Despite always being mentioned in<br /> the news, many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why they are so important.<br /> The name “rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are — tall forests that<br /> receive high amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 centimetres of<br /> precipitation. There are two types of rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical<br /> rainforests are more plentiful and are located in warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in<br /> places where the weather is a bit milder. In terms of location, rainforests can be found on every continent<br /> with the exception of Antarctica. Although they only cover 6 percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the<br /> Earth’s animal and plant species can be found there. Many biologists estimate that there are possibly<br /> millions of additional species present there that have yet to be discovered and classified.<br /> Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname “the world’s pharmacy” because more than 25<br /> percent of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines can only be<br /> found in rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land for thousands<br /> of years. During this time, they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits and vegetables.<br /> They also possess tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying medicines made from<br /> <br /> Trang 1/6 - Mã đề thi 629<br /> <br /> herbs and plants. Over time, their unique way of life has declined as they have come in contact with<br /> modem civilization.<br /> Despite their numerous benefits, rainforest have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the Earth’s<br /> population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new lands for<br /> farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If deforestation<br /> continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become extinct in the<br /> next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 90 percent of its<br /> rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 percent of its original<br /> rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung up with the goal of purchasing and protecting<br /> the remaining rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the destruction of one of the planet’s<br /> most vital assets.<br /> Câu 6: What can we assume there are no rainforests in Antarctica?<br /> A.

Trash does not disappear when you toss it in a can. If there are<br /> no magic garbage fairies, where does all the trash go? There are four methods of managing waste:<br /> recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating.<br /> Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned<br /> into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials,<br /> and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting,<br /> processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves.<br /> Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people<br /> bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is compacted before<br /> it is thrown into the hole. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that<br /> garbage stinks. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for<br /> landfills.<br /> Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 629<br /> <br /> Composting is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose.<br /> The product of this decomposition is compost. Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil richer<br /> and better for growing crops. While composting is easy to do onsite somewhere, like home or school, it’s<br /> hard to do after the garbage gets all mixed up. This is because plastic and other inorganic materials must<br /> be removed from the compost pile or they will pollute the soil. There’s a lot of plastic in garbage, which<br /> makes it hard to compost on a large scale.<br /> One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The<br /> first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas, and bum the fuel. The second is to<br /> bum the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam<br /> generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators<br /> destroy valuable resources that could be recycled.<br /> Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can,<br /> what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your possession.<br /> You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with<br /> it. The choice is yours.<br /> Câu 26: Which of the following serves as the best title for this passage?<br /> A. The Magic of Recycling: Bringing Back What Was Once Lost<br /> B.
