Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Today, wild animals and the wild places where they live are seriously threatened almost everywhere. One species has become extinct in each year of this century. But many hundreds are now in danger. The speed of the extinction of species has been faster than ever before. Hunting is no longer the major cause of mass extinction, although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as savage pets. The main reason of the extinction comes from the destruction of the natural habitat where
wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. As a result, many species of animals, birds, and even insects are at risk of disappearing from the Earth. The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity. Deforestation has caused serious damage to natural habitat which animals rely on to survive, particularly in the tropics which the most global biodiversity is at stake in. The immense tropical forests that are known as the lungs of the earth are being destroyed by human activities such as building hydroelectric dams across rivers, agricultural cultivation,... ect, such species disappear forever.
Which is no longer considered a major cause of the mass extinction ?

Dịch nghĩa:
“Ngày nay, các loài động vật hoang dã và những nơi hoang dã nơi chúng sinh sống đang bị đe dọa nghiêm trọng hầu như ở khắp mọi nơi. Một loài đã tuyệt chủng trong mỗi năm của thế kỷ này. Nhưng hàng trăm loài hiện đang gặp nguy hiểm. Tốc độ tuyệt chủng của các loài đã nhanh hơn bao giờ hết. Săn bắn không còn là nguyên nhân chính gây ra sự tuyệt chủng hàng loạt, mặc dù các loài chim và động vật quý hiếm vẫn tiếp tục bị giết để lấy da, lông, ngà và các bộ phận bên trong, hoặc bị bắt làm thú cưng hoang dã. Nguyên nhân chính của sự tuyệt chủng đến từ việc phá hủy môi trường sống tự nhiên mà các loài thực vật, động vật hoang dã và côn trùng cần để sinh tồn. Do đó, nhiều loài động vật, chim chóc và thậm chí cả côn trùng có nguy cơ biến mất khỏi Trái đất. Việc rút nước và ngăn dòng các vùng đất ngập nước và dòng sông đe dọa chuỗi thức ăn dưới nước và ngành công nghiệp hải sản của chúng ta. Đánh bắt cá quá mức và phá hủy các rạn san hô dễ vỡ phá hủy đa dạng sinh học đại dương. Nạn phá rừng đã gây ra thiệt hại nghiêm trọng cho môi trường sống tự nhiên mà các loài động vật dựa vào để sinh tồn, đặc biệt là ở các vùng nhiệt đới, nơi đang có nguy cơ mất đi phần lớn đa dạng sinh học toàn cầu. Những khu rừng nhiệt đới rộng lớn được coi là lá phổi của Trái đất đang bị phá hủy bởi các hoạt động của con người như xây dựng các đập thủy điện bắc qua các con sông, canh tác nông nghiệp, v.v... khiến các loài biến mất mãi mãi.”
