Section 4. READING
Part 1. 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.
Coral reefs, which you can find on the coasts of most continents and around many islands,
are an important part of the ocean environment. A coral reef is actually a living thing. Small animals,
polyps, make a hard case around their bodies. When they die, the hard case remains, and new
polyps build their cases on top of the old ones. Over thousands of years, these animals build a coral
reef.
Coral reefs are important for many reasons. They provide a home for about 25% of all the
life in the ocean. Small fish gather around the reefs because they can hide in the reef. They also eat
the plants in the coral reef. Coral reefs also serve as hunting areas for larger fish, who eat the
smaller fish. Without the reefs, these fish would have no food. Coral reefs are also important
because they protect the beaches. The coral reef makes the waves smaller by taking some of the
energy out of the waves. Without the reefs, the waves could destroy the beach.
Many reefs around the world are in danger because of people. Pollution, too much fishing,
and too many boats can destroy the coral reefs. We should work harder to protect the reefs
because they will take thousands of years to replace.

A. Waves make them B. They are made from the bodies of dead polyps
C. Islands make them D. Small fish make them to hide in

A. Half B. One quarter C. One third D. One tenth

A. too many people B. pollution C. too many boats D. too much fishing

A. live B. make C. form again D. die

A. coral reefs protect the beaches B. small fish can hunt larger fish
C. the waves are smaller there D. they can find smaller fish to eat
