15. Now, listen to the tape.
Endangered species are plant and animal species which are in danger of extinction.
Over 8,300 plant species and 7,200 animal species around the globe are threatened with
extinction, and many thousands more become extinct each year before biologists can
identify them.
The primary causes of species extinction are habitat destruction, commercial
exploitation and pollution. The drainage of wetlands, cutting of forests, urbanization and
road and dam construction have destroyed or seriously damaged natural habitats. Since
the 1600s, worldwide commercial exploitation of animals for food and other products
has seriously reduced the number of rare species. Toxic chemicals in the air and land,
contaminated water and increased water temperatures have also driven many species to
the verge of extinction.
Plant and animal extinction leads to a loss of biodiversity. Maintaining biodiversity is
important for us in many ways. For example, humans depend on species diversity to
have food, clean air and water, and fertile soil for agriculture. In addition, we benefit
greatly from the many medicines and other products that biodiversity provides.
Different conservation efforts have been made in order to save endangered species. The
Red List a global list of endangered and vulnerable animal species has been
introduced to raise peoples awareness of conservation needs. Governments have
enacted laws to protect wildlife from commercial trade and overhunting. A number of
wildlife habitat reserves have been established so that a wide range of endangered
species can have a chance to survive and develop.
16. Task 1. The nouns in column A all appear in the passage. Match each of them with
a suitable definition in column B.
A B
1. Extinction a. the existence of a large number of
different kinds of animals and plants which
make a balanced environment.
2. Habitat b. the act of preventing something from
being lost, asted, damaged or destroyed.
3. Biodiversity c. a situation in which a plant, an animal,
away of life, etc. stops existing.
4. Conservation d. the natural environment in which a plant
or animal lives.
Some new words:
1. Balance /b脱lns/ (v): lm cho thng b畉ng, (n): s畛 c但n b畉ng.
2. Prevent sb/ sth from + V-ing : ngn ch畉n, ngn c畉n.
17. Task 2. Choose A,B,C or D to complete the following sentences about the reading
passage.
1. The number of species around the globe threatened with
extinction is over_____ .
A 7,200 B 8,300 C 1,600 D 15,000
2. Which of the following in NOT mentioned as a primary
cause of species extinction?
A Pollution B Natural selection
C Habitat destruction D Overexploitation
3. The Red List is a special book that provides names of______
animals.
A vulnerable and endangered B hunted
C endangered D extinct
18. 4. The development of wildlife habitat reserves helps_______ .
A save a large number of endangered species
B make a list of endangered species
C enact laws to protect wildlife
D develop commercial trade and overhunting
5. The best title for the passage is________ .
A Endangered Species and Conservation Measures
Its
B Endanger Species and their Benefits
wrong!!!
Its
C Its
The Global Extinction wrong!!!

wrong!!!
D Endangered Species Extinction: Cause and Conservation
Measure
19. Task 3. Find evidence in the passage to support these statements.
1. Pollution is one of the main cause of species extinction.
Toxic chemicals in the air and land, contaminated water and increased water temperatures
have also driven many species to the verge of extinction.
2. Species diversity has provided humans with so many essential things.
Its paragrapgh 3: Plant and animal extinction leads to a loss of biodiversity. Maintaining
biodiversity is important for us in many ways. For example, humans depend on species
diversity to have food, clean air and water, and fertile soil for agriculture. In addition, we
benefit greatly from the many medicines and other products that biodiversity provides.
3. There are a number of ways to help save endangered species.
Its paragraph 4: Different conservation efforts have been made in order to save endangered
species. The Red List a global list of endangered and vulnerable animal species has
been introduced to raise peoples awareness of conservation needs. Governments have
enacted laws to protect wildlife from commercial trade and overhunting. A number of
wildlife habitat reserves have been established so that a wide range of endangered species
can have a chance to survive and develop.
