Water polo originated in England during the 1870s and soon became popular in the United States It was first played in the Olympic Games as a men’s exhibition sport in 1900 In 1904 it became a men’s medal sport, but only the United States fielded a team In 1908 it was contested internationally at the Olympics Over the succeeding decades water polo became especially popular in Europe

From approximately 1920 to 1946 the United States departed from the international rules for water polo by adopting for play a loosely inflated ball that could be gripped in one hand and carried toward the goal Opposing players usually attempted to seize the ball carriers, wrestle them under water and render them helpless from loss of breath This rough style of play virtually disappeared by 1946 Since that time traditional water polo has grown rapidly in North America, especially as a college sport It is particularly popular in southern California and other parts of the West

Women have played water polo since the Game’s early days, but participation was not widespread until the 1960s In 1961 United States Water Polo established a national club championship for women It has hosted one for men since 1980 Women’s water polo became an Olympic medal sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia

Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural environment, and that this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious damage to it When the fisherman throws the pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction In fact, Steinbeck was a member of an expedition to explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the “pearl of the world” Other critics have suggested that this work is the struggle between the good and the bad Although the fisherman has dreamed of buying peace and happiness with the pearl, he realizes that these spiritual gifts are beyond price They can not be bought

Đọc kỹ đoạn văn chọn phương án ( ứng với A B,C,D) cho câu từ 25 đến 29 All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human progress As the world’s population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution, and use more natural resources This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete with humans An excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle

At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth It is also one of the most endangered Scientists not know the exact number of leatherbacks because they spend their entire lives at sea This makes them very difficult to count But female leatherbacks come on land to lay their eggs From the number of nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of turtles The numbers not show a good future for the leatherback At one beach, scientists counted over 10,000 egg nests in 1954 In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach Scientists think that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago Human development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this

25 Based on the information in the passage, the term endangered animals can be best explained as

-A a kind of turtle B animals caught in fishing nets C animals with very low numbers D animals in areas where humans live

26 According to paragraph 1, humans pressure the animals in all of the following ways EXCEPT

-A by adding to pollution B by moving into new areas C by killing the animals D by using natural resources 27 The word them in line refers to -
