Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born in the USA in 1935. She became
interested in the world’s oceans from an early age. As a child, she liked to stand on the beach for hours and look at the
sea, wondering what it must be like under the surface.
When she was 16, she finally got a chance to make her first dive, which motivated her to become an underwater
explorer. Since then, she has spent more than 6,500 hours under water, and has led more than seventy expeditions
worldwide. She has also made the deepest dive ever, reaching a record – breaking depth of 381 meters.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the caption of the first all- female team to live
under water. The team spent two weeks in an underwater “house”. The research they carried out showed the damage that
pollution was causing to marine life, and especially to coral reefs. Her team also studied the problem of over- fishing.
Fishing methods meant that people were catching too many fish, Earle warned, and many species were in danger of
becoming extinct.
Since then she has written several books and magazine articles in which she suggests ways of reducing the damage
that is being done to the world’s oceans. One way, she believes, is to reply on fish farms for seafood, and reduce the
amount of fishing that is done out at sea. Although she no longer eats seafood herself, she realizes the importance it
plays in our diets, It would be wrong to tell people they should stop eating fish from the sea, she says. However, they
need to reduce the impact they are having on the ocean’s supplies.
Question 11. According to the last paragraph, Earle believes that _______.
A. It is a good idea to reduce fishing at sea
B. More books about the world’s oceans should be written
C. Seafood is not important to human diets
D. Fish farms increase the damage done to the oceans

A. the damage B. the research C. the team D. the house

A. explorer B. teacher C. biologist D. researcher
Question 14. The word “motivated” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. disappointed B. frightened C. approved D. inspired
Question 15. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Sylvia Earle, underwater hero B. Sylvia Earle, first female diver
C. A study on marine species D. A new book on coral reefs

Urbanization refers to the process through which cities grow and expand as more people move from rural to urban
areas. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic opportunities, educational facilities, and
healthcare services, which often attract individuals seeking better living standards. As cities become more
populated, they undergo significant transformations in infrastructure, including housing, transportation, and public
services.
The rise in urban populations can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side, urbanization
can stimulate economic development, innovation, and cultural exchange. It often brings improvements in living
standards and provides better access to services and amenities. However, rapid urban growth can also strain existing
infrastructure, leading to issues such as overcrowding, pollution, and inadequate public services. These challenges can
impact the quality of life in urban areas and require careful planning and management.
Effective urban planning is crucial to mitigating the negative effects of urbanization. This includes creating
sustainable infrastructure, managing resources efficiently, and ensuring equitable access to services for all residents. By
