Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions. 
 Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own 
use. This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot 
of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken 
from the wild and developed into the forms we know today. 
 As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their 
knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history 
concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their 
imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that 
resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ. Thus, an extract made from a heart-
shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems. 
 Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our 
present knowledge of drugs and their uses.

 A. The beginning of natural history. B. Prehistoric man. 
 C. Early plants and animals. D. Cures from plants.

 A. produced flowers B. flourished C. changed D. learned 
Question 24. The word "extract" is closest in meaning to___________. 
 A. design B. flavor C. substance D. ailment 
Question 25. The word "rudiments" is closest in meaning to___________. 
 A. proofs B. beginnings C. requirements D. history 
Question 26. The word "this" refers to___________. 
 A. man’s domestication of plants and animals B. providing food for man 
 C. man’s ability to live on a small plot of land D. the earliest condition of prehistoric man

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions. 
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 animals 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. 
Question 35. The word "it" refers to____________. 
 A. an endangered plant B. the little blue macaw 
 C. a bird collection D. an endangered animal 
Question 36. Endangered animals____________. 
 A. cannot be saved because we need to save ourselves B. have a bad effect on others 
 C. are an important part of the world's wildlife D. will definitely die out soon 
Question 37. The word “die out” can be best replaced by____________. 
 A. be threatened B. reproduce C. vanish forever D. reappear 
 Question 38. The word “prey” can be best replaced by____________. 
 A. harm B. victim C. control D. feed 
 Question 39. The tone of the author of this passage can be described as____________. 
 A. concerned B. neutral C. curious D. indifferent 
 Question 40. The author uses the blue macaw as an example of____________. 
 A. a species of birds killed by hunters B. birds captured for zoos
