4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. There are thousands of animal species on our planet, each uniquely adapted to its environment. However, in the past century, human activities have caused many animals to become endangered. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), around 40% of all animal species are now at risk of extinction. One example is the Sumatran orangutan, which lives in the rainforests of Indonesia. Deforestation has destroyed much of their habitat, leaving them with fewer places to live. Moreover, illegal poaching has further reduced their population. These factors have caused the number of Sumatran orangutans to decrease by 80% over the past 75 years. Another case is the polar bear, whose survival depends heavily on the existence of sea ice. Due to global warming, the Arctic ice is melting, making it harder for polar bears to find food and build dens for their young. As a result, their population is also in decline. Efforts are being made to save endangered animals through conservation projects. Wildlife reserves, such as national parks, provide protected environments where animals can live without the threat of human interference. Additionally, laws against poaching and illegal hunting are being strengthened in many countries. Technology, such as GPS tracking devices, is also being used to monitor endangered species and prevent illegal activities. Question 23. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. There are no conservation projects carried out to protect endangered animals B. Conservation projects are being carried out to protect endangered animals C. Technology should be regarded as the last effort to save endangered animals D. These are the last projects to protect endangered animals. Question 24. The word "poaching" in paragraph 2 refers to _______ . A. destruction of rainforests B. building of national parks C. illegal hunting of animals D. legal wildlife trading Question 25. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why animals become endangered? A. Illegal hunting B. Natural disasters C. Deforestation D. Climate change Question 26. The word "interference" in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by _______ . A. observation B. disruption C. coexistence D. support Question 27. What can be inferred about the polar bear's future if global warming continues? A. Their numbers will stabilize. B. They will adapt to the warmer climate. C. They will migrate to other regions. D. Their population will continue to decline. Question 28. In which paragraph does the author mention the reasons leading to the decline in the number of a kind of bear?
