 Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in 
the past two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the 
ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the 
importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these 
environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in 
all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after 
another of Earth’s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such 
as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is 
irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of 
activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by

significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the 
course of evolution. 
 Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions have occurred. 
The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. 
There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species 
reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have 
survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and 
which died out. 
 However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species 
is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is 
wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes 
themselves, which will lead to biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux 
as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-
time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation 
of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments.

Quetion 35. It can be inferred in the first paragraph that the factor will negatively affect the 
Earth’s ecosystems is _____. 
A. habitat destruction C. rapid destruction of the marine ecosystems
