Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, CorD on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources. Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation. The truth is that the populations of many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, is on the rise. The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as animals on land. But unfortunately, marine creatures are equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as habitat destruction and overexploitation.
Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear. Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development. Animals that have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invaluable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish from places where they once flourished.
28. What is human’s perception of the ocean so far?
A. The ocean resources will never be exhausted.
B. The ocean is capable of resisting overexploitation.
C. Both A and B are correct.
D. Neither A or B is correct.
29. All of the following are true EXCEPT .
A. turtles are a kind of shallow water animal
B. the evolution of some animals could take up to millions of years
C. powerful animals like sharks run less risk of endangerment
D. coastal development affects the reproduction process of some sea animals
30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “vulnerable”?
A. resistant B. energetic C. weak D. adaptive
31. What is the reason for the difficulty in understanding threats to marine life?
A. That humans can hardly see marine creatures.
B. That the rate of population decrease is unsustainable.
C. That technology is underdeveloped.
D. That there are too many types of marine creatures in the ocean.
32. What does “flourished” mean?
A. changed into something unusual B. failed miserably
C. spread all over D. grew in a successful way
