It would be foolish to deny the danger of sharing the road with motor vehicles and it must be admitted that there are an alarming (34) of accidents involving cyclists However, although police records (35) that the car driver is often to blame, the answer lies with the cyclist It is possible to ride in such a way as to reduce risks to a minimum

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.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects, an estimated 90 percent of the world's
species have scientific names As a consequence, they are, perhaps, the best group of insects for
examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on
the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321 This early comparison
of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal
Trang 5and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather than between them, is poorly understood Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species
among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations,
even for vertebrates In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are
made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples
because they are the most familiar species It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by
imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized
Question 43: Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss?
A Their physical characteristics B Their adaptation to different habitats
Question 44: The word "consequence" in the passage is closest in meaning to " _".
Question 45: Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues
because they _.
A are found mainly in temperate climates B have been given scientific names
C are simple in structure D are viewed positively by people
Question 46: The word "striking" in the passage is closest in meaning to " _".
Question 47: The word “exceed” in the passage is closest in meaning to " _".
Question 48: All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of
diversity EXCEPT _.
A differences between temperate and tropical zones
B variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants
C patterns of distribution of species in each region
D migration among temperate and tropical zones
Question 49: The author mentions "tropical Asia" in the passage as an example of a location where
_
A a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established
B butterflies are affected by human populations
C butterfly behavior varies with climate
D documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists?
A European butterfly habitats
B Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups
C Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region
D Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions
The end!
