E READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)
Passage Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question
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 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 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 animals 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 to 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 it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed
41.What is the main topic of the passage?
(5)C Problems with industrialization D The Bengal tiger
42 The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following? A Trained hunters B Concerned scientists
C Illegal hunters D Enterprising researchers 43 The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A indirectness B independence C insensitivity D incompetence 44 The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast:
A Specific and general information B A statement and an illustration C A comparison and a contrast D A problem and a solution 45 What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A Interest in material gain B Bengal tiger
C The decrease in the Bengal tiger population D Killing animals for personal satisfaction 46 Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?
A Lines 4-6 B Lines 1-3 C Lines 7-9 D Lines 10-16 47 Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?
A set aside B taken C combined D organized
48 The word “defray” is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A make a payment on B raise C lower D make an investment toward 49 What does the term “international boycott” refer to?

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST
(6)Watson and the people who worked on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal However, they had a strange prey, instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful The Sierra had been a whaling ship which had operated illegally The captain and crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it Later they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could He offered to pay $ 25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal ship, and he sank the Sierra He acted because he believes that whales must be protected Still, he acted without the approval of his government; therefore, his actions were controversial

(7)A Portugal B a ship on the Atlantic C The Sierra D Canada 58 The Sierra were acting illegally because they were _
A not obeying international laws B whaling C whaling and selling whales D All are correct 59 The main idea of paragraph three is
A the Sierra sold whale meat in some countries
B the people on the Sierra did not obey international laws C the people on the Sierra killed as many whales as they could D whaling is illegal according to international laws
