Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 36 to 40
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
36 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Endangered species B Problems with industrialization C The Bengal tiger D International boycotts
37 The word “callousness” could be best replaced by which of the following?
A insensitivity B indirectness C incompetence D independence 38 Which of the following could best replace the word “allocated”?
A organized B combined C taken D set aside 39 What does the term “international boycott” in the third paragraph refer to?
A Defraying the cost of maintaining national parks B A global increase in animal survival
C A refusal to buy animal products worldwide D Buying and selling of animal products overseas

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine The early herbalists
sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present knowledge of drugs and their uses

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 following questions
Although most universities in the United States are on semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring and summer quarter The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each, beginning in September, January, and March; the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varying length
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to complete three degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any of the other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year
round, the resources are used efficiently to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many faculty complain that the eleven-week term is simply not long enough for them to cover the material required by most college courses Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system, some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides more options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early

round

(22)C September D At the beginning of the academic year Question 48 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A Universities in the United States B The Academic Year
C The Semester System D The Quarter System
Question 49 When is the academic year?
A September to June B September to August
