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 questions 
 By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today. In recent 
centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The 
passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused 
its extinction in 1914. The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market 
hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only because of the efforts of 
early conservationists. 
 Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls to present-day 
conservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation resources' can be applied where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild 
is threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two most 
serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangered. What threatens these species' existence? 
Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human 
settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; 
unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, 
traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs. The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the 
species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we do not yet know. 
Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are 
on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included. 
 Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the 
humble thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of 
life. All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural 
balance, and beauty of our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens 
people as well. 
Question 26: According to the first paragraph _______. 
 a. species extinction is only caused by hunting 
 b. human beings protect wife life much more than they do harm to them 
 c. the main cause of species extinction is human activities

Question 27: The North American bison _______. 
 a. was completely extinct in 1800s 
 b. was not the aim of human hunting 
 c. was raised by settlers in 1800s 
 d. has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists 
Question 28: Species are categorized _______. 
 a. to prevent hunting b. to provide food 
 c. to destroy their habitats d. to give preferential right to conserve 
Question 29: Which sentence is true? 
 a. Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction. 
 b. The list which conservationists present does not include all kinds of species. 
 c. Pollution does nothing to species extinction. 
 d. Conservationists have good knowledge of all kinds of mollusks. 
Question 30: According to the last paragraph, _______. 
 a. species extinction has no relationship to human beings 
 b. what threaten plants and animals can do nothing to human beings 
 c. human beings depend on natural resources to survive 
 d. not every, species has a role in the circle of life.

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 questions. 
There is a wide range of organisms by their population whose lives mostly depend on how they hunt or are 
hunted. And most living organisms have some way of protecting themselves from natural predators. Some 
mammals, like the platypus, carry internal toxins to transmit to predators via biting or other means, and some 
plants protect themselves by being poisonous. The African crested rat was originally thought to be poisonous 
because predators that tried to eat it often became paralyzed. But scientists have recently learned that's not 
actually the case. 
 The crested rat chews on the poisonous bark of a certain tree, and then smears the chewed-up substance 
onto its fur, where a strip of special quill-like hairs soaks up the poisonous mixture. Though similar to a 
porcupine's, the quills do differ: whereas the porcupine defends itself by poking predators, the African rat uses its quill-like hairs to deliver poison to them. When a predator comes after it, instead of running away, the rat 
stays put and parts its hair to reveal the strip of fur on its back where the poison is being stored. That raised 
strip is the first thing that receives a bite, and the poison inside disables the predator. These hair tubes are 
unusual. In fact, scientists do not know of another animal that uses plant poison in this way. 
Scientists are puzzled that the rat doesn't appear to be affected by the poison. Because it affects heartbeat 
regulation, understanding how the rat can keep its heart rate regulated effectively while using the poison could 
help scientists develop new medicines for people with heart trouble. And they hope that those suffering from 
heart diseases will benefit from this.

 A. To illustrate that mammals may eat poisonous plants. 
 B. To give an example of a mammal that uses poison. 
 C. To show how it differs from the crested rat. 
 D. To explain that the platypus is at risk.

 A. disabled B. unaffected C. inaccessible D. undecided 
Question 47: In paragraph 2, what does the word “them” refer to? 
 A. predators B. porcupines C. crested rats D. quill-like hairs 
Question 48: The word “defends” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
