correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Forests are vital to life on Earth. We all depend on forests in one way or another for survival. First of
all, forests are often called the ‘lungs of the planet’. It is because trees have the ability to provide an essential
of life for all living creatures on our planet – oxygen, and the power to purify the air we breathe by
removing harmful gases like carbon dioxide. Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon
dioxide and water, and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that
feed the tree. As a by-product of that chemical reaction, oxygen is produced and released by the tree. It is
believed that one large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people.
Moreover, forests help prevent soil erosion and retain soil nutrients. The roots of rainforest trees and
vegetation hold the soil in place and help water soak into the ground instead of flowing over its surface. Tree
foliage helps rainwater go into the soil rather than wash over it, and reduces the force of raindrops on the
soil. Rows of trees which are planted closely together can work like a windbreak. It helps limit the force of
the wind and protect the top most fertile layer of the soil from being carried away easily. In addition, forests

can also soak up excess rainwater, preventing run-offs and damage from flooding.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of forests in our life
B. How photosynthesis works
C. How forests affect human beings
D. Forests bring lots of benefits to agriculture
32. The word ‘purify’ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. maintain
B. provide
C. clean
D. improve
33. Why are forests considered as the lungs of the planet?
A. Because forests maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


B. Because forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
C. Because forests convert water and carbon dioxide into chemical compounds.
D. Because forests use the energy of the sun to remove harmful gases like carbon dioxide.
34. Which part of the trees helps minimize the impact of raindrops on the soil?
A. The vegetation
B. Roots of the trees
C. Rows of trees
D. Tree foliage.
35. According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT _____
A. Forests protect the soil from erosion.
B. Forests can help maintain soil fertility.
C. Forests act as a natural absorber of rainwater.
D. Forests provide a constant supply of water.
