Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification
contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals
are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms
is reflected in the art and literature of every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many
groups. According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people need nature in all its diverse and
beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological
fields, is that of ecological self-interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is
ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every
species contributes important or even essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own
species. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from
rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings. If we do
not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral
justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World
Charter for Nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures
on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all
species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement called “deep ecology,” the members of which
rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends on this larger perspective. To
carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not for people.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 42 to 46.
Accidents do not occur at random. People, eighty-five years of age and older, are twenty-two times
likely to die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times
that for Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at
more than twice the rate of females, in part because they are more prone to risky behavior. Alaskans are more
than three times as likely as Rhode Islanders to die in an accident. Texans are twenty-one times more likely
than New Jerseyites to die in a natural disaster. Among the one hundred most populous counties, Kern County,
California (Bakersfield), has an accident fatality rate three times greater than Summit County, Ohio (Akron).
Accidents happen more often to poor people. Those living in poverty receive inferior medical care, are
more apt to reside in houses with faulty heating and electrical systems, drive older cars with fewer safety
features, and are less likely to use safety belts. People in rural areas have more accidents than city or suburban
dwellers because farming is much riskier than working in a factory or office and because emergency medical
services are less readily available. These two factors - low income and rural residence - may explain why the
south has a higher accident rate than the north.
