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 questions (1.0 point)
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.

A. A brief introduction about ecotourism B. Some Dos for ecotourists
C. Some Don'ts for ecotourists D. Benefits and drawbacks of

Question 42: In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to ____.
A. tourism B. environment C. impact D. damage
Question 43: 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 44: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an activity to
protect the environment?
A. not littering B. not interfering with wildlife
 C. respecting local customs and traditions D. not hunting animals for food

A. present B. pretend C. prevent D. protest
