(4)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 36 to 42.
The life span of an elephant that dies from natural causes is about sixty-five years Of course, an elephant can perish from a number of "unnatural causes"; e.g., it can be killed by hunters, most
probably for the valuable ivory in its tusks; it can die from diseases that spread throughout an elephant herd; or it can die from drought or from the lack of food that almost certainly accompanies the
inadequate supply of water
If, however, an elephant survives these disasters, it falls prey to old age in its mid-sixties Around this age, the cause of death is attributed to the loss of the final set of molars When this last set of teeth is gone, the elephant dies from malnutrition because it is unable to obtain adequate
nourishment In old age, elephants tend to search out a final home where there is shade for comfort from the sun and soft vegetation for cushioning; the bones of many old elephants have been found in such places

A fall ill B.shoot C die D get rich
Question 37: The word "unnatural" in line is closest in meaning to
A wild B violent C domesticated D abnormal

A a drowning B a lack of food
C an inadequate supply of water D an overabundance of animals
Question 39: Which of the following could be used to replace the word "survives" in line 6? A. Rises to B Succumbs to C Denies D a front porch Question 40: "Molars" in line are
A germs B old-age characteristics
C types of food D teeth
Question 41: In line 8, "malnutrition" is used to describe someone who
A is in good health B has an illness
C suffers from poor eating D experiences dental problems
Question 42: The expression "? final home" in line is closest in meaning to

(5)Species that belong to an area are said to be native species Typically, they have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of unintended consequences The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past 500 years
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation This word refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes In response to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western Pacific Others remain at great risk Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts Currently, the demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn
Question 44: Native species _. A are not used to the local environment
B never get along well with other native species in the same environment C tend to harm to exotic species
D have been part of a given biological landscape for a long period Question 45: Exotic species _
A no harm to native species and the local environment B may kill native species for food
(6)A non-native species have caused badly damage to native ones B introducing new exotic species to local environments is necessary C exotic species have never been introduced on islands
D very few native species have been damaged by exotic species
Question 47: According to the second paragraph, by the middle of the 20 century _. A whale population was the most crowded in marine life
B whale hunting was illegal
C whale population increased dramatically D whaling was not restricted
Question 48: Tiger bone and rhino horn _. A are not popular in Asian markets
B are never in the trade of animal parts C are used for making traditional medicines D cannot be found in Asian markets
Question 49: As a direct result, some whale species which A are thought to have been on extinction's doorstep 25 years ago. B have caused the grave endangerment.
C may cause no obvious problems and may, over time. D are said to be native species.
Question 50: Currently, the demand for animal parts A is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction.
B has been part of a given biological landscape for a long period
C is regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in the same habitat. D is centered in several parts of Asia where there.
