II. Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the letter you choose A, B, C or D.
Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a
national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private
lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and
migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only
ones available for the development in the region.
With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land-use planning effort to guide the future of
the North Fork. The park is a partner in an interlocal agreement that calls for resource-managing agencies to work
together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with the objective
of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage parfc resources.


Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park anc the county, is helping to restrict small-lot
subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.
The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns
that Congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing
character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved
understanding of all concerns..
46. The passage mainly discusses..........
A. the endangered species in Glacier National Park
B. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National Park
C. conservation laws imposed by the state of Montana
D. conservation laws imposed by Congress
47. Why are the private lands surrounding Glacier National Park so important?
A. They function as a hunting preserve.
B. They are restricted to government use.
C. They are heavily populated.
D. They contain natural habitats of threatened species.

48. The relationship between park officials and neighboring landowners may best be described as........
A. indifferent
B. intimate
C. cooperative
D. disappointing
49. It can be inferred from the passage that a major interest of the officials of Glacier National Park is to........
A. limit land development around the park
B. establish a new park in Montana
C. influence national legislation
D. settle border disputes with Canada
50. In the first line of the third paragraph, the author implies that landowners might be responding to
environmental concerns for which of the following reasons?
