it is estimated that they will become exticnt What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers _(32), according to some

species that ever existed have become extinct What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time—a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, When approximately 95 percent of all species died, Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events 36) The word “it” in line refers to A.environment B species C extinction D 99 percent 37) What does the author say in paragraph regarding

Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well 36) According to the first paragraph _ A species extinction is only caused by hunting B human beings protect wife life much more than they harm to them C the main cause of species extinction is human activities D we can stop radically species extinction by 2025 37) The North American bison _ A was completely extinct in 1800s B was not the aim of human hunting C was raised by settlers in 1800s D has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists 38) Species are categorized _ A to prevent hunting B to provide food C to destroy their habitats D to give preferential right to conserve 39) Which sentence is true? A Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction B The list which conservationists present does not include all kinds of species C Pollution does nothing to species extinction D Conservationists have good knowledge of all kinds of mollusks 40) According to the last paragraph, _ A species extinction has no relationship to human beings B what threaten plants and animals can nothing to human beings C human beings depend on natural resources to survive D not every, species has a role in the circle of life TRUONG VINH KY PRIMARY-SECONDARY-HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH 12 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 All animal life on the planet Earth depends on a sufficient supply of oxygen for its day-to-day survival The trees that dot our landscapes provide a large portion of this supply: trees take carbon dioxide from the surrounding air and in return they create a sizeable amount of oxygen Ironically, human beings, who cut down large numbers of trees to create land, shelter, and energy, pose the most significant threat to the survival of the world-wide tree population But humans are not the only force that threatens the survival of these mighty members of the plant kingdom Trees among the oldest and largest organisms on the planet face many other dangers Lightning, fire, and other natural disasters, for example, can destroy many square miles of old-growth forest in a matter of hours Disease-causing fungi and insect pests can also eradicate entire populations of trees within a particular region After humans, however, the factor which most determines whether a particular species of tree will prosper in a given area is climate In particular, the amount of rainfall and the range of temperatures that a region experiences strongly affects the distribution of tree species All species of trees have evolved from plants that flourished many centuries ago in the warm and wet tropical regions of the planet As the distribution of trees has spread to other regions, the differing climates of these regions have effectively limited the types of trees that can live there The greater the range of temperature and rainfall that a species of tree can withstand, the more adaptable it is and therefore the wider its range of distribution 41) What does the passage mainly discuss? A The importance of the Earth's oxygen supply B Humankind's effect on the environment C Dangers facing the Earth's trees D The survival strategies of tree populations 42) The word “they” in line refers to A landscapes B trees C carbon dioxide D surrounding air 43) The phrase "sizeable amount" in line is closest in meaning to which of the following?
