ECOTOURISM

Ecotourism lacks a uni versally-accepted de inition, but is generally regarded as responsible and

travel to natural areas that both conserves the environment and improves the well-being of those living
there. At the heart of it is the assumption that in a predominantly capitalist world (25) ___________nature
plays second iddle to creating wealth, any conservation needs to pay for itself. Money generated from
ecotourism is invested back into the conservation of the environment it impacts upon.

5
Supporters argue that, by involving residents in accommodating tourists and acting as guides, (26)________
. ecotourism aids development, both regionally and nationally. In (27)__________ cases, communities work
as equal partners with ecotourism organisations rather than just as employees. However, some detractors
point out that the environment is effectively prioritised above the needs of residents. Ecotourism’s
apparent obsession with this, far from giving a boost to the development of wealth in a community, can
actually damage the ability of the majority of inhabitants to (28)_________________________ themselves out of
poverty.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.

The family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone
substantial changes during the twentieth century. In particular there has been a rise in the number of
single- person households, which increased from 18 to 29 per cent of all households between 1971 and
2002. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than married people. Fifty
years ago, this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.

In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very dif icult, expensive and took a long
time. Today, people's views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties,
live together (cohabit) without getting married. Only about 60% of these couples will eventually get
married.

In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born
to unmarried cohabiting) parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16
and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without irst being
married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 per cent of births in the UK were to
cohabiting couples.

People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children
immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties.

The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages ending in
divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being married.

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 34 to 40.

Alaska is disappearing slowly, but surely. It is estimated that since the 1950s, as much as ifteen percent of
Alaska’s land area has disappeared. How can a whole state be disappearing? The problem is that Alaska’s
glaciers are melting. The state has more than 100,000 glaciers. These glaciers account for about 75,000
square kilometers, or ive percent, of the state’s area. That is an area of land larger than Ireland!

According to a recent report by the US Geological Survey, ninty-nine percent of Alaska’s glaciers are either
retreating or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures.
Since the 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by almost 3°C. Additionally, the
average winter temperature has increased by over 6°C. Presently, an estimated 100 cubic kilometers of

7
ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future, as some
scientists predict that the average world temperature could go up 4 to 7°c by the year 2100.

Another problem facing Alaska is its thawing permafrost. Much of the land in Alaska used to be
permanently frozen or frozen for most of the year. Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of
problems for people living in AlaskA. Roads and utility poles are collapsing as the ground around and
under them warms and softens. Also, the hard permafrost that originally prevented beaches from
eroding during violent storms is now melting. People who live along Alaska’s coasts are being forced to
relocate. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the entire community. The
melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both affecting the forests of Alaska. As the
permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer seasons are
appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasing in numbers as a result of warmer
winter temperatures. It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow and reproduce in very

cold weather. However, due to the increase in temperatures, spruce-bark beetles are reproducing faster

and damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged in two. If something cannot be done
to changte things, Alaska’s forests will not survive the turn of the century.

Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weather temperature.

Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures are warming,
affecting Alaska for the worse. Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the
world in the next century.
