Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
Reading 1
By the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the American language, but ice was still
only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the
growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city
dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War(1861-1865), as ice was used to
refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families
for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a
precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient ice box was not as easy as
we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was
essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox
was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that
performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in
blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did
inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He
owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown
was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he
found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a
premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox,
Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep
their produce cool.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The influence of ice on the diet B. The development of refrigeration
C. The transportation of goods to market D. Sources of ice in the 19th century
2. According to the passage, when did the word "icebox" become part of the language of the United
States?
A. In 1803 B. Sometime before 1850
C. During the Civil War D. Near the end of the nineteenth century
3. The phrase "forward-looking" in line 3 is closest in meaning to _______
A. progressive B. popular C. thrifty D. well-established
4. The author mentions fish in line 3 because _______
A. many fish dealers also sold ice B. fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars
C. fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice
D. fish was not part of the ordinary person's diet before the invention of the icebox
5. The word "it" in line 4 refers to _______
A. fresh meat B. the Civil War C. ice D. a refrigerator
6. According to the passage, which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox?
A. Competition among the owners of refrigerated freight cars
B. The lack of a network for the distribution of ice
C. The use of insufficient insulation D. Inadequate understanding of physics
7. The word "rudimentary" in line 9 is closest in meaning to _______
A. growing B. undeveloped C. necessary D. uninteresting
8. According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would _______
A. completely prevent ice from melting B. stop air from circulating
C. allow ice to melt slowly D. use blankets to conserve ice

Leakey’s Achievement
Although he made his name with his archeological finds of early humans, Richard Leakey became
famous as the conservationist who turned the tide against elephant poaching. Bringing the slaughter of
Kenya's elephants under control required a military solution, and Leakey was not afraid to apply it.
Many poachers were killed, giving Leakey a reputation for being a cold- blooded obsessive who put
animals before people. Moreover, his efforts to eradicate corruption in Kenya's wildlife management
system won him many enemies.
But the birth of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the eradication of elephant poaching and the ban on
the international trade in ivory are his legacy, and they form the basis of Wildlife Wars. This surprisingly
personal memoir has much to tell about the fragile relationships between conservationists and
governments. It is a story not only of Kenya, but of the continuing cost of trying to save the world's
wildlife from extinction.
Life for the average person in Africa is tough, and basic needs are far from being met. This is the
background against which Leakey fought his war, and he constantly refers to the threat poverty poses to
the preservation of Africa's spectacular wildlife. Leakey's argument, here and in recent lectures, is that
national parks managed exclusively for biodiversity protection must be created, and that this protection
of our wildlife heritage should be funded by international sources.
However, in the early 1990s the development agencies favoured "community based" conservation.
Leakey's stand on protection of parks was seen as a lack of respect for local communities, and used
against him when he resigned as head of the KWS in 1994. Recently donors and conservationists have
come to recognise the limitations of purely local conservation programmes; there is a growing consensus
that the poor are unlikely to manage wildlife resources wisely for the long term because their needs are
immediate.
Wildlife Wars continues where Leakey's memoir One Life left off. It spans a 13-year period, beginning
in 1989 when Leakey became head of the KWS. Then the elephant slaughter was at its height across
Africa; it is estimated that between 1975 and 1989 the international markets for ivory in Europe, the
United States and Asia led to the death of 1.2 m elephants, slaughtered for their ivory to make piano
keys, games and fashion accessories. Kenya's herds were reduced by more than 85% by armed poachers,
who turned their guns on anything and anyone. To stop this killing required changing the perceptions of
ivory users so as to eliminate the markets, as well as mounting an armed force against the poachers.
With both humour and seriousness, Leakey explains the sacrifices he had to make in order to see his
vision succeed.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Leakey makes light of the sometimes comical circumstances,
although it is clear that his life was at risk many times and he worked under tremendous pressure. For
many, however, the real question is why this paleoanthropologist should risk his life for wildlife. The
answer may lie in Leakey's own depiction of himself, although obviously aggressive and driven while
running KWS, as essentially reflective. Presenting in moving terms his introduction to elephant emotions
and society, he describes his outrage at the moral and ethical implications of poaching and culling for
ivory, arguing that elephants, apes, whales and dolphins have emotions so like those of humans that they
deserve to be treated as such.
Hard-core wildlife groups sniggered at his 'bunny- hugging' tendencies, but they underestimated his
impact. It is impossible to put a value on Leakey's work during those years. As the elephant population
began to recover, Kenya's tourist industry revived to become the country's main source of revenue. An
international awareness campaign centred on an ivory bonfire, which led to the ban on ivory trade and
the collapse of ivory prices.
1. Richard Leakey is most well-known for_______
A. increasing wildlife budgets. B. successfully stopping illegal hunting.
C. removing the ban on the ivory trade. D. helping to identify man’s origins.
2. The word poaching in paragraph 1 is closest meaning to_______
A. cooking B. approaching C. hunting illegally D. stealing
3. The word fragile in paragraph 2 has the opposite meaning to_______
A. sturdy B. delicate C. flimsy D. brittle
4. In paragraph 3, Leakey makes the point that_______
A. conservation should be global responsibility. B. a war must be fought against poverty.
C. Africa’s wildlife is an international attraction.D. There is insufficient money to establish parks.
5. It is now becoming accepted that _______
A. Leakey had no regard for local communities.
B. conservation programs should be under local control
C. donors have not yet received sufficient recognition.
D. poverty makes regional conservation programmes unreliable.
6. The writers says that between 1975 and 1989 _______
A. the perceptions of the use of ivory changed. B. elephants were used to make piano keys.
C. the elephant population was decimated. D. demand for ivory began to decrease.
7. Leakey considers himself _______
A. amusing B. sentimental C. contemplative D. obsessive
8. The word gravity in paragraph 6 is closest meaning to _______
A. importance B. force C. weight D. seriousness
9. What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?
A. a disease had affected elephants. B. Leakey’s views are overly sentimental.
C. Leakey’s success in doubt. D. Leakey’s work had wide-range effects.
10. This passage is taken from _______
A. an article about endangered species. B. a book about Richard Leakey.
C. an article about Kenya. D. a book review

distance that divides our private lives from the outside world to such an extent as television.
Time and again, television transports us to the habitats of rare animals, and we may identify among
them. Concern for damage to the environment extends far and away. We worry about the influence of
technology not just in our cities but on us like people. Increasingly, we see us as part of the planet rather
