VII. Choose the best answer.
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 additional, 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.
1. The word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. close to nature B. easily understood
C. clearly different from others D. staying the same for a long time
2. In order to develop ecotourism, local communities should ____.
A. change their distinctive lifestyles B. share the economic benefits of
ecotourism
C. depend on natural resources D. take part in all aspects of
ecotourism
3. An ecotour to the region of ethnic minorities is very valuable because tourists
____.
A. can understand the aspects of cultures and traditions
B. can make a trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang - Bac Kan
C. can learn dying practices using endemic plants to produce brocading
D. can make traditional boats of precious timber collected in the forest
4. Ecotourism can bring all the following benefits EXCEPT ____.
A. establishing more national parks and nature reserves
B. introducing cultures of ethnic minorities to foreign tourists
C. maintaining cultural identity
D. providing opportunities to learn about traditional customs
5. Tourist guides who lack environmental knowledge can't ____.
A. get ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them
B. make ethnic minorities have a deep understanding of their traditional festivals
C. make tourists access all environmental information or local cultural activities
D. take tourists to Ha Long Bay, a world heritage site with immense environmental
value
XIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
The biggest difference between an eco-lodge and a green hotel is the setting in
which you'll find them. Eco lodges tend to be more remote, located in relatively
pristine natural environments such as beaches, jungles and mountains. Green
hotels, on the other hand, are more often associated with cities and towns.
Eco lodges and green hotels both emphasize elements such as environmental
responsibility and minimizing negative impact. The best ones offer renewable
energy sources, recycling services, eco-friendly toiletries, energy efficient lighting,
locally sourced food, organic linens and towels, non-toxic cleaning supplies, non-
disposable dishes, water conservation methods and various other sustainability-
focused initiatives.
But eco lodges tend to be more dependent on the natural environment than green
hotels. They are also generally more active in nature and wildlife conservation,
more focused on educating visitors about the flora and fauna of local ecosystems,
and more deeply connected with the area's indigenous culture (whose influence is
often incorporated into the lodge's decor and restaurant menu).
The best eco lodges also work to ensure positive relationships with the local
people. They train and employ them at fair wages, take part in community
development initiatives, offer activities that help visitors conserve and appreciate
local customs, and contribute to the local economy. In this way, they reinforce the
notion of ecotourism as a more sustainable long-term business model than altering
or destroying habitats for quick financial gains.

B. they create job opportunities for local people
C. they are closely connected with the local culture
