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 these animals must be enacted

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 It will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

76.What is the main topic of the passage?

77 The word „poachers‟ used in line 6 could be best replaced by which of the followings?

78 What is an act of cruelty according to the passage?

A Having interest in material gain

B Hunting endangered animals

C Killing animals for personal satisfaction

D Causing the problem of extinction

79 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to protect animals from

extinction?

A Introduce laws to prohibit the killing of endangered animals

B Establish wildlife reserves

C Refuse to buy animal products

D Raise money to invest in equipment and patrol

80 Which of the following best describes the author's attitude?

A Forgiving B Surprised C Vindictive D Concerned

SECTION FIVE: WRITING

81 He wished he had invited her to his birthday party

→ He regretted

82 I prefer having dinner at home to going out for dinner

84.The car was so rusty that it couldn‟t be repaired

85.As soon as the teacher came in, they stopped talking
