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 from 28 to 32.
In the past hundred years, biodiversity around the world has decreased dramatically. Many species have
gone extinct. Extinction is a natural process; some species naturally die out while new species evolve. But
human activity has changed the natural processes of extinction and evolution. Scientists estimate that they
are dying out at hundreds of times the natural rate.
A major reason for the loss of biodiversity is that natural habitats are being destroyed. The fields, forests,
and wetlands where wild plants and animals live are disappearing. Land is cleared to plant crops or build
houses and factories. Forests are cut for lumber and firewood. Between 1990 and 2005, the amount of
forested land in Honduras, for instance, dropped 37 percent. As habitats decline, fewer individuals can live
there. The creatures that survive have fewer breeding partners, so genetic diversity goes down.
Pollution, overfishing, and overhunting have also caused a drop in biodiversity. Global climate change -
the latest rise in the average temperature around the globe, linked to human activity - is also a factor.
Warmer ocean temperatures damage fragile ecosystems such as coral reefs. A single coral reef can shelter
3,000 species offish and other sea creatures such as clams and sea stars.

Question 30. What is the main reason for the loss of biodiversity mentioned in the passage?
A. natural processes of extinction and evolution B. pollution, overfishing, and overhunting
C. global climate change D. destruction of natural habitats
Question 31. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. scientists B. processes C. species D. habitats

A. Extinction is a natural process that occurs over time.
