Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
Oxford University scientists have launched an attempt to bring the Northern White Rhinoceros
back from beyond the “point of no return” using IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). The team believes a
pioneering treatment can prompt a revival of the persecuted species, despite the death last year of the last
known male and the fact that the two remaining females, Najin and Fatu, cannot have calves.
One of two subspecies of White Rhinoceros, the Northern Rhinoceros once ranged over tracts of
Uganda, Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. However, the value of
its horns saw it poached from a population of approximately 500 to 15 in the 1970s and 1980s. A small
recovery – numbers reached 32 – from the early 1990s was then reversed from 2003 when illegal hunting
intensified again.
The Oxford researchers believe that it will be possible to remove ovarian tissue from the animals
and stimulate it to produce eggs, which would then be fertilised from sperm preserved from male
Northern White Rhinoceros. The embryos would then be implanted into a surrogate mother of a similar
species, probably a Southern White Rhinoceros. The technique has been used successfully in mice for
nearly two decades; it has also been accomplished for some species of dog, horse and cat. However, it has
never been attempted before on a rhinoceros, meaning the Oxford team plan to perfect it first by
conducting a series of trials on ovarian tissue taken from a Southern White Rhinoceros.
In principal, the benefit of removing ovarian tissue for use in the lab is that it can go on producing
eggs. Other researchers are exploring the possibility of using the remaining Northern White Rhinoceros
sperm to cross–breed with Southern White Rhinoceros, however, Dr Williams believes the focus should
be on preserving the identity of the northern species. “This will be a huge buffer against disease and ill
health in the long–term, and give the new herds better genetic ability to adapt to changing environments
in the future.”
Najin was born in captivity in 1989 and Fatu in 2000. They both belong to the Cvur Kralove Zoo
in the Czech Republic, which shipped them to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya in 2009 amid tight
security. In place of their horns, keepers have fitted radio transmitters to allow close monitoring of their
whereabouts in the large paddock areas. The team has enough funding for three years’ research, donated
from Foundation Hoffman, however Oxford University has launched a public appeal to raise the money
to secure the project long term.
Question 33: Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
 A. Oxford University in an Attempt to Protect an Endangered Species.
B. Oxford University Pondering Changes to Fertilizing Techniques.
C. Oxford University Holding a Public Appealto Raise the Animal Protection Fund.
D. Oxford University to Launching a Campaign to Raise Public Awareness of Rhinoceros.
Question 34: According to paragraph 2, the number of Northern Rhinoceros ______.
A. has been dramatically dropped since 2003, after a long time of continuous development
B. decreased from approximately 500 to 32 in the 1970s and 1980s because of poaching
C. was relatively small in Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo
D. has been descended as a result of illegal hunting since people began to value its horns
Question 35: The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to ?
A. Southern White Rhinoceros B. subspecies
C. White Rhinoceros D. Nothern White Rhinoceros
Question 36: The word “intensified” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. discouraged B. introduced C. increased D. eliminated
Question 37: According to the passage, Najin and Fatu are mentioned about all of the following
EXCEPT .
A. their origin B. their habitat C. their gender D. their strength
Question 38: The word “surrogate” in paragraph 3 mostly means ________.

Question 39: It can be indicated from paragraph 4 that .
A. Hybrid Rhinoceros are unable to adapt to the future environment better than their ancestors
B. Dr William wants to promote cross–breeding Southern and Northern Rhinoceros
C. Cross–breeding always makes animals lose their natural ability to adapt the environment
D. Preserving the identity of the northern species is the priority in this period of time
Question 40: Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Researchers can find out the position of Najin and Fatu if they want.
B. Najin and Fatu are the last known female rhinos which can have calves naturally.
C. The technique that Oxford University scientists use to breed rhinos has never been successful before.
D. Oxford University can afford a three year project without being sponsored by any foundation.

IV. Read the passage carefully and decide whether the statement are (T), false (F) or not
given(NG).
We live in a dynamic world, and habitats are always undergoing changes at all sorts of levels.
However, natural changes usually occur at a slow pace so that impacts on individual species tend to be
slight - at least in the short term. When the pace of change is greatly accelerated, there may be no time for
some species to react to new circumstances, and the effects can be disastrous. Briefly, this is the reason
that rapid habitat loss is regarded as the chief cause of species endangerment, and there is no force more
powerful in this regard than human beings. To some extent, every part of the earth has been affected by
human activities, especially during this past century. This applies on virtually every scale, from the loss of
microbes in soils that once supported tropical forests, to the extinction of fish and other aquatic species in
polluted freshwater habitats, to changes in global climate caused by the release of greenhouse gases.
From the perspective of an individual human lifetime, such changes may be hard to detect and their
effects on individual species may be hard to predict. But the lesson is clear enough. For example,
although many countries have had plans to grow many tropical forests, they are highly susceptible to
destruction because the soils in which they grow are poor in available nutrients. Centuries may be
required to bring back a forest that was cut down or burnt out in the space of a few years. Many of the
world's severely threatened animals and plants live in such forests, and it is certain that huge numbers of
them will disappear if present rates of forest loss continue.

Statements Answers
1. Habitats in the world are unchangeable and fixedly exist.
2. All species can adapt themselves to new circumstances easily and quickly.
3. Human beings are the main cause that leads to rapid habitat loss.
4. Many kinds of fish are also in danger of extinction because water habitats are polluted.
5. Many countries have grown as many tropical forests as they destroyed in the past years.

V. Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word. Write your answer in the numbered space

headings below. Write your answers in the boxes provided.

Persistent bullying is one of the worst experiences a child can face

How can it be prevented? Peter Smith, Professor of Psychology at the University of Sheffield,
directed the Sheffield Anti-Bullying Intervention Project, funded by the Department for Education
Here he reports for his findings.
___1___
Bullying can take a variety of forms, from the verbal - being taunted or called hurtful names -to
the physical - being kicked or shoved - as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded from social
groups. A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British Primary schools up to a quarter of
pupils reported experience of bullying, which in about one in ten cases was persistent. There was less
bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases
may be particularly recalcitrant.
___2___
Bullying is clearly unpleasant and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and
depressed. Victimized pupils are more likely to experience difficulties with interpersonal relationships as
adults, while children who persistently bully are more likely to grow up to be physically violent and
convicted of anti-social offences.
___3___
Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little help was available to teachers to
deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. “There is no
bullying at this school” has been a common refrain, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately, more schools are
now saying: “There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with
it”.
___4___
Three factors are involved in this change. First is an awareness of the severity of the problem.
Second, a number of resources to help tackle bullying have become available in Britain. For example, the
Scottish Council for Research in Education produced a package of materials, Action Against Bullying,
circulated to all schools in England and Wales as well as in Scotland in summer 1992. Third, there is
evidence that these materials work, and those schools can achieve something. This comes from carefully
conducted “before and after” evaluations of interventions in schools, monitored by a research team. The
Sheffield investigation found that most schools succeeded in reducing bullying.
___5___
Evidence suggests that a key step is to develop a policy on bullying, saying clearly what is meant
by bullying, and giving explicit guidelines on what will be done if it occurs, what records will be kept,
who will be informed, what sanctions will be employed. The policy should be developed through
consultation, over a period time - not just imposed from the head teacher’s office! Pupils, parents and
staff should feel they have been involved in the policy, which needs to be disseminated and implemented
effectively.
There are also ways of working with individual pupils, or in small groups. Assertiveness training for
pupils who are liable to be victims is worthwhile, and certain approaches to group bullying such as “no
blame”, can be useful in changing the behavior of bullying pupils without confronting them directly,
although other sanctions may be needed for those who continue with persistent bullying.
