Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea animals. Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts. A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets. In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction. Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environments. It is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment. Question 36: With which of the following topics is this passage primarily concerned? A. Sharks are some of the oldest creatures on earth. B. The campaign to save dolphins was not extended to save sharks. C. Sharks illustrate a problem in wildlife protection. D. Sharks are efficient creatures with bad reputations. Question 37: In the second paragraph, the word "generated" could be best replaced by ___. A. absorbed B. consumed C. produced D. designated Question 38: About how long have sharks lived on the planet? A. 150 million years B. 25 million years C. 350 million years D. 500 million years Question 39: The author uses the phrase "weeding out" in line 15 to mean ___. A. encouraging something that is efficient B. strengthening something that is weak C. feeding something that is hungry D. getting rid of something that is unwanted Question 40: The phrase "managed to live" in line 16 is used to infer that ___. A. procreation was expanding B. migration was common C. roaming was necessary D. surviving was difficult Question 41: The word "proof" in line 17 could be best replaced by which of the following? A. evidence B. characteristic C. customary D. praise Question 42: The phrase "to cast away" in line 19 means most nearly ___. A. to bring in B. to see through C. to set apart D. to throw off Question 43: What is the author's tone in this passage? A. proud B. accusatory C. explanatory D. gentle Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 3
4. Google Books: Cataloging the World’s Library The digital age has brought us several conveniences which seemed unimaginable just a few decades ago. In particular, it has changed the way in which we consume and store information. Before the Internet, people would need large rooms with bookshelves if they wanted to maintain a large book collection. However, thanks to e-books and services like Google Books, readers have access to millions of books with a few clicks of their mice. Google Books is a service provided by Google that catalogs books by scanning them and making them searchable online. The project kicked off in 2004 with the ambitious goal of creating the largest body of human knowledge ever and making it available online. To date, Google Books has scanned over 30 million books into its catalog. By the end of the decade, its goal is to cover every book that is currently available. Using Google Books is quite convenient, as it is integrated into Google’s search engine. When searching for a book that Google Books has in its catalog, users can access some contents of the books depending on its copyright status. If a work is considered to be in the public domain, as many old books are, they can read the entire thing. However, if a book is still under copyright, the searcher will often be able to preview a few pages. In some cases, when a author has not given permission to display their work , only a few random lines of text from the book will be displayed. Although most book lovers and researchers are thrilled that Google has scanned so many books, several publishers are upset by the company’s actions. They believe that Google Books is hurting their business. In 2005, a group of publishers joined together to sue Google claiming massive copyright violations. In response, Google claimed that its procedures were in line with the concept of fair use, which specifies that it is legal to display parts of copyrighted works if it is for educational purposes. Furthermore, Google compared its profect to a modern –day online equivalent to libraries’ card catalog system. In November 2013, the case went to trial and a judge ruled in favour of Google. Although the publishers have announced that they will appeal the verdict, the decision is a good indicator that Google is inching closer to becoming the main caretaker of the world’s library of books. Question 44: What is the goal of Google Books? A. To put every book available online B. To encourage people to read more often C. To print millions of textbooks for free D. To help publishers earn more money. Question 45: What will users see if an author does NOT give Google Books permission? A. They can view the entire B. They will only see a few sentences. C. They can only read once or two chapters D. They will not see anything at all. Question 46: What could replace the word “preview” in paragraph 3? A. purchase B. protect C. sample D. destroy Question 47: The word “it” in he last paragraph refer to___ A. copyright B. selling C. copying D. display Question 48: What does the author suggest about the court case? A. The final decision was not fair B. It was a great victory for the publishers. C. Google Books may go out of business after that D. It may not solve the issue completely. Question 49: Why are publishers upset with Google Books? A.They think Google is ruining their books. B. The author’s names are listed on books. C. Most publishers are against e –book sales. D. They feel that Google is costing them money. Question 50: What does Google compare Google Books to? A. A library that sells the best novels. B. A service that helps people find books. C. A bookshop that improves the quality of books. D. A teacher who explains why stories are important. ___The end___ 4
