 Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct
or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for example, which 'once roamed the jungles in vast
numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but
in personal satisfaction. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the
world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and
the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in
an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then
charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend
on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect
the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products
made from endangered species. This has' had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from
being hunted and killed.

A. International boycotts B. The Bengal tiger

 Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Along with the rapid growth of the national economy and increased living standards, the use of
disposables and over-packaged products has become common, which causes a waste of resources, and
brings about a negative impact on the environment. Many countries have started to act to control the use of
disposables and over-packaged, products.
In 1994, the Ministry of Environment in Korea has put restrictions on packaging methods. Korea's
legal regulations require businesses to restrict their use of disposable products by reducing unnecessary
packaging materials or not giving them out to customers for free. The use of materials are difficult to
recycle is also prohibited.
Thanks to development of technology, biodegradable materials were invented to produce packaging
products. They are able to decay naturally by bacteria. Therefore, biodegradable packaging helps to limit the
amount of harmful chemicals released into the environment. In 2008, biodegradable bags were put in use in
most of the supermarkets in Korea. Paper cups and paper bags are also given to shoppers for free, but in a
limited use.
The ministry also established the detailed Guidelines on the Restrictions of Use of Disposable
Products in order to ensure that local governments could conduct systematic checks and inspections of
businesses, and implemented reductions on over-packaged products during national holidays, and school
admission and graduation seasons.
