tourism is very important to the economy, there is also a price to pay, especially
in terms of the environment. The negative impact of tourism on the local environment is huge.
Sometimes, the impact is direct, such as when tourists litter the streets or use up natural resources
of the local areas, such as clean water or energy. Other times, the impact is less direct but still
large. When tourists travel, for instance, they often travel by planes or vehicles that use a lot of
fuel. This damages the environment as well. In either case, tourists are knowingly or unknowingly
damaging the environment as they travel. However, it is possible to reduce such a negative impact
on the environment by traveling more responsibly and in a more eco-friendly way.
