Select the correct text in the passage.What three parts of the passage contain ideas that should be included in a summary?When most people hear the term "endangered species," they think of manatees, grizzly bears, whales, and other popular species that are at risk of dying out. If these animals don’t live in your area, you might think there is nothing you can do to help. However, more than 1,300 species of plants, birds, fish, invertebrates, and mammals are listed as endangered or threatened. Some might even live in or migrate through your area. Private citizens can play a critical role in protecting our country’s wildlife and plants. Things we do in our daily lives can help improve our lands so that the land is better suited to wildlife. All endangered and threatened species need your help, from the red-cockaded woodpecker to the Karner blue butterfly.

One species has become extinct in each year of this century. But many hundreds are now in danger. Lack of attention would lead to the rapid advance of the process of extinction. Already many kinds of animals have been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is forgotten. Animals like great apes, whales, seals, etc. are thought to be in danger of extinction. But even more important, perhaps than individual kinds of animals and plants, whole habitats are in danger of vanishing: marshes are being drained, and the world forests, especially tropical forests are being cut down to satisfy man’s needs or timber and paper.What would our world be like if all the wild animals and wild plants vanished- Would our life be extinct then?Question 1.Question 1: According to the passage, which sentence is NOT true?A.Animals like great apes, the whales, seals etc. thought to be in danger of extinction.B.Many hundreds of species are now not endangered.C.Whole habitats are in danger of vanishing.D.Lack of attention would lead to the rapid advance of the process of extinction.Question 2.Question 2: What is more important than individual kinds of animals and plants?A.The extinction of many species.B.The vanishing of whole habitats.C.The rapid advance of the process of extinction. ​​​​​​​D.Man’s needs of timber and paper.Question 3.Question 3: What does the writer caution us against?A.Hunting wild animals.B.Cutting down the tropical forests.C.Draining marshes.D.Destroying our environment.Question 4.Question 4: The verb “to threaten” in the passage means?A.to give fear toB.to polluteC.to vanishD.to poisonQuestion 5.Question 5: What would happen to the human being if the wild life vanished?A.The human life would be seriously threatened.B.Many species would quickly become extinct.C.Species would go on dying out.D.Tropical forest would be cut down.

Endangered species

Bob Davison describes the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as an effective tool for conserving biological diversity. What is his rationale for the value of focusing on individual species?The public is not concerned about the economic costs of individual species recovery.Establishing public empathy for charismatic species provides an opportunity to educate people about lesser-known species.A focus on individual species is cheaper than protecting entire ecosystems.The public tends to value intact ecosystems over particular plant and animal species.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 aimed to protect critically imperiled species and the ecosystems they depend on due to:*1 pointa. Economic growth and developmentb. Industrial expansionc. Agricultural productivityd. Urbanization

21.In which approach do we protect and conserve the animals that need urgent measures to save it from extinction?  A. In-situ conservation  B. Ex-situ conservation  C. On-site conservation  D. No conservation
