X. Read the passage then choose the best answer.

The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most
impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Man’s brief life it appears
permanent and unchanging, save for the seasonal growth and fall of the leaves, but
to the forester it represents the climax of along succession of events.
No wooded landscape we see today has been forest for all time. Plants have
minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually
evry part of Earth’s surface has at some time been either too dry or too cold for
plants to survive. However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favor of plant
life, a fascinating sequence of changes occurs, called a primary succession. First to
colonize the barren land are the lowly lichens, surviving on bare rock. Slowly, the
acids proruced by these organisms crack the rock surface, plant debris accumulates
and mosses establish a shallow root – hold. Ferns may follow and, with short
grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering or plant life. Roots probe even
deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first
trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants and soon
establish complete domination closing their ranks and forming a climax
community which may endure for thousands of years.
Yet even this community is not overlasting. Fire may destroy it outright and
settless may cut it down to gain land for pasture or cultivation. If the land is then
abandoned, a secondary succession will take over , developing much faster on the
more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds
carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coasts of mammals. For as long as it
stands and thrives, the forest is a vast machine storing energy and the many
elements essential for life.
1. Why does the forest strick mankind as permanent ?
A. The trees are so tall.
B. It is renewed each season.
C. Our lives are short in coparison.
D. It is an essential part of our lives.
2. What has sometimes caused plants to die out in the past ?

A. Interference from foresters C. The absence of wooded land.
B. Variations in climate. D. The introduction of new types of plants.
3. In “a primary succession” what makes it possible for mosses to take root ?
A. The type of rock C. The amount of sunlight.
B. The amount of moisture D. The effect of lichens.
4. What conditions are needed for shrubs to become established?
A. Ferns must take root C. More soil must accumulate.
B. The ground must be covered with grass D. Smaller plant must die out.
5. Why is a secondary succession quicker ?
A. The ground is more suitable. C. Birds and animals bring new seeds.
B. There is more space for new plans. D. It is supported by the forest.
