PASSAGE 1-‐ Questions 61-‐67

Southwell in Nottinghamshire is full of surprises. The first is Britain’s least-‐known ancient cathedral,
Southwell Minster, celebrated by writers of an environmental disposition for the pagan figures of
‘green’ men which medieval craftsmen carved into the decorations in its thirteenth-‐century chapter
house. The second, appropriately enough, is Britain’s greenest dwelling, the ‘autonomous house’,
designed and built by Robert and Brenda Vale.
The Vales use rainwater for washing and drinking, recycle their sewage into garden compost and heat
their house with waste heat from elctrical appliances and their own body heat, together with that of
their three teenage children and their two cats, Edison and Faraday. You could easily miss the
traditional-‐looking house, roofed with clay pantiles, on a verdant corner plot 300 yards rom the
Minister. It was designed to echo the burnt– orange brick of the town’s nineteenth-‐century buildings
and won approval from planners even though it is in a conservation area.
Ring the solar-‐powered doorbell and there is total silence. The house is super-‐insultated, with
krypton-‐ filled triple – glazed windows, which means that you do not hear a sound inside. Once inside
and with your shoes off (at Robert’s insistence), there is a monastic stillness. It is a sunny summer’s
day, the windows are closed and the conservatory is doing its normal job of warming the air before it
ventilates the house. Vale apologises and moves through the house, opening ingenious ventilation
shafts and windows. You need to create draughts because draught-‐proofing is everywhere: even
Edison and Faraday have their own air-‐locked miniature door.
The Vales, who teach architecture at Nottingham University, were serious about the environment
long before it hit the political agenda. They wrote a book on green architecture back in the 1970s, The
Autonomous House. They began by designing a building which emitted no carbon dioxide. Then
they got carried away and decided to do without mains water as well. They designed composting
earth closets, lowered rainwater tanks into the cellar, and specified copper gutters to protect the
drinking water, which they pass through two filters before use. Water from washing runs into the

2
garden (the Vales don’t have a dishwasher because they believe it is morally unacceptable to use
strong detergents). Most details have similar statement in mind.
‘We wanted people to see that it was possible to design a house which would be far less detrimental
to the environment, without having to live in the dark,’ says Robert. ‘It would not be medieval.’ The
house’s only medieval aspect is aesthetic: the hall, which includes the hearth and the staircase, rises
the full height of the building.
The Vales pay no water bills. And last winter the house used only nine units of electricity a day costing
about 70p – which is roughly what other four bedroomed houses use on top of heating. Soon it wil use
even less, when £20,000 worth of solar water heating panels and generating equipment arrive and are
erected in the garden. The house will draw electricity from the mains supply for cooking and running
the appliances, but will generate a surplus of electricity. There will even be enough, one day, to charge
an electric car. The only heaing is a small wood-‐burning stove in the hall, which the Vales claim not to
use except in the very coldest weather.
So is it warm in winter? One night in February when I happened to call on him, Robert was sitting
reading. It was too warm to light the fire, he said. The room temperature on the first floor was 18°C,
less than the generally expected temperature of living areas, but entirely comfortable, he claimed,
because there are no draughts, no radiant heat loss, since everything you touch is at the same
temperature. Perceived temperature depends on these factors. An Edwardian lady in the early years
of the twentieth century was entirely comfortable at 12.5°C, he says, because of the insulation
provided by her clothing. Those people who live in pre-‐1900 housing, he suggests, should simply go
back to living as people did then. Somehow, it is difficult to think of this idea catching on.
The house’s secret is that it is low-‐tech and there is little to go wrong. Almost everything was
obtained from a builder’s merchant and installed by local craftsmen. This made the house cheap to
build – it cost the same price per square metre as low-‐cost housing for rent. Not surprisingly, the
commercial building companies are determinedly resisting this idea.
61. According to the writer, the exterior of the Vales’ house is
A. unique B. unattractive C. controversial D. unremarkable
62. Why did Robert Vale apologise to the writer on his arrival?
A. The ventilation system had failed.
B. The temperature was uncomfortable.
C. The conservatory was not functioning properly.
D. The draughts were unwelcome.
63. What does the writer suggest about environmental issues in the fourth paragraph?
A. They have always been a difficult topic.
B. They have become a subject of political debate.
C. The Vales have changed their views in recent years.
D. The Vales have begun to take a political interest in the subject.
64. What does the writer imply about the decision not to use mains water in the Vales’ house?
A. It was impractical B. It was later regretted.
C. It was an extreme choice. D. It caused unexpected problems.
65. In Robert Vale’s opinion, his home challenges the idea that houses designed with the
environment in mind must be
A. draughty.B. primitive. C. small. D. ugly.
66. The planned changes to the house’s electrical system will mean that
A. the house will produce more electricity than it uses.

3
 B. the Vales will not useelectricity from the mains supply.
C. the house will use more electricity than it does now.
D. the Vales’ electricity bills will remain at their current level.

C. it was not a particular cold winter.
D. he had got used to the temperature.

PASSAGE 2-‐ Questions 68-‐73

Less than 40 years ago, tourism was encouraged as an unquestionable good. With the arrival of
package holidays and charter flights, tourism could at last be enjoyed by the masses. Yet one day, it
seems feasible that there will be no more tourists. There will be ‘adventurers’, ‘fieldwork assisstants’,
‘volunteers’ and, of course, ‘travellers’. But the term ‘tourist’ will be extinct. There might be those
who quietly slip away to foreign lands for nothing other than pure pleasure, but it will be a secretive
and frowned upon activity. No one will want to own up to beingone of those. In fact, there are already
a few countries prohibiting tourists from entering certain areas where the adverse effects of tourism
have already struck. Tourists have been charged withbringing nothing with them but their money and
wreaking havoc with the local environment.
It won’t be easy to wipe out this massive, ever growing tribe. Today there are more than 700 million
‘tourist arrivals’ each year. The World Tourism Organization forecasts that by 2020, there will be 1.56
billion tourists travelling at any one time. The challenge to forcibly curtail more than a billion tourists
from going where they want is immense. It is so immense as tobe futile. You cannot make so many
economically empowered people stop doing something they want to do unless you argue that it is of
extreme damage to the welfare of the world that only the truly malicious, utterly selfish and totally
irresponsible would ever even consider doing it. This is clearly absurd. Whatever benefits or
otherwise accrue from tourism, it is not, despite what a tiny minority say, evil. I can cause harm. It can
be morally neutral. And it can occasionally, be a force for great good.
So tourism is being attacked by more subtle methods, by being re-‐branded in the hope we won’t
recognise it as the unattractive entity it once was. The word ‘tourist’ is being removed from anything
that was once called a holiday in the pamphlet that was once called a holiday brochure. Adventurers,
fieldwork assisstants and volunteers don’t go on holidays. ‘Un-‐tourists’ (as I will call them) go on
things called ‘cultural experiences’, ‘expeditions’, ‘projects’ and most tellingly, ‘missions’. The word
‘mission’ is perhaps unintentionally, fitting. While this re-‐branding is supposed to present a
progressive approach to travel, it is firmly rooted in the viewpoint of the Victorian era. Like
nineteenth-‐century Victorian travellers, the modern day un-‐tourists insists that the main motive
behind their adventure is to help others. Whereass the mass tourist and the area they visit are
condemned as anti-‐ethical and at loggerheads, the ethos of the un-‐tourist and the needs of the area
they wander into are presumed to be in tune with each other.
The re-‐packaging of tourism as meaningful, self-‐sacrificing travel is liberating. It allows you to go to
all sorts of places that would be ethically out of bounds to a regular tourist under the guise of mission.
Indeed, the theory behind un-‐tourism relies upon exclusivity; it is all about preventing other people
travelling in order that you might legitimise your own travels. Mass tourists are, by definition,
excluded from parttaking of this new kind of un-‐tourism. Pretending you are not doing something
that you actually are – i.e. going on holiday – is at the heart of the un-‐tourist endeavour. Every aspect
of the experience has to be disguised. So, gone are the glossy brochures. Instead the expeditions,
projects and adventures are advertised in publications more likely to resemblemagazines with a
concern in ecological or cultural issues. The price is usually well hidde as if there is a reluctance to
admit that this is, in essence, a commercial transaction. There is something disturbing in having to pay
to do good.

4
Meaningful contact with and respect for local culture also concerns the un-‐tourist. In the third world,
respect for the local culture is based on a presumed innate inability within that culture to understand
that there are other ways of living to their own. They are portrayed, in effect, as being perplexed by
our newness, and their culture is presented as so vulnerable that a handful of western tourists poses a
huge threat. This is despite the fact that many of these cultures are more rooted, ancient and have
survived far longer than any culture in the first world. None of this ought to matter as un-‐tourism
makes up less than 4% of the total tourism industry. But un-‐tourists have been so successfully re-‐
branded that they have come to define what it means to be a good tourist.
All tourism should be responsible towards and respectful of environmental and human resources.
Some tourist developments, as well as, inevitably, individual tourists, have not been so and should be
challenged. But instead, a divide is being driven between those few privileged, high-‐paying tourists
and the masses. There is no difference between them – they are just being packaged as something
different. Our concern should not be with this small number but with the majority of travellers. But
why should we bother? We who concern ourselves with this debate are potentially or probably un- ‐
tourists. We aren’t interested in saving leisure time abroad for the majority of people: we’re
interested in making ourselves feel good. That’s why we’ve succumbed to the re-‐branding of our
enjoyment, and refuse to take up a term we believe to be tainted. How many times haveyou owned up
to being a tourist?

68 The writer suggests that in the future,

A there will be a limited choice of destinations available to tourists.
B tourists will be required to pay more for any holidays they take.
C holidays will not exist in the same form as we know them now.
D people going on holiday to relax will feel obliged to feel ashamed.
69 What does the writer say about stopping tourism?
A The expansion of the tourism industry will continue.
B Countries economically dependent on tourism would suffer from any restrictions.
C The industry will not be able to cope once tourist numbers reach a certain limit.
D Tourists must be persuaded that having a holiday is ethically wrong.
70 According to the writer, the aim of re-‐branding tourism is to
A ensure the skills of travellers match the needs of the area they go to.
B deceive travellers about the purpose of their trip to foreign countries.
C make travellers aware of the harmful effects of trational tourism.
D offers types of holidays that bring benefits to poor communities.
71 In paragraph four, the writer suggests that ‘un-‐tourists’ are
A more concerned with the environmental issues than othertourists.
B unwilling to pay for the experience of helping people.
C able to take holiday without a sense of guilt.
D pressing for the introduction of laws to ban mass tourism.
72 The writer states that third world cultures
A are unlikely to be disturbed by the presence of foreigners.
B cannot always comprehend other cultural traditions.
C risk losing their identity by exposure to tourism.

5
 D can only be encountered through careful integration.

B the increasing construction of environmentally friendly tourist resorts.
C certain people being hypocritical about their reasons for travelling.
D the possibilty of charging different prices for identical holidays.

PASSAGE 3-‐ Questions 74-‐80

One minute into the annual inspection and things are already going wrong for the Globe Hotel. Not
that they know it yet. The receptionist reciting room rates over the pone to a potential guest is still
blissfully unaware of the identity of the real guest she is doggedly ignoring. ‘Hasn’t even acknowledged
us,’ Sue Brown says out of the corner of her mouth. ‘Very poor.’ It is a classic arrival-‐ phrase error, and
one that Sue has encountered scores of times in her 11 years as an inspector. ‘But this isn’t an ordinary
three-‐star place,’ she protests. ‘It has threered stars, and I would expect better.’

To be the possessor of red stars means that the Globe is rated among the top 130 of the 4,000 listed in
the hotel guide published by the organisation she works for. However, even before our frosty welcome,
a chill has entered the air. Access from the car park has been via an unmanned door, operated by an
impersonal buzzer, followed by a long, twisting, deserted corridor leading to the hotel entrance. ‘Again,
not what I had expected,’ says Sue.

Could things get worse? They could. ‘We seem to have no record of your booking,’ announces the
receptionist, in her best sing-‐song how-‐may-‐I-‐help-‐you voice.

It turns out that a dozen of the hotel’s 15 rooms are unoccupied thatnight. One is on the top floor. It is
not to the inspector’s taste: suffiness is one criticism, the other is a gaping panel at the back of the
wardrobe, behind which is a large hole in the wall.

When she began her inspecting career, she earned an early reputation for toughness. ‘The Woman in
Black, I was known as,’ she recalls, ‘which was funny, because I never used to wear black. And I’ve
never been too tough.’ Not that you would know it the next morning when, after paying her bill, she
suddenly reveaals her identity to the Globe’s general manager, Robin Greaves. From the look on his
face, her arrival has caused terror.

Even before she says anything else, he expresses abject apologies for the unpleasant smell in the main
lounge. ‘We think there’s a blockeddrain there,’ he sighs. ‘The whole floor will probably have to come
up.’ Sue gently suggests that as well as sorting out the plumbing, he might also prevail upon his staff
not to usher guests into the room so readily. ‘Best, perhaps, to steer them to theother lounge,’ she says.
Greaves nods with glum enthusiasm and gamely takes notes. He has been at the Globe for onlu five
months, and you can see him struggling to believe Sue when she says that this dissection of the hotel
can only be for the good of theplace in the long run.

Not that it’s all on the negative side. Singled out for commendation are Emma, the assistant manager,
and Trudy, the young waitress, who dished out a sheaf of notes about the building’s 400-‐year history.
Dinner, too, has done enough to maintain the hotel’s two-‐rosette food rating, thereby encouraging
Greaves to push his luck a bit. ‘So what do we have to do to get three rosettes?’ he enquires. Sue’s
suggestions include: ‘Not serve a pudding that collapses.’ The brief flicker of light in Greaves’ eyes goes
out.

It is Sue Brown’s uneviable job to voice the complaints the rest of us more cowardly consumers do not
have the courage to articulate. ‘Sometimes one can be treading on very delicate ground. I remember,
in one case, a woman rang to complain I’d got her son the sack. All I could say was the truth, which
was that he’d served me apple pie with his fingers.’ Comeback letters involve spurious

6
allegations of everything, from a superior attitude to demanding bribes. ‘You come to expect itafter a
while, but it hurts everytime,’ she says.

Sue is required not just to relate her findings to the hotelier verbally, but also to send them a full
written report. They are, after all, paying for the privilege of her putting them straight. (There isan
annual fee for inclusion in the guide.) Nevertheless, being singled out for red-‐star treatment makes it
more than worthwhile. So it is reassuring for Greaves to hear that Sue is not going to recommend that
the Globe be stripped of its red stars. That isthe good news. The bad is that another inspector will be
back in the course of the next two months to make sure that everything has been put right. ‘Good,’
smiles Greaves unconvincingly. ‘We’ll look forward to that.’
