英语听力：自然百科 海洋天堂大堡礁:堡礁内外—1

 The great barrier reef is huge, it stretches for over 2,000 kilometers along Australia's north east coast, so vast it's clearly visible from space, and it's not simply a collection of coral gardens, but a network of very different habitats, it means there is a complexity¹ of life here, on a scale found almost nowhere else on the world, and it doesn't exist in isolation², violent storms around welcome visitors, and ocean voyageurs arrive here from many parts of the globe.

The great barrier reef is such a rich system that animals are drawn³ in from the vast outer space of the open ocean, from the tiniest plankton⁴ to ocean giants.

It means that the great barrier reef is an international hub, home to some of the greatest wildlife spectacles on earth.
