Biological diversity has become widely recognized as acritical conservation issue only in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments isjolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments Question The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that _

Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom's family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal's first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed

(12)biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments Question 44 The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that _
A the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is unknown

D Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems. Question 47 What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The impact of human activities on Earth's ecosystems. B The variety of species found in tropical rain forests.
C The time required for species to adapt to new environments. D The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Question 48 The word "jolting" is closest in meaning to .
A shocking B illuminating C predicted D unknown
Question 49 The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world's ecosystem EXCEPT
A destruction of the tropical rain forests B habitat destruction in wetlands C damage to marine ecosystems
D the introduction of new varieties of plant species
Question 50 According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from changes caused by humans in that changes caused by humans
A affect fewer ecosystems B are occurring at a much faster rate C are reversible D are less devastating to most species

Food insecurity plays an important role too Nepalese families that not have enough food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19
Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom's family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal's first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Biological diversity has become widely recognized as acritical conservation issue only in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments isjolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments Question 19 With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?
A The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress. B Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy. C Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems.
D Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems.
Question 20 According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from changes caused by humans in that changes caused by humans
A are reversible B are occurring at a much faster rate C affect fewer ecosystems D are less devastating to most species Question 21 The word "critical" is closest in meaning to .
A complicated B essential C negative D interesting Question 22 The word "jolting" is closest in meaning to .
A unknown B illuminating C predicted D shocking Question 23 What does the passage mainly discuss?
(23)D The time required for species to adapt to new environments.
Question 24 The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world's ecosystem EXCEPT
A habitat destruction in wetlands B damage to marine ecosystems
C the introduction of new varieties of plant species D destruction of the tropical rain forests
Question 25 The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that _
A not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity
B actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species' extinction C Earth's climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs' extinction
D the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is unknown
