Read the following passage about sustainable tourism and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from
13 to 20.
Sustainable tourism aims to minimize the negative impacts of travel while maximizing
benefits for local communities, cultures, and environments. Unlike mass tourism, which often
prioritizes volume and profit, sustainable practices focus on long-term well-being. This
approach recognizes that natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and local economies are
valuable assets that need protection. Key principles include conserving resources, supporting
local businesses, respecting local customs, and ensuring that tourism contributes positively to
the destinations visited, such as fragile ecosystems or historical sites.
The benefits of adopting sustainable tourism are significant. Environmentally, it helps
protect biodiversity and reduce pollution and waste generated by tourist activities.
Economically, it ensures that revenue stays within the local community, supporting small
enterprises and creating fair employment opportunities. Its focus on authentic cultural
experiences also helps preserve local traditions and crafts, offering visitors deeper, more
meaningful interactions. This approach fosters mutual respect between hosts and guests,
enhancing the overall travel experience for everyone involved and promoting cross-cultural
understanding.
However, implementing truly sustainable tourism faces several challenges. Balancing
economic development with conservation requires careful planning and regulation, which can
be difficult to enforce. “Greenwashing,” where businesses falsely market themselves as
sustainable, can mislead consumers and undermine genuine efforts. Educating tourists about
responsible behavior and managing visitor numbers to prevent damage in popular destinations
like Machu Picchu remain ongoing struggles. Furthermore, the initial investment required for
sustainable infrastructure can be prohibitive for smaller communities or businesses.
Despite these difficulties, the movement towards sustainable travel is growing. Consumers
are increasingly aware of their impact and seeking more responsible options. Governments
and international organizations are developing frameworks and certifications to guide
the industry. Innovations in ecofriendly transport and accommodation are also emerging.
Ultimately, achieving sustainability in tourism requires a collaborative effort from travelers,
businesses, and policymakers to ensure that exploring our world does not come at the cost of
damaging it for future generations.

benefits for local communities, cultures, and environments. Unlike mass tourism, which often
prioritizes volume and profit, sustainable practices focus on long-term well-being. This
approach recognizes that natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and local economies are
valuable assets that need protection. Key principles include conserving resources, supporting
local businesses, respecting local customs, and ensuring that tourism contributes positively to
the destinations visited, such as fragile ecosystems or historical sites.
The benefits of adopting sustainable tourism are significant. Environmentally, it helps
protect biodiversity and reduce pollution and waste generated by tourist activities.
Economically, it ensures that revenue stays within the local community, supporting small
enterprises and creating fair employment opportunities. Its focus on authentic cultural
experiences also helps preserve local traditions and crafts, offering visitors deeper, more
meaningful interactions. This approach fosters mutual respect between hosts and guests,
enhancing the overall travel experience for everyone involved and promoting cross-cultural
understanding.
However, implementing truly sustainable tourism faces several challenges. Balancing
economic development with conservation requires careful planning and regulation, which can
be difficult to enforce. “Greenwashing,” where businesses falsely market themselves as
sustainable, can mislead consumers and undermine genuine efforts. Educating tourists about
responsible behavior and managing visitor numbers to prevent damage in popular destinations
like Machu Picchu remain ongoing struggles. Furthermore, the initial investment required for
sustainable infrastructure can be prohibitive for smaller communities or businesses.
Despite these difficulties, the movement towards sustainable travel is growing. Consumers
are increasingly aware of their impact and seeking more responsible options. Governments
and international organizations are developing frameworks and certifications to guide
the industry. Innovations in ecofriendly transport and accommodation are also emerging.
Ultimately, achieving sustainability in tourism requires a collaborative effort from travelers,
businesses, and policymakers to ensure that exploring our world does not come at the cost of
damaging it for future generations.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 21 to 30.
The space race began on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the
first artificial satellite, shifting Cold War tensions into space. The Soviets use of the R7 rocket,
originally designed as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), alarmed the U.S., which
feared potential nuclear threats. This technological rivalry originated in World War II when
Germany's V2 rocket program influenced both nations' space ambitions. The U.S. soon joined
the competition, attempting to launch its own satellite.
On January 31, 1958, the U.S. successfully launched Explorer I, confirming the existence
of the Van Allen radiation belts. This mission was led by Wernher von Braun, a former Nazi
scientist brought to the U.S. through Operation Paperclip. Both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. had
recruited German rocket experts after World War Il, prioritizing their technical skills despite
ethical concerns. The U.S. formed NASA in 1958, consolidating its space programs while the
Soviet Union continued its successes under Sergei Korolev.
[I] The Soviet Union advanced in the space race by launching Sputnik II, carrying Laika,
the first living creature in space. [II] Then, on April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first
human to orbit Earth, marking another Soviet victory. [III] Determined to regain leadership,
U.S. President John F. Kennedy set a bold goal to land an astronaut on the Moon before the
decade ended. [IV] This ambition led to Project Gemini and later Project Apollo.
After years of preparation, Apollo 11 successfully landed on the Moon in 1969, with
Neil Armstrong becoming the first human to walk on its surface. This achievement
marked a turning point in the space race, while the Soviet Union failed to match the U.S.
success.
The Moon landing solidified U.S. dominance in space exploration, effectively ending the
space race. Despite the Cold War competition fading, both nations continued their space
programs, eventually collaborating on projects like the International Space Station. Today,
space exploration remains a global pursuit, with multiple countries contributing to scientific
advancements beyond Earth.
