21. Reading Comprehension:
    THEY NEED SAVING TOO!
    It’s no accident that the symbol of the World Wide Fund for Nature is a giant panda. These
    animals are cute or beautiful, or both, and of course we all want to save them. This popularity
    enables organisations such as the WWF to raise money to support a range of critically
    endangered species. However, less well-known or ‘exciting’ creatures are far more likely to
    become extinct because 1 they don’t get enough attention from researchers. Invertebrates make
    up over 90% of all the creatures on Earth, but get only a tiny percentage of the money available
    to protect our wildlife.
    And what about those creatures that many people would find positively ugly? With its tiny eyes,
    big mouth and slimy pink body, the blobfish is far from attractive. This marine creature lives
    deep in the ocean, where the pressure is very high. As a result,2 it has tiny fins and no skeleton,
    which keeps it from being crushed by the water pressure. Unfortunately, when fishing boats
    sweep the ocean floor, looking for other fish and crustaceans, these fish can get swept into the
    nets accidentally
    21. Why is the panda used as the symbol of the WWF?
    • It is the rarest animal alive
    • It is cute and appealing
    • It is the strongest animal
    • It is easy to find
22. 22. What advantage does the panda’s popularity give organisations like the WWF?
    • It makes pandas live longer
    • It helps them raise money for endangered species
    • It makes research easier
    • It reduces extinction
23. 23. What is the main reason some species are more likely to become extinct?
    • They live too long
    • They are too difficult to catch
    • They don’t receive enough attention from researchers
    • They are too expensive to study
24. 24. What percentage of Earth’s creatures are invertebrates?
    • About 50%
    • Over 90%
    • Around 10%
    • Less than 1%
25. 25. Why do invertebrates receive less protection funding?
    • They are not endangered
    • They are too dangerous
    • They are less exciting or well-known
    • They live only in oceans
26. 26. Why does the blobfish have no skeleton and tiny fins?
    • To swim faster
    • To survive in high pressure deep water
    • To catch prey easily
    • To hide from predators
27. 27. What happens to blobfish when boats sweep the ocean floor?
    • They escape quickly
    • They hide in rocks
    • They may be accidentally caught in fishing nets
    • They rise to the surface
28. 28. The pronoun they in “because they don’t get enough attention from researchers”
    refers to:
    • Pandas
    • Endangered species overall
    • Less well-known or ‘exciting’ creatures

29. 29. The pronoun it in “As a result, it has tiny fins and no skeleton” refers to:

    • Pressure
    • The blobfish
    • A fishing boat

    • endangered
    • extinct
    • crustaceans
    • marine
