Cloze Test(21-30)
Hundreds of
plants and animals are (21) every day due to deforestation and urbanization.
What might happen if this continues in the future? The last mass extinction of
plant and animal species occurred 65 million years ago with the dinosaurs. In
all, five mass extinctions have occurred and scientists (22) earth is in the
sixth mass extinction. The world as it is now is threatened, including people,
who are responsible for earth's (23). Pesticides contaminating water;
overharvesting of animals and plants; air pollution; illegal fishing and the
clearing of land are direct results of urbanization and deforestation. People
have (24) and damaged almost half of earth's land, at a very unsustainable
rate.
Global warming is having a serious impact as
well. A six- degree Celsius increase in global temperature killed 95% of all
species on Earth 251 million years ago. An increase of six- degree Celsius is
forecast this century if a change is not made to (25) the damage done to earth.
Humans will be one of the 95% of species lost. Noticeable, changes of global
warming include migration (26) and the change in season timings. Migrating
birds are migrating earlier which in turn is causing them to hatch eggs and (27)
young earlier than they did at the beginning of this century. While this is
just the tip of the iceberg many other (28) regarding the extinction of plant
and animal species need addressing. It is more important now than ever before
to pull our heads out of the sand and make changes for the (29) of the earth.
