Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T), FALSE (F) or DOESN’T SAY (NI).
Ecological balance is the stability of each species’ population within an environment. However, this state can
be upset by the introduction of new species, the sudden extinction of animals, natural disasters or man-made
problems. Throughout history, there has been a variety of environmental issues. Some of the most serious
problems are the activities of preparing and fighting wars, which can cause serious environmental damage.
During the Vietnam War, for instance, dense forests covering large green areas were carpet bombed, resulting
in the habitat of numerous species being destroyed.
The ecological balance has been seriously affected by how the world’s population has increased from the
industrial age. We have been clearing plants and trees, changing the way to use the land and expanding paved
areas for our development. These activities have an impact on both the water and soil quality and ecology.
Due to the increasing water demand of different industries, water has been extracted from deeper wells in
further areas. In addition, increased paving would not only reduce the amount of water vapor but also
contribute to groundwater pollution. Those issues have gotten worse in recent years and caused many
consequences.
Scientists have been carrying out the solutions to ecological imbalance for the past two decades. Hopefully,
we can deal with the negative effects of industrial development, and more endangered species will be saved
in the next 50 years.
26. The ecological imbalance can be caused if one species disappears unexpectedly.
27. The habitat destruction in Vietnam War was caused by bombing.
28. The need for water has been decreasing since the industrialization.
29. Human activities have prevented all species populations from increasing.
30. There haven’t been any solutions to ecological issues.
