II/ Read the text and answer the following questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D:
We know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people die.
But, let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well, I think you already know
this: People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people
kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see who kill the
most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as
the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use
shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for
food.
So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the
number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks,
and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed
some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of
sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to
protect them.
1. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. thousands
B. many
C. five to ten
D. one hundred
2. People want to kill sharks because________ ___
A. they are afraid of sharks.
B. shark meat is a popular food.
C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks
D. B and C are correct.
3. The number of sharks in the world is _____ ______
A. not getting worried by some biologists.
B. being killed.
C. getting bigger.
D getting smaller.
4. Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A. Because they want to learn more about sharks.
B. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.
C. Because they are afraid someday sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
5. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
B. Laws have been passed in sharks' defence.
C. People like to hunt sharks.
D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.
III/ Read the following passage, then fill in each blank with a suitable word:
Smoking causes lung cancer, which is the number one cancer among men. Ninety percent of the people
(1) _________ get lung cancer die. Smoking is also the leading (2) ________ of mouth cancer, tongue cancer,
and throat cancer. Many (3) __________ have heart disease and pneumonia. Smoking causes one million early
deaths in (4) _________ world every year.
Smokers not only harm themselves but also harm others. Smokers breathe smoke out into the air. They
breathe it out on their children and their wives or husbands. Children whose parents smoke have more breathing
and lung problems (5) __________ other children. Women who are married to smokers are more likely to have
lung cancer than those married to non-smokers.
We are all aware that smoking is bad. So why do people smoke?
