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. 
 Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is 
very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With 
just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any 
friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe 
without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by 
body fat that is called blubber. 
 Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than fish. They 
live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. 
The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured 
members; instead, they cradle them. 
 When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case 
occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had 
begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger 
to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon 
turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These 
holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
