It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great horned owl begins early in the year. In
January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant
hoot. The female is larger than the male. She sometimes reaches a 5 body length of twenty-two to
twenty-four inches, with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange
courtship dance. He bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air. He
flutters from limb to limb and makes flying sorties into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering
of food. They share the repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though
keeping time to the beat of an inner drum.

Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to occupy
the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark and
lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest 20 on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground.
The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest and

spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold.
It is five weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young
birds feather out, they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They
clamor for food and keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles.
Later in the season baby crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey
to the hungry family. It is nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own
food. The parent birds weary of family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish
hunting ranges of their own.

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best option A, B, C, D from 46 to 55
Swans are among the most beautiful of North American waterfowl and have always enjoyed the
admiration and even the protection of bird lovers. Of the six species in the swan genus, only two are
native to North America. The trumpeter swan, the largest of the group, breeds in the northern United
States and Alaska, and was nearly wiped out during the nineteenth century craze for elaborately
feathered hats. The whistling swan, which winters in large flocks on the Chesapeake Bay, has
recently been renamed the tundra swan because it breeds and summers on the northernmost tundra
regions of the continent.
Recently, populations of mute swans - an exotic species introduced to North America from Europe
in the early 1900s - have begun increasing by an alarming 30 to 40 percent annually in some states.
Most wildlife biologists today believe the majestic white creatures, with their tendency to destroy a
pond's plant life and drive away native waterfowl, might create havoc on the scale of the gypsy moth,
starling, or English sparrow.
Both native species of swans are wild and require large areas of uninhabited summer ground for
nesting and feeding. Mutes, however, semi-domesticated and accustomed to people, can nest in pairs
of as many as three or four on one small coastal pond, which can burden delicate and
environmentally essential brackish ponds.

A. forewarn an environmental problem B. prevent extinction of a swan species
C. describe swans of North America D. interest people in wildlife biology

______
A. not native to North America B. semi-domesticated

C. in close contact with people D. in the southern part of the United States
Question 50: The passage comments on all features of swans EXCEPT ________ .
A. habitats

Question 51: Which swan was close to extinction?
