II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Environmentalists often fear that tourists will trample all over sensitive natural resource areas,
but tourism may bring the needed and only economic incentives to help drive conservation, said
Bynum Boley. Ecotourism and natural resource conservation already have a mutually beneficial
relationship that is ideal for creating a sustainable partnership.
"Ecotourism destinations benefit in the form of enhanced tourism competitiveness from the
protection of quality natural resources," he said. "Meanwhile, the conservation of these natural
resources is increasingly valued since these pristine natural resources are the foundation of the
ecotourism industry and the driver of all economic benefits associated with ecotourism."
Tourism is a $7.6 trillion global industry, provides 277 million jobs and is a primary income
source for 20 of the world's 48 least-developed countries. It also subsidizes environmental
protection and helps protect, conserve and value cultural resources that might otherwise be
undervalued by the host community, Boley said. In the newspaper, Boley and co-author Gary Green
said that despite past tension between the tourism industry and environmentalists, the two should
team up as allies to fight off increasing conversion of land away from its natural state, Eco tourists
not only provide a boost to the economy in such places, they can also motivate landowners into
keeping the environment in its natural state instead of converting it into something unsustainable.
They could also influence the public perception of conservation, Boley explained, which does not
often favor environmental protection.
“The public has become increasing less prone to respond to environmental messages,” he said.
“Economic messages are needed in order to attract the public's interest.” Too often, Boley and
Green said, unique natural resource areas are converted into urban, suburban and agricultural
developments without considering their ecotourism potential. In addition to the lost ecotourism
revenue, there are a host of negative environmental consequences such as biodiversity loss, water
and food shortages and the land being unable to mitigate the effects of climate change. These areas
are not valued for their unique attributes or the valuable natural resources they provide, Green said,
“so we lose them.” Tourists have historically been seen as having a negative impact on the
environment. Critics complain that they violate fragile and threatened natural environments while
contributing to greenhouse gases from the increased number of flights to these exotic and often
remote locales. While these criticisms are justified, Boley and Green said responsible programs 8
promote education of ecological conservation and environmental sustainability, fostering a greater
understanding and appreciation of these exotic areas.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong
Kong’s food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea
levels rose. The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port
and airport reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which
includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most
recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050, about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it
supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert
conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will
expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it
too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter
in southern and central China, the mainland’s breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there
will be decreased production because of water limitations”, Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the authors of
the report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the 9
demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the
land. “It looks very difficult for the world as a whole”, he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil,
which release gases that trap heal in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased
this century by about 6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well
for the world climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater
than the environmental powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans
said. “China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of
research to see what is going to happen.”
The climate change repot, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David
Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory.
Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to
import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in
southern China will take place elsewhere as well,” he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers
melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of
developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are that sea levels
worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that,
not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western
Reclamation - the whole lot,” Mr. Melville said, adding that sea walls would be needed. Depleted
fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels.
Mr. Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and
encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning. He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.
