E READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)
Passage 1 Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question
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 animals 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
41.What is the main topic of the passage?

44 The previous passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast:
A Specific and general information B A statement and an illustration
C A comparison and a contrast D A problem and a solution
45 What does the word “this” refer to in the passage?
A Interest in material gain B Bengal tiger
C The decrease in the Bengal tiger population D Killing animals for personal satisfaction
46 Where in the passage does the author discuss a cause of extinction?
A Lines 4-6 B Lines 1-3 C Lines 7-9 D Lines 10-16
