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 squaremeters, 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.
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 from 43 to 50.
The atmosphere that originally surrounded the earth was probably much different from
the air we breathe today. The earth’s first atmosphere (some 4.6 million years ago) was most
likely hydrogen and helium – the two most abundant gasses found in the universe – as well
as hydrogen compounds, such as methane and ammonia. Most scientists feel that this early
atmosphere escaped into space from the earth’s hot surface.
A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped the earth as gasses
from molten rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents. We
assume that volcanoes spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostly water
vapor (about 80 percent), carbon dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few percent
nitrogen. These same gasses probably created the earth’s second atmosphere.
As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot interior –
known as outgassing – provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed into clouds.
Rain fell upon the earth for many thousands of years, forming the rivers, lakes, and oceans
of the world. During this time, large amount of carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans.
Through chemical and biological processes much of the carbon dioxide became locked up in
carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone. With much of the water vapor already
condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide dwindling, the atmosphere
gradually became rich nitrogen.
