Read the following passage and choose the best answer: 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. 41. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year ? a. one hundred b. many c. five to ten d. thousands 42.

Because shark fins can be used in medicine. 45. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage ? a. People like to hunt sharks. b. Laws have been passed in sharks’ defense. c. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks. d. People are killing many sharks for some reasons. V. Choose the correct sentence which has the same meaning as the above one : 46.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer: A/ On arriving in London I found another explanation in a guidebook. The author of this book said that the Pope and Napoleon were responsible. Some years before the reign of Bonaparte, the pope came to visit Paris. Up to then there had been no rule about the movement of traffic. The authorities, however, decreed that the Parisians should ride or drive on the right-hand side of the street, leaving the left-hand side clear for the movement of the papal carriage. Thus a custom was born and, when Bonaparte came along he made it the law of the land. Moreover, as he conquered country after country, the right-hand rule was put in force in those lands until it became the general things throughout continental Europe. The British, however, hating Napoleon, reversed the custom out of sheer perversity. Now I had two conflicting theories and I told them to Nat Gubbins and he said they were both wrong. He said that Mr. Forester was correct in one detail - the custom really dated back to horseback riding. It came into being because men on horseback had a practice of running each other through with swords and since the right hand was usually the sword hand, Englishmen got into the habit of riding on the left-hand side of the road, the better to slash and thrust. Logical. 1.Who was responsible for the left-hand rule? a. The author of this book b. Nat Gutbbins and Mr Forester c. Bonaparte d. Both the Pope and Napoleon 2.Why did the Parisians have to ride or drive on the right-hand side of the street? a. because they liked it b. because of their sheer perversity . c. because the left-hand side was reserved for the movement of the papal carriage d. because there were no rules about the movement of traffic 3.The British reversed the custom because____. a. they disliked Napoleon b. they hated driving on the right 7 c. the right-hand rule was put in force d. Napoleon conquered country after country 4. Mr Forester was correct in one detail. What was it? a. sheer perversity b. the movement of the papal carriage c. horseback riding d. Napoleon’s conquest of Europe B/ (1) ____ do people drive on the left in Britain and on the right in the other countries? The reason for this goes (2) ____ to the days when people traveled on horseback. Most people are (3) ____, and thus the left is the natural side to ride on if you are on horseback and need your right hand to hold a sword (4) ____ of trouble. So why didn’t the rest of the world (5) ____the same? Because of Napoleon Bonaparte .He insisted that his armies marched on the right, and as he marched through Europe, he imposed this rule (6) ____ he went.The question suggested that only the British drive on the left, but in fact, out of 178 countries in the world there are (7) ____ 50 that drive on the left, including Japan. However, most of them are (8) ____ British colonies. 1.a. What b. When c. Why d.

There is only one place in the whole of England where it is legal to drive on the right (barring one-way streets) and that is the passage and court at the Strand entrance to the Savoy Hotel. Before leaving New York I put the question to Mr. C.S Forester. He said the custom was grounded in good sense and dated back to the period when many Londoners travelled to and fro on horseback. A horse, said Mr Forester, is always mounted from the left side. It was a matter of convenience, then, that a man coming out of a shop or house or tavern would have his horse aimed toward the left, otherwise he’d have to walk into the mud and slop of the street to mount, and from this practice came the custom of bearing to the left in traffic. Sensible. Mr. Forester added that my forefathers, the founders of the American nation, reversed the custom after the revolution out of sheer perversity. 1. The writer has been investigating ____. a. the reason for the left-hand rule in traffic b. why the English drive on the right c. where it is legal to drive on the right d. the Savoy Hotel 2. The custom of driving on the left came _____. a. before they travelled to and fro on horseback. b. after the writer left New York c. because they often went to and fro on horseback d. they liked going on the left 3.
