VI. Read the passage and choose the best answers.

Rainforests circle the globe for twenty degrees of latitude on both sides the equator. In that
relatively narrow band of the planet, more than half of all the species of plants and animals in
the world make their home.

Sever hundred different varieties of trees may grow in a single acre, and just one of those trees
may be the habitat for more than ten thousands kinds of spiders ants, and other insects. More
species of amphibians, birds, insects, mammals and reptiles live in rainforests than anywhere
else on earth.

Unfortunately, half of the world's rainforests have already been destroyed and at the current
rate, another 25 percent will be lost by the year 2000. Scientists estimate that as many as fifty
million acres are destroyed annually. In other words, every sixty seconds, one hundred acres of
rainforest is cleared. When this happens, constant rains- erode the former forest floor, thin
layer of soil no longer supports plant life, and the ecology of the region is altered forever.
Thousands of species of plants and animals are condemned to extinction and since we aren't
able to predict the ramifications of this loss to a delicate global ecology, we don't know what we
may be doing to the future the human species as well.

A. The author believes that the rainforest will survive.

38. How many of the worlds rainforests are projected to be destroyed by the year 2000 if the
current rate continues?

A. All of them will be gone.

B. Three-quarters of them will be gone.
C. Half of them will be gone.

D. One-quarter of them will be gone.

39. The word 'this' in line 12 refers to ...
A. the destruction of the acres.

B. the reading of the passage.
C. the erosion of the forest floor.
D. the constant rains.

40. What will not happen if the rainforest continues to be cleared?

Passage 2

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They saw that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most
teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that

students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave
to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they
wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In
Denmark, Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at
weekends. In Holland, teachers allow students to stay at school to do their homework. The
children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and
comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small,
noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other
parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.

It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should
suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching
their own children!

A. many parents would like their children to have less homework
B. homework is unnecessary for children

A. Spain and Holland
