 VI- READING COMPREHENSION: (1.25pts)
 Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about each passage. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
 In today's world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction, and the number of species at risk increases every year. Not all plants or animals existing in small numbers are endangered as their population may not be decreasing or threatened. An endangered species is one which is expected to die out within twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it. Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans, rhinoceroses, snow leopards, tigers, and some species of crocodile. Endangered plants include some species of cactus.
 Why are the above species of animal endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all species protected are by law. Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur, tusks and horn continues. Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets. For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for private bird collectors that it is almost extinct in the wild. In addition to this, many species' habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce domestic and non-native animals which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and mammals which are already at risk of extinction.
 Why is it important to save endangered species? Firstly, nature is delicately balanced, and the extinction of one species may have a serious effect on others. Secondly, it is the fault of mankind that so many species are endangered, so it is our responsibility to protect those species while we still can. We must stop the hunting of wild animals and the destruction of the forests before it is too late. It is worth making an effort - by saving endangered species we could be saving ourselves.
30. According to the passage, __________
A. more and more species become endangered each year.
B. all plants and animals are expected to die out in 20 years if we don't take measures protect them.
C. blue whales have become extinct. 
D. only animal species are seriously threatened with extinction.
31. According to the author, all the species mentioned are in danger because ______
A. they are not protected by laws.
B. they are not kept in wildlife reserves.
C. illegal hunting has been eliminated.
D. laws on hunting and wildlife conservation are not strictly obeyed.
32. The author uses the blue macaw as an example of __________
A. a species that has completely died out.
B. a species of birds killed by hunters.
C. birds captured for the pet trade.
D. birds captured for zoos.
33. According to the author introducing domestic, non-native animals ________
A. is not associated with endangered species.
B. may threaten the habitats of some species.
C. is only dangerous in tropical forests.
D. is the only reason why some species habitats are destroyed.
34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that endangered species _______
A. will definitely die out soon.
B. cannot be saved because we need to save ourselves.
C. play an important part in the natural world.
D. have a bad effect on other species.

 Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement (or best answers the question) about each passage. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
 There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls").
 Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10 x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a -leather soccer ball. If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck.
 Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water. "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

A. the origins of water polo are written thoroughly in a lot of documents
B. water polo is an aquatic version of rugby
C. water polo first appeared somewhere outside England
D. people have played water polo since the early 19" century.

A. by Scottish players 	B. by Indian players
C. the London Swimming Association 	D. in 1870
32. In water polo, the players score a goal by ________.
A. swimming B. passing C. catching D. throwing
33. The present water polo ball is made of ________.
A. rubber B. leather C. bone D. wood
