Hunting is a very old activity. Hundreds of years ago, kings and their families hunted deer. In the 1800s, fox-hunting became more popular. The hunters used groups of dogs to chase the foxes while they followed on horses. They wore special clothes for hunting: bright jackets-usually red – black boots and black hats. This tradition continued through the 1800s and 1900s, especially in rural areas. However, many people in the UK were unhappy about the tradition of fox-hunting. It was especially unpopular among people who lived in cities. They thought it was a cruel andout-dated activity and argued that it is wrong to kill animals for fun. On September 15th, 2004, the government 2 made a new law to ban hunting with dogs. The traditional fox hunts had to stop. They were now illegal.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature's provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy, and has been practised for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments such as deserts, forests, or arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies. Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice a seasonal migration pattern evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labour between the sexes. These patterns of behaviour may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java(8) tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken up more of the land to build upon(9), the tigers found less area for themselves to hunt. They thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers’ livestock were attacked by these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for recreation(10). Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine.(11) Although killing is illegal, it is still being carried out unless it is stopped, the remaining species of tigers will soon become extinct too.(12)
8.How many species of tigers were there originally?
A.three B. Four C. Five D. eight
9.There were fewer hunting grounds for the tigers because _____
A.man had occupied the land B. the farmers put their livestock there
C.the tiger population was becoming bigger D. they liked hunting livestock
10.Man continues hunting tigers even they are no longer pests because _____
A.he treats it as a form of recreation B. he loves tigers very much
C.he still thinks tigers are pests D. he wants to make the tigers extinct
11.Poachers are people who _____
A.look after tigers B. make Chinese medicine
C.hunt tigers illegally D. hunt tigers’ body parts
12.Illegal poaching will _____
A.cause the extinction of tigers
B.increase the amount of Chinese medicine
C.increase the amount of Chinese medicine
D.increase the price of body parts
