The days of the camera-toting tourist may be numbered Insensitive travelers are beingordered to stop pointing their cameras and camcorders at reluctant local residents Tourcompanies selling expensive trips to remote corners of the world, off the well-trodden path
of the average tourist, have become increasingly irritated at the sight of the visitorsupsetting locals Now one such operator plans to ban clients from taking any photographic
equipment on holidays Julian Mathews is the director of Discovery Initiatives, a company
that is working hand-in-hand with other organizations to offer holidays combining highadventure with working on environmental projects His trips are not cheap; two weeks ofwhite-water rafting and monitoring wildlife in Canada cost several thousand pounds
Matthews says he is providing 'holidays without guilt', insisting that Discovery Initiatives
is not a tour 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
Trang 6emphasis on adventure and fun, omitting in the brochure all references to scientificresearch But his rules of conduct are strict 'In some parts of the world, for instance, I tellpeople they should wear long trousers, not shorts, and wear a tie, when eating out It maysound dictatorial, but I find one has a better experience if one is well dressed I don'tunderstand 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 Journey Latin America, says:
'We tell our clients that indigenous 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, theymay have tomatoes thrown at them.' He also reports that increasing numbers of clients aretaking camcorders and pointing them indiscriminately at locals He says: 'People withcamcorders tend to be more intrusive than those with cameras, but there is a payoff - thepeople they are filming get a tremendous thrill from seeing themselves played back on theviewfinder.' (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 beused Clients tend to do what they are told
Earthwatch, which pioneered the concept of proactive eco-tourism by sending paying
volunteers to work on scientific projects around the world, does not ban cameras, butoperates strict rules on their use Ed Wilson, the marketing director of the company, says:
'We try to impress on people the common courtesy of getting permission before using
their cameras, and one would hope that every tour operator would do the same Peoplehave to be not only environmentally aware but also culturally aware Some people use thecamera as a barrier; it allows them to distance themselves from the reality of what they see
I would like to see tourists putting their cameras away for once, rather than trying to recordeverything they see.'

Part 12: 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.
Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in
the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are theecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to theimportance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in
these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological
diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it willnegatively affect one after another of Earth’s ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and infringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitatdestruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to
Trang 8destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff ofpoisonous 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 orcosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competitionbetween species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that havelived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determinedwhich species survived and which died out
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the humanspecies is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment Infact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even morethan the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth hascontinually 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 existingspecies and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may beable to survive in new environments
Question 45: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs
B.The variety of species found in tropical rain forests
C.The time required for species to adapt to new environments
D.The impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystems
Question 46: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to
A complicated B interesting C negative D essential Question 47: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to
emphasize that
A.the cause of the dinosaurs’ extinction is unknown
B.actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction
C.not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity
D.Earth’s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs’extinction
Question 48: The word “jolting” is closest in meaning to
Trang 9Question 49: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans
on the world’s ecosystems EXCEPT
A.habitat destruction in wetlands
B.the introduction of new varieties of plant species
C.damage to marine ecosystems
D.destruction of the tropical rain forests
Question 50: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to
agree?
A.Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy
B.Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems
C.The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress
D.Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems
