( 5 pts )<br /> Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal species<br /> that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the<br /> jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 and by the year 2025, their population is estimated to be<br /> down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused<br /> almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not interested in material gain but in personal<br /> gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the problem of extinction.<br /> Animals like the Bengal tigers, as well as other endangered species, are a valuable part of the world’s ecosystem.<br /> International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival, and the survival of our<br /> planet.<br /> Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in<br /> order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They, then charge<br /> admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world<br /> organizations for support. With the money they get, they can invest equipment and patrols to protect the animals.<br /> Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott of products<br /> made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but will not by itself, prevent animals from being<br /> hunted and killed.<br /> 1. What is the main topic of the passage?.<br /> A. The bengal tiger<br /> C.

What does the word “This” in the first paragraph refers to?<br /> A. Endangered species that are increasing<br /> B. Bengal tigers that are decreasing<br /> C. Poachers who seeks personal gratification<br /> D. Sources that may not be accurate<br /> 5. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude?<br /> A. forgiving<br /> B. concerned<br /> C. vindictive<br /> D. surprised<br /> PART E:WRITING ( 25 pts )<br /> I/ Complete each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed<br /> 4<br /> <br /> before it.
