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 1 to 7.
Every summer, three billion birds of some 300 species-songbirds, waterbirds, and many others
migrate from northern Africa to Europe and Asia. In the winter, they return to Africa's warmer shores.
As they travel from one place to another, they navigate using the sun, the stars, smells, and land forms to
help them find their way. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at
locations along the way to rest.
The birds’ migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals inevitably die during each trip.
However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat
to the birds’ survival comes from human hunters. All over the Mediterranean, millions of migrating
birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. As a result, bird populations are dropping all over
the region. In nations along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally trapped or shot. In
addition to traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. This tool, which a hunter can operate
from a cell phone, mimics bird sounds and is very effective in attracting the animals so effective that in
some countries, bird populations have plummeted.
Countries all over the Mediterranean are aware that bird populations are in danger, and many are
working to address this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some
countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled - the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year.
This hasn't completely stopped bird poaching in Europe, but more nature-protection groups are making
sure that laws are obeyed.
Across the Mediterranean, another group - Nature Conservation Egypt - is working to increase
protection of its country's natural scenery and wildlife, including its migratory birds. As part of a current
project, the organization is trying to promote activities such as eco-tourism along the coasts. Wildlife
organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. Hunting bans are working,
says Martin Schneider-Jacoby, a bird specialist for the German organization EuroNatur. But there is still
more to do. Conservationists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If
this can be done, the birds’ numbers will increase. There's a long way to go, Schneider-Jacoby says, but
like an Oasis in the desert after a long journey, there is hope.

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 8 to 14.
Most schools in the United States start at the kindergarten level. There are some school districts that
do not have this beginning phase, and others which have an additional "preschool" one. There are
almost always required subjects at each level. In some areas and at more advanced levels, the students
can choose some subjects. Pupils who do not do well often have to repeat courses, or have to have
special tutoring, usually done in and by the schools. Many schools also support summer classes, where
students can make up for failed courses or even take extra courses.
In addition to bilingual and bicultural education programmes, many schools have special
programmes for those with learning and reading difficulties. These and other programmes repeat the
emphasis of American education on trying to increase equality of opportunity. They also attempt to
integrate students with varying abilities and backgrounds into an educational system shared by all.
Like schools in Britain and other English-speaking countries, those in the U.S. have also always
stressed "character" or "social skills" through extracurricular activities, including organized sports.
Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4
o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early
evening.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming-pools,
tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organise and support
school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and
local businesses often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music
competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only
give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school
spirit" among the students and in the community.
