V. Reading

Read the text and choose the most suitable haeding from the list A-I for each
part (1-5) of the text. There are two extra headings which you do not need to use.
There is an example at the beginning.
Black rats rainforest invasion’s speeded by deforestation.

A. A valid concern E. Bad news

B. The experiment F. A place of the research
C. More food for rats G. The difference between species
D. Possible threats H. The reason for bad reputation

0. C
Cutting down trees in rainforests facilitates the spread of invasive black rats,
a study suggests. The rodents normally avoid mature forests with large trees as
they provide little in the way of cover. But researchers, writting in Biotropica, say
that logging makes rainforests more attractive for rats as fallen wood contain more
insects which they eat.

1. A
Scientists are concerned that the invading black rats will be bad news for
native mammals. Sometimes called the ship rats, these rodents have spread around
the world over the past 400 years, often causing the extinctions of native species
and spreading disease.
2. H
Much of their notoriety rests on the idea that black rats were the origin of
bubonic plague, although recent research casts doubt on that notion. Black rats
have usually avoided older forests as they contain large trees which do not provide
much in the way of ground level protection. They also tend to have leafy forest
floors which are noisy for rats to run through as they attract predators.
3. F
 This new study examined the idea that logging of trees in rainforests might
facilitate the spread of the rodents. The researchers looked at the island of Borneo
where large tracts of the natural forest have been degraded.
4. B
It had been believed that black rats were confined to urban areas in Borneo.
To test the idea that they might spread into deforested regions, the scientists
trapped rats from four different species- they then attached small spools of cotton
thread to their black s and tracked their movements.
5. G
Across the animals in the study, the researchers found that the black rats had the
strongest preference for the type of disturbed habitat associated with logging. The
increased amount of fallen wood boosted the amount of insects which the rats eat.
The logged forests also have more undergrowth which provises better cover. The
researchers believe that black rats favour these small changes far more than related
species.
