III. Read the passage carefully, then mark the letter A,B,C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
It is a disturbing fact that today many different kinds of wild animal throughout the world are in
danger of extinction. The reasons for this are many and varied, but we must largely blame pollution,
pesticides, the disturbance of the animals’ natural environment and man’s greed and thoughtlessness.
Industry has grown enormously and it has become common practice for factories to dispose of
waste matter in streams and rivers, causing great loss of life. Modern agricultural methods include the
use of pesticides which effectively control insects classified as pests, but which also destroy many
that are not. An increase in population has meant more building— and with it the destruction of much
of the countryside that provides habitat for wild animals. To satisfy man’s selfish desires the polar
bear in North America is under threat, hunted by sportsmen; in Borneo and Sumatra the orangutan
has become part of a smuggling racket; in South America the chinchilla is almost extinct because its
fur is in demand; whales are massacred world-wide for the oil and food. These are only a few of the
species under threat.
But the problem is receiving world-wide recognition, and some action is being taken. To name a
few examples - sewage pollution in the River Thames has been greatly reduced; and a ban on trading
in some furs has been agreed; and organisations like Friends of the Earth do valuable work in this
deserving cause.
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for animal extinction?
A. pollution B. man’s greed and thoughtlessness.

B. Industry has become common practice for factories to dispose of waste matter in streams and
rivers
C. Friends of the Earth is an organisation of farmers.
D. Some action is being taken to protect wildlife.
