Leakey’s Achievement Although he made his name with his archeological finds of early humans, Richard Leakey became famous as the conservationist who turned the tide against elephant poaching. Bringing the slaughter of Kenya's elephants under control required a military solution, and Leakey was not afraid to apply it. Many poachers were killed, giving Leakey a reputation for being a cold- blooded obsessive who put animals before people. Moreover, his efforts to eradicate corruption in Kenya's wildlife management system won him many enemies. But the birth of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the eradication of elephant poaching and the ban on the international trade in ivory are his legacy, and they form the basis of Wildlife Wars. This surprisingly personal memoir has much to tell about the fragile relationships between conservationists and governments. It is a story not only of Kenya, but of the continuing cost of trying to save the world's wildlife from extinction. Life for the average person in Africa is tough, and basic needs are far from being met. This is the background against which Leakey fought his war, and he constantly refers to the Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – BỘ ĐỀ THI THỬ THQG 2015 – www.violet.vvn/quocbinh72 threat poverty poses to the preservation of Africa's spectacular wildlife. Leakey's argument, here and in recent lectures, is that national parks managed exclusively for biodiversity protection must be created, and that this protection of our wildlife heritage should be funded by international sources. However, in the early 1990s the development agencies favoured "communitybased" conservation. Leakey's stand on protection of parks was seen as a lack of respect for local communities, and used against him when he resigned as head of the KWS in 1994. Recently donors and conservationists have come to recognise the limitations of purely local conservation programmes; there is a growing consensus that the poor are unlikely to manage wildlife resources wisely for the long term because their needs are immediate. Wildlife Wars continues where Leakey's memoir One Life left off. It spans a 13year period, beginning in 1989 when Leakey became head of the KWS. Then the elephant slaughter was at its height across Africa; it is estimated that between 1975 and 1989 the international markets for ivory in Europe, the United States and Asia led to the death of 1.2 m elephants, slaughtered for their ivory to make piano keys, games and fashion accessories. Kenya's herds were reduced by more than 85% by armed poachers, who turned their guns on anything and anyone. To stop this killing required changing the perceptions of ivory users so as to eliminate the markets, as well as mounting an armed force against the poachers. With both humour and seriousness, Leakey explains the sacrifices he had to make in order to see his vision succeed. Despite the gravity of the situation, Leakey makes light of the sometimes comical circumstances, although it is clear that his life was at risk many times and he worked under tremendous pressure. For many, however, the real question is why this paleoanthropologist should risk his life for wildlife. The answer may lie in Leakey's own depiction of himself, although obviously aggressive and driven while running KWS, as essentially reflective. Presenting in moving terms his introduction to elephant emotions and society, he describes his outrage at the moral and ethical implications of poaching and culling for ivory, arguing that elephants, apes, whales and dolphins have emotions so like those of humans that they deserve to be treated as such. Hard-core wildlife groups sniggered at his 'bunny- hugging' tendencies, but they underestimated his impact. It is impossible to put a value on Leakey's work during those years. As the elephant population began to recover, Kenya's tourist industry revived to become the country's main source of revenue. An international awareness campaign centred on an ivory bonfire, which led to the ban on ivory trade and the collapse of ivory prices. 11. Richard Leakey is most well-known for_____.

A. taken B. kept C. given D. stood 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 following questions Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct. 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 always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contribution to the problem of extinction.Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species,are valuable parts 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 an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend onworld organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed. 61. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The Bengal tiger B. International boycotts C. Endangered species D. Problems with industrialization 62. Which of the following is closest m meaning to the word “alarming”? A. Dangerous B. Serious C. Grouping D. Distressing 63.

Topic: In Vietnam, a university diploma seems to guarantee one’s social status. What are your points of view about this? Why do people need to attend colleges or universities? Different people have different answers to this question. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them. Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years. Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – BỘ ĐỀ THI THỬ THQG 2015 – www.violet.vvn/quocbinh72 Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they've been away from home by themselves. In addition, this is the first time they've bad to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves. Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will he their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn't relate to their career. I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.
