New research shows that long-term changes in diseases in ocean species coincides with decades of
widespread environmental change The paper, "Increases and decreases in marine disease reports in an era of global change," was published Oct 9 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B
Understanding oceanic trends is important for evaluating today's threats to marine systems, and disease is an important sentinel of change, according to senior author Drew Harvell, professor of marine biology at Cornell University "Disease increases and decreases can both be bad news," said lead author Allison Tracy, who studied with Harvell "The long-term changes in disease that we see here may result from anthropogenic pressure on plants and animals in the ocean." The researchers examined marine infectious disease reports from 1970 to 2013, which transcend short-term fluctuations and regional
variation They examined records of corals, urchins, mammals, decapods, fish, mollusks, sharks, rays,
seagrass and turtles
Trang 4For corals and urchins, reports of infectious disease increased over the 44-year period In the Caribbean, increasing coral disease reports correlated with warming events It is widely known that coral bleaching increases with warming, but Harvell said they have established a long-term connection between warming and coral disease "We’ve finally linked a coral killer like infectious disease to repeated warming bouts over four decades of change," she said "Our study shows that infectious disease reports are associated with warm temperature anomalies in corals on a multi-decadal scale." These results improve understanding of how changing environments alter species interactions, and they provide a solid baseline for health of marine life in the period studied
Question 33 Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Infectious disease in marine life linked to ocean warming
B. Health threats from polluted coastal waters
C. Ocean pollution and diseases resulted from aquaculture
D. What to know about flesh-eating bacteria infections

A. It deals with the task of monitoring vector-borne threats
B. It reflects the progress in the study of human immunology
C. It serves as an indicator of the presence of oceanic changes
D. It induces changes in fungal communities under the water
Question 36 The word “They” in paragraph 2 refers to
Question 37 According to paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the Allison Tracy's investigation?
A. No level of conservation in the future will be enough to override the warming impacts
D. Rising global temperatures are spreading disease at an unprecedented level
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 ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the most impressive Seven Wonders of the World Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century The ruins of Angkor are documented as some of the most impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza
in Egypt Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning
to ponder The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water
One possible explanation for the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants
irrigation system The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River Once filled, they
were used to irrigate the surrounding rice paddies and farmland during the course of the year Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production
Trang 5
Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor In order to feed
so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply With less food available, the people
of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have
fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure

A. The essential role water plays in farming
B. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia
C. Religious temples of the ancient Khmer Empire
D. A possible explanation for the decline of a civilization
