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
36 to 42.
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 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 solution that is an attempt
to stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott of products
made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but it will not, by itself,
prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Endangered species
B. Problems with industrialization
C. The Bengal tiger
D. International boycotts
Question 37: The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the
following?
A. incompetence
B. indirectness
C. insensitivity
D.
independence
Question 38: The passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast
_______.
A. a comparison and a contrast

B. a problem and a solution
C. a statement and an illustration
D.specificand
general

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.
RACES AND THEIR GENETIC DIFFERENCES
Genetics is the study of hereditary characteristics that are passed down from one
generation of living organisms to another. Although farmers have used selective
breeding to improve the resilience of crops and animals, it wasn't until the mid1800s that Gregor Mendel started the science of genetics as we know it today.
Following Mendel's methods, scientists have discovered "chromosomes" and
"DNA". With the ability to study DNA, scientists were able to study the genetic
differences between races.
Modern genetics discovered that all humans are descendants of "Mitochondrial
Eve," a woman who lived over 150,000 years ago in Africa. Since the first humans
were born, over 75,000 generations have passed, and many subtle differences
are now evident. Humans share at least 99% of their genetic makeup. A 1%
difference may not seem like much, but when you consider that a chimpanzee
shares 98% of human genes, you realize how much a 1% difference makes!
Africans are more closely related to Europeans than any other two groups, despite
the fact that they differ so much in appearance. The biggest genetic differences
are found between Africans and the native populations of North America (22%).
However, it is essential to note that the genetic differences between people of the
same race are much greater than the differences between people of different
races. This means that the argument which claims that genetic differences make
one race superior to another is nothing but a tall story.
The differences in various populations may also be the result of circumstances
rather than genetic makeup. Factors such as climate, diet, health care, education,
and employment as well as other socioeconomic factors are all influential.
However, there are some traits which are genetic; for example, there is a much
higher incidence of sickle- cell anemia among black populations than any other

population group. Adult African-Americans and Latinos have twice as many cases
of diabetes than Caucasians. In the U.S., Latinos suffer more deaths from liver
disease than other races. Europeans suffer more from heart disease and cancer.
Genes not only affect our susceptibility to disease, they also affect our physical
attributes. The Dinka people from the Sudan are considered to be the tallest
people with men having an average height of 6ft 3in., while women hit the big

time with an impressive 5ft 3in. This contrasts sharply with the Pygmy tribes who
get the short end of the stick at only about 4ft 11in tall.
Genetic differences may help us to tailor health services to people of different
races or to detect life threatening diseases early. However, they are not
significant enough to support the claim that one race is superior to another. In
fact, our modern scientific understanding of human genetic diversity flies in the
face of almost all our social stereotypes.
