Until recently, scientists knew little about life in the deep a, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, rearchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cas thousands of years to build.
Many of the world's coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world's highest amounts - areas that ri from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life - are also found in the deep ocean.
能力英文The deep a ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive rervoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting the largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems.
Yet just as we are beginning to recognize the tremendous diversity of life in the areas, along with the potential benefits newly found species may hold for human society in the form of potential food products and new medicines, they are at risk of being lost forever. With enhanced ability both to identify where the species-rich areas are located and to trawl in deeper water than before, commercial fishing vesls are now beginning to reach
down with nets the size of football fields, catching everything in their path while simultaneously crushing fragile corals and breaking up the delicate structure of reefs and amounts that provide critical habitat to the countless species of fish and other marine life that inhabit the deep ocean floor.
Becau deep a bottom trawling is a recent phenomenon, the damage that has been done is still limited. If steps are taken quickly to prevent this kind of destructive activity from occurring on the high as, the benefits both to the marine environment and to future generations are incalculable. And they far outweigh the short-term costs to the fishing industry.

Topic 1 (选题一)
曹禺作品Most of the world's victims of AIDS live - and, at an alarming rate, die - in Africa. The number of people living with AIDS in Africa was estimated at 26.6 million in late 2003. Ne
w figures to be published by the United Nations Joint Program on AIDS ( UNAIDS ), the special UN agency t up to deal with the pandemic, will probably confirm its continued spread in Africa, but they will also show whether the rate of spread is constant, increasing or falling.
AIDS is most prevalent in Eastern and Southern Africa, with South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya having the greatest numbers of sufferers; other countries verely affected include Botswana and Zambia. AIDS was raging in Eastern Africa - where it was called "slim", after the appearance of victims wasting away - within a few years after its emergence was established in the eastern Congo basin; however, the conflicting theories about the origin of AIDS are highly controversial and politicized, and the controversy is far from being ttled.
Measures being taken all over Africa include, first of all, campaigns of public awareness and device, including advice to remain faithful to one xual partner and to u condoms. The latter advice is widely ignored or resisted owing to natural and cultural aversion to co
ndoms and to Christian and Muslim teaching, which places emphasis instead on lf-restraint.
An important part of anti- AIDS campaigns, whether organized by governments, nongovernmental organizations or both, is the extension of voluntary counling and testing ( VCT ) .In addition, medical rearch has found a way to help sufferers, though not to cure them.
交泰殿Funds for anti- AIDS efforts are provided by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a partnership between governments, civil society, the private ctor and affected communities around the world; the fund was launched following a call by the UN Secretary-General in 2001. However, much more is needed if the spread of the pandemic is to be at least halted.
