Exercise 5 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. They are full of life, with perhaps one quarter of all
ocean species depending on reefs for food and shelter. This is a remarkable statistic when you consider that reefs
cover just a tiny fraction of the earth's surface and less than two per cent of the ocean bottom. Because they are so
diverse, coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the ocean. Coral reefs are very important to people. They
even provide seventy per cent of the food demands for some marine species, protection of shorelines, jobs based
on tourism (nine out of twelve activities for tourists in Nha Trang, for example, involve the coral reefs), and even
medicines.
Unfortunately, climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly
indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to
greenhouse gases derived from human activities.
As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent.
Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce
calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decreases
in pH. This process is called ocean acidification.
Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of
tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter
ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe.
There are also many things you can do to ensure that you are environmentally conscious when you visit coral reefs
or coastal areas. These include things such as hiring local guides to support the economy, removing all trash from
an area, never touching or harassing wildlife in reef areas, and avoiding dropping your boat anchor or chain nearby
a coral reef.
Finally, stay informed and spread the word! Educate yourself about why healthy coral reefs are valuable to the
people, fish, plants, and animals that depend on them. Your excitement will help others get involved.
1. Though the coverage of coral reefs on the sea bed is ____, its vital role is undeniable.
A. remarkable B. small C. diverse D. huge
2. ____ of all the ocean species find food and home in the coral reefs.
A. Two per cent B. Seventy per cent C. Twenty-five per cent D. Nine per cent
120. Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere directly caused ____.
A. infectious disease outbreaks B. reef-building
C. sea level rise D. ocean acidification
3. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Coral reefs can be compared to rainforests due to its diversity.
B. The effects of global warming are only on the ecosystems themselves.
C. You can help the coral reefs by educating not only yourself but people around you.
D. Human activities which cause greenhouse gases are major reasons for the climate change.
4. The word conscious in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. knowledgeable B. curious C. aware D. acknowledgeable
Exercise 6. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
The poaching crisis wiping out Africa's elephants is costing the continent's economies millions in lost tourism
revenue, according to a new study. Researchers looked at visitor and elephant data across 25 countries, and
modeled financial losses from fewer visitors in protected areas due to the illegal wildlife trade, which has caused
elephant numbers to plummet by more than 100,000 in the last decade. (A)
The study team combined visitor numbers across 164 protected areas in 25 countries in forest and savannah
elephants, and elephant population data from 2009 to 2013, to reach a “per elephant" value in terms of tourism
income.
They concluded that Africa was most likely losing $26m in tourism revenue a year. (B) Around $9m of that is lost
from tourists' direct spending, such as staying at hotels and buying crafts, with the rest through indirect value in the
economy such as farmers and other suppliers supporting the tourist industry.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that in most cases the revenue losses were
higher than paying for stronger anti-poaching measures to keep elephant populations stable. (C) Dr. Robin Naidoo,
the paper's lead author and , senior conservation wildlife scientist at WWF and his team found. In the case of
central Africa's forest elephants, which are harder for tourists to see and therefore attract fewer visitors, the costs of
protecting them exceed the benefits from tourism. Demand from south-east Asia has seen the price of ivory triple
since 2009 and it is estimated that one elephant is killed every 15 minutes. (D) Corruption, a lack of resources,
and, most importantly, increasingly sophisticated poachers have hamstrung African countries' efforts to stem the
trade.
Naidoo said that the research was not suggesting economic issues should be the only consideration when
protecting elephants, but framing the poaching crisis as a financial one could motivate African governments and
communities.
“It gives an additional reason for some groups of people, who may not necessarily be motivated by intrinsic
reasons for conversation, to engage with biodiversity conservation. It makes it clear to them that it's not just in the
best interests of the world to conserve this stuff, but tangible reasons for a whole different group," he said.
5. The overall profit that the continent lost a year can be estimated to ____.
A. 25 million USD B. 100,000 USD C. 26 million USD D. 9 million USD
6. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. To get to the conclusion, scientists compared the changes in number of tourists and number of elephants in
2009.
B. The only reason why illegal poaching is so difficult to stop is corruption.
C. Protecting elephants is for the both the practical and immaterial reasons.
D. There is an argument over the differences in the balance between the loss and the cost to protect the elephants.
7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Across the continent, the amount of money spent on protecting the elephant is smaller than the loss tourist
industry is suffering from.
B. The number of tourists reduces because now it is more difficult for them to see the elephants in the wild.
C. One reason why elephants are killed in mass volume is from the increasing market of ivory in South East Asia.
D. Relating poaching to financial benefits can be considered as one of the solutions to the problem.

areas,” best fit?
