Olympics can exceed tens of billions of dollars, and it is commonplace for budgets to double or

While costs are the primary concern for a host city, there are other factors to consider. For one,
an Olympic host city may receive (28)_______ revenue from ticket sales, tourist spending,
corporate sponsorship, and television rights. Cities such as Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988)
actually made a large profit from the Games they hosted. (29)_______ , hosting the Olympic Games
confers prestige on a host city and country, which can lead to increased trade and tourism. The
Olympics are also an opportunity to invest in projects (30)_______ improve the city's quality of life,

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.
