V. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question.

Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom. For example, a river may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory. Farmers, fishers, and industry leader vie for unrestricted access  to this river, but such freedom could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for future use.

Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries. For example, the headwaters, or source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country through which the river flows. There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream. In addition, the way in which one natural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources. Cutting down a forest near a river, for instance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead to flooding. Eroded soil and silt cloud the river adversely affect many organisms such as fish and important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater for survival.

B. Thủy lợi nông nghiệp

C. Đầu nguồn của một con sông lớn

D. Thiếu hụt tài nguyên thiên nhiên

Thông tin: Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population.

Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries.

(Hai câu đầu tiên của mỗi đoạn văn)

Tạm dịch: Xung đột bảo tồn phát sinh khi tình trạng thiếu hụt tài nguyên thiên nhiên phát triển trước nhu cầu ngày càng tăng từ việc tăng dân số.

Xung đột trở nên tồi tệ hơn khi một nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên vượt qua ranh giới chính trị.

Xung đột bảo tồn phát sinh khi thiếu hụt tài nguyên thiên nhiên ngày càng trầm trọng hơn do nhu cầu ngày càng tăng từ dân số ngày càng tăng. Tranh cãi thường xuyên xung quanh cách sử dụng tài nguyên, hoặc phân bổ và cho ai. Ví dụ, một con sông có thể cung cấp nước cho tưới tiêu nông nghiệp, môi trường sống cho cá và thủy điện cho một nhà máy. Nông dân, ngư dân và lãnh đạo ngành công nghiệp cạnh tranh để được tiếp cận không hạn chế với dòng sông này, nhưng sự tự do đó có thể phá hủy tài nguyên và các phương pháp bảo tồn là cần thiết để bảo vệ sông trong tương lai.

Xung đột tồi tệ hơn khi tài nguyên thiên nhiên vượt qua ranh giới chính trị. Ví dụ, đầu nguồn hoặc nguồn của một con sông lớn có thể nằm ở một quốc gia khác với quốc gia mà dòng sông chảy qua. Không có gì đảm bảo rằng nguồn nước sông sẽ được bảo vệ để đáp ứng nhu cầu tài nguyên ở hạ nguồn. Ngoài ra, cách thức quản lý tài nguyên thiên nhiên có ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên khác. Chặt phá một khu rừng gần một con sông, ví dụ, làm tăng xói mòn, mặt đất bị xói mòn, và có thể dẫn đến lũ lụt. Đất và bùn cát trên sông bị xói mòn làm ảnh hưởng xấu đến nhiều sinh vật như cá và các loài thực vật thủy sinh quan trọng cần nước ngọt sạch, sạch để tồn tại.

Hướng dẫn giải:

Thông tin: Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing demands from a growing human population.

Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question.

As most potential ecotourist sites are inhabited by ethnic minorities, the principle of “encouraging community participation in ecotourism activities” should both create income and help maintain cultural identity. These communities have a deep understanding of traditional festivals, cultivation and land use customs, traditional lifestyle and handicrafts, and historical places. A trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang - Bac Kan, for example, is valuable not only for the Ba Be Lake, but for the opportunity to learn about cultivation customs, dying practices using endemic plants to produce brocading, and traditional handmade boats of precious timber collected in the forest.

Because ecotourism is important for environmental education, maintenance of indigenous culture, and local economic development, both investment and government encouragement are required.

One research shows that 90 percent of ecotourist guides lack environmental knowledge about the flora, fauna, and natural resources in the area, and 88 percent would benefit from ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them. An illustration of wasted potential caused by this lack of training is Ha Long Bay, a world heritage site with immense environmental value - coral reefs, limestone mountains, thousands of flora and fauna species of high biodiversity, and rich cultural identity. But tourists in Ha Long Bay are presently visiting only the Bay and some caves, not accessing environmental information or local cultural activities. In general, the full potential of ecotourism has not yet been reached.

International visitors to Viet Nam often like to visit ethnic minority villages to observe the culture, meet local people, and participate in traditional activities. The ethnic minorities who live in or near nature reserves maintain distinctive lifestyles, cultural identities, and traditional customs. These features are part of the real value of ecotourism. However, local people are not much involved in ecotourism.

In addition, local people still live in poverty, their life closely associates with natural resources. The economic benefits of ecotourism need to be shared with them, but this will not happen without community participation.

An eco tour to the region of ethnic minorities is very valuable because tourists _______.

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.

Tourism and Heritage Protection Travelling is a great thing to do. It helps us learn about different people and different places. Some people travel because they want to see nature. Others travel because they want to make friends and try great food. Of course, a lot of tourists are interested in traditional culture.

Tourism can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another country, they often want to learn more about that country’s traditions, such as music, food, and history. Therefore, the local people in that country will keep their traditional culture alive. They will wear traditional clothing, and sell traditional food. They will also have shows for tourists. These shows can be dances, concerts, plays, or something else.

Tourism also helps people respect each other. If you understand another culture well, you will probably respect that culture much more. You will probably want to protect that culture as well. However, tourism is not always good for traditional culture. Many people say that tourism creates “fake traditional culture”. This means that the local people wear traditional costumes, and do traditional dances only for tourists, but that is not their real lifestyle. Their real lifestyles are similar to the tourists’ lifestyle. They are just pretending because they want to make money.
