II. Read the passage and choose the best answer. (10 points)
We all love animals and want to get close to them and learn more about them. But the reality that
many tourists don't see is that to stay in business, animal encounters, such as elephant rides and
photo ops with tigers, rely on putting wild creatures to work. 
For visitors to environments ranging from 2005 to national parks, it can be especially difficult to
determine how to observe animals humanely. To assess how facilities treat captive animals, they
can definitely consider the following tips:
- Look for facilities where animals appear to be well-fed and have access to clean water at all
times.
- Observe whether animals have an appropriate environment, including shelter, a comfortable
resting area, and a secluded place away from crowds. 
 - Avoid facilities where animals are visibly injured or are forced to participate in activities that
could injure them or cause them pain or where enclosures aren't clean. Being chained, performing,
and interacting with tourists - giving rides, posing with them, being washed by them - are not
normal for a wild animal, even one born in captivity.
- Be aware that large crowds and unnatural noises cause distress, especially for animals that have
experienced fear-based training, separation from mothers at birth, or other traumas.
- Seek experiences that offer observation of animals engaging in natural behaviors in natural
environments.
The global wildlife tourism industry is entrepreneurial. Individual actions can make a collective
difference, signaling to the market that consumers support ethical wildlife encounters. When
travelers deicide they want humane treatment of animals, the wildlife tourism market will change
for the better.

III. Fill in each blank with a suitable word to complete the following passage.
Linguistics believe that early men used many gesture to communicate with one another. This, it is thought,
was a man’s first form of (1)__COMMUNICATION _and the only one he had for a long period of time.
Even today we use some sign language; for example, we shake our (2)_ HEADS to indicate yes or no, we
point and we wave.
The first spoken words may have been early man’s attempt to (3)_ IMITATE the sound made by
animals. Then he may have developed sounds of his own. Gradually, man may have repeated certain sounds
so (4)_ OFTEN that they became familiar and understandable to others. Once spoken language had begun,
perhaps man invented new words as he needed them to express himself verbally (5)_ OR to name new
objects. In this way we can imagine language growing.
By using words, parents were able to teach them to their children. The children in turn probably
made up new (6) ONES. Each generation, therefore, in the development of language, knew more words
than the generation (7)__ BEFORE it. Language is still growing and changing. Can you think (8)__ OF
some words you use today (9)_ THAT / WHICH were not used by your parents or grandparents (10)__
WHEN they were children?
