(40 points)Text 1Fikiri Kipondas path from accountant to marine (海洋的) conservationist was sparked by a chance encounter. After securing his dream job, Kiponda decided he wanted more. He wasnt quite sure what he was looking for until he ran across some turtle hatchlings.He didnt know it was turtle. Fortunately enough he got the right person to ask and he got motivated. That person was Nkindi, a staff member at the Watamu Conservation project who later invited him to volunteer on the project. He later left his accounting job and fully devoted himself into the world of sea turtles. Now，he runs and spends his time nursing critically endangered sea turtles back to health.Sea turtles have been around for nearly 110 million years and are now considered highly endangered. Their preservation rests on activities of conservationists such as Kiponda as these turtles face numerous threats and signs of their extinction in the next 50 years.Local fishermen traditionally catch them to supplement their own low catch rates and sell them for their oil. As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists, there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.Kipondas passion has now spread to his community, changing their attitude towards sea life preservation with his “by-catch release programme.”Through this program, fishermen are now paid for returning turtles accidentally caught in their fishing nets. The healthy ones are tagged and released into the marine park while he takes care of sick and injured turtles back to health.Before the launch of pioneering spirit like this, turtles caught by fishermen were used for their meat and their oil extracted (提炼) for its medicinal properties.“Releasing the turtle back into the ocean is a very good feeling, like, you feel like youve done something concrete and I guess everybody would love to do that.so I guess its unique work.”1、What was Fikiri Kipondas dream job according to the text?AAn accountant.BA marine conservationist.CA guide to the Watamu Conservation Project.DAn advocate for turtles.2、What may be the main threat to the turtles?AThe rising sea level.
