We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people die. But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well, I think you already know this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food. So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them.
28. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. thousands 	 	 B. many	C. five to ten 	D. one hundred
29. People want to kill sharks because.	
A. they are afraid of sharks.	B. shark meat is a popular food.
C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks 	D. B and C are correct.
30. The number of sharks in the world is 	
A. not getting worried by some biologists. 	B. being killed. C. getting bigger. 	D. getting smaller.
31. Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A. Because they want to learn more about sharks . 
B. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.
C. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
32. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks. B.Laws have been passed in sharks' defence.
C. People like to hunt sharks.	 D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.

We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world's cities.

We have cut- down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instant, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn't enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the Earth. This is too important to ignore.

Audio script:
 There were many whales swimming in the ocean a long time ago. Then they were hunted and killed by Native American hunters. They hunted whales for food, oil, and other items. Seventy years ago, they were told to stop killing whales because the number of whales was so small. But the Native Americans were allowed that they could start hunting whales again afterwards. The problem was that some people did not want the whales to be killed but the Native Americans wanted to do what ancestors had done for many years and to teach their children about their past. They also think that it helps the group to stay together. Moreover, they are still allowed to hunt a limited number of whales to feed their communities. If people kept hunting whales, there would not be these wonderful animals any longer.

The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT. Twenty years ago, few people had access to a computer whilst today most people use them at work, home or school and use of e-mail and the Internet is an every day event. 
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, .for many people this has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. In addition, the huge size of the Web means it is almost impossible to control and regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing unsuitable websites. In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe developments relating to new technology in the future are likely to produce many negative effects that will need to be addressed very carefully.
28. In the last twenty years.
A. there have been dramatic changes in the field of computer science

Read the passage and choose the correct answers (1.25ms)
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
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 always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet. 
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has' had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed. 
28. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger 	B. International boycotts
C. Endangered species 	D. Problems with industrialization
29. The word 'poachers' could be best replaced by which of the followings?
A. Illegal hunters 	B. Enterprising researchers. C. Concerned scientists D. Trained hunters
30. What is an act of cruelty according to the passage?
A. Having interest in material gain. B. Hunting endangered animals.
C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction. D. Causing the problem of extinction. .
31. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a way to protect animals from extinction?
A. Introduce laws to prohibit the killing of endangered animals. 
B. Establish wildlife reserves.
C. Refuse to buy animal products.
D. Raise money to invest in equipment and patrol.

LISTENING: 
1.	A: So tell me about Tokyo. What’s it like ?
	B: I love it. There are so many great things to do. I’m busy all the time.
2.	A: Do you like living here ?
	B: Well, it’s okay. One thing I do like is that there’s very little noise. People don’t 
	 walk down the street with loud radios or anything. It’s pretty nice.
3.	A: Do you like it here ?
	B: It’s okay. But it’s awfully crowded and the air is so dirty. To tell you the truth, 
	 I’m thinking about moving.
4.	A: What’s it like living in New York ?
	B: Oh, it’s really a great city, but you have to pay a fortune for eveything.
5.	A: Is Auckland a very big city ? Is it crowded ?
	B: Not really. It’s really quite small. It’s never crowded or noisy. In fact, it’s like 
	 a small town in many ways.
6	A: So what’s San Francisco like ? I hear it’s very scenic.
	B: Yes, it is . The Golden Gate Bridge is great any time of the year. The parks and 
	 the ocean are beautiful, too. It really is a very lovely city.
7.	A: What’s your hometown like ? Is it a nice place to live ?
	B: It’s great, especially for families with children. It’s pretty and quiet and it isn’t 
 dangerous at all.
8.	A: Is Osaka a big place ?
	B: Sure. That’s why I like it. Lots of people. Lots of nightclubs and discos. I don’t 
	 like small cities.
