Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the

past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of

biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is

important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem

is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in

less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably

redirected the course of evolution

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and

it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide

Trang 5

agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, which will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments

43 The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world's

ecosystems EXCEPT

A destruction of the tropical rain forests

B damage to marine ecosystems

C the introduction of new varieties of plant species

D habitat destruction in wetlands

44 With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

A Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems

B Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy

C Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems

D The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress

45 The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to

46 The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that

_

A Earth's climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs' extinction

B not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

C the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is unknown

D actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species' extinction

47 According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from changes caused by

humans in that changes caused by humans

A are reversible B are occurring at a much faster rate

C are less devastating to most species D affect fewer ecosystems

48 The word "jolting" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A complicated B shocking C predicted D unknown

49 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The time required for species to adapt to new environments

B The variety of species found in tropical rain forests

C The impact of human activities on Earth's ecosystems

D The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs

50 The word "critical" is closest in meaning to
