- Another problem is the loss of (4) Some species of plants and animals have already been lost while other remains (5) This is due to the loss of their (6)
- This process affects climate change Trees absorb CO2 and give off oxygen By destroying forest more CO2 remains in the atmosphere affecting the (7)
- In the area where the trees have been removed, soil erosion occurs as the earth is exposed to the sun’s heat This evaporates much needed nutrients contained in the soil and is very difficult to reserve
Climate change

- The cause of this can be found in carbon emission and the combustion of (9)
- Climate change can be felt in the rise in (10) and the changes of weather patterns on a

Exercise 3 Read the passage and choose the option that best answer each question
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is a greater variety of species within them This bio-diversity 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 rain-forests 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 bio-diversity 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

D To show how ecosystems can work better
29 What according to the passage might be the final result of the simplification of natural ecosystems?

B There is loss of biodiversity
C There is global warming
D There is a change in the climate
30 What is the author's attitude to the loss of biodiversity?
