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.
One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being mentioned in the news,
many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why they are so important. The name
“rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are – tall forests that receive high amounts of
precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 centimetres of precipitation. There are two types of
rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical rainforests are more plentiful and are located in
warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit milder. In terms of
location, rainforests can be found on every continent with the exception of Antacrtica. Although they only cover 6
percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth’s animal and plant species can be found there.Many biologists
estimate that there are possibly millions of additional species present there that have yet to be discovered and
classified.
Over the years, rainforests have gained the nick name “ the world’s pharmacy” because more than 25 percent of
natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines can only be found in rainforests.
Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land for thousands of years. During this time,
they have survied by hunting animals and gathering fruits and vegetables. They also possess tremendous
knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying medicines made from herbs and plants. Over the time, their
unique way of life has declined as they have come in contact with modern civilization.
Despite their numerous benefits, rainforests have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the Earth’s populaion
continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to creat new lands for farming or urban
projects.This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If deforestation contitunes at this rate, it is

possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become extinct in the next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of
damage has already occured. West Africa has had 90 percent of its rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of
Madagascar has eliminated 66 percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung
up with the goal of purchasing and protecting the remaning rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the
destruction of one of the planet’s most vital assests.
