A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and to on
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men It seems that the majority of women still want love stories There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen Question 41: The recent research into children’s reading has shown that they _.

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 from 46 to 50.
Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation The truth is that the populations of many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, are on the rise The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as animals on land But unfortunately, marine creatures are equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as habitat destruction and overexploitation Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development Animals that have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invaluable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish from places where they once flourished.

D Coastal development affects the reproduction process of some sea animals Question 48: Which of the followings is closest in meaning to “vulnerable”?
