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.

The Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean are one of the natural wonders of the world. The

Galapagos are home to many rare animals, such as giant tortoises, sea birds and dolphins. The islands

first became famous in 1859 when Charles Darwin wrote about them in his book, On The Origin of

Species. When Darwin visited the islands, he found there a key to that great mystery of mysteries - the

first appearance of new life on this earth.

Today the islands belong to Ecuador, and 97% of the area is a national park. However, despite this

protection, the park is in danger. The most serious threat comes from illegal fishing, which is slowly

destroying marine life. Every day, illegal nets trap and kill sharks, pelicans and dolphins. Another threat

comes from animals brought over by people who have come to live on the islands. Dogs and cats eat

the sea birds, and rats and pigs eat turtle eggs. Although tourism is seen as a positive thing, it too has

caused problems.

Today the Galapagos is still a wonderful place, but how long will this last? The answer lies in the

attitude of everyone who can make a contribution - the Galapagos belongs to the whole world.
