IV. 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.

The peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of extinction. In the 1960s, scientists discovered by-products of the pesticide DDT in the birds' eggs, which caused them to be too soft to survive. The use of the pesticide had been banned in the United States, but the falcons were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used. In order to increase the survival rate, scientists were raising the birds in laboratories and then releasing them into mountainous areas. This practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild.

There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild. A falcon that has been given the name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in the city. Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett into cities rather than into their natural wild habitat. These urban releases are becoming a common way to strengthen the species. Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not. First, there is an abundance of pigeons and small birds as food sources. The peregrine in the city is also protected from its main predator, the great horned owl. Urban release programs have been very successful in re-establishing the peregrine falcons along the East Coast. Though they are still an endangered species, their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs in 1992. In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without human help.

19. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. harmful effects of pesticides

B. endangered species

C. survival of peregrine falcons

D. releases into the wild

20. Why were the peregrine falcons in danger?

A. because they were prized by hunters and hunted to near extinction

B. because of pesticides used by American farmers

C. because they ate birds from other countries where DDT was still used

D. because they migrated to countries where their eggs could not survive

21. In line 3, the word "banned" could be best replaced by ____________.

A. developed

B. authorized

C. disseminated

D. prohibited

22. According to the passage, where have the release programs been the most successful?

A. in the wild

B. on the East Coast

C. in mountainous areas

D. in office buildings

23. According to the passage, which of the falcon’s main predators?

A. pigeons

B. rattlesnakes

C. owls

D. humans
