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 31 to 35).

NATURE IN DANGER

Deforestation has important global consequences. Forests sequester carbon in the form of wood and other biomass as the trees grow, taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When forests are burned, their carbon is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has the potential to alter global climate, and the trees are no longer present to sequester more carbon.

In addition, the effects of forest clearing, selective logging, and fires interact. Selective logging increases the flammability of the forest because it converts a closed, wetter forest into a more open, drier one. This leaves the forest vulnerable to the accidental movement of fires from cleared adjacent agricultural lands and to the killing effects of natural droughts. As wildfires, logging, and droughts continue, the forest can become progressively more open until all the trees are lost. Additionally, the burning of tropical forests is generally a seasonal phenomenon and can severely impact air quality. Record-breaking levels of air pollution have occurred in Southeast Asia as the result of burning for oil palm plantations.

In the tropics, much of the deforested land exists in the form of steep mountain hillsides. The combination of steep slopes, high rainfall, and the lack of tree roots to bind the soil can lead to disastrous landslides that destroy fields, homes, and human lives. With the significant exception of the forests destroyed for the oil palm industry, many of the humid forests that have been cleared are soon abandoned as croplands or only used for low-density grazing because the soils are extremely poor in nutrients. The vegetation that contains most of the nutrients is often burned, and the nutrients literally "go up in smoke" or are washed away in the next rain.

Although forests may regrow after being cleared and then abandoned, this is not always the case, especially if the remaining forests are highly fragmented. Such habitat fragmentation isolates populations of plant and animal species from each other, making it difficult to reproduce without genetic bottlenecks, and the fragments may be too small to support large or territorial animals. Furthermore, deforested lands that are planted with commercially important trees lack biodiversity and do not serve as habitats for native plants and animals, many of which are endangered species.

Alligators and Crocodiles

Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals called crocodilians. They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same animal. There are several differences that can be used to tell them apart.

American alligators are much more common than African crocodiles. Because they hate the cold, alligators live in the southern part of the country usually in fresh water lakes and swamps. Their skin is dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow. They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish, birds, and, occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for their skins. Now there are strict controls on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas.

American crocodiles are a bit different. They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the tropical climate of southern Florida. Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas. They are very shy, so people do not often see them in the wild. Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads are longer and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator. They eat only fish and other water animals. Crocodiles are listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by US law.

25. What would be the best tittle for this passage?

A. Alligators and Crocodiles: American Brothers                   C. The Animals of the Swamps

B. Crocodilians: Their Similarities                                           D. Hunting Crocodiles: Terror in the Swamp

26. What don’t alligators eat?

A. Water animals                   B. Fish                   C. Garbage                   D. People

27. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A. alligators                   B. people                   C. birds                   D. crocodiles

28. What does the word “sensitive” in paragraph 3 mostly mean?

A. familiar                   B. easily attacked                   C. easily upset                   D. preferable

29. Which of the following is TRUE about alligators and crocodiles?

A. They look exactly the same.                                     C. They both hurt people.

B. They both prefer warm places.                                  D. They are both very numerous.

Read the passage and choose the best answer

War is frightening, and cruel, especially for soldiers. One woman set out to help as many soldiers as she could during the Civil War, even on the front lines of the battlefield! Her name was Clara Barton.

Clara Barton was born in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1821. Her interest in helping soldiers on the battlefield began when she was told army stories from her father. Another event that influenced her decision to help soldiers was an accident her brother had. His injuries were cared for by Barton for 2 years. At the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age of 15. She taught for 18 years before she moved to Washington, D.C in 1854.

The Civil War broke out 6 years later. Immediately, Barton started war service by helping the soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bull Run, Clara Barton received permission from the government to take care of the sick and hurt. She cared for soldiers not just in hospitals, but on the actual battlefields, putting herself in danger. One time she was caring for a soldier when a bullet went right through her sleeve! She was very lucky not to get hurt. The soldiers were glad to see her, though, and she became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." When the war ended in 1865, she used 4 years of her life to assist the government in searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.

The search for missing soldiers and years of hard work made her feeble physically. In 1869, her doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While in Europe, Clara learned about the International Red Cross organization. Its mission to help war victims around the world ignited interest and excitement in Clara. She wanted to bring the Red Cross to America, so that she could continue to help as many people as possible. She returned to the United States of America, and in 1881, the American Red Cross began, with Clara as the president of the organization. She managed its activities until 1904, but continued to help people by teaching first aid strategies and ways to be prepared for emergencies, so more people could help others.

Clara Barton died in 1912. She was a hero to many people because she was brave on the battlefield, helped people of all kinds, and began an organization that still helps people today.
