controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think
that he is a criminal.
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson
and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However,
they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd
found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd,
on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been
successful.

The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did
not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they
could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten.
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Siena. However, the
commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships
in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he
sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the
approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial.
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the
Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have
become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it.

Question 36. According to the reading, an environmental activist is someone who
___________.
A. runs into a whaling ship
B. does something to protect the Earth
C. talks about protecting endangered species
D. is a hero, like Paul Watson
Question 37. When something is controversial, _________
A. everyone agrees with it

B. everyone disagrees with it

C. people have different ideas about it

D. people protect it

Question 38. The members of a ship's crew are ________.
A. the men and women who work on the ship
B. the people who work on the airplane

C. all of the people on a ship, including the passengers
D. the people who own the ship

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 43 to 50
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural
environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the oldest
subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to
obtain until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years
ago.
Because hunter- gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have
dwindled, and they have been forced to live in environments such as deserts, forests or arctic wasteland. In
higher latitudes, shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have
caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing. The abundance
of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for
gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and
possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gathers may help us
understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from observation of modern hunter- gathers in both Africa
and Alaska that society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community
camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp.
When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice a

seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restricted division of labor
