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
Oxford University scientists have launched an attempt to bring the Northern White Rhinoceros back from beyond the “point of no return” using IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) The team believes a pioneering treatment can prompt a revival of the persecuted species, despite the death last year of the last known male and the fact that the two remaining females, Najin and Fatu, cannot have calves
One of two subspecies of White Rhinoceros, the Northern Rhinoceros once ranged over tracts of Uganda, Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo However, the value of
its horns saw it poached from a population of approximately 500 to 15 in the 1970s and 1980s A small
recovery - numbers reached 32 - from the early 1990s was then reversed from 2003 when illegal hunting
intensified again
The Oxford researchers believe that it will be possible to remove ovarian tissue from the animals and stimulate it to produce eggs, which would then be fertilized from sperm preserved from male Northern
White Rhinoceros The embryos would then be implanted into a surrogate mother of a similar species,
probably a Southern White Rhinoceros The technique has been used successfully in mice for nearly two decades; it has also been accomplished for some species of dog, horse and cat However, it has never been attempted before on a rhinoceros, meaning the Oxford team plan to perfect it first by conducting a series
of trials on ovarian tissue taken from a Southern White Rhinoceros
Trang 3In principle, the benefit of removing ovarian tissue for use in the lab is that it can go on producing eggs Other researchers are exploring the possibility of using the remaining Northern White Rhinoceros sperm
to cross-breed with Southern White Rhinoceros, however, Dr Williams believes the focus should be on preserving the identity of the northern species “This will be a huge buffer against disease and ill-health
in the long-term, and give the new herds better genetic ability to adapt to changing environments in the future.”
Najin was born in captivity in 1989 and Fatu in 2000 They both belong to the Cvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic, which shipped them to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya in 2009 amid tight security In place of their horns, keepers have fitted radio transmitters to allow close monitoring of their whereabouts in the large paddock areas The team has enough funding for three years’ research, donated from Foundation Hoffman, however, Oxford University has launched a public appeal to raise the money
to secure the project long term
Question 16. Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
A Oxford University Holding a Public Appealto Raise the Animal Protection Fund
B Oxford University in an Attempt to Protect an Endangered Species
C Oxford University Pondering Changes to Fertilizing Techniques

B has been dramatically dropped since 2003, after a long time of continuous development
C has been descended as a result of illegal hunting since people began to value its horns

Question 19 The word "intensified" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A introduced B eliminated C increased D discouraged
Question 20. According to the passage, Najin and Fatu are mentioned about all of the following
EXCEPT
A their habitat B their origin C their strength D their gender
Question 21 The word "surrogate" in paragraph 3 mostly means

B Preserving the identity of the northem species is the priority in this period of time
C Hybrid Rhinoceros can adapt to the future environment better than their ancestors
D Dr William wants to promote cross-breeding Southern and Northem Rhinoceros

B Oxford University can afford a three year project without being sponsored by any foundation
C Najin and Fatu are the last known female rhinos which can have calves naturally
D Researchers can find out the position of Najin and Fatu if they want
