READING: Read the passage, then answer the questions below by choosing A, B, C or D

Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is
greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair
the damage caused by man.

Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering
our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and 
eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance

rye or wheat.

When a natural ecosystem is simplified, the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged.
Without their biodiversity they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able to
absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the
“greenhouse effect”, and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the world’s climate.

18: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Natural mechanisms. B. The variety of species. 
C. The loss of biodiversity. D. How ecosystems work better. 
19: Which of the following is not a species used to replace a rich ecosystem?

A. rye B. eucalyptus C. herbs D. pine

20: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to __________.

A. species B. animals C. plants D. rainforests

21: Which is the purpose of paragraph 2?

A. To show natural mechanisms at work. B. To show how ecosystems can work better. 
C. To give examples of variety of species. D. To give examples of the loss of biodiversity. 
22: According to the passage, what might be the final result of the simplification of natural ecosystems?

A. There is a change in the climate. B. There is global warming. 
C. The basic processes are altered. D. There is loss of biodiversity.
