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.
Travel at the North and South Poles has become an expensive leisure activity, suitable for tourists of
all ages. The poles may be inhospitable places, but they are seeing increasing numbers of visitors.
Annual figures for the Arctic, where tourism has existed since the 19th century, have increased from
about a million in the early 1990s to more than 1.5 million today. This is partly because of the
lengthening summer season brought about by climate change.

Mã đề 101 Page 2
 The global economic downturn may have affected the annual 20.6 percent rate of increase in visitors
to the Antarctic - last season saw a drop of 17 percent to 38,200 - but there has been a 760 percent rise in
land-based tourism there since 1997. More people than ever are landing at fragile sites, with light aircraft,
helicopters and all-terrain vehicles increasingly used for greater access.
Although polar tourism is widely accepted, there have been few regulations up until recently. At the
meeting of the Antarctic Treaty in Baltimore, the 28 member nations adopted proposals for limits to
tourist numbers. These included safety codes for tourist vessels in Antarctic waters, and improved
environmental protection for the continent. They agreed to prevent ships with more than 500 passengers
from landing in Antarctica, as well as limit the number of passengers going ashore to a maximum of 100
at any one time, with a minimum of one guide for every 20 tourists.
These days, rarely a week passes without a negative headline in the newspapers. The suffering polar
bear has become a symbol of a warming world, its plight a warning that the clock is ticking. It would
seem that this ticking clock is a small but growing factor for some tourists. ‘There’s an element of “do it
now”,’ acknowledges Prisca Campbell, Marketing director of Quark Expeditions, which takes 7,000
people to the poles annually. Leaving the trip until later, it seems, may mean leaving it too late.

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.
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 agreement that
it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that 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.
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?

B. The cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is unknown.
C. Not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity.
D. Actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species' extinction.
Question 40. The word "magnitude" in paragraph 3 mostly means .
A. extent B. concern C. ignorance D. greed
