Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 	In 1972, a century after the first national park in the United States was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program.
The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar to that 
existing for land areas designated as national parks. The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed.
 	The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce.
Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978. They range in size 
from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.
Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.
Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea. Others range from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas. whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss? 
 	A. Differences among marine parks, sanctuaries, and reserves
 	B. Various marine conservation programs 
C. International agreements on coastal protection 
 	D. Similarities between land and sea protected environments 
Question 37. The word “intent” in line 3 is closest in meaning to__________. 
 	A. repetition 	B. approval	C. goal	D. revision 
Question 38. The word “these” in line 10 refers to 
 	A. sites 	B. candidates 	C. decades 	D. sanctuaries 
Question 39. The passage mentions the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (line 12) as an example of a sanctuary that__________. 
 	A. is not well know 	
B. covers a large area 
 	C. is smaller than the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary 
 	D. was not originally proposed for sanctuary status 
Question 40. According to the passage, when was the National Marine Sanctuaries Program established? 
 	A. Before 1972	
B. After 1987 
 	C. One hundred years before national parks were established 
 	D. One hundred years after Yellowstone National Park was established 
Question 41. According to the passage, all of the following are achievements of the National Marine Sanctuaries Program EXCEPT__________.
 	A. the discovery of several new marine organisms 
 	B. the preservation of connections between individual marine species 
 	C. the protection of coastal habitats 
 	D. the establishment of areas where the public can observe marine life 
Question 42. The word “periphery” in line 22 is closest in meaning to 
 A. depth 	B. landmass 	C. warm habitat 	D. outer edge 
Question 43. The passage mentions which of the following as a threat to marine areas outside the United States? 
 	A. Limitations in financial support 	B. The use of marine species as food 
 	C. Variability of the climate 	D. Increases in tourism

STEPHEN HAWKING
 	There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England. He can only move his eyes and two fingers on his left hand. He communicates through a computer. He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for him. This man is Stephen Hawking. People know him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist since Albert Einstein.
 	Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He then went to the University of Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease. This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought Hawking would live for only two and a half more years. When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.
 	At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work. Although Hawking had become more severely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge. Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind. Hawking had a son and then a daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse. His youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the computer. Hawking does research about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most famous ideas are about black holes. Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. They are so dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes.
 	As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave speeches and published articles. Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people. Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time. The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a millionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world famous. He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.
 	In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was very devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself. Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995.
 	Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years. He has helped to make people aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no limits.
