Exercise 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.

THE BALANCE OF NATURE

All the different plants and animals in a natural community are in a state of balance. This balance is achieved
by the plants and animals interacting with each other and with their non-living surroundings. An example of a
natural community is a woodland, and a woodland is usually dominated by a particular species of plant, such
as the oak tree in an oak wood. The oak tree in this example is therefore called the dominant species but there
are also many other types of plants, from brambles, bushes, and small trees to mosses, lichens and algae
growing on tree trunks and rocks.

The plants of a community are the producers: they use carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen to build up their
tissues using energy in the form of sunlight. The plant tissues form food for the plant-eating animals
(herbivores) which are in turn eaten by flesh-eating animals (carnivores). Thus, plants produce the basic food

supply for all the animals of a community. The animals themselves are the consumers, and are either
herbivores or carnivores.

Examples of herbivores in a woodland community are rabbits, deer, mice and snails, and insects such as
aphids and caterpillars. The herbivores are sometimes eaten by the carnivores. Woodland carnivores are of all
sizes, from insects such as beetles and lacewings to animals such as owls, shrews and foxes. Some carnivores
feed on herbivores, some feed on the smaller carnivores, while some feed on both: a tawny owl will eat beetles
and shrews as well as voles and mice. These food relationships between the different members of the
community are known as food chains or food webs. All food chains start with plants. The links of the chain are
formed by the herbivores that eat the plants and the carnivores that feed on the herbivores. There are more
organisms at the base of the food chain than at the top; for example, there are many more green plants than
carnivores in a community.

Another important section of the community is made up of the decomposers. They include the bacteria and
fungi that live in the soil and feed on dead animals and plants. By doing this they break down the tissues of the
dead organisms and release mineral salts into the soil.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. All the plants in a wood are eaten by animals.

B. All the animals in a wood depend on plants for their food supply.

C. Plants and animals in a natural community do not interact with their non-living surroundings.

D. The balance of a natural community means there is no primary species.

2. The best definition for the word “dominant" in paragraph 1 is ____.

A. having the most important position B. covering the majority of the area

3. All of the following statements are true, EXCEPT ____.

A. some animals eat other animals

B. plants depend on the sun to grow

C. plants depend on the gasses in the atmosphere to grow

Exercise 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.

Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good, but often it is
negative. For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage the environment. The question is
- how can we minimize the problems without preventing people from travelling and visiting places?

The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment and local
people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when they visit a place.

It's great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a number of key
points. Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldn't interfere with wildlife and
they should respect local customs and traditions.

Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs infrastructure - roads, airports
and hotels. The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are needed and, by building more of these,
you can't avoid damaging the environment.

But, of course, things aren't so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty doesn't mean that you
shouldn't benefit from things like better roads. As long as the improvements benefit the local people and not
just the tourists, and the local communities are consulted on plans and changes, then is there really a problem?

In 2002 the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". Over the past twenty years,
more and more people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such as Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and
Kenya, ecotourism represents a significant proportion of the tourist industry.

1. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A brief introduction about ecotourism B. Some Dos for ecotourists

C. Some Don'ts for ecotourists D. Benefits and drawbacks of ecotoursim

2. In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to ____.
