PASSAGE 1: Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question
Most people think that lions only come from Africa This is understandable because in fact most lions come from there but this has not always been the case If we went back ten thousand years, we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe However now, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion's former habitat remains
(4)East, all the way to India In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free two thousand years ago Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India
The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival One of these is the ever-present danger of disease This is what killed more than a third ofAfrica’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there
India's lions are particularly vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool The reason for this is interesting - it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them; otherwise they would probably have died out completely
When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality They are very impressive animals and you would never guess that they have this vulnerability when you look at them 41 According to the passage, many people believe that lions come from
A.Europe B.Africa C.Middle East D.India 42 Ten thousand years ago

45 The word "vulnerable" in paragraph is closest in meaning to
A.cautious B.weak C.careless D.easily protected 46 The Asiatic lion
A.was looking for food mainly in the Middle East B.was searching for food in a wide range of countries
C.was searching for food mainly in India and Africa D.was looking for food mainly in India
47 According to the author, the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary
A.protects the Asiatic lion from hunters and diseases B.can make the Asiatic lion become weak
C.cannot reduce the Asiatic lion's risk of catching diseases D.is among many places where the Asiatic lion is well protected
48 The author refers to all of the following as characteristics of the Asiatic lion EXCEPT A.vital B.strong C.impressive D.vulnerable
49 The following statements are correct EXCEPT that
A.a rich prince sponsored the protection of Asiatic lions B.the current Asiatic lions come from a great number of lions C.the Asiatic lion was loved by a wealthy prince
D.although the Asiatic lion looks strong from appearance they are easily attacked by diseases 50.The passage was written to

For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is a handheld wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells
Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for two people to talk to each other Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they can be used in many different locations A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half- duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time A cell phone is a full- duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time A walkie-talkie has only one channel A cell phone has more than a thousand channels A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about a mile A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication Motorola and Bell Laboratories ( now AT& T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication device Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT& T while walking down the streets of New York city People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna- Tac It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds ( as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as or ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone
available to the general public After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use The early cell phone and its service were both expensive The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500 In 1977, AT & T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years
