<i><b>Part 11: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate </b></i>
<i><b>the correct answer to each of the questions </b></i>

Matthews says he is providing 'holidays without guilt', insisting that <i>Discovery Initiatives is not a tour </i>
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 <i>Journey Latin America, says: 'We tell our clients that </i>
<b>indigenous </b>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.

diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is <b>jolting</b>, 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.


<b>Question 45:</b> What does the passage mainly discuss?
<b>A. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs </b>



<b>B. The variety of species found in tropical rain forests </b>


<b>C. The time required for species to adapt to new environments </b>
<b>D. The impact of human activities on Earth‟s ecosystems </b>
<b>Question 46:</b> The word “critical” is closest in meaning to


<b>A. complicated</b> <b>B. interesting</b> <b>C. negative</b> <b>D. essential </b>


<b>Question 47:</b> The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that
<b>A. the cause of the dinosaurs‟ extinction is unknown </b>


<b>B. actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species‟ extinction </b>
<b>C. not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity </b>


<b>D. Earth‟s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs‟extinction </b>
<b>Question 48:</b> The word “jolting” is closest in meaning to


<b>A. shocking</b> <b>B. unknown</b> <b>C. illuminating</b> <b>D. predicted </b>

world‟s ecosystems EXCEPT


<b>A. habitat destruction in wetlands </b>


<b>B. the introduction of new varieties of plant species </b>
<b>C. damage to marine ecosystems </b>


<b>D. destruction of the tropical rain forests </b>


<b>Question 50:</b> With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
<b>A. Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy. </b>


<b>B. Humans</b>should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems.


<b>C. The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress. </b>

William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), who wrote under the <b>pseudonym </b>of O. Henry, was born in
North Carolina. His only formal education was to attend his Aunt Lina‟s school until the age of fifteen,
where he developed his lifelong love of books. By 1881 he was a licensed pharmacist. However, within a
year, on the recommendation of a medical colleague of his Father‟s, Porter moved to La Salle County in
Texas for two years herding sheep. During this time, Webster‟s Unabridged Dictionary was his constant
companion, and Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short
stories. He then moved to Austin for three years, and during this time the first recorded use of his
pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling “Oh, Henry” to a family cat. In 1887,
Porter married Athol Estes. He worked as a draftsman, then as a bank teller for the First National Bank.

more than 300 stories and gained fame as America‟s favorite short Story writer. Porter married again in

<b>INTERNET JOBS </b>


Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work online. Of course, there
are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new media has
opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical
expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of Webmaster.
However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and
responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a Webmaster to perform.


To specify the job description of a Webmaster, one needs to <b>identify </b>the hardware and software the
website the Webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software require
different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running internally


or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster
also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will provide people
to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create an accurate webmaster job
description.


Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media‟.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it compasses a constantly growing set of new
technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email, internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD,
streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music, computer
illustration, video games, virtual reality, and computer artistry.


Additionally, many of today‟s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With many
companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of freelance
workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers
from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to such online
jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country.


How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions related to today‟s
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
Internet skills salaries well over $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year,
but salaries can <b>vary </b>greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between
$40,000 to $70,000 a year.
