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 that follow.
Forests cover nearly a third of all land on Earth. Here are three main reasons why forests are so
important.
Firstly, they are home to various species, including millions of humans. Forests, especially
tropical rainforests, provide organic living habitats for nearly half of the world's land-based species of
animals, plants, and insects. About three hundred million people live in forests worldwide, of whom
about sixty million depend almost entirely on native woodlands. Many millions more live along or
near forest fringes.
Secondly, forests keep us cool. Trees create vital oases of shade on the ground and help
buildings stay cool. This reduces the need for electric fans or air conditioners. Large forests can
regulate temperatures in regions, including cities. Trees and forests also have another way to beat the
heat: they remove much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps fight climate change.
Finally, they prevent flooding and soil erosion. Forests absorb much of rainwater and slow
down its fast flow. This helps prevent soil erosion as well as protect surrounding communities from
landslides and floods.
