Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different

from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of

animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and

humid

in a rainforest. It rains a

lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don’t know it’s raining. The trees grow so closely

together that rain doesn’t always reach the ground.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent. They are

found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South

America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The

second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America,

Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.

Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the

“lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world’s oxygen. One fifth of the

world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the

world’s species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. Eighty percent of

the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn,

potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the

drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these

drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests,

it’s surprising to find

that

we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square

meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for

cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing

countless

valuable

species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of

rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
