There are three jobs in an ecosystem:producer,consumer and decomposer.The trees in the frest produce food by themselves. Giraffes themselves can't make their own food,so they consume or eat the trees'leaves.But sometimes hungry lions or other animals eat giraffes.When animals die.their bodies become part of the soi and. air to beip the forest giow.So the ecosystem can keep on going. Ecosystems come in lots of kinds and sizes.A backyard or even a big sea can be an ecosystem.The key thing is that an ecosystem has to be balanced.If there weren't animals to eat giraffes,giraffes would eat too many leaves.This wouldn't be gocd for the trees,and this would make it difficult for giratfes to find food.Different weather and natural disasters can change the ecosystems.Human activities like cutting down the trees and huntng can also bring problems. Ecosystems are everywhere.They play an important role in our life.It is necessary for us to do what we can to keep them working well. 注：每题答案不超过9个单词 61.How many jobs are there in an ecosystem? 62.If the crane lives mainly on small animals,what is it in an ecosystem according to Paragraph 2? 63.What's the most important thing in an ecosystem? 64.What may cause an ecosystem to change? 65.What can we do to help protect the ecosystem? 六、连词成句（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 66.free feel us if to call help you need 67.are because of danger hunting n many animals 68.snowballs each other we running throw laughing at and 69.80 the climate is that awful can plarts there live only a few 70.is nothing there than more satisfying a big ball of fur Xiwang grow int№ seeing
