VIII. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Along the eastern coast of Australia is one of the most fascinating areas of the natural world – the Great Barrier
Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is more than 2,000 kilometers long, but it isn’t really one long reef. It is actually
made up of about 3,000 separate coral reef.
The Great Barrier Reef is like a large city under the sea filled with many species of marine life. More than 2,000
species of fish inhabit it. There are also about 400 different species of coral and 500 species of sea weed. The fish
include several kinds of sharks. The most common one is the blacktip reef shark. There are several kinds of
poisonous jellyfish, and there are poisonous snakes too.
Some animals on the reef are dangerous to people, but people are even more dangerous to the reef. Agriculture in
Australia has caused water pollution, and this has already killed some areas of the reef. Divers cause damage
when they take bits of coral from the reef, or when they stand on the reef. If humans don’t learn to respect and
protect natural treasures like the Great Barrier Reef, these treasures could one day disappear from the earth.

A. Ocean pollution B. Dangers on a reef
C. An interesting part of the world D. Different kinds of marine animals.
2. About how long is the Great Barrier Reef?
A. 500 kilometers B. 2,000 kilometers C. 3,000 kilometers D. 4,000 kilometers
3. What causes water pollution?

A. There are dangerous animals. B. It’s too far from the coast.
