to each of the questions from 29 to 33.

Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born in the USA in 1935. She became
interested in the world’s oceans from an early age. As a child, she liked to stand on the beach for hours and look at
the sea, wondering what it must be like under the surface.
When she was 16, she finally got a chance to make her first dive, which motivated her to become an
underwater explorer. Since then, she has spent more than 6,500 hours under water, and has led more than seventy
expeditions worldwide. She has also made the deepest dive ever, reaching a record-breaking depth of 381 metres.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the captain of the first all-female team to live
under water. The team spent two weeks in an underwater ‘house’. The research they carried out showed the damage
that pollution was causing to marine life, and especially to coral reefs. Her team also studied the problem of
overfishing. Fishing methods meant that people were catching too many fish. Earle warned, and many species were
in danger of becoming extinct.
Since then she has written several books and magazine articles about ways of reducing the damage that is being
done to the world’s oceans. One way, she believes, is to rely on fish farms for seafood, and reduce the amount of
fishing that is done out at sea. Although she no longer eats seafood herself, she realises the importance it plays in
our diets. However, people need to reduce the impact they are having on the ocean’s supplies.

Antibiotics have been one of humanity’s success stories for hundreds of years, being responsible both for
saving the lives of millions of patients and for helping scientists to take enormous steps in the fields of medical and
surgical treatment. But this success has come at a price. The growing resistance of many bacterial strains to the
curative effects of antibiotics is such a concern that it has been referred to, in some quarters, as the greatest threat to
our continued existence on earth. We have become careless, it is argued, not only in our reliance on the quick fix of
medicine if we feel even slightly under the weather, but also in taking the availability of antibiotics for granted,
using them incorrectly, not following the prescribed dosage. This has given rise to a new form of super-bacteria, a
type which is able to fight off antibiotic treatment with ease.
Although their resistance to antibiotics has been built up over a long period of time, bacteria actually
replicate extraordinary quickly, and any resistance developed is also duplicated as they divide. In addition, those
bacteria carrying resistance genes happen to spread those genes further via ‘horizontal gene transfer’, a process
whereby one bacterium passes on the resistance gene from another without even needing to be its parent. What
makes the spread of these strains more difficult to control is that it occurs in a cyclical process. In the case of
humans, when a person becomes infected and the resistant bacteria set up home in the gut, the suffer has two
choices: look for help or stay at home. In seeking medical assistance, whether through an appointment to visit their
local doctor, or taking themselves to hospital, they contaminate other patients, later to be discharged and sent home.
The resistant bacteria then spread out into the local community. This is also the end result if the infected person
decides not to seek any medical assistance at all; they keep the bacteria at home and allow them to breed without
treatment.
As a race, humans have seen remarkable health benefits over the years as a huge number of illnesses have
been treated by antibiotics, but we now face a global emergency as antibiotic-resistant bacteria are beginning to
emerge more rapidly and frequently than ever before. Not only has this created a potential health crisis, since we are
increasingly unable to provide the sick with treatment as a result of worldwide overuse of these drugs, but it is also
unlikely to be tackled any time soon, as the powerful pharmaceutical companies are primarily driven by profit and
see little benefit in researching and creating new antibiotics. It simply does not work on the balance sheet, and so it
falls to governments and individuals around the world to find ways to manage the crisis. Coordinating such efforts
will be easy.
(Adapted from MINDSET for IELTS by Cambridge University Press)

C. The mission of successfully developing new antibiotics will certainly be completed by the

Question 45: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Antibiotic resistance - the growing global threat
B. Antibiotics – a big milestone in the medical field.
C. Global failure to adequately supply antibiotics
D. Uncontrolled antibiotic consumption around the world
Question 46: Why does the author mention the case of the infected in the paragraph 2?
A. To reveal the fact that those infected with resistant bacteria are not treated well
B. To warn sufferers about the possibility of their spreading antibiotic-resistant bacteria
C. To exemplify the feature of speedy replication among antibiotic-resistant bacteria
D. To illustrate the assumption that it is challenging to put a stop to the spread of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria
Question 47: According to the passage, what is one of the factors responsible for the emergence of antibiotic-
resistant bacteria?
