Bears spend much of their time looking for food, and they are not choosy, gorging on insects, berries, nuts, small mammals, ham sandwiches, and garbage with equal relish. Despite this, the chief natural factor limiting a bear population is the food supply. Dr. Lynn Rogers has found that, contrary to popular belief, so-called garbage bears – those that visit town dumps or campsites – do not lose their ability to forage successfully for wild foods but are simply supplementing their diets with easy pickings. In fact, these enterprising bears grow faster, mature sooner, and reproduce earlier than those that depend only on wild foraging. Rogers has also found that dump-fed bears are the strongest and largest in the population. He and his crew once captured a male bear that weighed in at 611 pounds. But easy living for the bears carries a price: those that stalk garbage dumps are easier targets for hunters and those that visit camps – if not injure – visitors. Some state wildlife agencies capture “nuisance” bears that have become too chummy with people and cast them off to less populated parts of the forest. The removal programmes do not always work; bears released 100 miles or more from their place of capture have reappeared in their old haunts. 61. The passage suggests that Dr. Lynn Rogers is a __________. a. writer who has published books about bears’ feeding habits. b. naturalist whose concern is preserving bears’ wild habitats. c. scientist who has studied dump-fed bears. d. rapper who captures live bears for zoos. 62. The author states that which of the following assumptions about bears has been proved to be wrong? a. Some would rather eat wild foods than garbage. b. They devote a lot of time to searching for food. c. Some do not fear campers and approach campsites readily. d. They lose their foraging ability after feeding at garbage dumps. 63. Which of the following is NOT true of bears that feed at garbage dumps and campsites? a. They grow at a relatively slow rate b. They can be easily shot c. They reproduce at an early age d. They are sometimes relocated 64. It can be concluded from the passage that garbage bears are the strongest of the bear population because ___________. a. their natural predators are not found near garbage dumps b. they can get more food by combining wild food and food from dumps c. they have been known to travel 100 miles or more d. they get a lot of exercise climbing in and out of garbage cans 65. The term “those” refers to _____________. a. visitors b. dumps c. hunters d. bears 66. It can be inferred from the passage that bears’ contact with humans resulted in ____________. a. bears’ preference for life in the wild b. both benefits and disadvantages to bears c. an increase likelihood of the extinction of bears d. bears’ susceptibility to a variety of diseases 67.

Swans are among the most beautiful of North American waterfowl and have always enjoyed the admiration and even the protection of bird lovers. Of the six species in the swan genus, only two are native to North America. The trumpeter swan, the largest of the group, breeds in the northern United States and Alaska, and was nearly wipe out during the nineteenth century craze for elaborately feathered hats. The whistling swan, which winters in large flocks on the Chesapeake Bay, has recently been renamed the tundra swan because it breeds and summers on the northernmost tundra regions of the continent. Recently, populations of mute swans – an exotic species introduced to North America from Europe in the early 1900s – have begun increasing by an alarming 30 to 40 percent annually in some states. Most wildlife biologists today believe the majestic white creatures, with their tendency to destroy a pond’s plant life and drive away native waterfowl, might create havoc on the scale of the gypsy, moth, starling, or English sparrow. Both native species of swans are wild and require large areas of uninhabited summer ground for nesting and feeding. Mutes, however, semi-domesticated and accustomed to people, can nest in pairs of many as three or four on one small coastal pond, which can burden delicate and environmentally essential brackish ponds. 71.
