Tourism is now among the world‟s most important industries, generate jobs and profits
worth billions of pounds. At the same time, however, mass tourism can have dire effects on
the people and places they embraces – both tourists and the societies and human
environments they visit. We are increasingly familiar with some of the worst effect of 5
unthinking, unmanaged, unsustainable tourism: previous undeveloped coastal villages that
have become sprawling, charmless towns, their seas poisonous by sewage, denuded of
wildlife, their beaches stained by litter and empty tubes of sun-cream. Historic towns, their
streets now choking with traffic, their temples, churches and cathedrals seemingly reduced
to backdrop for holiday snaps that proclaim, “Been there, Done that”. Some of the world‟s 10
richest environments were bruised by the tourist onslaught, their most distinctive wildlife
driven to near-extinction, with wider environmental impacts caused by the fuel-hungry
transport systems used to take holidaying travellers around the world and back again.

We were told that the genetic modification of food would lead to the use of more chemical
sprays. (88)_____. Genetically modified (GM) cotton growers in India, Australia and China are
spraying less than half as much pesticide on their crops; GM corn growers in the United States are
spending less than before on insecticide. British growers of GM sugar beet are spraying herbicide
once instead of five times. (89)_____. Of course, the organic farming lobby argues that it, too, can 6/15
bring back wildlife. (90)_____. Because organic crops require nitrogen grown elsewhere rather
than manufactured from the air in a factory, organic farming is land-hungry. The economist Indur
Goklany has calculated that if the world tried to feed its current population of seven billion people
using the (mainly organic) technologies and yields of 1961, it would require 82% of the world‟s
land area to be cultivated instead of 38%. (91)______. Speaking of food, in Europe it is common
to hear the argument that the world now produces enough food without GM foods. Yes, but how
did it achieve this? By rapidly adopting fertiliser, pesticides and high-yielding varieties. This
„Green Revolution‟ depended on genetically new varieties created by artificial mutation using
nuclear radiation and chemical mutagens.

Learning means acquiring knowledge of developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is
common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning
occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights,
sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents,
siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn
basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a
great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which
are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they 7/15
finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as
getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study
of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to
educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers
need to understand how certain experiences change people‟s behaviors. Employers, politicians,
and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this
storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast,
psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a
result of a person‟s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning
involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound,
smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to
associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant
conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences
(reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching
others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning inclued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
94. According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of?
A. Knowledge acquisition and ability development
B. Acquisition of academic knowledge
C. Acquisition of social and behavioral skills
D. Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom
95. Getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job are mentioned in paragraph 2 as examples of ______.
A. the changes to which people have to orient themselves

Part 5. Read the text and answer the questions 102-115.
Neurologists tend to divide the experience of love into three distinct categories: attraction, lust
and attachment. The combination of all three can make for an intoxicating and lasting bond, but
they are not always experienced together. Frequently, for example, we lust after those with whom
we have no desire of having a long-term relationship; at other time, we feel “attached” to people
in the sense of being drawn to them emotionally or spiritually, but not drawn to them physically.
It is accurate to describe these as “stages” of love – lust tends to come first, then attraction, which
lasts for months or years, and finally attachment, which can keep people together for decades.
These are separate chemical substrates so they can overlap; however, evidence suggests that
attraction has a limited lifespan.
Lust is typically experienced soon after puberty. This is when estrogen and testosterone – the
underlying chemical substrates for lust in women and men respectively – activate themselves in
our bodies for the first time. The primary purpose of lust is believed to be procreation, and the
experience is one of feeling physically drawn, or even “pulled” towards another person.
Pheromones, physical attractiveness and our socialized predispositions for what we seek in a mate
are the factors that activate the sensation of lust. Despite the strength it can have over our psyche,
lust on its own is a very fleeting experience. It can firmly steer people together for their initial
encounters, but it has no power to keep them there.
If the relationship is to last, something called attraction must take place. Attraction is the
intoxicating sensation experienced in the initial period of knowing someone. The “symptoms”
include dizziness, flushed skin, and a loss of appetite and sleep. These are a result of a chemical
cocktail of dopamine and norepinephrine that PEA – a transmitter chemical – unleashes into the
bloodstream when attraction takes place. Dopamine is responsible for the blissful feelings of self-
confidence, joy and motivation that new love brings about; norepinephrine, similar to adrenaline,
brings about palpitations and anxiety. Attraction has more staying power than lust; while its 9/15
intensity fades after a few weeks, the effect of the PEA transmission can continue for some time
between eighteen months and four years. After that, our bodies build up a natural tolerance.
At this stage, a transition to a phase called attachment can occur. The “rush” of attraction is
replaced by endorphins like oxytocin and vasopressin that feel like a gentle, warm sort of
pleasantness – a safe feeling that calms the mind, numbs pain and soothes anxiety. This is a much
more pleasant feeling in which to spend an extended period of time – potentially, forty, fifty or
more years, depending on when you meet your partner. It allows you to live your life with
someone, without being the central obsession in your life. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee
that PEA transmission will evolve into the endorphin stage – in many instances, it will be replaced
by a feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction. It is not a coincidence that peak divorce rates occur
at between four and seven years, as PEA transmission wears away and attachment does not
materialize in many people‟s brain.
Even neurologists agree that chemistry isn‟t everything. There are numerous other factors such
as culture and personality, for which science may never have an explanation. While dopamine is
bliss, however, ignorance is not – neurology has much to contribute to satisfaction in our personal
lives. It may not be a good idea to commit to marriage or spending the rest of your life with
someone if you still feel the blissful rush of PEA transmission, for example. Once your brain has
succumbed to the warming opiates of oxytocin and vasopressin, this will be a safer commitment.
Attachment brings other needs to the foreground, however, while people enjoy the security that
attachment brings about, they do not lose their desires for either lust or attraction. Losing the
ability to give your partner the rush of PEA transmission, while knowing that he may feel this for
other people, can bring about jealousy and anxiety in people. Acknowledging and discussing these
insecurities can alleviate them as it is likely that, to some extent, both partners will be feeling them. Questions 102 – 108 Complete the notes below
