Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become

jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they
will become extinct.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

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 animal
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.
76.What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger

B. International boycotts

C. Endangered species

D. Problems with industrialization

77. The word ‘poachers’ used in line 6 could be best replaced by which of the followings?
A. Illegal hunters

B. Enterprising researchers.

C. Concerned scientists

D. Trained hunters

78. What is an act of cruelty according to the passage?
A. Having interest in material gain.
B. Hunting endangered animals.
C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction.
D. Causing the problem of extinction.
79. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to protect animals from
extinction?
A. Introduce laws to prohibit the killing of endangered animals.
B. Establish wildlife reserves.
C. Refuse to buy animal products.
D. Raise money to invest in equipment and patrol.

80. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude?
