Read the passage and choose the best answer (A or B, C, D) from 17 to 21.
All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human progress. As
the world's population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution, and use more
natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete with humans. An
excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle.
At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth. It is also
one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of leatherbacks because they
spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult to count. But female leatherbacks come
on land to lay their eggs. From the number of nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of
turtles. The numbers do not show a good future for the leatherback. At one beach, scientists counted
over 10,000 egg nests in 1954. In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach. Scientists think
that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago. Human
development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this.
Humans affect leatherbacks in many ways. Many of the beaches leatherbacks used to lay their eggs
at are now covered with hotels and resorts, so there are few places for the turtles to make their nests. In
addition, in many parts of the world, people eat the turtle eggs. At one beach in Mexico, almost 100%
of all the leatherback nests were dug up and the eggs eaten by humans. The turtles also get caught in
fishing nets and die. In the 1950s, there were 5,000 fishing boats in the Gulf of Mexico, a common
spot for leatherbacks. Now there are over 55,000 fishing boats in the same area. If the situation does
not change soon, the leatherback may disappear forever.

Read the passage and choose the best answer (A or B, C, D) from 5 to 9.
All around the world, there are many endangered animals, largely because of human progress. As
the world's population grows, humans move into new areas, create more pollution, and use more
natural resources. This all puts pressure on animals, which cannot really compete with humans. An
excellent example of this would be the case of the leatherback sea turtle.
At 6.5 meters long, and up to 600 kilograms, the leatherback is the largest turtle on Earth. It is also
one of the most endangered. Scientists do not know the exact number of leatherbacks because they
spend their entire lives at sea. This makes them very difficult to count. But female leatherbacks come
on land to lay their eggs. From the number of nests that scientists find, they can estimate the number of
turtles. The numbers do not show a good future for the leatherback. At one beach, scientists counted
over 10,000 egg nests in 1954. In 1993, there were only 50 nests at the same beach. Scientists think
that the leatherback population is perhaps only 1% of what it was just 50 years ago. Human
development over the last 50 years is undoubtedly the reason for this.
Humans affect leatherbacks in many ways. Many of the beaches leatherbacks used to lay their eggs
at are now covered with hotels and resorts, so there are few places for the turtles to make their nests. In
addition, in many parts of the world, people eat the turtle eggs. At one beach in Mexico, almost 100%
of all the leatherback nests were dug up and the eggs eaten by humans. The turtles also get caught in
fishing nets and die. In the 1950s, there were 5,000 fishing boats in the Gulf of Mexico, a common
spot for leatherbacks. Now there are over 55,000 fishing boats in the same area. If the situation does
not change soon, the leatherback may disappear forever.
Question 5: As used in the passage, the term endangered animals can best be explained as __________. A. a kind of turtle
B. animals caught in fishing nets
C. animals in areas where humans live
D. animals with very low numbers
Question 6: According to paragraph 1, humans pressure animals in all of the following ways EXCEPT _______.
A. by adding to pollution
B. by using natural resources
C. by moving into new areas
D. by killing the animals
Question 7: According to paragraph 2, why is it difficult to count the numbers of leatherback turtles?
A. They live most of their lives in the sea.
B. Their nests are hard to find.
C. They are scared of humans.
D. They swim very fast.
Question 8: According to the passage, how do hotels and resorts hurt leatherback turtles?
A. They bring more people to the beaches to see the animal.
B. People at the hotels go fishing and eat the turtle eggs.
C. They occupy the beaches where the turtles lay their eggs.
D. They pollute the beaches and kill the leatherbacks.
Question 9: The author mentions fishing boats in order to______.
A. suggest that the Gulf of Mexico is a good place to catch leatherback turtles
B. suggest a connection between the rise in fishing and the fall in leatherback turtles
C. explain why there are no leatherback turtles in the Gulf of Mexico
