IV. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (2 điểm)

In today's world, thousands of plants and animals are in danger of extinction, and the

number of species at risk increases every year. Not all plants or animals existing in small numbers

are endangered as their population may not be decreasing or threatened. An endangered species is

one which is expected to die out within twenty years unless special measures are taken to protect it.

Endangered animals include blue whales, giant pandas, orangutans, rhinoceroses, snow

leopards, tigers and some species of crocodile. Endangered plants include some species of cactus.

Why are the above species of animals endangered? There are now legal limits on hunting, but not all

species are protected by law. Even when animals are legally protected, illegal hunting for fur, tusks

and horns continues. Those animals that are not killed are captured and sent to zoos or sold as pets.

For example, the little blue macaw, a parrot native to Brazil, has been captured in such numbers for

private bird collections that it is almost extinct in the wild. In addition to this, many species'

habitats are eliminated when people clear land in order to build on it, or when they introduce

domestic and non-native animals which overgraze the vegetation and even prey on birds and

mammals which are already at risk of extinction.
