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 of maintaining 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. 56/ Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction? a Countries around for support b With the money endangered species c What is alarming personal gratification d Since the world down to zero 57/ The above passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast . 4 a a problem and a solution b a statement and an illustration c a specific and general information d a comparison and contrast 58/ The word " defray" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following? a make a payment on b. lower c raise d. make an investment toward 59/ what is the main topic of the passage? a the Bengal tiger b problems with industrialization c international boycott d endangered species 60/ The word " callousness" in the first paragraph could best be replaced by which of following? a insensitivity b independence c incompetence d indirectness 61/ Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word " alarming" in the first paragraph? a distressing b dangerous c serious d gripping 62/ Which of the following best describes the author's attitude? a concerned b forgiving c vindictive d surprised 63/ What does the word " this" in the first paragraph refer to ? a Bengal tigers that are decreasing b sources that may not be accurate c poachers who seek personal gratification d endangered species that are increasing 64/ The author uses the phrase " stem the tide" in the second paragraph to mean . a tax b save c touch d stop 65/ Which of the following could best replaced the word " allocated" in the second paragraph? a set aside b combined c taken off d organized Choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answers the question about the passage.
