Read the passage carefully, and then choose the correct answer from 26 to 29:
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.”
Câu 26: Hunters poach tigers for their ___________.
A. ivory B. jewelry C. carving D. pelts

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
he 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 he bigger 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 or food or for sport. So even though
some people like to hunt sharks, we do need t protect them.
1. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
a. one hundred b. many c. five to ten d. thousands
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. getting worried by some biologists. b. being killed c. getting bigger d. getting smaller.
4. Why do billowing wants to protect sharks?
a. Because they want to learn more about sharks. c. Because of the number of sharks that were killed
b. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist. d. Because sharks fins can be used in medicine.
5. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
a. People like to hunt sharks. c. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
b. Laws have been passed in sharks’ defence. d. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.
