Environmentalists believe that many millions of species exist. As all these living organisms are dependent on each other in some way, biodiversity is desirable. Any loss to the planet is actually a loss for mankind as well, and it is our responsibility to try and save Earths biodiversity.Biodiversity has a vital role to play in the evolution（演变）of species. Species become extinct, but new species evolve, and this is how a balance is maintained. This may sound pretty simple, but it takes millions of years for changes to take place.Biodiversity is also very important to the stability of food webs. Damage to them can mean disaster for an entire ecosystem. The extinction of a single animal species can put huge pressure on the numerous other species dependent on it.Biodiversity also has an important role to play in human society. Apart from being the most intelligent species on earth, human beings are also the most dependent. We depend on nature to meet our basic needs. When we change the balance of nature to create our cities and bring about our technical advances, we knowing or unknowing cause great damage to the ecosystem. This must be understood, and the damages must be reversed（颠倒）in any way they can to ensure that the balance of the ecosystem is maintained.49 .

We learn from the last paragraph that _.Ahumans are as independent as they are intelligentBthe balance of the ecosystem is easily maintainedCnature has given us a lotDnature is taking revenge on us53 . Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?AFood Webs are Closely Related to Biodiversity.BBiodiversity Plays a Very Important Role in Evolution.CHow Biodiversity Affects Human Society.DUnderstanding Biodiversity and Its Importance.五、阅读判断Jim wants to borrow a book from a new library.
