Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the
jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been
caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in
material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing
to the problem of extinction. Animals, such as Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are
valuable parts of the world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted
to ensure their survival and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some
countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal
reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and
they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest
in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal
extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some
effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

B. international boycotts C. the Bengal tiger

Question 34. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ________.
A. help defray the costs of maintaining the parks
B. ensure their survival and the survival of our planet
C. cause the problem of extinction
D. depend on world organizations for support
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to protect animals from extinction?
