Culture beliefs differ as to whether directness or indirectness is considered positive. In the
mainstream American culture, the ideal (34) _______ of communication includes being direct
rather than indirect (“ideal” here means that the culture values this style, although not everyone
speaks directly). There are several expressions in English (35) _______ emphasize the
importance of being direct: “Get to the point! Don't beat around the bush! Let's get down to
business!". These sayings all indicate the importance of dealing directly with issues rather than
avoiding them. One way to determine whether a culture favours a direct or indirect style in
communication is to find out how the people in that culture express disagreement or how they

Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote (xa
xôi) destinations, staying with local people and learning about their culture and way of life.
They stay in local accommodation, share facilities with local people, and join in with meals and
celebrations. At the moment, less than one percent of holidays are tribal tourism holidays, but this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign
exchange involves staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes
visitors to places where the lifestyle is very different from that in their home location. Those
who have been on a tribal holiday explain that experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction.
They say that it offers them the chance to live in a way they never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided. The
argument is about whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits them. The
main problem is that, because tribal tourism is relatively new, the long-term influences on local
populations have not been studied in much detail. Where studies have been carried out, the
effects have been found to be negative.
So, is it possible to experience an exotic culture without harming it in some way? “With a
bit of thought, we can maximize the positive influences and minimize the negative,” says the
company director Hilary Waterhouse. “The most important thing for a tribal tourist is to show
respect for, learn about, and be aware of, local customs and traditions. Always remember you’re a guest.”
Question 39: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Different Customs of a Tribe
B. Peak Holiday Seasons
C. Holidays with a Difference
D. An Old Tourist Destination
Question 40: The word “They” in paragraph 1 refers to...... A. travellers
B. remote destinations C. local people D. facilities
Question 41: According to paragraph 2, what is the main attraction of tribal tourism?
A. Tourists can interact with other foreign visitors.
B. Tourists can explore beauty spots in remote areas.
C. Tourists can experience a different lifestyle.
D. Tourists can stay with people of the same values.
Question 42: The word “divided” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to....... A. important B. similar C. interesting D. different
Question 43: According to Hilary Waterhouse, the most important thing for a tribal tourist is to......
A. respect local customs and traditions
B. be accompanied by other travelers
C. learn about other guests
D. forget about negative experiences
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 39- 43
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different
from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of
animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a
lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely
together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are
found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South
America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The
second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America,
Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs
of our planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's
fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species
of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat
first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes,
chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take
when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are
even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it's
surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square
meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for
cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable
species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of
rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
Question 44: What is the author's purpose in the passage?
A. To prove that rainforests are indispensable in our lives
B. To explain why people have destroyed a large area of tropical rainforests.
C. To provide factual information about tropical rainforests for readers.
D. To prevent people from damaging tropical rainforests.
Question 45: Why don't people know it's raining in the rainforests?
A. Because the branches are too dense for the rain to touch the ground.
B. Because it hardly rains in the rainforests.
C. Because they are the habitats of millions of flora and fauna.
D. Because the trees grow very tall there.
Question 46: The word "humid" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______. A. moist B. dry C. cloudy D. overwhelmed
Question 47: The word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to _______.
A. pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, com, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar B. plants C. the drugs D. rainforests
Question 48: The word "countless" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _______. A. numberless B. trivial C. derisive D. meaningless
Question 49: The following are the facts about rainforests, EXCEPT _______.
A. The rainforest in Western Africa ranks second after the Amazon in South America in the covered.
B. The only places to see rainforests are in tropical zones.
C. Rainforests account for about one sixth of the Earth's surface.
D. There's a considerable variety of plants and animals in the rainforests.
Question 50: What can be inferred from the last passage?
A. The more rainforests are destroyed, the harder people's life will become.
B. The consequences of deforestation are greater than what people can imagine.
C. People are not aware of the significance of the rainforests.
D. People's economic benefits are more important than environmental problems. ĐÁP ÁN 1. B 2. A 3. D 4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D 8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 12. C 13. C 14. C 15. B 16. A 17. D 18. A 19. D 20. B 21.
