1 Many people nowadays are keen to get away from it all for couple of weeks
2 without putting too much of strain on the environment. In terms of maintaining the
3 moral high ground, the benefits of an ecotourism holiday seem overwhelming. And for
4 those who want to go a step further and drastically reduce their environment impact,
5 how much do we really need to rough it? The answer, it seems, is more complicated you
6 might at first think.
7 For those who crave a bit for luxury in a warm climate, there are countless resorts to
8 choose from, aimed squarely at cash-rich, time-poor Europeans and North Americans.
9 Resorts as Australia's Turtle Beach and Malaysia's Sukai Resort are in a par with some of
10 the most luxurious non-eco establishments. But they don't come cheap. A five
11 days package holiday for two in one of these places can easily set you back two thousand
12 pounds. Plus there's the awkward fact that you still need to cover considerable distances
13 in some gas-guzzling mode of transport to get there from the first place.
14 Surprisingly, nearer the another end of the scale, a week of luxury at the UK's
15 priciest and most polluting resort, Gluttonness in Scotland turns out to be more than an
16 equal for the eco-tourism rainforest options when you factor in the huge carbon
footprint that your flight would otherwise create.

Enjoy the benefits of stress!
Are you looking forward to another busy week? You should be according to some experts.
They argue that the stress encountered in our daily lives is not only good for us, but essential to
survival. They say that the response to stress, (1) _________creates a chemical called adrenalin,
helps the mind and (2) ________ to act quickly in emergencies. Animals and human beings use it to
meet the hostile conditions which exist on the planet. Whilst nobody denies the pressures of
everyday life, what is surprising is that we are yet to develop successful ways of dealing (3) ________
them. Even the experts consider the current strategies to be inadequate and often dangerous. They
believe that (4) ________ of trying to manage our response to stress with drugs or relaxation
techniques, we must exploit it. Apparently, research shows that people who create conditions of stress
for (5) ________ by doing exciting and risky sports or looking for challenges, cope (6) _______
better with life's problems. Activities of this type have been shown to create a lot of emotion;
people may actually cry or feel extremely uncomfortable. But there is a point (7) _________which
they realize they have succeeded and know that it was a positive experience. This is because we
learn through challenges and difficulties. That's how we get our wisdom. (8) _________of us,
unfortunately, understand this fact. For example, many people believe they (9) _________ from
stress at work, and take time off as a result. Yet it has been found in some companies that by far
(10) __________ healthiest people are those with the most responsibility. So next time you're in a
stressful situation, just remember that it will be a positive learning experience and could also benefit
your health!

Part II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question. (20
points)
DESERTIFICATION
Desertification is the degradation of once-productive land into unproductive or poorly
productive land. Since the first great urban-agricultural centers in Mesopotamia were established
nearly 6,000 years ago, human activity has had a destructive impact on soil quality, leading to
gradual desertification in virtually every area of the world.
It is a common misconception that desertification is caused by droughts. Although drought
does make land more vulnerable, well-managed land can survive droughts and recover, even in arid
regions. Another mistaken belief is that the process occurs only along the edges of deserts. In fact, it
may take place in any arid or semiarid region, especially where poor land management is practised .
Page 7 of 14
Most vulnerable, however, are the transitional zones between deserts and arable land;
wherever human activity leads to land abuse in these fragile marginal areas, soil destruction is
inevitable.
[1] Agriculture and overgrazing are the two major sources of desertification. [2] Large-scale
farming requires extensive irrigation, which ultimately destroys lands by depleting its nutrients and
leaching minerals into the topsoil. [3] Grazing is especially destructive to land because, in addition
to depleting cover vegetation, herds of grazing mammals also trample the fine organic particles of
the topsoil, leading to soil compaction and erosion. [4] It takes about 500 years for the earth to
build up 3 centimeters of topsoil. However, cattle ranching and agriculture can deplete as much as 2
to 3 centimeters of topsoil every 25 years - 60 to 80 times faster than it can be replaced by nature.
Salination is a type of land degradation that involves an increase in the salt content of the soil.
This usually occurs as a result of improper irrigation practices. The greatest Mesopotamian empires-
Sumer, Akkad and Babylon - were built on the surplus of the enormously productive soil of the
ancient Tigris-Euphrates alluvial plain. After nearly a thousand years of intensive cultivation, land
quality was in evident decline. In response, around 2800 BC the Sumerians began digging the huge
Tigris - Euphrates canal system to irrigate the exhausted soil. A temporary gain in crop yield was
achieved in this way, but over-irrigation was to have serious and unforeseen consequences. From as
early as 2400 BC we find Sumerian documents referring to salinization as a soil problem. It is
believed that the fall of the Akkadian Empire around 2150 BC may have been due to a catastrophic
failure in land productivity; the soil was literally turned into salt. Even today, four thousand years
later, vast tracks of salinized land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers still resemble rock - hard
fields of snow.
Soil erosion is another form of desertification. It is a self-reinforcing process; once the cycle
of degradation begins, conditions are set for continual deterioration. As the vegetative cover begins
to disappear, soil becomes more vulnerable to raindrop impact. Water runs off instead of soaking in
to provide moisture for plants. This further diminishes plant cover by leaching away nutrients from
the soil. As soil quality declines and runoff is increased, floods become more frequent and more
severe. Flooding washes away topsoil, the thin, rich, uppermost layer of the earth’s soil, and leaves
finer underlying particles more vulnerable to wind erosion. Topsoil contains the earth’s greatest
concentration of organic matter and microorganisms, and is where most of the earth’s land-based
biological activity occurs. Without this fragile coat of nutrient-laden material, plant life cannot
exist. An extreme case of its erosion is found in the Sahel, a transitional zone between the Sahara
Desert and the tropical African rain forests; home to some 56 million people. Overpopulation and
overgrazing have opened the hyper arid land to wind erosion, which is stripping away the protective
margin of the Sahel, and causing the desert to grow at an alarming rate. Between 1950 and 1975,
the Sahara Desert spread 100 kilometers southward through the Sahel.

1. Which of the following statements is true about desertification?

A. It has a history as long as that of civilization.
B. It was just as serious in the past as it is today.
C. It is a fairly recent problem.
D. Ancient societies managed the problem well.

Page 8 of 14
2. According to the passage, many people’s understanding of desertification is incorrect
because_________
A. they do not think of it as a serious problem.
B. they see it as being reversible.
C. they do not see it as being caused by human activity.
D. they think of it as a very slow process.
3. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence
in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential
information.
A. Most of the vulnerable areas are in transition from desert to arable land; a process that
because of human activity and the delicate nature of these areas, always leads to soil loss.
B. Human activity in the transition areas is vulnerable because of the fragile nature of these
areas that are neither desert nor arable land because they have suffered damage to the soil
C. Soil loss in the transitional zones is especially severe where human activity is damaging
the environment through agriculture which is causing the loss of soil.
D. It is the areas that exist between the deserts and the land that is usable for agriculture that
are most at risk because they are susceptible to poor land management methods from human
activity which will always result in the loss of soil.
4. The word “compaction” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A. fragmentation B. depletion C. disruption D. compression
5. According to the passage, agriculture furthers desertification through which of the following
activities?
A. The repetitive planting of the same crops
B. Irrigation
C. The stripping away of native vegetation
D. Over fertilization
6. The word “degradation” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.
A. rejuvenation B. deterioration C. contribution D. consumption
7. Paragraph 4 of the passage serves mainly to do which of the following?
A. Show the progress of desertification down through history
B. Propose a method for dealing with the desertification problem.
C. Describe one process that leads to desertification
D. Describe the main cause of desertification in one particular area
8. The word “leaching” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to________.
A. washing B. depositing C. concentrating D. dispersing
9. The word “its” in paragraph 5 refers to ___________.
A. Topsoil’s B. Plant life’s
C. Biological activity’s D. nutrient-laden material’s
10. Look at numbers [1], [2], [3], [4] in paragraph 3 of the passage. Where would the following
sentence best fit?
Each furthers the process dramatically, but they act in quite different ways.
A. [1] B. [2] C. [3] D. [4]

Part III. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. (20 points)
FOOD OF THOUGHT
A. There are not enough classrooms at the Msekeni primary school, so half the lessons take place
in the shade of yellow-blossomed acacia trees. Given this shortage, it might seem odd that one
of the school’s purpose-built classrooms has been emptied of pupils and turned into a
storeroom for sacks of grain. But it makes sense. Food matters more than shelter.
B. Msekeni is in one of the poorer parts of Malawi, a landlocked southern African country of
exceptional beauty and great poverty. No war lays waste Malawi, nor is the land unusually
crowded or infertile, but Malawians still have trouble finding enough to eat. Half of the
children under five are underfed to the point of stunting. Hunger blights most aspects of
Malawian life, so the country is as good a place as any to investigate how nutrition affects
development, and vice versa.
C. The headmaster at Msekeni, Bernard Kumanda, has strong views on the subject. He thinks food
is a priceless teaching aid. Since 1999, his pupils have received free school lunches. Donors
such as the World Food Programme (WFP) provide the food: those sacks of grain (mostly
mixed maize and soyabean flour, enriched with vitamin A) in that converted classroom. Local
volunteers do the cooking – turning the dry ingredients into a bland but nutritious slop, and
spooning it out on to plastic plates. The children line up in large crowds, cheerfully singing a
song called ―We is getting porridge.
D. When the school‘s feeding programme was introduced, enrolment at Msekeni doubled. Some
of the new pupils had switched from nearby schools that did not give out free porridge, but
most were children whose families had previously kept them at home to work. These families
were so poor that the long-term benefits of education seemed unattractive when set against the
short-term gain of sending children out to gather firewood or help in the fields. One plate of
porridge a day completely altered the calculation. A child fed at school will not howl so
plaintively for food at home. Girls, who are more likely than boys to be kept out of school, are
given extra snacks to take home.
E. When a school takes in a horde of extra students from the poorest homes, you would expect
standards to drop. Anywhere in the world, poor kids tend to perform worse than their better-off
classmates. When the influx of new pupils is not accompanied by any increase in the number of
teachers, as was the case at Msekeni, you would expect standards to fall even further. But they
have not. Pass rates at Msekeni improved dramatically, from 30% to 85%. Although this was
an exceptional example, the nationwide results of school feeding programmes were still pretty
good. On average, after a Malawian school started handing out free food it attracted 38% more
girls and 24% more boys. The pass rate for boys stayed about the same; while for girls it
improved by 9.5%.

Page 10 of 14
F. Better nutrition makes for brighter children. Most immediately, well-fed children find it easier
to concentrate. It is hard to focus the mind on long division when your stomach is screaming
for food. Mr. Kumanda says that it used to be easy to spot the kids who were really
undernourished. They were the ones who stared into space and didn’t respond when you asked
them questions he says. More crucially, though, more and better food helps brains grow and
develop. Like any other organ in the body, the brain needs nutrition and exercise. But if it is
starved of the necessary calories, proteins and micronutrients, it is stunted, perhaps not as
severely as a muscle would be, but stunted nonetheless. That is why feeding children at schools
works so well. And the fact that the effect of feeding was more pronounced on girls than on
boys gives a clue to who eats first in rural Malawian households. It isn‘t the girls.
G. On a global scale, the good news is that people are eating better than ever before. Homo
sapiens has grown 50% bigger since the industrial revolution. Three centuries ago, chronic
malnutrition was more or less universal. Now, it is extremely rare in rich countries. In
developing countries, where most people live, plates and rice bowls are also fuller than ever
before. The proportion of children under five in the developing world who are malnourished to
the point of stunting fell from 39% in 1990 to 30% in 2000, says the World Health
Organization (WHO). In other places, the battle against hunger is steadily being won. Better
nutrition is making people cleverer and more energetic, which will help them grow more
prosperous. And when they eventually join the ranks of the well off, they can start fretting
about growing too fat.
