Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on the top of the first page to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
In 1972 a century after the first national park in the United States was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar to that existing for land areas designated as national parks The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is People are permitted
to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed
or removed
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978 They range in size from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species
Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries The National Estuarine Research Reserve System managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves and preserves
Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea Others range
from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas whether as sanctuaries,parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity

Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on the top of the first page to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
In the course of its history, human inventions have dramatically increased the average amount of energy available for use per person Primitive peoples in cold regions burned wood and animal dung to heat their caves, cook food, and drive off animals by fire The first step toward the developing of more efficient fuels was taken when people discovered that they could use vegetable oils and animal fats in lieu of gathered or cut wood Charcoal gave off more intensive heat than wood and was more easily obtainable than organic fats The Greeks first began to use coal for metal smelting in the 4th century, but it did not come into extensive use until the Industrial Revolution
In the 1700s, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, most energy used in the United States and other nations undergoing industrialization was obtained from perpetual and renewable sources, such as wood, water streams, domesticated animal labor, and wind These were predominantly locally available supplies By mid-1800s, 91 percent of all commercial energy consumed in the United States and European countries was obtained from wood However, at he beginning of the 20th century, coal became a major energy source and replaced wood in industrializing countries Although in most regions and climate
zones wood was more readily accessible than coal, the latter represents a more concentrated
source of energy In 1910, natural gas and oil firmly replaced coal as the main source of fuel because they are lighter and, therefore, cheaper to transport They burned more cleanly than coal and polluted less Unlike coal, oil could be refined to manufacture liquid fuels for vehicles, a very important consideration in the early 1900s, when the automobile arrived on the scene
By 1984, non-renewable fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, provided over 82 percent of the commercial and industrial energy used in the world Small amounts of energy were derived from nuclear fission, and the remaining 16 percent came from burning direct perpetual and renewable fuels, such as biomass Between 1700 and 1986, a large number of countries shifted from the use of energy from local sources to a centralized generation of hydropower and solar energy converted to electricity The energy derived from non-renewable fossil fuels has been increasingly produced in one location and transported to

another, as is the case with most automobile fuels In countries with private, rather than public transportation, the age of non-renewable fuels has created a dependency on a finite resource that will have to be replaced
Alternative fuel sources are numerous, and shale oil and hydrocarbons are just two examples The extraction of shale oil from large deposits in Asian and European regions has proven to be labor consuming and costly The resulting product is sulfur-and nitrogen-rich,
and large scale extractions are presently prohibitive Similarly, the extraction of
hydrocarbons from tar sands in Alberta and Utah is complex Semi-solid hydrocarbons cannot be easily separated from the sandstone and limestone that carry them, and modern technology is not sufficiently versatile for a large-scale removal of the material However, both sources of fuel may eventually be needed as petroleum prices continue to rise and limitations in fossil fuel availability make alternative deposits more attractive

C. A history of energy use D. A historical review of energy rates
Question 23: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that

Vào năm 1972, một thế kỷ sau khi công viên quốc gia đầu tiên ở Hoa Kỳ được thành lập tại Yellowstone, pháp luật đã được thông qua để tạo ra chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia Mục đích của luật này là nhằm bảo vệ môi trường sống ven biển được lựa chọn tương
tự như các khu vực đất được chỉ định làm vườn quốc gia Việc chỉ định một khu vực làm khu bảo tồn biển thể hiện rằng đó là một khu vực được bảo vệ, giống như một vườn quốc gia Người ta được phép đến thăm và quan sát ở đó, nhưng sinh vật sống và môi trường của chúng không bị tổn hại hoặc bị bỏ đi
Chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia do Cục quản lý đại dương và khí quyển quốc gia quản lý, một chi nhánh của Bộ Thương mại Hoa Kỳ Ban đầu, 70 địa điểm đã được đề xuất làm khu bảo tồn Sau hai năm rưỡi , chỉ có 15 khu bảo tồn được chọn , một nửa trong
số đó được thiết lập sau năm 1978 Chúng có kích thước từ nhỏ nhất từ hơn 1 km vuống như khu bảo tồn biển quốc gia Fagatele Bay ở Samoa thuộc Mỹ đến hơn 15.744 km vuông-Vịnh Monterey National Marine Sanctuary ở California
Chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia là một phần quan trọng trong các hoạt động quản lý mới, trong đó toàn bộ các loài, không chỉ riêng các loài cá, được bảo vệ khỏi sự suy thoái môi trường sống và khai thác quá mức Chỉ bằng cách này mức độ đa dạng sinh học biển hợp lý mới có thể được duy trì ở mức độ ổn định tương quan tự nhiên giữa các loài này

Một số loại khác của khu bảo tồn biển tồn tại ở Hoa Kỳ và các nước khác Hệ thống Dự trữ Nghiên cứu Vùng Estuarine Quốc gia do chính phủ Hoa Kỳ quản lý, bao gồm 23 cửa sông được chỉ định và được bảo vệ Bên ngoài Hoa Kỳ, các chương trình khu bảo tồn biển được xây dựng như các công viên biển dự trữ và bảo quản
Hơn 100 khu vực được chỉ định tồn tại xung quanh vùng biển Caribê Một số khác nằm trong phạm vi từ Công viên Great Barrer Reef nổi tiếng của Úc đến những công viên ít được biết đến hơn ở các quốc gia như Thái Lan và Indonesia, nơi du lịch đang đặt áp lực ngày càng tăng lên các hệ thống san hô ngầm mỏng manh Vì các cơ quan nhà nước, quốc gia và quốc tế đã nhận thức được tầm quan trọng của việc bảo tồn đa dạng sinh học biển, các khu vực bảo tồn sinh vật biển, dù là những khu bảo tồn công viên hoặc khu bảo tồn cửa sông, sẽ đóng một vai trò ngày càng quan trọng trong việc bảo tồn sự đa dạng đó Trong quá trình lịch sử, các phát minh của con người đã làm tăng đáng kể lượng năng lượng
