Fortunately, long-term plans are now in place to try to combat the effects of climate change. The reef became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and today is carefully monitored. Areas of the reef where living things reproduce（生物繁殖） are now protected, and measures are being taken to stop tourists and fishing boats damaging the reef further. The islands around the reef are also protected from fire and pests. Through actions such as these, it is hoped that the Great Barrier Reef will be conserved for future generations. 1 in ˈplace(1) ( also into ˈplace ) in the correct position; ready for sth在正确位置；准备妥当•Carefully lay each slab in place.要仔细铺好每一块石板。•The receiver had already clicked into place.听筒咔的一声放回原位了。(2) working or ready to work在工作；准备就绪•All the arrangements are now in place for their visit.他们来访的一切都安排就绪了。(3) ( NAmE )= on the spotatspotn.(3) 5 Pre-reading Look at the title of the passage and the pictures.
