Verbal Ability Test (40 Questions in 35 minutes)

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basisof the information provided in the passage

A snow leopard roars in the high mountains of Asia. A black rhinoceros gallops across the plainsof Africa. A grizzly bear hunts for fish in a North American river. A mother blue whale and her calf glide through the deep waters of the ocean. All of these animals share the Earth with us.They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace, and their speed. We love observing their

behavior, and learning more about their habits. But just loving them is not enough. All of theseanimals are endangered. Many of them have died, and without special care, they may somedaydisappear from the Earth. Why is it important to care for animals like these? One reason is to

protect the balance of life on Earth. Another reason is the beauty of the animals themselves. Eachspecies of animal is special. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. Africa was once filled with an



abundance of wild animals. But that is changing fast. One of these animals, the black rhinoceros,lives on the plains of Africa. It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper! Even though the

black rhino is powerful, and can be dangerous, its strength can¶t always help it to escape hunters.Some people think that the rhino¶s horn has magical powers, and many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns. This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list.

The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once had no naturalenemies, but is now endangered killed for its ivory tusks. The fastest land animal, the cheetah,also lives in Africa. It, too, is becoming extinct as people take over more and more of the landthat is the cheetah's natural habitat. Imagine Africa without the powerful rhino, the gentle,intelligent elephant, or the lightning quick cheetah. Once they are gone, they are gone forever.Wherever people are careless about the land, there are endangered species. Grizzly bears like towander great distances. Each bear needs up to 1,500 square miles of territory to call itshomeland. Today, because forests have been cleared to make room for people, the grizzly¶shabitat is shrinking and the grizzly is disappearing. It joins other endangered North Americananimals, such as the red wolf and the American crocodile. In South America, destruction of therain forest threatens many animals. Unusual mammals, such as the howler monkey and the three-

toed sloth, are endangered. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw and the golden parakeetare also becoming extinct. They¶re losing their homes in the rain forest, and thousands die whenthey are caught and shipped off to be sold as exotic pets. The giant panda of Asia is a fascinatingand unique animal. Yet there are only about 1,000 still living in the wild. The giant panda¶s dietconsists mainly of the bamboo plant, so when the bamboo forests die, so does the panda. China isnow making an effort to protect these special creatures from becoming extinct. Asia¶s big catsare also in trouble. The exotic snow leopard lives high in the mountains. Even there, it faces theloss of its natural habitat, and hunters who kill it for its fur. The tiger, the largest of all the bigcats, is hunted merely for sport. Ocean-dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well. The

blue whale is the largest animal in the world. It weighs up to 390,000 pounds. Whale hunting and pollution are this species¶ greatest enemies. Unfortunately, it is people who cause many of the problems that animals face. We alter and pollute their habitats. We hunt them for skins, tusks,furs, and horns. We destroy animals that get in the way of farming or building. And we removethem from their natural habitats and take them home as pets. What can you do to helpendangered animals? Learn as much as you can about them. The more you know, the more youcan help. Make an effort to support zoos and wildlife groups. Many zoos breed endangeredanimals, helping to ensure that they will continue to live on. Contribute to groups, such as the

National Wildlife Federation and the Sierra Club, that work hard to protect animals. You canalso be a smart shopper and never buy a pet that has been raised in the wilderness. The world ismade up of many living things, and each thing is dependent on the others to survive. If we alloweven one species on Earth to become extinct, it has an impact on other living things and changesour world. When we mention any endangered wild animals, let¶s hope that we never again haveto say, "Gone forever."

1. Which of the following is NOT an opinion?A) It is important for us to take care of endangered animals.B) The black rhinoceros is the most frightening animal in Africa.C) The fastest land animal, the cheetah, also lives in Africa.D) If we don¶t protect endangered animals now, we will regret it in the future.Ans: B

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basisof the information provided in the passage.



Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the groundbreaking,long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the LondonZoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane¶s life would take. To this day, Jubilee sits in a chair

in Jane¶s London home. From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories.By the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At thetime, in the early 1940s, this was a radical idea because women did not go to Africa bythemselves. As a young woman, Jane finished school in London, attended secretarial school, andthen worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visitKenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23years old. Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist andanthropologist. He was impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, andhired her to assist him and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge. Dr. Leakeysoon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for sometime. She expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them,

rather than studying dead animals through paleontology. Dr. Leakey and Jane began planning astudy of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kenya. Atfirst, the British authorities would not approve their plan. At the time, they thought it was toodangerous for a woman to live in the wilds of Africa alone. But Jane¶s mother, Vanne, agreed to

join her so that she would not be alone. Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance sheneeded in order to go to Africa and begin her study. In July of 1960, Jane and her mother arrivedat Gombe National Park in what was then called Tanganyika and is now called Tanzania. Janefaced many challenges as she began her work. The chimpanzees did not accept her right away,and it took months for them to get used to her presence in their territory. But she was very patientand remained focused on her goal. Little by little, she was able to enter their world. At first, shewas able to watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance, using binoculars. As time passed,she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still using camouflage.Eventually, she was able to sit among them, touching, patting, and even feeding them. It was anamazing accomplishment for Jane, and a breakthrough in the study of animals in the wild. Janenamed all of the chimpanzees that she studied, stating in her journals that she felt they each had aunique personality. One of the first significant observations that Jane made during the study wasthat chimpanzees make and use tools, much like humans do, to help them get food. It was

previously thought that humans alone used tools. Also thanks to Jane¶s research, we now knowthat chimps eat meat as well as plants and fruits. In many ways, she has helped us to see howchimpanzees and humans are similar. In doing so, she has made us more sympathetic towardthese creatures, while helping us to better understand ourselves. The study started by JaneGoodall in 1960 is now the longest field study of any animal species in their natural habitat.Research continues to this day in Gombe and is conducted by a team of trained Tanzanians.Jane¶s life has included much more than just her study of the chimps in Tanzania. She pursued agraduate degree while still conducting her study, receiving her Ph.D. from Cambridge Universityin 1965. In 1984, she received the J. Paul Getty Wildlife Conservation Prize for "helpingmillions of people understand the importance of wildlife conservation to life on this planet." Shehas been married twice: first to a photographer and then to the director of National Parks. Shehas one son. Dr. Jane Goodall is now the world¶s most renowned authority on chimpanzees,having studied their behavior for nearly 40 years. She has published many scientific articles, has

Listening to such men one would think that this world is one of thestormiest and most disagreeable places.
