SECTION III: READING
Part 1: Read the text and fill in one word which best fits each gap.
Ecotourism
Snacking on green ants is (60) NOT everyone’s idea of the most delicious holiday
indulgence, but on a recent walk through the Daintree rainforest in Queensland, Australia, Aboriginal
guide Kirsty Norris assured a group of uncertain guests that the traditional food source of her
KukuYalanji tribe was (61) WORTH a try. She might have been right - but luckily for the native
ants and the tourists, rain came (62) streaming down through the canopy, sending (63) ANY possible
food scurrying for cover.
Connecting with nature isn’t a compulsory (64) PART of a stay at an
environmentally friendly resort, but at the Daintree Eco Lodge, (65) WHERE tree-house villas are set
on stilts above the compound’s waterfall-fed creek, many people find themselves doing a bit of
communing while they relax.
(66) ALTHOUGH / THOUGH _ecotourism is increasing in popularity, recording
heady growth worldwide, it is still difficult to define. For some travellers, ecotourism means
eavesdropping (67) ON nature from the comfort of a plush bed with a magnificent view. For others,
it’s about doing without hot showers and trekking across wildernesses. However, industry watchers
say the category’s basic tenet is minimal environmental impact combined with some contribution to
education and conservation.

Part 2. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with
scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands
this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so
many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many
dead animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of
how climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than
any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the
region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze.
This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in
their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when
food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest are
often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves
last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms
Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year.
Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by
the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to
blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases
spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more
than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday”
seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.
(Adapted from https://www.independent.co.uk/)

A. Climate change – The main cause for the death of hundreds of reindeer.
B. Global warming – What are the effects on nature?

 C. It is the northernmost town on our planet.
D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze.
79. According to Ms. Onvik Pedersen, why is the death rate of reindeer so high this year?
A. Because of the high number of calves born. B. Because of heavy rain.
C. Because of natural selection. D. Because of the shortage of vegetation.

A. Arctic reindeer play the most important role in the Arctic ecosystems.
B. the Arctic ecosystems are altering worse because of the global warming.
