Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Scientists today are concerned about the growing number of species in the world that may soon become extinct. The
United Nations, along with many governments, are trying to save these endangered species. To help resolve this issue,
scientists have been trying to learn why species become endangered.
In the United States, loss of habitat is the main reason for species becoming endangered. As populations grow and
cities or towns expand, nature is destroyed and the ecosystem is affected. Even small changes in one part of an ecosystem
can have a big impact on another part of it. For example, deforestation may result in a change in ground temperature,
which may kill off a certain kind of plant in the forest. Animals that eat this plant may suddenly find that there is no
available food so they starve to death.
Another possible cause of endangered or extinct species is climate change and rising sea levels. As the Earth gets
warmer, this has profound effects on animal and plant life everywhere. For example, rising sea levels make coastal areas
uninhabitable for birds. Warmer temperatures melt the ice where polar bears live, destroying their habitat and making it
harder for them to find food. A recent scientific study has found that the average weight of polar bears has dropped by 15
per cent in the last 20 years because of this. The rising seas also make it harder for polar bears to swim from the cold
waters to frozen packs of ice so many of them drown.
There are several ways that people are trying to help endangered species recover. Ecologists study different species
and try to find out more information about them to try and help. In Finland, for example, scientists found that a decrease
in the number of bogs or swamps was responsible for the falling butterfly population. Once they understood this, they
could manage the butterfly population and help it recover. Governments are also passing laws to protect endangered
animals. One example of this is an area near Hawaii with a critically low fish population. The United States’ government
has made it illegal for fishing boats to enter this area. Since this region has unique fish species, scientists and governments
are working hard to save them.

Question 34. According to the article, how are scientists trying to deal with the issue of some animals soon becoming
extinct?
A. they are conducting research to learn why governments become endangered
B. they are conducting research to discover why species become endangered
C. they are conducting research to discover how governments cause extinction
D. they are conducting research to help increase the number of different species in the world
Question 35. According to the article, what might happen to the land after trees have been cut down?
A. the temperature might mean that whole forests are destroyed
B. the temperature of the ground makes it difficult to cultivate new types of plants
C. the temperature might alter leading to certain species of plant not being able to survive
D. the temperature might increase leading to certain species of animals leaving the area
Question 36. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. cities and towns in the United States are growing too fast
B. most endangered species are located in the United States
C. changing an ecosystem can result in habitat loss and the death of animals
D. we need to plant more forests to prevent animals from becoming endangered or extinct
Question 37. The word “profound” in paragraph 3 could be replaced with:
A. serious B. proactive C. skilled D. productive
Question 38. The word “critically” in paragraph 4 could be replaced with:
A. rewardingly B. securely C. precariously D. presumptuously
Question 39. It is implied in the article that, ecosystems are fragile because:
A. changes in one aspect may impact others
B. they have very high ground temperatures
C. they are uninhabitable for wildlife and birds
D. they have no readily available food source
Question 40. What could you predict as the topic of the next paragraph in the passage?
A. The impact of fishing laws on the economy of Hawaii
B. A brief discussion of polar bears and their dietary habits
C. Examples of species that were once endangered but have recovered
