Read the text and choose the best answer (A, B ,C or D) to each of the questions.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased 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 extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, 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 to the problem of extinction Animals such as

the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem International laws protecting animals must be enabled to ensure their survival-and the survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an

effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for

support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the

increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has had

some effect, but by itself will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

Poles Apart

Many are surprised to learn that Antarctica is nearly twice the size of the United States The name Antarctica was coined to mean “opposite to the Arctic” It is just that in many ways Antarctica is a high, ice-covered landmass In the Arctic, the landmasses are grouped around the ice-covered Arctic Ocean

Largely because of this difference, the climate of the two areas is very different Antarctica is the coldest area

in the world On the average, it is about 30 degrees colder than the Arctic At the South Pole, nearly 10,000 feet high, monthly mean temperatures run well below zero Only in coastal regions do temperatures sometimes rise about freezing in the summer (December to March) In contrast, near the North Pole monthly mean temperatures often rise above freezing

At both poles, daily temperatures may drop far below the monthly mean At the American South Pole Station, winter temperatures sometimes fall below -100 degrees Fahrenheit Elsewhere, on higher parts of the south polar plateau, even lower temperatures are recorded A temperature of -127 degrees Fahrenheit was measured in August

1960 It is the world’s record low temperature

Partly because of this climatic difference, the land animals and plants of the two regions are very different On the continent of Antarctica, there are very few plants In the Arctic, there are many plants In some of the few ice-free areas of Antarctica, mosses, lichens, and algae are found Penguins populate Antarctic coastlines but do not exist in the Arctic The land animals of the Arctic are foxes, bears, reindeer, and lemmings These animals are unknown in the Antarctic Old rock layers show that this “oppositeness” between north and south extends far back into the early chapters of earth history

Ice is the great feature of Antarctica More than 4.5 million square miles of ice sheet cover the area Great rivers of ice, called glaciers, push down the mountains Antarctica is the storehouse of about 85 percent of the total world supply of ice The icecap is very thick, averaging nearly 8,000 feet At one spot, scientists have found the distance from the surface to the rock underneath the ice to be more than 13,000 feet If this great volume of ice were to melt, the volume of the world oceans would increase, and sea level would rise Extreme atmospheric changes would have to take place for this to happen

71 The coldest area in the world is………
