VIII. Read the following passage carefully, and then choose the best answer.
We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5
to 10 of these people die. But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many
sharks do people kill? Well, I think you already know this: People kill many more
sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill
sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have
contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that
people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and
Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China,
people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark,
fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.
So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are
getting worried that the number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many
biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect
them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed
some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws

that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even
though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them.
1.How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. thousandsB. manyC. five to tenD. one hundred
2.People want to kill sharks because________
A. they are afraid of sharks.

3.The number of sharks in the world is ________
A. not getting worried by some biologists.
B. being killed.
C. getting bigger.
D getting smaller.
4.Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A. Because they want to learn more about sharks.
B. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.
C. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
B. Laws have been passed in sharks' defence.
C. People like to hunt sharks.
D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.
IX. Read the passage and choose the correct choice.
All over the world people listen to classical music. Classical music is cult to
describe. It means different things to different people.
Some famous classical composers were Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart. In

their music, they did not tell a story or show strong emotion. They wanted to make
a beautiful, interesting design. They wanted to write lovely sounds.
Then composers started to interpret ideas. They told stories about wars, armies
and soldiers. They wrote about religion. Sometimes they composed music for
holidays. They told love stories and showed strong emotion. Some of these
composers were Beethoven, Schumann Chopin, Mendelssohn, Wagner, and
Tchaikovsky.
Classical music stays with people a long time. Bach wrote about 300 years ago,
Beethoven wrote about 200 years ago, and Tchaikovsky wrote over 100 years ago.

their eyes, they can see the design. They can listen to the same classical music
many times and enjoy it.
