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 40.
Species that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have been part of a given
biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of
other native species in the same general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced
intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one context an introduced species may
cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the
same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade
of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put
native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for
food resources. Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most
destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other
nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species
during the past 500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to the utilization of a
species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction. Among many examples of
severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief. By the middle of the 20th
century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes. In response
to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on

whaling. As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years
ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific. Others remain at great risk.
Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts.
Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there. is a strong market for
traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn.

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 40 to 50.
The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet
access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million
articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, however,
Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their names are not
published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge.
The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education”. Real popularity for
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information
could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia
that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like
Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in
Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would
provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information would be available free,
unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the
articles, and so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time
to finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have
access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do this, he used
what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter
content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for
information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an article that interests you –
about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it. This process goes on until no one is
interested in making any more changes.
