Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions that follow. The word ecosystem is a mix of the words ecological and system. Ecosystem refers to all the natural things and processes that control the behavior of plants, animals, and minerals in a certain part of nature. One example is the desert ecosystem. It is usually hot and dry in the desert though it can be very cold at night. Therefore, all of the plants, animals, and other things have adapted to this environment. In other words, there is a harmony in the desert ecosystem between all things that live or exist there and the environment. There is no limit as to how big or how small an ecosystem may be. As long as the harmony is real, then there is an ecosystem. It is important to learn about how the harmony or balance is maintained in an ecosystem. The balance is maintained through many different interactions between the various parts of an ecosystem. For example, when there are too many mosquitoes in a forest, then frogs eat a lot of them. Because frogs eat a lot, they tend to be healthier, and thus they have more babies. But then there are too many frogs, so other animals start to eat more frogs. And the cycle repeats itself over and over until there is harmony in the ecosystem. There are some plants and animals that help one another to survive more easily. Insects like termites break down dead trees and return nutrients to the soil. This makes the soil richer, and plants can grow more easily in the soil. There are millions of things that happen to maintain the balance or harmony in an ecosystem. But when one part of the ecosystem dies because of what humans do to the environment, then there are terrible consequences for the ecosystem. Question 5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Politicians are combining with environmental groups to gain importance. B. Ecosystems may be very big or may be very small. C. Plants and animals try to help the others survive more easily. D. The ecosystem works as a unit or one body. Question 6. According to the passage, how is the balance in the ecosystem maintained? A. The birth and death cycle must repeat itself several times before harmony is achieved. B. Various animals and plants must interact with one another. C. Humans must lend a helping hand to affect the ecosystem positively. D. Animals must work within their species to maintain the balance. Question 7. The word "maintained" in the paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ________. A. encouraged B. confirmed C. provided D. preserved Question 8. What does the passage following this text probably discuss? A. Maintaining the balance B. How insects help the soil C. Frog feeding on mosquitoes D. Terrible impacts on the ecosystem Question 9. Which of the following is supported by the passage? A. Some animals and plants work together to ensure each other's survival. B. When a part of an ecosystem is destroyed, the ecosystem will surely be destroyed. C. There is a limit to the size of plants and animals in the desert. D. Without plants and animals in the desert, ecosystems could not survive. Question 10. Ecosystem exists when __________.
