READING
6. Circle the correct answers to complete the following short passage. (4 marks)

Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau was a French naval captain who became a marine ecologist, documentary
film maker, author, and ocean scientist. He was a pioneer of ocean exploration and discovery. He found
worldwide fame in the 1970s as the captain of the ship Calypso that sailed around the world monitoring
marine wildlife and making scientific observations and discoveries. But it was the films he made of their
adventures on board the Calypso that made him a household name. He developed new underwater camera
techniques that brought the marine world to life, and these documentaries became internationally famous.
At that time, no one really knew the effects that pollution and coastal development had been having on
marine wildlife. The work done by Cousteau and his team brought the fate of the world’s oceans to the
attention of the world. Throughout his life he made more than 115 TV shows and wrote more than 50
books.

Cousteau worked with such enthusiasm and love for the marine world that his TV shows rapidly
became extremely successful. As a result, his work started a marine conservation movement and groups
started to appear in different countries. Soon the world became aware of the destruction people were
causing to marine habitats and animals like whales and dolphins. Without his work, we might not have
some of the marine species that we do today. He set up a number of conservation groups, but his passion
was the study of marine life and the discovery of new lives and new worlds under the ocean.

Cousteau died in 1997, aged 87. He had dedicated his life to marine research and conservation, and
he left an incredibly successful legacy that continues today.
