Section 3
Read the text below. For questions 21 to 25, choose the best answer (a, b, c or d).
‘Heavier than air flying machines are impossible,’ said the well-known scientist Lord
Kelvin in 1895. Thomas Watson, the chairman of IBM in 1943, was wrong too when he
said that he thought there would be a world market for only five or so computers.
Predictions can, of course, be wrong, and it is very difficult to predict what the world will
be like in 100, 50, or even 20 years from now. But this is something that scientists and
politicians often do. They do so because they invent things and make decisions that shape
the future of the world that we live in.
In the past they didn’t have to think too much about the impact that their decisions had on
the natural world. But that is now changing. An increasing number of people believe that
we should live within the rules set by nature. In other words, they think that in a world of
fixed and limited resources, what is used today will not be there for our children. We
must therefore look at each human activity and try to change it or create alternatives if it
is not sustainable. The rules for this are set by nature, not by man.

Many hotel chains and tour operators say that they take their environmental commitments
seriously, but often they do not respect their social and economic responsibilities to the
local community. So is it possible for travellers to help improve the lives of locals and
still have a good holiday?
The charity, Tourism Concern, thinks so. It has pioneered the concept of the fair-trade
holiday. The philosophy behind fair-trade travel is to make sure that local people get a
fair share of the income from tourism. The objectives are simple: employing local people
wherever possible; offering fair wages and treatment; showing cultural respect; involving
communities in deciding how tourism is developed; and making sure that visitors have
minimal environmental impact.
Although there is currently no official fair-trade accreditation for holidays, the
Association of Independent Tour Operators has worked hard to produce responsible
tourism guidelines for its members. Some new companies, operated as much by
principles as profits, offer a fantastic range of holidays for responsible and adventurous
travellers.

Section 11
Read the text below. For questions 87 to 92, choose the best answer (a, b, c or d).
Standards of spelling and grammar among an entire generation of English-speaking
university students are now so poor that there is ‘a degree of crisis’ in their written use of
the language, the publisher of a new dictionary has warned. Its research revealed that
students have only a limited grasp of the most basic rules of spelling, punctuation and
meaning, blamed in part on an increasing dependence on ‘automatic tools’ such as
computer spellcheckers and unprecedented access to rapid communication using e-mail
and the Internet. The problem is not confined to the US, but applies also to students in
Australia, Canada and Britain.
Students were regularly found to be producing incomplete or rambling, poorly connected
sentences, mixing metaphors ‘with gusto’ and overusing dull, devalued words such as
‘interesting’ and ‘good’. Overall they were unclear about appropriate punctuation,
especially the use of commas, and failed to understand the basic rules of subject/verb
agreement and the difference between ‘there’, ‘their’ and ‘they’re’.
Kathy Rooney, editor-in-chief of the dictionary, said, ‘We need to be very concerned at
the extent of the problems with basic spelling and usage that our research has revealed.
This has significant implications for the future, especially for young people. We thought
it would be useful to get in touch with teachers and academics to find out what problems
their students were having with their writing and what extra help they might need from a
dictionary. The results were quite shocking. We are sure that the use of computers has
played a part. People rely increasingly on automatic tools such as spellcheckers that are
much more passive than going to a dictionary and looking something up. That can lull
them into a false sense of security.’
Beth Marshall, an English professor, said, ‘The type of student we’re getting now is very
different from what we were seeing 10 years ago and it is often worrying to find out how
little students know. There are as many as 800 commonly misspelled words, particularly
pairs of words that are pronounced similarly but spelled differently and that have
different meanings – for example, “faze” and “phase”, and “pray” and “prey”.’
