Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

1. Tourism has become one of the world's fastest-growing industries, with millions traveling annually to explore new destinations and cultures. However, the rapid expansion of mass tourism is increasingly under scrutiny due to its impact on local communities and the environment. As tourism grows, it raises concerns about sustainability and the long-term effects on the places and people being visited. Tourism has been identified as a significant driver of environmental degradation, cultural erosion, and social inequality in certain regions.

2. One of the key concerns associated with tourism is its environmental impact. As more travelers visit popular destinations, local ecosystems are strained. Deforestation, pollution, and wildlife disruption are some of the consequences of unmanaged tourism. For example, in the Galápagos Islands and Bali, tourism has led to the destruction of fragile ecosystems, overfishing, and coral reef damage. Air travel, in particular, contributes to carbon emissions, exacerbating global warming and disproportionately affecting vulnerable regions.

3. In addition to environmental issues, tourism often leads to cultural shifts in local communities. While tourism can bring economic benefits, it can also result in the commodification of local cultures. Indigenous traditions may be distorted or abandoned to cater to tourist demands. In some communities, sacred rituals are performed as spectacles for entertainment, undermining their authenticity and diminishing the cultural heritage in the eyes of locals .

4. In conclusion, the negative impacts of tourism on the environment and local cultures could be minimized if governments, businesses, and travelers adopt more sustainable practices. Eco-tourism promotes environmentally responsible travel, while "slow tourism" encourages deeper engagement with destinations and focuses on quality over quantity. By embracing these approaches, tourism can become a force for good, fostering both environmental preservation and cultural appreciation for future generations.

ĐỀ 1 - PHẦN 3 (END)

​

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

CHANGE IN BUSINESS ORGANISATIONS​

1. The forces driving change in organisations can be compared to winds-ranging from mild breezes to powerful gales. (I) During this time, wealth was created within an agriculturally based society influenced by local markets and factors like weather. People could predict life's cycles, which, although often at a subsistence level, were manageable and stable. (II)

2. Stronger winds of change arrived with the Industrial Revolution, marking the shift to the industrial age. This period, which lasted until around 1945, was characterised by technological innovations that reduced the need for agricultural labor and enabled the mass production of goods. (III) Organisations were structured along mechanistic lines - rigid hierarchies and strong controls-to manage predictable demand and supply. The goal was to produce more and meet the growing demand for manufactured goods.

3. As time passed, organisations faced new challenges. (IV) In the neo-industrial age, consumer preferences became more diverse, and supply began to outstrip demand Companies sought new markets abroad, and competition intensified. In the West, a transition occurred from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-oriented one, where organisations prioritized enhancing product value instead of merely boosting output levels. This period marked the beginning of what Goodman (1995) refers to as the "value-oriented" time.

4. Today, in the post-industrial age, change is accelerating. The pace of innovation and globalisation is increasing, making the future harder to predict. According to Nadler and Tushman (1999), we are witnessing a profound transformation in organisational strategies, structures, and scope. By 2020, predictions suggested that 25 - 30% of the workforce would be temporary, and many employees would work from home.

5. Though forecasting the future is uncertain, one thing is clear: Organisational change is inevitable and rapid. For instance, Mannermann (1998) sees future studies as part art and part science and notes: "The future is full of surprises, uncertainty, trends and trend breaks, irrationality and rationality, and it is changing and escaping from our hands as time goes by. It is also the result of actions made by innumerable more or less powerful forces." What seems certain is that the organisational world is changing at a fast rate - even if the direction of change is not always predictable. Consequently, it is crucial that organisational managers and decision makers have a good grasp of , and are able to analyse the factors which trigger organisational change.
