Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born in the USA in 1935. She became
interested in the world’s oceans from an early age. As a child, she liked to stand on the beach for hours and look at the
sea, wondering what it must be like under the surface.
When she was 16, she finally got a chance to make her first dive, which motivated her to become an underwater
explorer. Since then, she has spent more than 6,500 hours under water, and has led more than seventy expeditions
worldwide. She has also made the deepest dive ever, reaching a record – breaking depth of 381 meters.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the caption of the first all- female team to live
under water. The team spent two weeks in an underwater “house”. The research they carried out showed the damage
that pollution was causing to marine life, and especially to coral reefs. Her team also studied the problem of over-
fishing. Fishing methods meant that people were catching too many fish, Earle warned, and many species were in
danger of becoming extinct.
Since then she has written several books and magazine articles in which she suggests ways of reducing the
damage that is being done to the world’s oceans. One way, she believes, is to reply on fish farms for seafood, and

reduce the amount of fishing that is done out at sea. Although she no longer eats seafood herself, she realizes the
importance it plays in our diets, It would be wrong to tell people they should stop eating fish from the sea, she says.

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.
Urbanization refers to the process through which cities grow and expand as more people move from rural to
urban areas. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic opportunities, educational facilities,
and healthcare services, which often attract individuals seeking better living standards. As cities become more
populated, they undergo significant transformations in infrastructure, including housing, transportation, and public
services.
The rise in urban populations can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side, urbanization
can stimulate economic development, innovation, and cultural exchange. It often brings improvements in living
standards and provides better access to services and amenities. However, rapid urban growth can also strain existing
infrastructure, leading to issues such as overcrowding, pollution, and inadequate public services. These challenges can
impact the quality of life in urban areas and require careful planning and management.
Effective urban planning is crucial to mitigating the negative effects of urbanization. This includes creating
sustainable infrastructure, managing resources efficiently, and ensuring equitable access to services for all residents.
By addressing these challenges, cities can harness the benefits of urbanization while improving the overall quality of
urban life.
