PART 4: READING (2.0 PTS)
Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the following questions.
The Amazon rainforest is home to more than a third of all the world's species of plants, birds and animals. There
are thousands of types of plants and animals - probably millions more that we haven't discovered yet. There are at
least 2.5 million species of insects there. Imagine what would happen if they all lost their home? It couldn't
happen, could it? Unfortunately, it's happening right now. Yet, the rainforest is big. But it's getting smaller. The
problem is that people are cutting down the trees, mainly to make room for cows. These provide meat and make
money for their owners. This process of cutting down trees is called ‘deforestation'.
The good news is that it is slowing down. The bad news is that it's not enough. Scientists predict that by 2030, the
rainforest will have become smaller by 40%. And possibly will have completely disappeared soon. As a result,
thousands of the animals, birds, fish and plants that live in the Amazon rainforest lose their home, their natural
habitat. Some of them move to other areas, but most of them die. Many species have already become extinct, and
many more will if deforestation continues. That will change the balance of life in the rainforest and could cause
enormous problems to the region's ecosystem.
1. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Chances for owners of cow ranches
B. Threats to Amazon rainforest
C. Global warming effects
D. Habitat destruction
2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. A fifth of all the birds in the world live in the rainforest.
B. 20% of all the animals in the world live in the rainforest.
C. Over two million species of insects are found in the Amazon rainforest.
D. Nearly half of the world's species of plants grow in the rainforest.
3. In the passage, the word "room” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. chamber B. flat C. area D. studio
4. If deforestation continues, ________.
A. the balance of life in rainforest will change
B. no problems will occur with ecosystem
C. many plants but not animals will disappear
D. the ecosystem in the rainforest will be better
PART 5: WRITING (1.5 PTS)
