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 following questions from 24 to 30.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere
else. 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 second largest
rainforest is in Western Africa.
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.
With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our
rainforests. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for
farms. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
Question 24. What is the passage about?
A. Facts about rainforests B. Where rainforests are located
C. How much oxygen rainforests make D. Kinds of forests
Question 25. The word humid in paragraph 1 could be replaced by ______.
