II. Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.
Polar habitats cover the top and bottom of planet Earth at the North and South Poles. The North Pole is
surrounded by the Arctic Ocean. There isn’t any land here, just a group of ; continually shifting ice sheets. Parts of
Canada and Greenland are near the North Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. This area has land, but it’s
completely covered with a layer of ice that’s almost 3 miles thick.
The polar regions have two seasons: summer and winter. In the summer, the sun shines 24 hours a day, but
it never gets high enough above the horizon to warm things up, so even summers are pretty cold. It’s dark all winter
because the sun doesn’t rise during those months of the year. Fierce continuous winds make it feel even colder.
It’s much too cold and dry for trees to grow in most areas of the Arctic, and there is no room for their roots,
because just under the surface of the ground there is always a layer of ice, called permafrost. You won’t find trees in
Antarctica, but some types of small shrubs, lichens, mosses, and algae are able to grow in the harsh climate.
Polar bears and arctic foxes are adapted to the extreme weather of the Arctic region. Walruses and humpback
whales live in the Arctic ocean. Several kinds of penguins, including the emperor penguin, live in Antarctica, and so
do walruses and narwhals.
A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
1. The North Pole has mainly land and the South Pole has mainly ice sheets. ______
2. Summer in the polar habitats is hot because the sun shines 24 hours a day. ______
3. During winter, the polar habitats are dark because there is no sun. ______
4. It’s often colder in the winter because of the continuous winds. ______
5. Trees cannot grow in the South Pole, but some other types of vegetation can. ______
6. Polar bears and penguins are the only two fauna that can get adapted to the polar habitats. ______
B. Choose the correct answers.
1. According to the first paragraph, the North Pole _______.
a. includes Canada and Greenland b. is located on Antarctica
c. has ice that’s almost three miles thick d. has a lot of shifting ice sheets
2. The word “horizon” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.
a. sea level b. skyline c. ice sheet d. the Earth
3. Why can’t trees grow in the Arctic?
a. Because the permafrost prevents the roots from growing.
b. Because the sun doesn’t rise most of the time.
c. Because shrubs and lichens grow instead of trees.
d. Because the winds make the weather even colder.
4. What animal can be found in both the North and South Poles?
a. Polar bears b. Emperor penguins c. Humpback whales d. Walruses
5. Which of the following sentences is NOT true about the polar habitats?
a. There is land covered with ice in the South Pole.
b. There are other types of penguins besides the emperor penguins in the South Pole.
c. The polar habitats have four seasons just like other parts of the world.

HABITAT LOSS
A hundred years ago, jaguars ranged from the southwestern United States to Argentina, in South America.
Today their territory has shrunk by more than half, and they live mostly in the Amazon rainforest. And jaguars aren’t
the only animals losing their homes - according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, habitat loss is
the main threat to about 85 percent of all endangered plant and animal species.
Tropical rainforests cover only about 7 percent of Earth’s land, but they’re home to an estimated half of all
known plant and animal species. Most experts agree that about 80,000 acres disappear every day when trees are cut
down for lumber and land is cleared for farms. Trees also play an important role in absorbing the carbon dioxide
that contributes to climate change. Fewer forests means that more greenhouse gases remain trapped in the
atmosphere.
Grasslands, underwater habitats, and wetlands are also at risk of habitat loss. For instance, the World Wildlife
Fund estimates that about half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared in the last hundred years due to being
drained for farmland or other industries. That means less space for animals to feed, breed, and raise their young.
Finding a balance between what humans and animals need will help prevent habitat destruction. Some
scientists think that if we put aside half of Earth’s land and water for nature, we could save up to 90 percent of all
species. In the meantime, your everyday actions can build a better planet.
A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
1. The jaguar is one of the many animals affected by habitat loss. _______
2. Today, half of the United States is home to the jaguar. _______
3. Tropical rainforests, which take up most of Earth’s land, provide shelter for many species. _______
4. Trees play an important role in reducing climate change by absorbing CO2. _______
5. The practice of agriculture contributes to the destruction of many habitats. _______
6. Animals won’t have space to feed and bread if there is no farmland. _______
7. To prevent habitat loss, humans must maintain the balance between plants and animals. _______
8. 90% of species could be saved if humans put 50% of Earth’s land and water for natural preservation. _______
B. Choose the correct answer.
1. According to paragraph 1, the jaguar ______.
a. mainly lived in the Amazon Rainforest 100 years ago b. is a threat to about 85% of flora and fauna
c. is an example of a rare animal in the Amazon Rainforest d. has lost more than half of its territory
2. What is happening to the tropical rainforests?
a. They cover only 7% of Earth’s land.
b. Many of their trees are cut down to save land for human activities.
