Sample 1:
It is known that animals play an important role in our environment. However, many animal species are in danger of extinction. The reason causing the decrease in the number of animals is mainly from human beings. It is high time we had to take some measures to protect endangered animals. Firstly, people should be educated about the importance of wild animals in maintain the biodiversity. They should be told about the things that threat the safety of wildlife so that they can avoid doing them. Secondly, the governments all over the world should set up national parks and wild-life preserves as many as possible. Thanks to these natural and safe places, animals will have a suitable habitat and good conditions to survive. Last but not least, each nation must enforce stricter law with more serious punishment- capital punishment, for example - to prevent people from poaching rare and valuable animals. In general, protecting wild animals is essential and each of us has the responsibility for protecting and saving endangered species before it is too late.
Sample 2:
There are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals. First, people should organize different activities to raise people's awareness of the urgent needs to protect these animals. For example, they hold international conferences, seminars and forums about the great importance of ecology and biodiversity. At the same time, they should appeal for government agencies in the world to contribute to the programs of protecting and preserving plants and animals that are driven to the verge of extinction. In addition, people should contribute to the fund of preserving the earth's valuable natural resources for the future generations. Besides these, governments should enact laws to ban activities that can damage or destroy the nature. If these measures are taken, our planet might be a peaceful and beautiful place for all kinds of beings to live in.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springsdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology at college and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other Systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
