Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered
because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory.
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory,
which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory
since 1989 anywhere.
“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to
the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told
the Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that
chance.”
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between
1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said.
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a
pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in
Asia think they are a good-luck charm like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our
job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “The other part is law enforcement. So we have
more than one strategy.”

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
WORLD POPULATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth
of the human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled,
from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today. Obviously,
this has meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and
other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average
person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much
higher than just the increase in population would imply. For example, it took the world 125
years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil. The next trillion barrels will be used in less
than 30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three.
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources,
contribute to climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned
to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming. In order to produce more
food farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields. In addition, we cut down trees
to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees are an essential part of
controlling global warming. These are just two examples of the impacts that the growing
population has on global warming; others are too numerous to mention.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher
standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even
more natural resources. A look at one country will provide a clear example of this fact.
China is the world's most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard of
living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore,
the average Chinese citizen uses far fever natural resources and less energy than the average
citizen of the US or Japan. But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are
beginning to expect a first world lifestyle. If every Chinese person attains a first world
lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if
the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today.
Question 14. The word "pace" in the passage is closest in meaning to…. .
A. growth
B. speed
C. problem
D. pollution
Question 15. The word "consumption" in the passage is closest in meaning to….
A. development
B. usage
C. population
D. increase
Question 16. According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global
warming?
A. Producing more food leads to growth in the world population.
B. Food production uses many chemicals which add to global warming.
C. Food production requires that the forests be cleared to create farmland.
D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat.
Question 17. The word “others” in the passage refers to…. .
A. problems of global warming in the modern world
B. examples of the environmental consequences of population growth
C. ways in which our usage of oil will effect the world climate
D. the reasons why trees are essential in controlling global warming
Question 18. According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global
warming?
A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment.
B. First world nations create less population than developing nations.
C. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living.
D. High standards of living lead to increases in world population.
Question19. Why does the author discuss China, Japan, and the United States?
A. To compare the standards of their citizens
B. To explain why China will not be able to become a first world nation
C. To better illustrate the effects of an increase in standards of living
D. To explain why the world's use of energy will need to double soon

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
WORLD POPULATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth
of the human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled,
from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today. Obviously,
this has meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average
person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much
higher than just the increase in population would imply. For example, it took the world 125
years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil. The next trillion barrels will be used in less
than 30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three.
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources,
contribute to climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned
to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming. In order to produce more
food farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields. In addition, we cut down trees
to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees are an essential part of
controlling global warming. These are just two examples of the impacts that the growing
population has on global warming; others are too numerous to mention.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher
standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even
more natural resources. A look at one country will provide a clear example of this fact.
China is the world's most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard of
living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore,
the average Chinese citizen uses far fever natural resources and less energy than the average
citizen of the US or Japan. But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are
beginning to expect a first world lifestyle. If every Chinese person attains a first world
lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if
the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today.
