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 34. According to the passage, how is the balance in the ecosystem maintained? A. Animals must work within their species to maintain the balance. B. The birth and death cycle must repeat itself several times before harmony is achieved. C. Various animals and plants must interact with one another. D. Humans must lend a helping hand to affect the ecosystem positively. Question 35. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _______. A. frogs B. babies C. mosquitoes D. animals Question 36. Which of the following is supported by the passage? A. Without plants and animals in the desert, ecosystems could not survive. B. When a part of an ecosystem is destroyed, the ecosystem will surely be destroyed. C. Some animals and plants work together to ensure each other's survival. D. There is a limit to the size of plants and animals in the desert. Question 37. Ecosystem exists when __________. A. there are plants and animals B. there is a harmony C. the cycle repeats itself D. there is a natural living area Question 38. The word "maintained" in the paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ________. A. preserved B. confirmed C. encouraged D. provided Question 39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
