Questions 46 - 50 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the bllowing questions
Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have been near extinction Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300, and by the year 2025 their population is estimated to be
down to zero 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 interested in material gain but in personal
gratification This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the problem of extinction
Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are a valuable part 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 order to
circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then change admission

Trang 4Questions 59 - 65 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions
Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals In addition, man can catch the disease from animals In fact, a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidences of illness Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have
evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus
without contracting the disease There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted
from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds
It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time The
result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes This raises the
possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce
an entirely new spike Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into
being Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce
a new strain which is transmitted to man
59 According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses …
A cause ill health in wild animals
