Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
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 insensitivity 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 set aside large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge
admission prices to help make a payment on 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. (Source: Reading Planet)

A. Bengal tiger B. Interest in material gain

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable
planet, more similar to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself – a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world. Mars’ air
pressure is equal to Earth’s at an altitude of 100,000 feet. The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation. Daytime temperatures may reach
above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates
back into space. Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night. Today there is no liquid
water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water.
The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as
permafrost.
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of trans-
forming Mars into a more Earth-like planet. Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and
eventually build up the atmosphere. This in turn could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat
from radiating back into space. Liquid water could be thawed to from a polar ocean. Once enough ice has
melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in
time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies. “This was once
thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher Mckay, a research scientist at NASA.
“But now it’s starting to look practical. We could begin word in four or five decades.”
The idea of “terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction. But as
researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun
to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars. Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any
time soon, though. The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost
would be staggering. (Source: Reading World)
Question 43.With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?
A. The possibility of changing the Martian environment.
B. The challenge of interplanetary travel.

A. a point 100 miles above the Earth B. the Earth’s Moon
C. Mars D. outer space

would make colonization difficult?
A. There is little liquid water.
B. Daytime temperatures are dangerously high.
C. The sun’s rays are deadly.
D. Night time temperatures are extremely.
Question 46. According to passage, the Martian atmosphere today consist mainly of ______.
A. carbon dioxide B. oxygen
C. ozone D. water vapour
Question 47. The word “suitable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. resistant B. altered C. appropriate D. native
Question 48. According to Christopher Mckay, the possibility of transforming Mars ______.
A. could only occur in science fiction stories.
B. will not begin for hundreds, even thousands of years.
C. is completely impractical.
D. could be started in forty to fifty years.
Question 49. The phrase “more profound” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. deeper B. more practical C. more up-to-date D. brighter
Question 50. According to the article, the basic knowledge need to transform Mars comes from ______.
A. the science of astronomy B. a knowledge of Earth’s ecology
C. data from space probes D. science fiction stories
