(ID: 103101) 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 questions
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have
either become extinct or near extinction has increased(16) 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 oí 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 contributing 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 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 on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols
o protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an
international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had some
effect, but by itself will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

(ID: 103112) 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 questions
Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an
astronomer, he was a scientist of diverse interests and great skill (26) In addition to
studying the skies, Halley was also deeply interested exploring the unknown depths of the oceans One of his lesser-known accomplishments that was quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated exploration of the watery depths
The diving bell that Halley designed had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in use prior to his Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air
contained within the bell itself, so divers had to surface when the air inside the bell ran
low Halley's bell was an improvement in that its design allowed for an additional
supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain underwater for several hours

Trang 4(30)
The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that
measured three feet across the top and five feet across the bottom (31 A)and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open at the bottom (31.C)so that divers could swim
in and out at will The bell was built of wood, which was first heavily tarred to make it water repellent (31 B) and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to make the
bell heavy enough to sink in water The bell shape held air inside for the divers to
breathe as the bell sank to the bottom
The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for the divers to breathe, and
it was this improvement that made Halley's bell superior to its predecessors(28) In
addition to the air already in the bell, air was also supplied to the divers from a lead
barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor close to the bell itself.(34) Air flowed through
a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell The diver could breath the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing
a diving suit that consisted of a lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing window and a leather body suit, with a leather pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the helmet
26 The subject of the preceding passage was most likely Halley's
27 Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage?
A Halley's work as an astronomer B Haley's many different interests
C Halley's invention of a contraption for diving D Halley's experiences as a diver
28 Halley's bell was better than its predecessors because it
A was bigger B provided more air
C weighed less D could rise more quickly
29 The expression ran low in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A moved slowly B had been replenished
C sank to the bottom D was almost exhausted
30 How long could divers stay underwater in Halley's bell?
A Just a few seconds B Only a few minutes
C For hours at a time D For days on end
31 It is NOT stated in the passage that Halley's bell
A was wider at the bottom than at the top B was made of tarred wood
32 The expression at will in paragraph 3 could best be replaced
