Question 46: Thunder occurs as an electrical charge passes through air, causing the heated air to

planet at any one time, can only be estimated; and only very roughly estimated at that. Undoubtedly,
many species remain to be discovered. Some of these, such as insects and microscopic life, are
small enough to have escaped our notice, while others dwell in areas we have only begun to explore;
the species inhabiting the deepest ocean depths, for example. It must also be remembered that we
are in the midst of a mass extinction event. Species are now disappearing at a rate estimated to be
between 1,000 and 10,000 times faster than the average for the history of life on earth. Taken
together, these two uncertain elements prevent the global biodiversity estimate from becoming
much more than an educated guess. The current best estimate is somewhere in the neighborhood of
100 to 200 million species.
This number, while it may be of some interest to nonscientists, isn’t of much real value to
researchers. They are generally more concerned with local biodiversity. Despite the apparent
enormity of the number of species that inhabit the earth as a whole, local biodiversity - the number
of species found in any one habitat - fluctuates greatly as we cross the boundaries separating the
ecosystems that make up the Earth’s biosphere. It reaches its highest levels on the coral reefs and in
the tropical rain forests where there may be thousands of species per acre.
Of course, it is this value - the measure of local biodiversity - that is most useful for anyone
concerned with assessing the health of an ecosystem or protecting it from destruction. In measuring
the biodiversity of a particular ecosystem, biologists are usually quite
impartial when weighing the
relative significance of each species. Most are assigned a value of one, the total number of species
then representing the target value. However, there are two conditions under which one species may
be weighted more heavily than others. This would certainly be the case for any species that by virtue
of its genetic uniqueness would constitute a special loss to the global gene pool in the event of its
extinction. The tuatara is a good example of just such a species. As the only surviving member of a
TRƯỜNG PTTH LƯƠNG THẾ VINH Trang 5/8 - Mã đề thi 314
family of reptiles that, except for it, died out 60 million years ago, the tuatara qualifies on grounds
of genetic uniqueness to be weighted more heavily in calculating the biodiversity of its habitat.
A species may be accorded bonus points in the biodiversity equation for another reason as
well; it may be deemed more significant by virtue of the role it plays in the ecosystem. An example
of this would be the California sea otter. [1] The preferred food of this species of marine mammal is

biodiversity?
A. The special function a particular species plays in an ecosystem.
B. The number of species present in an ecosystem.
C. The genetic uniqueness of the species within an ecosystem.
D. The size of the area an ecosystem covers.
Question 57: The author mentioned the sea urchin in the last paragraph in order to
A. illustrate the richness of life in California waters.
B. illustrate the special importance of a particular species.
C. increase the reader’s awareness of the sea urchin’s endangered status.
D. advocate the protection for the kelp forest environment.
Question 58: The word “impartial” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. neutral B. subjective C. theoretical D. uncertain

A. Local biodiversity may change, but global biodiversity does not.
B. All species have the same significance when considering biodiversity.
C. The concept of biodiversity is of little value to ecologists.
D. The earth is experiencing a reduction in global biodiversity.
