　　例题1：

　　Paragraph 5: Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwood forest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individuals growing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, does not ensure stability. Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact. A more complicated system is, in general, more likely than a simple system to break down. (A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle.)

　　In paragraph 5, why does the author provide the information that “(A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle)”?

　　To illustrate a general principle about the stability of systems by using an everyday example

　　To demonstrate that an understanding of stability in ecosystems can be applied to help understand stability in other situations

　　To make a comparison that supports the claim that, in general, stability increases with diversity

　　To provide an example that contradicts mathematical models of ecosystems
