ground. We tend to forget that all of our presentday pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the <br />
wild and developed into the forms we know today.<br />
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their <br />
knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned <br />
the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations <br />
in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an <br />
internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heartshaped leaf might be <br />
prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems.<br />
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our <br />
present knowledge of drugs and their uses. <br />
Question 14. What does this passage mainly discuss?<br />
A. The beginning of natural history. B. Prehistoric man.<br />
C. Early plants and animals. D. Cures from plants.<br />
Question 15. The phrase "in this respect" refers to___________.<br />
A. the origin of knowledge of nature B. the development of the field of natural history<br />
C. the development of human culture D. the use of plants for drugs and medicine<br />
Question 16. The word "blossomed" is closest in meaning to___________.<br />
A. produced flowers B. flourished C. changed D. learned<br />
Question 17. The word "extract" is closest in meaning to___________.<br />
A. design B. flavor C. substance D. ailment<br />
Question 18. The word "rudiments" is closest in meaning to___________.<br />
A. proofs B. beginnings C. requirements D. history<br />
Question 19. The word "this" refers to___________.<br />
A. man’s domestication of plants and animals B. providing food for man<br />
C. man’s ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man<br />
Question 20. Ancient humanbeing were interested in___________.<br />
A. knowledge of history B. science fiction<br />
C. understanding of nature D. knowledge of drugs<br />
<br />

each of the blanks.<br />

strategy you adopt depends very much (22)_________ the degree of accuracy you require and the time at <br />
your disposal.<br />
If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is worth remembering <br />
that every dictionary has its advantages. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an <br />
accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (23)_________ of contexts. It is also <br />
important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native <br />
language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually (24)_________ safer to consult an <br />
EnglishEnglish dictionary.<br />
In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (25)_________ you are allowed to use one, <br />
it is very timeconsuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are, therefore, <br />
forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words.<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of <br />
the questions.<br />
In today's world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction, and the number of <br />
species at risk increases every year. Not all plants or animals existing in small numbers are endangered as <br />
their population may not be decreasing or threatened. An endangered species is one which is expected to <br />
die out within twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it.<br />
Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, <br />
tigers and some species of crocodile. Endangered plants include some species of cactus. Why are the <br />
above species of animals endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species are <br />
protected by law. Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur, tusks and horns <br />
continues. Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets. For example, the <br />
little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for private bird collections <br />
that it is almost extinct in the wild. In addition to this, many species' habitats are eliminated when people <br />
clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and nonnative animals which <br />
overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and mammals which are already at risk of extinction.<br />
Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately balanced, and the <br />
extinction of one species may have a serious effect on others. Secondly, it is the fault of mankind that so <br />
many species are endangered, so it is our responsibility to protect those species while we still can. We <br />
must stop the hunting of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is too late. It is worth <br />
making an effort by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves.<br />
