Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
	Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is now to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem - how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable. 
	Some parts of most modern buildings - theaters and offices as well as classrooms - are more than sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called "heat recovery". A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.
	Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius.
Question 39: What is characteristic of the buildings on Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh?
  	A. they are more comfortable to live in than other buildings.
  	B. They collect body heat to regulate the temperature inside.
  	C. They use light bulbs to heat the classrooms.
  	D. They consume less fuel to keep the classrooms cool.
Question 40: According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used__________.
 	 A. to provide a special form of air-conditioning	B. to provide heat for the hot water system
  	C. to find out the source of heat 	D. to collect heat and reuse it
Question 41: The phrase "the hottest prospect" in this passage refers to__________.
  	A. the person who suffers most from heat	B. the person who needs more heat than others
  	C. the person who gives off most heat	D. the person who make better use of body heat
Question 42: Which of the following statements is NOT true according the passage?
  	A. The harder a student works, the more heat he or she produces.
  	B. The bigger a student is, the more heat he or she sends out.
  	C. A girl student sends out more heat than a boy student.
  	D. A large and hard-working boy student gives off the most heat.
Question 43: Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
  	A. Recovery of Body Heat              	B. Body Heat and Sex
  	C. Modern Building's Heat System       	D. Ways of Heating Buildings
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
On the Edge of Extinction
	In 1900, there were an estimated 100,000 tigers on Earth. Today, only between 5,000 and 7,500 remain. Total extinction of tigers by 2010 is a very real threat. 
	Why are tigers disappearing? The criminal act of poaching is the main reason. Poaching is illegal, but it is very profitable. Tiger parts are worth large amounts of money. The parts of a single tiger can be worth $5 million. In the past, the hide of the tiger was a great prize; now the prize is the tiger’s bones. The bones are used to make many traditional Asian medicines. Many of these medicines are exported from Asia, some of them to the United States. In 1950, about 4,000 South China tigers lived in the wild. By 1998, this number had dropped to less than 30 wild tigers.
	Even though the U. S. Congress passed legislation to stop the import of tiger parts, poachers continue to get around the rules. They smuggle tiger parts in with other legal products. The United States has fewer than 100 wildlife inspectors to check products coming into the country. It is not difficult to get tiger parts into the country without being caught. Even when inspectors find medicines made with tiger bones, they cannot always prove it. The high temperature needed to make the medicines makes it impossible to tell whether the bone was that of a tiger or another animal.
	You would expect most tiger products to be sold in secret in the United States. Many of them are sold openly in small medicine shops in some of the nation’s larger cities. The demand for the products is great enough to outweigh the risk of getting caught selling them.
	Some groups are working to decrease the number of tiger products sold, by helping find other options. For example, the bones of wild mole rats, a species that is abundant, have been used to make medicines. Finding alternatives to create less demand for tiger parts is one of the first steps to ending tiger poaching.
Question 44: The main idea of this article is that _________
	A. poaching tigers is illegal.	B. tiger bones are used in medicine.
	C. more needs to be done to stop the poaching of tigers.	D. poachers smuggle tiger parts into the United States.
Question 45: This passage does NOT discuss ___________
	A. where tiger medicines are sold in the United States.	B. how tiger parts are exported from Asia.
	C. alternatives to using tiger bones in medicine.	D. the number of tigers living in the wild.
Question 46: Why did the author write this passage?
	A. to show people how to smuggle tiger parts	B. to tell people where to find tiger medicines
	C. to inform people about tiger poaching	D. to tell people which tiger part to use for laziness
Question 47: In the third paragraph, what is the meaning of the word “legislation”?
	A. plans	B. ideas	C. tests	D. laws
Question 48: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
	A. poachers	B. tigers	C. inspectors	D. medicines
Question 40: According to the article, tiger products ____
	A. are sold everywhere in the United States.	B. are publicly traded in some places in the world.
	C. are illegally sold in China and other Asian countries.	D. are cheaper than those of wild mole rats
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
	A. it is not difficult to be caught by wildlife inspectors when people sell tiger parts . 
	B. it is challenging to distinguish tiger parts from another animal products.
	C. U. S. Congress had stopped the import of tiger parts into this country.
	D. U. S. wildlife inspectors are not intelligent enough to check products coming into the country
