indefinitely on the Earth centuries ago, species went extinct from natural causes, for example, they were unable to adapt to bad weather and other difficult conditions However, animals are now dying out faster than ever because of human activities It is estimated that, until the 18th century, one species disappeared from the Earth every four years By the 19th century, this had increased to one species per year By 1975, was 1,000 species per year, and today animals are disappearing at the alarming rate of more than 40,000 species per year There are many factors that can cause an animal or plant species to become endangered, and one big one is the destruction of their habitats Deforestation and soil, air, and water pollution are usually the main culprits For example, the population of critically Sumatran orangutans is now less than 10,000 on their home island of Sumatra, Indonesia, due to deforestation and farming Another cause of endangerment is from humans exploiting wild animals Uncontrolled hunting of whales in the last century, for example, resulted in many whale species becoming critically endangered The high demands for animal parts stems from their use in foods or medicines or their values as decorative objects For example, the ivory tusks of elephants are used to make jewelry, and the price is high enough that people risk being arrested and jailed to go after these animals Introducing a non-native species to an environment by humans, either intentionally or by accident can also cause species endangerment In Florida, large pet snakes such as the anaconda and the python have been released into the large Everglades swamp The snakes have thrived in their new environment, and now compete with and may soon overwhelm the swamp's alligators Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Unity Conservation of Nature (IUCN) try to raise awareness of threatened animals and plants These organizations collaborate with government agencies to save threatened or endangered species and to make new laws that will protect them But to really protect plant and animal species now and in the future, the public needs to be educated on the value of keeping these species alive 36 According to the passage, what happened between the 18 century and now? A The amount of human activity increased B Animals were less able to adapt to the weather C More animals started dying from natural causes D The weather conditions became more disadvantageous to animals 37 Why have many whale species become endangered? A Their habitat is being destroyed B The high demand for decorative objects and jewelry C They have been hunted in great numbers D A non-native species has been introduced to their environment 38 Which is NOT mentioned as a cause of species endangerment? A introduction of non-native species B spread of diseases C unrestricted hunting D habitat destruction 39 Which animal is native to the Everglades swamp? A anacondas B pythons C large snakes D alligators 40 What is the main idea of the final paragraph? A Governments and organizations must work together to be effective B The most important thing is to raise awareness and educate people C Laws are needed to protect these endangered species D The public should know the value of animal parts in foods, medicines, and decoration B WORDLIST WORD TRANSCRIPTION COLLOCATIONS MEANING 10 11 12 13 evolution habitat extinct vulnerable environmental Conservation Endangered Essential (in)adequate Reduce Lessen verge brink / ˌevəˈluːʃn/ / ˈhæbɪtæt/ / ɪkˈstɪŋkt / / ˈvʌlnərəbl / / ɪn vaɪrən mentl / / ˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn / / ɪnˈdeɪndʒə(r) d/ / ɪˈsenʃl / / ˈædɪkwət / / rɪˈdjuːs / / ˈlesn / / vɜːdʒ / / brɪŋk / gradual development of sth place for animal and plant no longer in existance easily hurt physically & emotionally connected with the environment the protection of the environment it may soon no longer exist necessary Sufficient / səˈfɪʃnt/ = enough Make sth less reduce near to the moment when… in a new, dangerous situation 14 Wildlife / ˈwaɪldlaɪf / Theory of ~ Wildlife/ natural ~ Become ~ ~ to the flu ~ issues/ groups ~ groups/ organisations ~ species for sth/ to sth for sth/ to sth ~ the number of + Npl risk/ impact/ effect of sth On/to the ~ of sth/ doing sth On the ~ of collapse/ war/ death/ disaster ~ habitat/ sanctuary 15 Wilderness / ˈwɪldənəs / ~ area 16 reserves / rɪˈzɜːv / Set up nature ~ a large area of land that has never been developed or used for growing crops Protected land animals and plants live in natural environment 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 fear Frighten Dangerous Survive Evolve Blend Notice Realize Match suit Strategy Tough (un)demanding Die out thrive culprit / fɪə(r) / / ˈfraɪtn / / ˈdeɪndʒərəs / / səˈvaɪv / / iˈvɑːlv / / blend/ / ˈnəʊtɪs / / ˈriːəlaɪz / / mætʃ / / suːt / & / sjuːt / / ˈstrætədʒi / / tʌf / / dɪˈmɑːndɪŋ / ~ sb/ sth;

By 2030, it's estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide Companies are already starting to integrate them into the workforce The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that’s completely staffed by robot workers Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet-quality coffee to customers With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and even wave a steam want to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top Unlike human baristas, it can serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break Robots are also invading our homes The Rooma is mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically according to a schedule The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the shade Then there's the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get up on time The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room Once you finally catch it, you're probably too wake to hit the snooze button Although these early home robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned about a future filled with robots Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines everything for us Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may decide to turn on their masters These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched but there are certainly lots of questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future 36 According to the first paragraph, how is life changed since our grandparents' time? A Children have to walk longer distances to school B The education system has got much worse C Things aren't as hard as they once were D It hasn't changed much at all 37 How is Briggo's invention superior to human workers? A It is better at conversation B It never has to stop C It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making D It can operate machinery 38 What would happen if you pressed the snooze button? A The alarm clock would turn off forever B You would have to wake up immediate C Nothing would happen at all D The alarm would stop, but go off again soon 39 Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over robotics?

Because this coronavirus is new, scientists don’t know everything about it yet But they think that there are two main ways that people can catch it Coronavirus germs live in people’s throats and mouths When someone who has the coronavirus coughs or sneezes or breathes out, the germs come (33) their mouth in tiny drops of water Though you can’t see the germs, you can sometimes see these tiny drops In cold weather, they make a cloud of steam So if someone else (34) breathes in the air with the coronavirus germs in it, they would probably get the illness Some people, particularly most children, hardly feel ill (35) when they get the coronavirus But they still have coronavirus germs in their body that they could give to someone else by mistake When they get the coronavirus, lots of people get (36) and a high temperature Some people also have a headache or aches all over their body People are usually ill for a few days But bodies are amazing things When a new germ, (37) the coronavirus, gets into someone’s body, their body knows that the germ shouldn’t be there and starts killing it Question 33 A from B round C out of D into Question 34 A accidentally B deliberately C intentionally D effectively Question 35 A at once B at all C at least D at a loss Question 36 A cough B coughs C coughing D coughing up Question 37 A alike B unlike C as D like 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 38 to 43 Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth’s 11 ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments Question 38 What does the passage mainly discuss?

of the questions from 38 to 43 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 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 Question 38 What is the main topic of the passage?

A States' rights versus federal rights B The participation of state governments in railroad, canal, and turnpike construction C The roles of state and federal governments in the economy of the nineteenth century D Regulatory activity by state governments Question 45 According to the passage, the word “effect” in line is closest in meaning to _ A value B argument C influence D restraint Question 46 All of the following are mentioned in the passage as areas that involved state governments in the nineteenth century EXCEPT A mining B banking C manufacturing D higher education Question 47 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that in the nineteenth century canals and railroads were _ A built with money that came from the federal government B much more expensive to build than they had been previously C built predominantly in the western part of the country D sometimes built in part by state companies Question 48 The regulatory activities of state governments included all of the following EXCEPT _ A licensing of retail merchants B inspecting materials used in turnpike maintenance C imposing limits on price-fixing D control of lumber Question 49 According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Homestead Act of 1862? A It made it increasingly possible for settlers to obtain land in the West B It was a law first passed by state governments in the West C It increased the money supply in the West D It established tariffs in a number of regions Question 50 Which of the following activities was the responsibility of the federal government in the nineteenth century?
