G A number of forces threaten the survival of coral reef organisms, as well as the structural integrity of the reefs themselves. Many coral reefs are troubled by predatory species, bleaching, N and the effects of various human activities. [A] Certain biological factors, such as the fish and invertebrates that feed on the soft tissues of reef ẠI builders and the organisms that bore into coral rocks, may contribute to the destruction of coral reefs. One of the most destructive creatures known is Acanthaster planci, the crown-of-thorns starfish, which during the 1960s multiplied spectacularly and removed the soft tissues from large areas of many reefs in the O southwest Pacific. Acanthaster planci feeds by everting its stomach and liquifying and absorbing the tissues of the corals. By the late 1970s, it had become apparent, however, that the sudden spread G of Acanthaster planci was part of the organism’s natural life cycle and that the coral reefs could regenerate rapidly after such an infestation. [B] N A phenomenon known as bleaching also caused extensive devastation among coral reefs in the east Pacific since the early 1980s and in the Caribbean since the mid-to-late 1980s. It is called bleaching N because zooxanthellae (which are golden-brown in colour) are expelled, leaving the white coral exposed. While the cause of bleaching is not yet fully known and extensive research is under way, it is believed that YÊ the most likely factor is unusually high seawater temperatures, approximately 30°C. [C] A living coral reef may have economic potential as a major tourist attraction. By touching corals and disturbing the other animals that live there, visitors to the reef may interfere with U the community dynamics of the reef system. Since coral reefs harbour many species of fishes and other sea life, local and commercial fishing can overharvest them. In their attempts to capture the animals of the reef, CH fishers may resort to using dragnets and explosives. [D] Some coral reefs may be cloaked by excess sedimentation from terrestrial erosion. “Smothering,” as this is called, may prevent reef plants from obtaining adequate sunlight or may promote the growth of harmful algal blooms. 27. What best paraphrases the sentence: “Many coral reefs are troubled by predatory species, PT bleaching, and the effects of various human activities.”? A. Natural predators, bleaching, and human activities are responsible for the extinction of coral reefs. B. Coral reefs decline is mainly attributed to natural predators, bleaching, and human activities. TH C. Many coral reefs are struggling with natural predators, bleaching, and human activities. D. Natural predatory species, bleaching, and human activities cause diseases to many coral reefs. 28. According to paragraph 2, which factor may destroy coral reefs? A. Coral rocks B. Reef builders C. Organisms D. Invertebrates 29. What is the word “absorbing” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to? A. taking up B. taking in C. taking over D. taking on /2  30.
