Also, zoos provide opportunities for important research and frequently (40) scientists to help save those animals which are becoming (41) rare in the world. Opponents, however, criticize zoos for a number of reasons. Firstly, they say that it is (42) to keep animals in cages.

Glacier national Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for the development in the region. ÔN TẬP 10 CƠ BẢN (Unit 11-12) ~ 4 With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land-use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an interlocal agreement that calls for resource-managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with the objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small-lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment. The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that Congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns. 46. The passage mainly discusses A. the endangered species in Glacier National Park B. the protection of lands surrounding Glacier National Park C. conservation laws imposed by the state of Montana D. conservation laws imposed by Congress 47. Why are the private lands surrounding Glacier National Park important? A. They function as a hunting preserve. B. They are restricted to government use. C. They are heavily populated. D. They contain natural habitats of threatened species. 48. The relationship between park officials and neighboring landowners may best be described as A. indifferent B. intimate C. cooperative D. disappointing 49. It can be inferred from the passage that a major interest of the officials of Glacier National Park is to A. limit land development around the park B. establish a new park in Montana C. influence national legislation D. settle border disputes with Canada 50. In the first line of the third paragraph, the author implies that landowners might be responding to environmental concerns for which of the following reasons? A. They wish to stimulate economic growth. B. They wish to improve their public image. C. They have a tradition of cooperating with the government. D. They fear federal legislation.

It has always been difficult for me to decide (36) "popular music" means music written for the people or is simply music that the people like. The same problem of definition exists with jazz. So (37) different types of music have been called jazz at one time or (38) that it is hard to say what it really is. Jazz has always been considered (39) black music but when I first took an interest in it, I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrong's in the 1920s. I found out (40) that they learnt to do this by playing his records over and over again until their style was (41) to his for them to imitate him. Since then white singers (42) Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own folk tradition, instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes since 1960 have been social and technical. One is that (43) have more money to spend on records at an earlier age than they used to, so Tin Pan Alley, the "pop" music industry, aims at the teenage ÔN TẬP 10 CƠ BẢN (Unit 11-12) ~ 6 audience. Another is that electronic equipment has developed (44) extent that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that are quite different from a live performance. But the real problem with "pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against (45) a genuine music of the people. It takes everything original and natural out of it and replaces it with cheap commercial imitations. As the American folk singer, Woody Guthrie, said: "They've always preferred the second-rate songs. They've never wanted to play the good ones." 36. A. when B. whether C. what D. how 37. A. much B. a lot of C. many D. plenty of 38. A. another B. others C. the other D. the others 39.
