answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most lions do 
come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years. we would find that 
there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However no, unfortunately only a very small section of the 
lion’s former habitat remains.
 Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic 
lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and 
they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of the Middle East, all the 
way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. 
Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free to thousand 
years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined 
steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India.
 The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are now 
around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However, despite living 
in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their 
survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s 
Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill 
off many of the Asiatic lions there.
 India’s lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is 
interesting – it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who 
took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them otherwise they would 
probably have died out completely.
 5 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 from 43 to 50.
 If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the warm 
water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or 
windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, 
snorkeling and scuba diving.
 Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which 
means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer. You also 
have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your 
arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on 
the board. The wave will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on 
top of the wave. The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will 
have an exciting ride all the way in to the shore.
 Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the 
ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of 
colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light 
purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.
 Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-contained 
Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water. In 
Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that 
will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary 
when you are scuba diving.
 If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed, just 
a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to 
snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. 
Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from 
the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.
Question 43: The passage is about______________.
 A. water sports around the world B. surfing
 C. tourist activities in Hawaii D. water sports in Hawaii
Question 44: You can infer from the passage that______________.
 A. water sports are all expensive 
 B. you need to take a course for all water sports
