Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or haveneared extinction _(31) 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 exticnt

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers _(32), 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 _(33) the problem

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

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What causes

extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The exact causes of

a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile

to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and,

ultimately, in the death of a species

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time—a mass extinction

One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs

and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, When approximately 95 percent of all species died, Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example,

something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth

would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction

One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have

tended to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also

speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events

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 causedits 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-dayconservationists 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

36) 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

D we can stop radically species extinction by 2025

37) 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

38) Species are categorized _

C to destroy their habitats D to give preferential right to conserve

39) 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

40) 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

Trang 8

All animal life on the planet Earth depends on a sufficient supply of oxygen for its day-to-day

survival The trees that dot our landscapes provide a large portion of this supply: trees take carbon dioxide from the surrounding air and in return they create a sizeable amount of oxygen Ironically, human beings,

who cut down large numbers of trees to create land, shelter, and energy, pose the most significant threat to the survival of the world-wide tree population But humans are not the only force that threatens the survival

of these mighty members of the plant kingdom Trees among the oldest and largest organisms on the

planet face many other dangers Lightning, fire, and other natural disasters, for example, can destroy many

square miles of old-growth forest in a matter of hours Disease-causing fungi and insect pests can also eradicate entire populations of trees within a particular region

After humans, however, the factor which most determines whether a particular species of tree will prosper in a given area is climate In particular, the amount of rainfall and the range of temperatures that a region experiences strongly affects the distribution of tree species All species of trees have evolved from plants that flourished many centuries ago in the warm and wet tropical regions of the planet As the

distribution of trees has spread to other regions, the differing climates of these regions have effectively limited the types of trees that can live there The greater the range of temperature and rainfall that a species

of tree can withstand, the more adaptable it is and therefore the wider its range of distribution

41) What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The importance of the Earth's oxygen supply B Humankind's effect on the environment

C Dangers facing the Earth's trees D The survival strategies of tree populations

42) The word “they” in line 2 refers to

43) The phrase "sizeable amount" in line 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A Large reduction B Diminishing supply

C Substantial volume D Breathable portion

44) According to the passage, what represents the greatest danger to tree populations?

A Disease-causing fungi B Fire C Energy supplies D People

45) The word "face" in line 7 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

to show that there are problems in the world and that they can be overcome Just like adults, children have fears and worries; theirs are of things such as abandonment, loss, injuries, witches Fairy tales present real problems in afantasy form (34) children are able to understand This, it is claimed, allows them to (35) _ their fearsand to realise, if ever in their unconscious mind, that no matter how difficult the circumstances, there are always ways of coping (Adapted from "Richmond Practice Tess for Cambridge Englisk Advanced)
