IV. The passage below contains 10 errors. Underline the errors and correct them. Write
your answer in the space provided on the right. Number 0 has been done as an example.
The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as ever before. Countries all across the world
are active promoting their 'wilderness' regions - such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small
islands and wetlands - to highly spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by
defining, wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment. But that does not mean that
there is no cost. Like the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development recognized,
these regions are fragile (i. e. highly vulnerable of abnormal pressures) not just in terms of the
culture of their inhabitation. The three most significant types of fragile environment in these
.respects are deserts, mountairis and Arctic areas. An important character is their marked
seasonality. Consequently, most human acts, including tourism, are limited to clearly defined
parts of the year.
Tourists are drawn to these regions by their natural beauty and the unique. culture of its people.
And poor governments in these areas have welcomed the 'adventure tourists', grateful for the
currency they bring. For several years, tourism is the prime source of foreign exchange in Nepal
and Bhutan. Tourism is also a key element in the economics of Arctic zones such as Lapland and
Alaska and in desert areas such as Ayres Rocks in Australia and Arizona's Monument Valley.

HOLIDA Y NIGHTMARE
For me, holidaying alone in sun -drenched Majorca, it was a kind of nightmare. Temperatures
were zooming in Palma that July when I stepped out onto my balcony at the Pallas Atanea hotel.
I closed the balcony door behind me and after 10 minutes was so hot that it was time to retreat to
my air- conditioned room.
(1)……………………I……………………………….
Nobody was about, all the other balconies on that side of the hotel were empty. No sounds came
from any of the rooms. My room was at the building, far away from the main entrance. And it
was siesta time.
(2 ) ………………………………………………….
I thought of dropping something over the balcony to the street below. An ashtray perhaps, or, if
things got really desperate, a chair. But what if I hit a passer - by? Would my holiday insurance
cover it?
(3) ……………………………………………………
I kept shouting for help, waving my arms and leaning is as far over the balcony as seemed safe. I
told myself chambermaid would find me next morning.
(4)……………………………………………………
Hours seemed to pass and the balcony was like an oven. But eventually my cries reached a girl
on the footpath far below. She stopped and stared at this strange woman with arms waving.
(5) ……………………………………………….
So J used my fingers to count it out. It worked. The second girl nodded and disappeared round
the block to the front of the hotel. A few minutes latter a porter came to free me.
(6) ………………………………………………
My hopes rose briefly again when few minutes later she walked slowly back the same way. J
shouted louder, but once more she passed by.
The hotel manager was smoothly sympathetic and apologetic but he could not see how it had
occurred. All balcony doors had been adjusted to prevent just such a thing happening, he
claimed. He later sent a basket of fruit to my room.
(7 ) ……………………………………………
As for me, I swore I would never again close door of a hotel balcony behind me. Particularly
when it's 35° centigrade and rising.
(8) ……………………………………………
A.The tour operator's rep promised to warn other visitors of the danger but J felt this would not
be her top priority. Foreign tourists in Spain, I gained the impression, are capable of much sillier
things than getting stuck outside their rooms.
B. Or had I left the 'Do not disturb' notice outside my door? What happens in a big hotel if a
guest goes missing? How long does a 'Do not disturb' sign hang there ... a day, a week perhaps?
Would the room's next occupant arrive find my fried remains?
C.Meanwhile the balcony was becoming hotter and hotter, and I felt trapped and helpless. I was
desperate I began to call for help, but there was no one to hear me.
D: Then, what seemed like an age later, she retuned with another girl and I was able to signal
that I was locked out of my room, but as I do not speak Spanish I could not tell them my room
number.
E. I couldn't ring the tour operator to find out, even though they had promised to be ori the other
end of the telephone. [ couldn't ring anyone - the phone was on the other side of the double
glazing.
F. Fortunately, she understood English and shouted back that she was going to get help. Then
she went quickly round the comer in the direction of the hotel reception.
G. He thought it was rather funny and assured me that it had happened before. I never did get to
thank the two girls who noticed my plight.
H. She must have thought I was slightly mad, or a victim of sunstroke. She shrugged her
shoulders and walked on. I was almost in tears.
I. But I couldn't. The door had locked by itself. A latch on the room side of the door had dropped
down. It was a few minutes before I realized I was trapped.
IX. Read the passage and the questions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer -
A, B, C, or D - that you think fits best.
When the first white men came to America, they found vast amounts of natural resources of
tremendous value. Forests covered a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were
found in unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests,
prairies, streams, and rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were those resources that it seemed
that they could never be used up. So forests were
destroyed to make way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plowed and harrowed.
Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost every
river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were
slaughtered for food and sports. Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused
millions of dollars' worth of damage yearly. The very fertile soil washed away or blew up in
great clouds. The seemingly inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers
were filled with silt from eroding farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made
unfit for fish. Several species of birds disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of
going. Future timber shortages were predicted. In short, Americans soon came to realize that
some sort of conservation program must be set up, if future, as well as present, Americans were
to share in the resources that are the heritage of every American.
