[61-70] Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal species that
have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the
jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300, and by 5 the year 2025 their population is
estimated to be down to zero. 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 interested in
material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part 10 of what is
causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are
a valuable part of the worlds ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to
ensure their survival, and the survival of our planet.
15 countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in
order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then
charge admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, 20 and they often must also depend on
world organizations for support. With the money they get, they can invest in equipment and patrols to
protect the animals. Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an
international boycott of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but it 25 will
not, by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. the Bengal tiger
B. international boycotts
C. endangered species
D. problems with industrialization

[71-80] Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
THE MODERN CARS OF THE FUTURE
Today's cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the
car of the future will be far more pollution- free than those on the road today. Several new types of
automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as
electricity , compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is
the only zero- emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other
dependable source of current is available , transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric
vehicles entering every life: shorter-range commuter electric cars , three-wheeled neighborhood cars,
electric delivery vans , bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility
engineers are focusing on infrastructure system to support and make the best use of the new cars.
Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today's gas stations. Public parking spots on
the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their
batteries while they stop, dine or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most
convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planers foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at
transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a
variety of electric cars to suit their needs light trucks, one-person three wheelers, small cars, or
electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips , which will no doubt take place on automated freeways
capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today.
71. The author's purpose in the passage is to
A. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles.
B. support the invention of electric cars.
