The word “biodiversity” is a term heard with increasing frequency in the ongoing debate over how best to protect the world’s environment, and more specifically, how to preserve its rapidly dwindling numbers of plant and animal species. In very general terms, “biodiversity” refers to the numbers plant and animal species that can be found in a particular habitat or ecosystem. This is apparently a very simple concept, but the simplicity of it belies its significance. A better popular understanding of the real meaning of biodiversity and of its importance to the circumstances in which we presently find ourselves is critical to the success of efforts to protect the environment, and therefore essential to our own survival. Global biodiversity, which is the total number of plant and animal species existing on the planet at any one time, can only be estimated; and only very roughly estimated at that. Undoubtedly, many species remain to be discovered. Some of these, such as insects and microscopic life, are small enough to have escaped our notice, while others dwell in areas we have only begun to explore; the species inhabiting the deepest ocean depths, for example. It must also be remembered that we are in the midst of a mass extinction event. Species are now disappearing at a rate estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times faster than the average for the history of life on earth. Taken together, these two uncertain elements prevent the global biodiversity estimate from becoming much more than an educated guess. The current best estimate is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 to 200 million species. This number, while it may be of some interest to nonscientists, isn’t of much real value to researchers. They are generally more concerned with local biodiversity. Despite the apparent enormity of the number of species that inhabit the earth as a whole, local biodiversity - the number of species found in any one habitat - fluctuates greatly as we cross the boundaries separating the ecosystems that make up the Earth’s biosphere. It reaches its highest levels on the coral reefs and in the tropical rain forests where there may be thousands of species per acre. Of course, it is this value - the measure of local biodiversity - that is most useful for anyone concerned with assessing the health of an ecosystem or protecting it from destruction. In measuring the biodiversity of a particular ecosystem, biologists are usually quite impartial when weighing the relative significance of each species. Most are assigned a value of one, the total number of species then representing the target value. However, there are two conditions under which one species may be weighted more heavily than others. This would certainly be the case for any species that by virtue of its genetic uniqueness would constitute a special loss to the global gene pool in the event of its extinction. The tuatara is a good example of just such a species. As the only surviving member of a TRƯỜNG PTTH LƯƠNG THẾ VINH Trang 4/8 - Mã đề thi 314
family of reptiles that, except for it, died out 60 million years ago, the tuatara qualifies on grounds of genetic uniqueness to be weighted more heavily in calculating the biodiversity of its habitat. A species may be accorded bonus points in the biodiversity equation for another reason as well; it may be deemed more significant by virtue of the role it plays in the ecosystem. An example of this would be the California sea otter. [1] The preferred food of this species of marine mammal is the sea urchin; a marine invertebrate, which feeds on a certain type of sea grass known as kelp. [2] Were it not for the otter’s contribution in controlling the sea urchin population, the undersea kelp forest would surely be decimated by a dramatic increase in the population of sea urchins. [3] This would remove a key supporting element – the kelp – from the habitat of many fish and invertebrate species that depend on it. [4] This, in turn, would fundamentally alter an entire undersea habitat and undoubtedly put a risk a number of different species that have adapted to its peculiar characteristics. Therefore, the behavior of the otter in actively maintaining the local diversity of species dictates that it should be assigned a higher biodiversity value. Question 51: What was the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To explain why biodiversity is essential to our survival. B. To explain the concept of biodiversity. C. To show why local biodiversity is more important than global biodiversity. D. To clarify the dangers that result from declining biodiversity. Question 52: The word “dwindling” in the passage is closest in meaning to A. extinct B. diverse C. proliferating D. diminishing Question 53: It is implied in the passage that we don’t have an accurate measure of global biodiversity because A. the number of species is constantly changing. B. populations of animals move from place to place. C. we don’t know the ecological role played by all species. D. the definition of biodiversity is not clear enough. Question 54: The word “enormity” in the passage is closest in the meaning to A. important B. quality C. vastness D. accuracy Question 55: According to the passage, the largest number of species would be found A. on the coral reefs. B. in the boundary areas between local systems. C. in the undersea kelp forests. D. in fresh water lakes and streams.

B. illustrate the special importance of a particular species. C. increase the reader’s awareness of the sea urchin’s endangered status. D. advocate the protection for the kelp forest environment.

The organization that today is known as the Bank of America did start out in America, but under quite a different name. Italian American A.P. Giannini established this bank on October 17, 1904, in a renovated saloon in San Francisco’s Italian community of North Beach under the name Bank of Italy, with immigrants and first-time bank customers comprising the majority of his first customers. During its development, Giannini’s bank survived major crises in the form of a natural disaster and a major economic upheaval that not all other banks were able to overcome. One major test for Giannini’s bank occurred on April 18, 1906, when a massive earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by a raging fire that destroyed much of the city. Giannini obtained two wagons and teams of horses, filled the wagons with the bank’s reserves, mostly in the form of gold, covered the reserves with crates of oranges, and escaped from the chaos of the city with his clients’ funds protected. In the aftermath of the disaster, Giannini’s bank was the first to resume operations. Unable to install the bank in a proper office setting, Giannini opened up shop on the Washington Street Wharf on a makeshift desk created from boards and barrels. In the period following the 1906 fire, the Bank of Italy continued to prosper and expand. By 1918 there were twenty-four branches of the Bank of Italy, and by 1928 Giannini had acquired numerous other banks, including a Bank of America located in New York City. In 1930 he consolidated all the branches of the Bank of Italy, the Bank of America in New York City, and another Bank of America that he had formed in California into the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association. A second major crisis for the bank occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Although Giannini had already retired prior to the darkest days of the Depression, he became incensed when his successor began selling off banks during the bad economic times. Giannini resumed leadership of the bank at the age of sixty-two. Under Giannini’s leadership, the bank weathered the storm of the Depression and subsequently moved into a phase of overseas development. Question 61: According to the passage, Giannini A. opened the Bank of America in 1904. B. worked in a bank in Italy. C. set up the Bank of America prior to setting up the bank of Italy.
