Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:
What biologists refer to as succession usually begins as a result1. What is the best title for the passage?
of natural destruction, such as by fire or flood. It can also be
caused directly by man; he is responsible for the destruction of
a lot of the world's nature.. Succession, sometimes called secondary
5 succession, will occur when species of nature are destroyed and the
land is left alone to recover.
During the early decades of the settlement of North America a lot
of beech-maple forest in New England was cut down to make way for
10 farming. However, as is well-known in American history, very many
settlers moved west, abandoning their farms. Secondary succession
then began in the fields that were left untended. At first, stronger
grasses and weeds appeared in the fields. Then, shrubs started growing,
followed by a re-emergence of some trees, like junipers and pines.
15 Eventually, beeches and maples were able to grow protected by the
other trees, and after a time what was open land had become once
again forest.
This is still happening in New England and in many other parts of
20 the world. This does of course mean that there is still hope for
our planet, just so long as people keep on moving as they have throughout
history. The only real problem is the great amount of time needed
to achieve complete secondary succession.
2. Which of the following is NOT according to the passage a cause of the destruction of nature?
3. What was NOT a reason for the start of secondary succession in New England?
4. What is the reason the author gives for the eventual re-growth of the beeches and maples?
