It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year ( who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their eighties, enter into this sport.The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.

This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun.

Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2300 and by the year 2050, their population is estimated to be down to zero. 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 interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are a valuable part 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 order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They, then charge admission to help defray the costs ofmaintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. With the money they get, they can invest equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but will not by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed. 26/ The author uses the phrase " stem the tide" in the second paragraph to mean . a save b touch c tax d stop 27/ Which of the following best describes the author's attitude? a vindictive b surprised c concerned d forgiving 28/ Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word " alarming" in the first paragraph? a gripping b distressing c serious d dangerous 29/ The word " defray" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following? a raise b. make an investment toward c lower d. make a payment on 30/ The word " callousness" in the first paragraph could best be replaced by which of following? a independence b insensitivity c indirectness d incompetence 3 31/ what is the main topic of the passage? a international boycott b the Bengal tiger c endangered species d problems with industrialization 32/ Which of the following could best replaced the word " allocated" in the second paragraph? a set aside b combined c taken off d organized 33/ What does the word " this" in the first paragraph refer to ? a sources that may not be accurate b poachers who seek personal gratification c endangered species that are increasing d Bengal tigers that are decreasing 34/ The above passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast . a a problem and a solution b a statement and an illustration c a comparison and contrast d a specific and general information 35/ Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction? a What is alarming personal gratification b Since the world down to zero c Countries around for support d With the money endangered species Choose the underlined part among A, B, C, or D that needs correcting. 36/ It is pleasant to be with people who like us and who we like. a b c d 37/ The children were surprised when the teacher had them to close their books unexpectedly. a b c d 38/ Don’t touch anything until the police come, do you? a b c d 39/ Of the two cars that the Smiths have, the Plymouth is , without any question, the cheapest a b c to run. d 40/ The purpose of the United Nations, broad speaking, is to maintain peace and security and a b c to encourage respect for human rights d Choose the word or phrase the best fits the blank space in the following passage Changing countries (41) a new life and hoping for a significant change in their standard of living, foreign workers began flocking into Western Europe during the 1950s.
