Read the passage and choose the best answer.
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.

The natural environment includes all natural resources ___(21)__ are necessary for life: the air. the oceans, the
sun and the land. Because they are vital for life these resources must be protected from pollution and
conserved. Ecologists study their importance and how__(22)__ them carefully. According to ecologists,
resources are divided__(23)__ two groups: renewable and non-renewable. When a resource can be replaced
quickly, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non renewable. For example
grass for animals is a __(24)__ resource. When cows eat the grass, the resource is used. If the soil is fertilized
and protected, more grass will grow. Coal, however, is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to
make coal. All fossil fuels are non renewable resources.
