E. READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)

Passage 1. Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the
question.

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 animals 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.

44. The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast:

A. Specific and general information B. A statement and an illustration
C. A comparison and a contrast D. A problem and a solution
45. What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?

A. Interest in material gain B. Bengal tiger

C. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population D. Killing animals for personal satisfaction
46. Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?

A. Lines 4-6 B. Lines 1-3 C. Lines 7-9 D. Lines 10-16
47. Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST

</div>
(6)<div class='page_container' data-page=6>

Watson and the people who worked on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near
Portugal. However, they had a strange prey, instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra.
The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The
Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Watson and his workers thought that they had
been successful. The Sierra had been a whaling ship which had operated illegally. The captain and crew of the
Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as
they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten.
Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did
very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he
could. He offered to pay $ 25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because
he believes that whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of his government; therefore, his
actions were controversial .

Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the
Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they become

impatient. Yet, because of their concern for environment, they will act to protect it.

C. people have different ideas about it D. people protect it
53. The members of a ship’s crew are the people ___________ .

A. who work on the ship B. who work on airplanes
C. on a ship, including the passengers D. who own the ship
54. The main idea of the first paragraph is ___________ .

A. Watson is a hero to some people B. Paul Watson is a controversial activist
C. activists are people who do something D. Watson does not believe in talking
55. The Sea Shepherd was hunting ___________ .

A. the Atlantic Ocean B. whales C. the Sierra D. Portugal

A. the Sierra sold whale meat in some countries

B. the people on the Sierra did not obey international laws
C. the people on the Sierra killed as many whales as they could
D. whaling is illegal according to international laws

Achievement tests are designed to measure acquiring skills and
knowledge, particularly those that have been explicitness taught. The
proficiency exams required by few states for high school graduation
