The saola was discovered in May 1992 during a joint survey carried (29)________ by the Ministry of Forestry
of Vietnam and WWF in north-central Vietnam. The actual size of the remaining population is unknown. Its
rarity, distinctiveness and vulnerability make it one of the greatest priorities for conservation in the region. The
current population is thought to be (30)_________ hundred at a maximum and possibly only a few dozen at a
minimum. (31)_________ forests disappear under the chainsaw to make way for agriculture, plantations and
infrastructure, saola are being squeezed into smaller spaces. The added pressure from rapid and large-scale
infrastructure in the region is also fragmenting saola (32)_________.
WWF has been involved with the protection of the saola since its discovery. WWF's work to support the saola
focuses on strengthening and establishing protected areas. We helped improve the management of Vu Quang
Nature Reserve (33)_________ the saola was discovered. In the last four years we have helped establish two

Read the following passage and mark the correct letter A, B, C, or D.
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is
a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms
that could repair the damage caused by man.
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering
our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantation, such as pine
and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass,
for instance rye or wheat.
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged.
Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they
able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by
the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the world's
climate.
Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. How Ecosystems Work Better B. The Loss of Biodiversity
C. The Variety of Species D. Natural Mechanisms
Question 35: Which of the following is not a species used to replace a rich ecosystem?
A. Herbs B. Pine C. Eucalyptus D. Rye
Question 36: What, according to the passage, might be the final result of the simplification of natural
ecosystems?
A. The basic processes are altered. B. There is a loss of biodiversity.
C. There is global warming. D. There is a change in the climate.
Question 37: The word "them" in paragraph 2 refers to __________.
A. animals B. plants C. rain forests D. species

Read the following passage and mark the correct letter A, B, C, or D
If you go back far enough, everything lived in the sea. At various points in evolutionary history, enterprising
individuals within many different animal groups moved out onto the land, sometimes even to the most parched
deserts, taking their own private seawater with them in blood and cellular fluids. In addition to the reptiles,
birds, mammals and insects which we see all around us, other groups that have succeeded out of water include
scorpions, snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes and centipedes, spiders and various
worms. And we mustn’t forget the plants, without whose prior invasion of the land, none of the other migrations
could have happened.
Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including breathing and
reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals later turned around, abandoned their
hard-earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the water again. Seals have only gone part way back. They
show us what the intermediates might have been like, on the way to extreme cases such as whales and dugongs.
Whales (including the small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close cousins, the manatees,
ceased to be land creatures altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their remote ancestors. They
don’t even come ashore to breed. They do, however, still breathe air, having never developed anything
equivalent to the gills of their earlier marine incarnation. Turtles went back to the sea a very long time ago and,
like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully given
back to the water than whales or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on beaches. There is evidence that all
modern turtles are descended from a terrestrial ancestor which lived before most of the dinosaurs. There are two
key fossils called Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis dating from early dinosaur times,
which appear to be close to the ancestry of all modern turtles and tortoise. You might wonder how we can tell
whether fossil animals lived in land or in water, especially if only fragments are found. Sometimes it’s obvious.
Ichthyosaurs were reptilian contemporaries of the dinosaurs, with fins and streamlined bodies. The fossils look
like dolphins and they surely lived like dolphins, in the water. With turtles it is a little less obvious. One way to
tell is by measuring the bones of their forelimbs.
