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 36 to 42.

          Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years. we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However no, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion’s former habitat remains.

          Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as  far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free to thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India.

          The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful  that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.

          India’s lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is interesting – it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them otherwise they would probably have died out completely.

When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very impressive animals and you would never guess that they this vulnerability when you look at them.

The passage is written to________.

A. persuade readers to protect the Asiatic lions

B. explain why the Gir Sanctuary is the best habitat for the Asiatic lions

C. describe the developmental history of the Gir Sanctuary

D. provide an overview of the existence of the Asiatic lions

          Hầu hết mọi người nghĩ rằng sư tử đến từ Châu Phi. Điều đó là dễ hiểu bởi sự thật rằng đa số sư tử trên thế giới là đến từ Châu Phi nhưng không phải loài sư tử nào cũng vậy. Nếu trở về 10 ngàn năm trước,chúng ta sẽ thấy rằng sư tử lang thang khắp các nơi trên thế giới. Tuy nhiên giờ đây, rất tiếc là chỉ còn một phần nhỏ môi trường sống của chúng còn tồn tại.

          Sư tử Châu Á là loài phụ bên cạnh sư tử Châu Phi. Khoảng 10 ngàn năm trước kể từ khi sư tử Châu Á tách ra và phát triển thành 1 loài mới. Có thời, sư tử Châu Á đã sống ở phía tây Hy Lạp và chúng đã được tìm thấy từ đó, nhưng trong một đàn chúng tản ra về phía đông qua các quốc gia khác nhau ở vùng Trung Đông, tất cả con đường đó đều dẫn về Ấn Độ. Ở những bảo tàng ngày nay , bạn có thể thấy các đồng xu Hy Lạp cổ có in hình rất rõ của sư tử Châu Á. Phần lớn những đồng xu cổ đó có niên đại từ năm 500 trước Công nguyên. Mặc dù vậy, người Châu Âu đã thấy lần cuối sư tử Châu Á đi lại tự do là vào khoảng 2000 năm trước. Qua 1900 năm , số lượng sư tử Châu Á ở nhiều khu vực đã giảm mạnh, nhưng chỉ đến thế kỉ 19, chúng biến mất và chỉ còn thấy ở Ấn Độ

          Khu bảo tồn động vật hoang dã Gir ở Ấn Độ được thành lập đặc biệt để bảo vệ sư tử Châu Á. Có khoảng ba trăm cá thể sư tử châu Á ở Ấn Độ và hầu hết chúng đều ở trong khu bảo tồn này. Tuy nhiên, mặc dù sống trong một khu bảo tồn làm chúng an toàn từ tay các thợ săn, chúng vẫn phải đối mặt với một số vấn đề đe dọa sự sống còn của mình. Một trong số đó là mối nguy hiểm đến từ bệnh tật. Đây là nguyên nhân đã giết chết hơn một phần ba sư tử Serengeti của Châu Phi vào năm 1994 và mọi người sợ rằng điều gì đó tương tự có thể xảy ra với Khu bảo tồn Gir và giết chết số lượng lớn sư tử Châu Á ở đó.

          Sư tử Ấn Độ đặc biệt dễ bị tổn thương vì chúng có giới hạn gen. Lý do cho điều này gây thú vị bởi vì tất cả chúng đều là hậu duệ của một vài tá những con sư tử được cứu bởi một hoàng tử ,ngườu mà quan tâm đặc biệt đến chúng. Ngài rất khỏe mạnh và ngài đã cố gắng xoay sở để bảo vệ được chúng; nếu không chúng sẽ có thể đã tuyệt chủng

          Khi bạn nhìn thấy sư tử Châu Á ở Ấn Độ, điều bạn cảm nhận sẽ là sức sống mãnh liệt. Chúng là động vật rất ấn tượng và bạn sẽ không bao giờ đoán rằng chúng có những điểm yếu này khi bạn nhìn vào
