Exercise 2: Read the passage and choose the best option to answer the question.
Species that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have been part of a given
biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local environment and to the
presence of other native species in the same general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign
elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one
context an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, over time, be regarded as being
just as “natural” as any native species in the same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously
disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these
unintended consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on
them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although
biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most destructive, effects have
occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative species
have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past
500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to the utilization
of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright extinction. Among many
examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief. By the
middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to incredibly low
population sizes. In response to public pressure, in 1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed
to an international moratorium on whaling. As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to
have been on extinction’s doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in
the western Pacific. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to suffer high
rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the demand for animal parts is
centered in several parts of Asia where there is a strong market for traditional medicines made from items
like tiger bone and rhino horn.
1. Native species .
A. are not used to the local environment

B. introducing new exotic species to local environments is necessary
C. exotic species have never been introduced on islands
D. very few native species have been damaged by exotic species

READING
Exercise 1: Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits the blank space in the following
passage.
When the word “endangered” is mentioned, people usually think of particular species, like the panda
or whooping crane. However, we would like to encourage you to think about (1) in a broader
context. It is (2) , the physical places where species live and interact with one another. Although
the development of special breeding programs, also known as captive conservation, may help some
species in some cases, it is clearly not (3) answer to the global problem. Indeed, (4)
we are able to protect natural areas where endangered species actually live, they have no future.
Species become endangered for a wide (5) of reasons. By analyzing and grouping many
individual cases, however, we find the same broad causes (6) again and again.They are
Habitat Destruction, Exotic Species, and Overexploitation. Among other factors threatening particular
species are limited: distribution, diseases, and pollution. Limited distributions are often a consequence of
other threats: populations confined to one or a few small areas because of habitat (7) , for
example, may be disastrously affected by random factors. Diseases can have severe (8) on
species lacking natural genetic protections against particular pathogens, like the rabies and canine
distemper viruses that are currently devastating carnivore populations in East Africa. Domestic animals
are usually the reservoirs of these and other diseases affecting wild (9) , showing once again
that human activities lie at the root of most causes of endangerment. Pollution has seriously done harm
(10) number of terrestrial species, although species living in freshwater and marine ecosystems
are also suffering.

10. A. to B.for C. with D. at
Exercise 2: Read the passage and choose the best option to answer the question.
By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today. In
recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The
passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss
caused its extinction in 1914. The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers
and market hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only because of
the efforts of early conservationists.
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls to present-day
conservationists is to determine which species are the most endangered, so that conservation resources’
can be applied where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival
in the wild is threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly
within the two most serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangered. What threatens
these species’ existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and
ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate
changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply
the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food and tourist souvenirs. The list which
conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include
thousands of species whose status we do not yet know. Hundreds of species without common names have
been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are
included.
Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the
humble thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex
circle of life. All of us depend on the natural resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the
complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and
animals ultimately threatens people as well.
1. According to the first paragraph .
A. species extinction is only caused by hunting
B. human beings protect wife life much more than they do harm to them
C. the main cause of species extinction is human activities
D. we can stop radically species extinction by 2025
2. The North American bison .
A. was completely extinct in 1800s
B. was not the aim of human hunting
C. was raised by settlers in 1800s
D. has escaped from extinction thanks to conservationists
3. Species are categorized .
A. to prevent hunting
B. to provide food
C. to destroy their habitats
D. to give preferential right to conserve
4. Which sentence is true?
A. Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction.
B. The list which conservationists present does not include all kinds of species.
C. Pollution does nothing to species extinction.
D. Conservationists have good knowledge of all kinds of mollusks.
5. According to the last paragraph, .
A. species extinction has no relationship to human beings
B. what threaten plants and animals can do nothing to human beings
C. human beings depend on natural resources to survive
D. not every species has a role in the circle of life.
