They started by creating nine special parks (38) that tigers could live in safety. The first was at Ranthambhore, a region which was quickly (39) into a desert because too much of the grass was being eaten by the local people's cattle.

Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth's history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to re-emerge. The word "dinosaurs" comes from two Greek words meaning "terrible ÔN TẬP 12 CĂN BẢN IV ~ 2 lizard". Dinosaurs were not lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The', biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as mature elephant and nearly equaled the' size of most modern-day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken. Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth's climate. It is believed that temperatiires dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protecting, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive. 46. What is the best title for this passage? A. The History of Earth B.

Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man. Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rain-forests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat. When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered arid even damaged. Without their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the "greenhouse effect", and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the wprld's climate. 46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How Ecosystems Work Better B. The Loss of Biodiversity C. The Variety of Species D. Natural Mechanisms 47.

To give examples of the loss of biodiversity. C. To give examples of variety of species. D. To show how ecosystems can work better. 49. What, according to the passage, might be the final result of the simplification of natural ecosystems? A. The basic processes are altered. B. There is loss of biodiversity. C. There, is global warming. D. There is a change in the climate. 50. What is the author's attitude to the loss of biodiversity? A. Indifferent B. Negative C. Positive D.
