IV, Reading : Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers

The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing.
Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last
100 years, deserts have been growing at a "frightening" speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the
greatest desert makers are humans.
In developing countries, 90 percent of the people use wood for cooking and heating. They cut down trees
for firewood. But trees are important. They cool the land under them and keep the sun off the smaller plants.
When leaves fall from a tree, they make the land richer. When the trees are gone, the smaller plants die, and there
is nothing but sand. Yet people must use firewood, raise animals, and grow crops in order to live.
Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth.
Algeria planted a green wall of trees across the edge. of the Sahara to' stop the desert sand from spreading.
Mauritania planted a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum on sandy
areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small ir the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and
goats away. Other countries build long canals to bring water to desert areas.
Yet land that will probably become desert in the future equals the size of Australia, the United States, and
the former Soviet Union together. Can people stop the growth of the world's deserts and save the land that is so
essential to life?

A. they won't eat the small trees

23. When all the trees in an area are cut down, .
A. their leaves make the land richer
B. the smaller plants can grow better
C. they cool the land under their leaves
D. there is nothing left but sand
24. The word "frightening" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______________________________.

IV, Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the
question) about each passage.
In 1782, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the United States because it is a bird of strength
and courage, and was found all over North America and only in North America.
But a little· over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country. In 1972, there
were only 3,000 bald eagles in the entire United States. The reason for the bird's decreasing population was

pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects and other
animals that attack and destroy crops. Unfortunately, rain often washes pesticides into rivers. Pesticides pollute
the rivers and poison the fish. Eagles eat these fish and the poison affects their eggs. The eggs have very thin
shells and do not hatch. Eagles only lay only two or three eggs a year. Because many of the eggs did not hatch
and produce more eagles, the number of eagles quickly became smaller.
Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald eagle. The
number of bald eagles is increasing. It now appears that the American national bird will survive and remain a
symbol of strength and courage.
21. The bald eagle was in danger of extinction mainly because____________________________________.

A. one or two eggs every six months
B. one or two eggs a year
C. two or three eggs every six months
D. two or three eggs per year
23. The number of bald eagles is now .

C. becoming smaller D. in great danger of extinction
