18、doesnt it?Reading IIIn this lesson you will practise understanding the main idea and authors opinion.Preventing Sea PollutionA. Approximately two thirds of our planet is covered by water, and when we look at our vast oceans, we can be excused for thinking that they are too big to be affected by the

19、actions of humans on the planet. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Sea pollution is becoming an increasing problem for our planet, and we have a responsibility to use our creativity to devise some ways to prevent this problem from getting worse.B. By far the main cause of sea pollution is the oil

20、 spills from ocean going vessels. Although there are not many major oil spills each year, and although the total number of these is reducing, each one represents a huge problem for all kinds of marine life; fish, birds and other mammals, and as well each one has spin-off effects on the local human p

21、opulation.C. Sea birds which are exposed to oil spills become coated with oil; fish lose their food supply as the small sea creatures that they feed on become toxic and dangerous to eat, and people also lose part of their food supply as the effects of the oil spill move up the food chain. Oil spills

22、 also affect land mammals which live in coastal areas, and in any event they have a huge effect on the local fishing and tourism industries.D. Once oil has spilled into the ocean, it is very difficult to contain it and almost impossible to remove it. Our current techniques of using ships to skim the

23、 oil off the surface of the ocean, or large barriers to prevent the oil from spreading, are moderately effective, but only in calm seas, and oil often escapes from these barriers. We ought to work hard on developing new technologies to manage oil spills once they occur, but even more, we have to cre

24、ate effective international laws to prevent these oil spills from occurring in the first place.E. However, oil spills are not the only case of ocean pollution. Ocean cruise liners are another major problem, as they dump rubbish and waste water into the ocean. An average cruise ship produces about a

25、million gallons of waste water a week, which is poured into the ocean. Plastic rubbish can create many problems for sea life, and waste water in large quantities affects the quality of the ocean water and can poison marine creatures.F. We need to act urgently to raise awareness of these problems, an

26、d to try and reduce the deadly effect of human activity on our oceans. We must act now, before it is too late! (430 words)1510152025While ReadingActivity 1Answer the following questions.1.
