Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost
entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such
as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International
laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an
effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals.
Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from


endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and
killed.
Question 44. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger
B. Endangered species
C. International boycotts
D. Problems with industrialization
Question 45. What does the term “international boycott” refer to?

A. A refusal to buy animal products worldwide.
B. Buying and selling of animal products overseas.
C. Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks.
D. A global increase in animal survival.
Question 46. Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?
A. set aside
B. organized
C. combined
D. taken
Question 47. What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A. Interest in material gain.
B. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population.
C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction .
D. Bengal tiger.
Question 48. The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. insensitivity
B. incompetence
C. independence
D. indirectness
Question 49. The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast_______ .
A. A comparison and a contrast
B. A problem and a solution
C. Specific and general information
D. A statement and an illustration
Question 50. The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. Trained hunters
B. Concerned scientists
C. Illegal hunters
D. Enterprising researchers

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 42 to 48.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost
entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such

as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International
laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an
effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals.
Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from


endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and
killed.
Question 42. What is the main topic of the passage?

May 7, 1840 , was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century : Peter

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost
entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal
gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such
as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International
laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an
effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals.
Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from


endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and
killed.
Question 44. What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A. Bengal tiger.
B. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population.
C. Interest in material gain.
D. Killing animals for personal satisfaction .

A. organized
B. taken
C. combined
D. set aside
Question 46. What does the term “international boycott” refer to?
A. A global increase in animal survival.
B. A refusal to buy animal products worldwide.

C. Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks.
D. Buying and selling of animal products overseas.
Question 47. The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast_______ .
A. A comparison and a contrast
B. Specific and general information
C. A statement and an illustration
