XI. 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.
Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species
that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has
increased. Bengal tigers, for example, which 'once roamed the jungles
in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is
estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this
extinction will have been caused almost entirely by peachers who,
according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain
but in personal satisfaction. This is an example of the callousness that
is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal
tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the
world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be
enacted to ensure their survival and the survival of our planet.

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in
various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem,
have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. Ther then
charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the
parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for
support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to
protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal
extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered
species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent
animals from being hunted and killed.

Along with the rapid growth of the national economy and increased
living standards, the use of disposables and over-packaged products
has become common, which causes a waste of resources, and brings
about a negative impact on the environment. Many countries have
started to act to control the use of disposables and over-packaged,
products.

packaging methods.Korea's legal regulations require businesses to
restrict their use of disposable products by reducing unnecessary
packaging materials or not giving them out to customers for free. The
use of materials are difficult to recycle is also prohibited.
Thanks to development of technology, biodegradable materials were
invented to produce packaging products. They are able to decay
naturally by bacteria. Therefore, biodegradable packaging helps to limit
the amount of harmful chemicals released into the environment. In
2008, biodegradable bags were put in use in most of the supermarkets
in Korea. Paper cups and paper bags are also given to shoppers for
free, but in a limited use.
The ministry also established the detailed Guidelines on the Restrictions
of Use of Disposable Products in order to ensure that local governments
