Read the following passage and mark A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.
An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.
The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably by sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some presentation there.
To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.
Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage?
A. Ocean life is highly adaptive.
B. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants.
C. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats.
D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants.

Đoạn văn đề cập sự đa dạng cách loài ở biển, được so sánh với các loài ở rừng => nhằm mục đích khuyến khích mọi người nên bao tồn các loài ở đại dương và môi trường sống của chúng.
Dịch bài đọc:
Trùng hợp với những lo ngại về sự mất mát nhanh chóng của các loài và môi trường sống là sự đánh giá ngày càng tăng về tầm quan trọng của đa dạng sinh học, số lượng loài trong một hệ sinh thái cụ thể, với sức khỏe của trái đất và con người. Phần lớn đã được viết về sự đa dạng của các sinh vật trên cạn, đặc biệt là các sinh cảnh rừng mưa nhiệt đới đặc biệt phong phú. Tuy nhiên, tương đối ít nói về sự đa dạng của sự sống trên biển mặc dù các hệ thống rạn san hô có thể so sánh với rừng mưa về sự phong phú của sự sống.
Một người ngoài hành tinh khám phá Trái đất có lẽ sẽ ưu tiên cho những kẻ thống trị của hành tinh - đặc điểm đặc biệt nhất - đại dương. Con người có thiên hướng về đất mà đôi khi ngăn cản việc kiểm tra các vấn đề toàn cầu. Nhìn từ xa, rất dễ dàng để nhận ra các vùng đất chỉ chiếm một phần ba bề mặt Trái Đất. Cho rằng hai phần ba bề mặt Trái đất là nước và sinh vật biển sống ở tất cả các cấp của đại dương, tổng không gian sống ba chiều của đại dương có lẽ lớn hơn 100 lần so với đất và chứa hơn 90 phần trăm sự sống trên trái đất mặc dù đại dương có ít loài khác biệt.
Thực tế là một nửa số loài đã biết được cho là sống trong các khu rừng mưa của thế giới dường như không đáng ngạc nhiên, khi xem xét một số lượng lớn các loài côn trùng bao gồm phần lớn các loài. Một nhà khoa học đã tìm thấy nhiều loài kiến khác nhau chỉ trong một cây từ rừng mưa. Trong khi tất cả các loài đều khác biệt với mọi loài khác, gen của chúng hạn chế chúng là côn trùng và có đặc điểm tương tự với 750.000 loài côn trùng. Nếu các loại cơ bản, rộng như phyla và các lớp được nhấn mạnh hơn sự khác biệt giữa các loài, thì sự đa dạng lớn nhất của sự sống là không thể nghi ngờ bằng đường biển. Gần như tất cả các loại thực vật và động vật chính đều hiện diện ở đó.
Để đánh giá đầy đủ sự đa dạng và phong phú của sự sống trên biển, nó giúp "nghĩ nhỏ". Mỗi thìa nước đại dương, vào khoảng 100 đến 100.000 tế bào vi khuẩn cộng với các loại thực vật và động vật vi mô, bao gồm ấu trùng của các sinh vật từ bọt biển và san hô đến sao biển và trai và nhiều hơn nữa.

Read the following text and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space.
The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail.
