Coral reefs are underwater structures made from calcium carbonate secreted by corals. Coral reefs are colonies of tiny living animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, which in turn consist of polyps that cluster in groups.
Coral reefs
A
Coral reefs are estimated to cover 284,300km2 just under 0.1% of the oceans' surface area, about half the area of France. The Indo-Pacific region accounts for 91.9% of this total area. Southeast Asia accounts for 32.3% of that figure, while the Pacific including Australia accounts for 40.8%. Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs account for 7.6%. Yet often called “rainforests of the sea", coral reefs
相關(guān)文章內(nèi)容: form some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They provide a home for 25% of all marine species, including fish, mollusks (軟體動(dòng)物 ), worms, crustaceans( 甲殼類(lèi)動(dòng)物 ), echinoderms( 棘皮動(dòng)物 ), sponges, tunicates and other cnidarians. Paradoxically, coral reefs flourish even though they are surrounded by ocean waters that provide few nutrients. They are most commonly found at shallow depths in tropical waters, but deep water and cold water corals also exist on smaller scales in other areas. Although corals exist both in temperate and tropical waters, shallow-water reefs form only in a zone extending from 30°N to 30°S of the equator. Deep water coral can exist at greater depths and colder temperature sat much higher latitudes, as far north as Norway. Coral reefs are rare along the American and African west coasts. This is due primarily to upwelling and strong cold coastal currents that reduce water temperatures in these areas(respectively the Peru, Benguela and Canary streams). Corals are seldom found along the coastline of South Asia from the eastern tip of India (Madras) to the Bangladesh( 孟加拉國(guó)) and Myanmar borders. They are also rare along the coast around northeastern South America and Bangladesh due to the freshwater release from the Amazon and Ganges Rivers(恒河), respectively.
B
Coral reefs deliver ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries and coastline protection. The global economic value of coral reefs has been estimated at as much as $US375 billion per year. Coral reefs protect shorelines by absorbing wave energy(潮汐能), and many small islands would not exist without their reef to protect them.
C
The value of reefs in biodiverse (生物多樣的) regions can be even higher. In parts of Indonesia and the Caribbean where tourism is the main use, reefs are estimated to be worth US$1 million per square kilometer, based on the cost of maintaining sandy beaches and the value of attracting snorkelers(浮潛者) and scuba divers(水肺潛水). Meanwhile, a recent study of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia found that the reef is worth more to the country as an intact ecosystem than an extractive reserve for fishing. Each year more than 1.8 million tourists visit the reef, spending an estimated AU$4.3 billion (Australian dollars) on reef-related industries from diving to boat rental to posh island resort stays. In the Caribbean, says UNEP, the net annual benefits from diver tourism was US$2 billion in 2000 with US$625 million spent directly on diving on reefs. Further, reef tourism is important source of employment, especially for some of the world's poorest people. UNEP says that of the estimated 30 million small-scale fishers in the developing world, most are dependent to a greater or lesser extent on coral reefs. In the Philippines, for example, more than one million small-scale fishers depend directly on coral reefs for their livelihoods. The report estimates that reef fisheries(漁場(chǎng)) were worth between $15,000 and$150,000 per square kilometer a year, while fish caught for aquariums (水族館) were worth $500 a kilogram against $6 for fish caught as food. The aquarium fish export industry supports around 50,000 people and generates some US$5.5 million a year in Sri Lank along.
D
Unfortunately, coral reefs are dying around the world. In particular, coral mining, agricultural and urban runoff(入水), pollution(organic and inorganic), disease, and the digging of canals and access into islands and bays are localized threats to coral ecosystems(生態(tài)系統(tǒng)). Broader threats are sea temperature rise, sea level rise and pH changes from ocean acidification( 酸 化 ), all associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Some current fishing practices are destructive and unsustainable. These include cyanide fishing, overfishing and blast fishing. Although cyanide(氰化物毒) fishing supplies live reef fish for the tropical aquarium market, most fish caught using this method are sold in restaurants, primarily in Asia, where live fish are prized for their freshness. To catch fish with cyanide, fishers dive down to the reef and squirt cyanide in coral crevices and on the fast-moving fish, to stun the fish making them easy to catch. Overfishing is another leading cause for coral reef degradation. Often, too many fish are taken from one reef to sustain a population in that area. Poor fishing practices, such as banging on the reef with sticks(muro-ami), destroy coral formations that normally function as fish habitat. In some instances, people fish with explosives(爆炸物) (blast fishing), which blast apart the surrounding coral.
E
Tourist resorts that empty their sewage directly into the water surrounding coral reefs contribute to coral reef degradation. Wastes kept in poorly maintained septic tanks can also leak into surrounding ground water, eventually seeping out to the reefs. Careless boating, diving, snorkeling and fishing can also damage coral reefs. Whenever people grab, kick, and walk on, or stir up sediment(沉淀物) in the reefs, they contribute to coral reef destruction. Corals are also harmed or killed when people drop anchors on them or when people collect coral.
F
To find answers for these problems, scientists and researchers study the various factors that impact reefs. The list includes the ocean's role as a carbon dioxide sink, atmospheric changes, ultraviolet light(紫外線(xiàn)光) , ocean acidification, viruses, impacts of dust storms carrying agents to far flung reefs, pollutants, algal blooms and others. Reefs are threatened well beyond coastal areas. General estimates show approximately 10%of the world’s coral reefs are dead. About 60% of the world's reefs are at risk due to destructive, human-related activities. The threat to the health of reefs is particularly strong in Southeast Asia, where 80% of reefs are endangered.
G
In Australia, the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁) is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, and is the subject of much legislation, including a biodiversity action plan. Inhabitants of Ahus Island, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea, have followed a generations-old practice of restricting fishing in six areas of their reef lagoon(環(huán)礁湖). Their cultural traditions allow line fishing, but not net or spear fishing. The result is both the biomass and individual fish sizes are significantly larger than in places where fishing is unrestricted.

雅思口語(yǔ)趨勢(shì)分析和備考指導(dǎo) :
本次考試迎來(lái)了 2019 年 1 月的第三次考試。縱觀這次考試,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)口語(yǔ)各部分基礎(chǔ)題保持不變。但是因?yàn)樯婕靶骂}季,所以在口語(yǔ)各個(gè)部分的話(huà)題考查中多了不少新題的出現(xiàn)。接下來(lái)我們一起來(lái)分析此次口語(yǔ)考試的基本情況。
Part 1:
該部分的內(nèi)容和之前幾個(gè)季度的考題相比,1 月更新的題型具有一定的難度。筆者在授課過(guò)程中,很多考生都明顯感覺(jué)到 part 1 的新考題比之前的考題內(nèi)容難度有所增加。特別是對(duì)于一些比較抽象的話(huà)題回答很多考生會(huì)略顯吃力。例如 patience, sky, sharing, crowded places 等 話(huà)題就給不少考生造成了一定的困難。
Part 2:
筆者發(fā)現(xiàn)該部分話(huà)題不少題目還是從幾年前的舊題中所提取。其實(shí)第二部分的口語(yǔ)話(huà)題差不多在 300-400 個(gè)話(huà)題描述范圍之間,很多每個(gè)季度所謂的新題實(shí)際上是從之前考過(guò)的舊題中抽出來(lái)重新進(jìn)行考察。所以,如果考生準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間比較充分的話(huà)便可以去大致瀏覽下題庫(kù),然后把相對(duì)有難度的話(huà)題找出來(lái)進(jìn)行逐一練習(xí)。
Part 3:
第三部分的口語(yǔ)一如既往,始終都是整場(chǎng)口語(yǔ)考試中較難的部分。很多考生往往拿該部分話(huà)題沒(méi)轍。筆者建議大家如果口語(yǔ)要求在 6 分左右,則重心可放在 part 1 and part 2。如果考生的目標(biāo)分?jǐn)?shù)是在 6.5.及以上,則建議大家可以多花點(diǎn)心思在 part 3 的練習(xí)上。但是前提是考生基本已經(jīng)具備正常的溝通交流能力才行。
