answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
A few months ago a group of scientists warned about the rise of “extinction denial,” an effort
much like climate denial to mischaracterize the extinction crisis and suggest that human
activity isn’t really having a damaging effect on ecosystems and the whole planet.That
damaging effect is, in reality, impossible to deny.
This past year scientists and conservation organizations declared that a long list of species
may have gone extinct, including dozens of frogs, orchids and fish. Most of these species
haven’t been seen in decades, despite frequent and regular expeditions to find out if they still
exist. The causes of these extinctions range from diseases to invasive species to habitat loss,
but most boil down to human behavior.
 One of the first papers of 2020 to report any extinctions announced the probable loss of 17
percent of Bangladesh’s 187 known orchid species. Some of these still exist in other countries,
but even regional extinctions (or extirpations, as they’re called) tell us that we’ve taken a toll
on our ecological habitats. A similar paper published just days later suggested that nine more
orchid species from Madagascar may have also gone extinct.
One of the few extinctions of 2020 that received much media attention, and it’s easy to see
why. Handfish are an unusual group of species whose front fins look somewhat like human
appendages, which they use to walk around the ocean floor. The smooth species, which hasn’t
been seen since 1802, lived off the coast of Tasmania and was probably common when it was
first collected by naturalists. Bottom fishing, pollution, habitat destruction, bycatch and other
threats are all listed as among the probable reasons for its extinction. Even though the local
fishery collapsed more than 50 years ago, the remaining handfish species are still critically
endangered, so this extinction should serve as an important wake-up call to save them.
Question 31: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A.Human activities are not the primary cause of species extinction.
B.Myriad flora and fauna speciesmay have become extinction recently.
C.The negative effects of extinction crisis are increasing.
D.Plants are more vulnerable than animals.
Question 32: The word”they” in paragraph 2 refers to______.
A. expeditions B.decades C.species D.scientists
Question 33: Which of the following is TRUE?
A. It’s likely to find the extinct orchid species beyond the borders of Bangladesh.
B. Deforestation may cause some diseases to kill the invasive species.
C. The price for our modern society is the increasing loss in ecological habitats
D. Bottom fishing and accidental entrapment only affect big marine species.
Question 34: According to the last paragraph, handfish______.
A.are raised for recreaction B.resemble human’s ancestor
C.are threatned by naturalists D.live on the seabed
Question 35: The word “collapsed” in paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to_______.
A. closed down B.gave up C.put off D.took over
Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D to indicate the correct correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
When I was a teenager playing Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, I definitely wasn't looking to
learn things. But with 11 main AC games all set during different times and places in history —
like ancient Egypt, Greece, and America during the Revolutionary War — I was bound to learn
something, even if just by accident. And I definitely did.
One day, my history teacher passed out blank maps of the Caribbean. Surprise: It was a quiz
I had forgotten about. We had to label countries and major cities. Luckily, I'd been playing a lot
of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early
18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to fill in the map, and I got an A.
When I was seven, I learned to multiply quickly through a purely educational game and
collect treasure in a never-ending loop. And then, of course, there was Assassin’s Creed.
Ubisoft learned into AC’s educational potential, with very cool results. They did a lot of
research to recreate Ancient Egypt in AC: Origins and Ancient Greece in AC: Odyssey, and they
released an educational discovery tour for each game that lets you look around the
environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints. You can learn about the Olympic
Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece, with real historical figures acting
as your tour guides. Or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies and climb on the
pyramids.
 Obviously, Assassin’s Creed can’t teach you everything you need to know about the ancient
world-but the games do make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to learn, like
I was.
If you’re looking for some other options, Minecraft is icredibly popular with kids of any age.
Minecraft: Education Edition is free for everybody with a student email until at least June 30,
and features over 500 pre-made lesson plans for things like codin, history, English, and much
