Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 29 to 33.

Wolves were the original ancestors of dogs. You might mistake a wolf for a dog, but they're much larger. On top of that, they're pretty scary. Some wolves evolved into different species at some point. The smaller and kinder ones were among them. The first dogs were these kinder wolves. When or why this occurred is a mystery. It may have occurred organically more than 50,000 years ago, according to some. Still others place the human handiwork of 15,000 to 50,000 years ago.

Regardless of their origin, the practicality of dogs was immediately recognized. Human geneticists and paleontologists agree that dogs and humans first crossed paths in the Middle East some 13,000 years ago. It wasn't long before dogs made their way to North America from Asia, Africa, and Europe. Hunting and traveling were likely the primary uses of these dogs. In addition, They were also good companions.

The ancient Egyptians valued dogs highly. Not only did the Egyptians rely on dogs for hunting, but they also used them as guards and fighters. To them, a dog represented the deity responsible for protecting hell. Dogs were also given names by the ancient Egyptians. Names like "Brave One," "Reliable," "North-wind," "Blacky," and "Useless" were common.The ancient Romans also used dogs as a weapon. Dogs were utilized by the Roman army across Europe. The dogs served as messengers at times and as attack dogs at others.

These days, you can find dogs of all shapes and sizes. What gives them their wolf heritage? Various theories have been put forward. Canidae is a family of dogs, but some scientists think that dogs actually have ancestry from other animals. The jackals, coyotes, and foxes fall into this category. The majority of scientists also think that the variation was shaped by natural selection and evolution. In subsequent epochs, dog breeders sought out dogs that people liked and crossed them to create new varieties. This is how people are still facilitating the emergence of new breeds in the modern era!

Question 29: Which of the following best states the main idea of the reading?

A. No one knows for sure where dogs first appeared with humans.

B. There are two theories about the evolution of dogs.

C. Evolution and breeding have made dogs what they are today.

Question 30: The word “them” in the first paragraph refers to______.

 A. people                               B. years                             C. dogs     D. wolves

Question 31: According to some scientists, when did the first tame dogs appear with humans?

 A. About 15,000 years ago                                              B. Between 15,000 and 50,000 years ago

C. Over 50.000 years ago                                                 D. About 13,000 years ago

Question 32: The word “companions” in paragraph 2 is closet in meaning to_____.

A. messengers                        B. traveling friends            C. co-workers      D. hunting animals

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.

Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which co-exist in their environments, forming complex, interrelated communities. Living organisms depend on one another for nutrients, shelter, and other benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain reaction that affects many other species, particularly if the loss occurs near the bottom of the food chain. For example, the extinction of a particular insect or plant might seem inconsequential. However, there may be fish or small animals that depend on that resource for foodstuffs. The loss can threaten the survival of these creatures and larger predators that prey upon them. Extinction can have a ripple effect that spreads throughout nature.

In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans, the only species capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all other life forms, particularly plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible with the survival of some other species. Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals that prey on people, livestock, crops, or pose any threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals have been decimated by human desire for meat, hides, fur, or other body parts with commercial value. Likewise, demand for land, water, and other natural resources has left many wild plants and animals with little to no suitable habitat. Humans have also affected nature by introducing non-native species to local areas and producing pollutants having a negative impact on the environment. The combination of these human-related effects and natural obstacles such as disease or low birthrates has proven to be too much for some species to overcome. They have no chance of survival without human help.

As a result, societies have difficult choices to make about the amount of effort and money they are willing to spend to save imperiled species. Will people accept limits on their property rights, recreational activities, and means of livelihood to save a plant or an animal? Should saving such popular species as whales and dolphins take priority over saving obscure, annoying, or fearful species? Is it the responsibility of humans to save every kind of life form from disappearing, or is extinction an inevitable part of nature, in which the strong survive and the weak perish? These are some difficult questions that people face as they ponder the fate of other species living on this planet.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

What do you think of when you read the word ‘robot’? Many people think about big machines in car factories or futuristic monsters in films. Few of us think about the past. But people were building incredible machines with human abilities hundreds of years ago!

            For example, Egyptian texts from 1100 BC mention moving statues which ‘chose’ the next king. None of these statues exists, but probably they were built using the ancient Egyptians’ mechanical technology. Another ancient Greek inventor, Philon of Byzantium, built a female robot. If someone placed a cup in her hand, it mixed water and wine to make a drink. However, the robot wasn’t popular because people didn’t need robots to work. They had lots of slaves.

            After that, more and more mechanical robots were built. They did more and more difficult tasks, such as playing the flute, writing and drawing a picture. Although modern technology has moved on, these historical robots still amaze people today.
