Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to
43.
Plastic is everywhere. It’s incredibly useful and our life wouldn’t be the same without it. Now,
you probably don’t throw anything into the sea, but did you know 10% of all the plastic in the world
ends up there? It comes from ships, from litter on beaches, the wind carries it from land and rivers
take it out to sea.
In fact, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean there is an enormous area of floating plastic called the
Great Garbage patch. Nobody knows exactly how big it is, but some people say it’s the size of the USA!
It’s the world’s largest rubbish dump. Why does it happen? The strong ocean currents push
everything into a huge vortex of rubbish that stays in one place. Everything that is made of plastic
(balls, tyres, syringes, toothbrushes, toys, bottle tops, plastic bags, etc.) ends up in this huge garbage
patch.
Charles Moor, the oceanographer who discovered it in 1997, believes it contains 100 million
tons of plastic. This plastic is dangerous for marine life because fish swallow it, birds feed it to their
babies, and animals like sea turtles get trapped in plastic nets. In fact, each year about 1 million sea
birds and 100,000 marine animals die because of plastic.
The patch also reduces the amount of microscopic plankton that fish can find to eat. This is
because it contains 3 kilos of plastic for each half kilo of plankton. But the most harmful plastic is
invisible, because ocean waves and sunlight break up the plastic into tiny pieces. These particles are
easily swallowed and they can carry man-made chemicals, which get into the food chain. ‘What goes
into the ocean goes into animals and onto your dinner plate,’ says Dr Jon Erikson, a marine researcher.
The Environmentalist David de Rothschild took a 12,000 mile journey across the Pacific Ocean
in a boat made of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles called the Plastiki. He wanted everyone to know
about the dangers of plastic and to show practical ways to recycle. We can all do something to help.
Use less plastic, recycle more and pick up litter!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each ofthe questionsfrom 44 to 50.
Numbers of African black rhinos in the wild have risen by several hundred, a rare boost in the
conservation of a species driven to near extinction by poaching. Black rhinos are still in grave danger
but the small increase – an annual rate of 2.5% over six years, has swollen the population from 4,845
in 2012 to an estimated 5,630 in 2018, giving hope that efforts put into saving the species are paying
off. The painstaking attempts to save the black rhino have included moving some individuals from
established groups to new locations, increasing the species’ range and ensuring viable breeding
populations, as well as protecting them through stronger law enforcement efforts. Numbers of all of
the three subspecies of black rhino are now improving.
However, the outlook for the other African rhino species is still troubled, according to the
update to the red list published on Thursday. White rhinos are more numerous in Africa but
categorised by the IUCN as near-threatened. The outlook for them has worsened in recent years,
driven by high levels of poaching in South Africa’s Kruger national park. White rhinos have larger
horns than their black counterparts, making them more attractive to poachers, and they are easier to
find as they prefer more open habitats. Although white rhino numbers grew between 2007 and 2012,
the numbers of the southern white rhino subspecies fell by 15% during that period, from an estimated
21,300 to 18,000, cancelling out previous growth.
Poaching levels appear to have declined again in the last few years, down from a peak in 2015
when an average of 3.7 rhinos were killed every day. Estimates for 2019 suggest poaching has
declined further, owing to governments taking stronger measures against the organised crime gangs
behind poaching. However, the impacts of the coronavirus crisis are also worrying experts, as the halt
to tourism will reduce resources for conservation. “The impact of Covid-19 on global tourism is likely
to have significant negative impacts on private commercial wildlife operations and state national
parks and game reserves that conserve rhino,” said Emslie. “Those in the field paying for all the
conservation work on the ground may need more financial support so that they can maintain current
efforts despite the virus.”
The costs of keeping rhinos safe have risen greatly in the last decade, however, and live sale
prices have fallen, reducing incentives for private landowners and communities to keep rhinos. About
half of white rhinos and nearly 40% of black rhinos are on private land or land managed by
communities. If the rhinos are viewed as a cost, that will further hamper efforts to protect them.
