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 14 to 18.
The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered
because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory,

which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory
since 1989 anywhere.
“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the
illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told the
Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that
chance.”
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between
1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain
reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia
think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our job is

one strategy.”

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 46 to 50.
The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered
because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory,
which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory
since 1989 anywhere.
“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the
illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told the
Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that
chance.”
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between
1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain
reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia
think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our job is
education,” said Professor Dillon. “The other part is law enforcement. So we have more than
one strategy.”
Question 46: Hunters poach tigers for their ________.
A. jewelry B. ivory C. pelts D. carving Question 47: According to the passage,
which of the following sentences is NOT true?
A. It is legal to sell ivory everywhere.
B. Elephant ivory is used to made jewelry.
C. Elephants are hunted for their ivory.
D. There are about 4,000 elephants killed each year.
Question 48: The word it in paragraph 3 refers to ________.

D. an elephant
Question 49: The Chinese use parts of the tiger as ________.

D. medicine
Question 50: According to Professor Dillon, ________ to solve the problem.
A. it is education that can help
B. nothing necessary can be done
C. law enforcement, not education, can help
D. we need both education and law enforcement
THE END.

WOMEN
In developing countries, where three fourths of the world’s population live, sixty percent of
the people who can’t read and write are women. Being illiterate doesn’t mean they are not
intelligent. It does mean it is difficult for them to change their lives. They produce more than half
of the food. In Africa eighty percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many
programs to help poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs
provided money and training for men.
In parts of Africa, this is a typical day for a village woman. At 4:45 a.m., she gets up,
washes and eats. It takes her a half hour to walk to the fields, and she works there until 3.00 p.m.
She collects firewood and gets home at 4:00. She spends the next hour and a haft preparing food
to cook. Then she collects water for another hour. From 6:30 to 8:30 she cooks. After dinner, she
spends an hour washing the dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9:30 p.m.
International organizations and programs run by developed nations are starting to help
women, as well as men, improve their agricultural production. Governments have already passed
some laws affecting women because of the UNO Decade for Women. The UNO report will affect
the changes now happening in the family and society.
Question 6: By whom (what) was the Decade for Women organized?

B. Because most women are not intelligent.
C. Because 80 percent of all agricultural work is done by women.
