Question 7: Read the article about endangered species. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer: A, B, C or D. (5p) ENDANGERED SPECIES In today’s world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction, and the number of species at risk increases every year. Not all plants or animals existing in small numbers are endangered as their population may not be decreasing or threatened. An endangered species is one which is expected to die out within twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it. Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, tigers and some species of crocodile. Endangered plants include some species of cactus. Why are the above species of animal endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species are protected by law. Even when animals are legally protected. Illegal hunting for fur, tusks and horns continues. Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets. For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for private bird collections that it is almost extinct in the wild. In addition to this, many species’ habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and non-native animals which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and mammals which are already at risk of extinction. Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately balanced, and the extinction of one species may have a serious effect on others. Secondly, it is the fault of mankind that so many species are endangered, so it is our responsibility to protect those species while we still can. We must stop the hunting of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is too late. It is worth making an effort- by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves. 1. According to the text, ...... A. all plants and animals are expected to die out in 20 years if we don’t take measures to protect them. B. blue whales have become extinct. C. more and more species become endangered each year. D. only animal species are seriously threatened. 2. The author wonders why all the species mentioned are in danger because ...... A. all species are protected by law B. hunting is not allowed everywhere nowadays. C. most endangered species are kept in zoos. D. illegal hunting has been eliminated. 3. The author uses the blue macaw as an example of ...... A. birds captured for the pet trade. B. a species that has completely died out. C. a species of birds killed by hunters. D. birds captured for zoos. 4
4. According to the author introducing domestic, non-native animals ...... A. is not associated with endangered species. B. is only dangerous in tropical forests. C. is the only reason why some species habitats are destroyed. D. may threaten the habitats of some species. 5. Endangered animals ..... A. will definitely die out soon. B. are an important part of the world’s wildlife. C. cannot be saved because we need to save ourselves. D. have a bad effect on others. Question 8: a. There is one mistake in each of the following sentences. Find and correct it.(5p) 1. The King was too happy that he decided to build a pagoda of lotus shape over water. 2. He knows to repair the carburetor without taking the whole car apart. 3. Most of the food what elephant eat is brought to their mouths by their trunks. 4. If I knew you were coming, I would have met you at the airport. 5. I’m afraid all your copies have been sold but more have ordered. b. Complete each of the following sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as the sentence printed before it. ( 10p ) 1. Lan did not reach home until midnight. It ............................................................................. 2. The cost of living has gone up considerably in the last few years. There…………………………………………………. 3.

may look like simple, however it requires a great deal of practice. There are a number of different strokes which can to be used while swimming and most people have their own special preference.

Another one stroke is the back - stroke, which is used in competition or simply for relaxing. Then there is the butterfly - stroke, which is quite difficult and used mostly in competition.

Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. ( 10 pts ) Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited, there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all time of the year. Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diet. Growing urban population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distance and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare. 4/6
