integral part of sea life and sustain it by providing shelter andhabitat to various organisms.They also supply and recycle nutrients and enable a growing fishpopulation,along with other species,for a healthy and diverse ecosystem.However,the rise inaverage water temperatures due to climate change has resulted in more frequent and longtime coralbleaching（白化现象）events that damage their health,causing fish and other sea species to abandonthem.In order to restore this delicate ecosystem,scientists from the UK and Australia conducted astudy that involved using loudspeakers underwater near damaged coral reefs to make them soundhealthy and attract fish,potentially kick-starting the natural recovery process of coral reefs and theirdependent life forms.The location fbr this experiment was the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea,found alongside the east coast of Queensland,Australia.The site is noted to have the largest coralreef system in the world.Healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places一the crackle of snapping shrimp and thewhoops and grunts of fish.Young fish concentrate on these sounds when theyre looking fbr a placeto settle,said Steve Simpson,study co-author and a professor at the University of Exeter,UK.By using loudspeakers to copy such sounds,parts of dead coral reefs were found to attract twiceas many fish,compared to places where no sounds were played.These returning fish,are crucialfbr coral reefs to function as healthy ecosystems.Boosting fish populations in this way could helpto kick-start natural recovery processes,preventing the damage were seeing on many coral reefsaround the world,9 said lead author,Tim Gordon.8.What causes the phenomenon of coral bleaching?A.Diverse species.B.Noise pollution.C.Fishing industry.D.Climbing temperatures.9.What approach is introduced to recover the coral reefs?A.Removing damaged coral reefs.B.Using loudspeakers to keep fish away.C.Building new homes for sea species.D.Playing certain sounds to attract fish.10.Why are Steve Simpsons words quoted?A.To provide some findings of the study.B.To show the progress of the experiment.C.To explain reasons fbr the new approach.D.To give another solution to the problem.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The attempts are in vain.B.Natural recovery is impossible.C.Initial success has been achieved.D.The coral reefs have returned to normal.D3
