（2022春·福建福州·九年级福建省福州第八中学校考期中）What does the word ecology mean? It was    21    by Ernst Haeckel, a German biologist. He joined two Greek words: oikos, meaning”house”, and logie,

meaning “the study of”. Together they mean “the study of the house”. The “house” Haeckel had in mind is our    22   , Earth. Earth is home for all living things—humans, animals, plants.

To study a house is to learn how its residents（居民） use it. An ecologist is a scientist who studies the    23    between organisms（生物） and their environment. The environment is an organism’s surroundings. It may    24    water, gases, rocks and temperature.

Ecologists also study the balance of using the environment while protecting it.

“Good answer,” said the ecologist, “    27    it may not be easy to find a woodcutter to talk to. Also, remember that sometimes it’s    28    to cut down a tree. If we cut down too many trees, the forest will disappear. If we don’t cut down any trees, we won’t get any resources from the forest. We have to find the right    29   . ”

“I get it, ” the boy said. “We need the forest’s     30     for wood and paper or we might not have desks or notebooks for school. ”

“Exactly—and school is a good place to learn about ecology, “added the ecologist. “Then you will know how to protect the natural environment. ”
