READING PART ONE Penguins show signs of stress A new argument has been put forward as to whether penguins are disturbed by the presence of tourists in Antarctica. Previous research by scientists from Keil University in Germany monitored Adelie penguins and noted that the birds’ heart rates increased dramatically at the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new research using an artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates, disputes this. Scientists from Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge say that a slow moving human who does not approach the nest too closely is not perceived as a threat by penguins. The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However, tour operators have continued to insist that their activities do not adversely affect wildlife in Antarctica, saying they encourage nondisruptive behavior in tourists, and that the decline in penguin numbers is caused by other factors. Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studying penguin behavior towards humans. “A nesting penguin will react very differently to a person rapidly and closely approaching the nest,” says Simon. “First they exhibit large and prolonged heart rate changes and then they often flee the nest leaving it open for predators to fly in and remove eggs or chicks.” The artificial egg, specially developed for the project, monitored both the parent who had been “disturbed” when the egg was placed in the nest and the other parent as they both took it in turns to guard the nest. However, Boris Culik, who monitored the Adelie penguins, believes that Nimon’s findings do not invalidate his own research. He points out that species behave differently – and Nimon’s work was with Gentoo penguins. Nimon and her colleagues believe that Culik’s research was methodologically flawed because the monitoring of penguins’ responses entailed capturing and restraining the birds and fitting them with heartrate transmitters. Therefore, argues Nimon, it would not be surprising if they became stressed on seeing a human subsequently. Taken from Insight into IELTS (Cambridge)

THREATS TO OUR WORLD We have spent thousands of years fighting for our survival. Yet, now we have discovered that our planet is under threat, and, to make matters worse, it’s our entire fault. The rainforests are dying, rare plant and animal species are disappearing, rivers and seas are being contaminated, crops are failing to grow, people are dying of hunger and the air is being polluted. It’s time we woke up to these problems and started repairing the damage. One of the major problems is the destruction of the rainforests in South America. They are home to half the world’s species and to millions of people. A Moreover, the rainforests clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen. The trees are being cut down for paper or to make room for cattle farms. As a result, birds and animals lose their homes and die. This destruction is also bringing about changes in the climate, air pollution, flooding, drought and famine. If we continue to burn and cut down the rainforests as we are doing now, the earth will never be the same again. Another big problem is water pollution. Do you like swimming in the sea or drinking a cool glass of water on a hot day? B Factories are polluting our rivers and lakes with dangerous chemicals. Oil tankers are releasing thick, black oil into our oceans. Tons and tons of industrial domestic waste are poured into our seas. Consequently, sea life is threatened with extinction. Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and factories in and around our cities are giving out dangerous fumes. In the past few years, more and more people than ever before have developed allergies and breathing problems. If we don’t do something now, our cities will become impossible to live in. Fortunately it’s not too late to solve these problems.C We have the time, the money and even the technology to prepare the way for a better, cleaner and safer future. We can plant trees and adopt animals. We can create parks for endangered species. We can put pressure on those in power to take action D. 1. The following sentence has been removed from the text: These simple pleasures may soon become a thing of the past. Select the part (A, B, C or D) where the sentence should be located The sentence These simple pleasures may soon become a thing of the past should be located in part: B 2. Read the text again and choose the correct answer. 1.The major environmental problems in the world are: Destruction of the rainforests, water pollution and air pollution.
2.Why is it important not to destroy the rainforest? Because this place is home to lots of species and people.
3.Who is responsible for sea life being threatened with extinction? Industries and oil companies.
4.How is air pollution affecting us? People are developing allergies and breathing problems.
