Read the text carefully then choose the correct answers.
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 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.
16. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger
B. International boycotts
C. Endangered species
D. Problems with industrialization
17. The word 'poachers' used in line 5 could be best replaced by which of the followings?
A. Illegal hunters
B. Enterprising researchers.
C. Concerned scientists
D. Trained hunters


18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Which of the following best describes the author's attitude?
A. Forgiving
B. Surprised
C. Vindictive
B. Concerned

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them. For example, there are
about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the sharks are carnivores, but most of
them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest shark is about 6 inches long - about as
long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest species of sharks may be 60 feet long and
weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a
kind of tough white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds
and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrates. Sharks can feel these
vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see
best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the middle of the night.
Nowadays scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons, For example, cancer is
common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find out why
sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too.
