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 28 to 35.

Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or otherwise removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means. It can occur in any area densely populated by trees and other plant life, but the majority of it is currently happening in the Amazon rainforest. The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and a host of problems for indigenous people.

Deforestation occurs for a number of reasons, including: farming, mostly cattle due to its quick turn around; and logging for materials and development. It has been happening for thousands of years, arguably since man began converting from hunter/gatherer to agricultural based societies, and required larger, unobstructed tracks of land to accommodate cattle, crops, and housing. It was only after the onset of the modern era that it became an epidemic.

One of the most dangerous and unsettling effects of deforestation is the loss of animal and plant species due to their loss of habitat; not only do we lose those known to us, but also those unknown, potentially an even greater loss. Seventy percent of Earth's land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. The trees of the rainforest that provide shelter for some species also provide the canopy that regulates the temperature, a necessity for many others. Its removal through deforestation would allow a more drastic temperature variation from day to night, much like a desert, which could prove fatal for current inhabitants.

In addition to the loss of habitat, the lack of trees also allows a greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. Presently, the tropical rainforests of South America are responsible for 20% of Earth's oxygen and they are disappearing at a rate of 4 hectares a decade. If these rates are not stopped and reversed, the consequences will become even more severe.

The trees also help control the level of water in the atmosphere by helping to regulate the water cycle. With fewer trees left, due to deforestation, there is less water in the air to be returned to the soil. In turn, this causes dryer soil and the inability to grow crops, an ironic twist when considered against the fact that 80% of deforestation comes from small-scale agriculture and cattle ranching.

Further effects of deforestation include soil erosion and coastal flooding, In addition to their previously mentioned roles, trees also function to retain water and topsoil, which provides the rich nutrients to sustain additional forest life. Without them, the soil erodes and washes away, causing farmers to move on and perpetuate the cycle. The barren land which is left behind in the wake of these unsustainable agricultural practices is then more susceptible to flooding, specifically in coastal regions. Coastal vegetation lessens the impact of waves and winds associated with a storm surge. Without this vegetation, coastal villages are susceptible to damaging floods.

Question 29: The word "indigenous" in the first paragraph probably means ______.

A. foreign

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.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.

Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.

Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can _______.

A. keep him from the hot sunshine

B. make him draw quick profit from them

C. enable him to build warships

D. protect him from drought and floods

Cây cối rất hữu ích cho con người chủ yếu theo ba cách, trong đó quan trọng nhất là chúng có thể ______.

A. giữ con người tranh khỏi ánh nắng mặt trời nóng bức

B. làm cho con người kiếm được lợi nhuận nhanh chóng từ chúng

C. cho phép con người chế tạo tàu chiến

D. bảo vệ con người khỏi hạn hán và lũ lụt

Thông tin: Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.

Tạm dịch: Cây xanh rất hữu ích cho con người theo ba cách rất quan trọng: chúng cung cấp cho một người gỗ và các sản phẩm khác, chúng cho người đó bóng mát, và giúp ngăn chặn hạn hán và lũ lụt.

Thật không may, ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, con người đã không nhận ra rằng lợi ích thứ ba trong số đó là quan trọng nhất.

Cây xanh rất hữu ích cho con người theo ba cách rất quan trọng: chúng cung cấp cho một người gỗ và các sản phẩm khác, chúng cho người đó bóng mát, và giúp ngăn chặn hạn hán và lũ lụt.

Thật không may, ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, con người đã không nhận ra rằng lợi ích thứ ba trong số đó là quan trọng nhất. Trong sự háo hức của mình để thu được lợi nhuận nhanh chóng từ cây xanh, người ta đã chặt phá chúng với số lượng lớn, chỉ để thấy rằng không có chúng, người ta đã mất đi những người bạn thân nhất mà mình có.

Hai ngàn năm trước, một quốc gia giàu có và hùng mạnh đã chặt hạ cây cối của mình để chế tạo tàu chiến, để tự mình trở thành một đế chế. Nó đã giành được đế chế, nhưng không có cây cối, đất đai của nó trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Khi đế chế sụp đổ, đất nước này phải đối mặt với lũ lụt và nạn đói.

Mặc dù chính phủ nhận ra tầm quan trọng của nguồn cung cấp cây xanh dồi dào, thật khó để thuyết phục người dân nhìn thấy điều này. Dân làng cần gỗ để nấu thức ăn của mình và người đó có thể kiếm tiền bằng cách đốt than hoặc bán gỗ cho người dân thị trấn. Anh ấy thường quá lười biếng hoặc quá bất cẩn để

trồng và chăm sóc cây. Vì vậy, trừ khi chính phủ có một hệ thống kiểm soát tốt, hoặc có thể giáo dục người dân, các khu rừng sẽ dần biến mất.

Điều này không chỉ có nghĩa là sẽ có ít cây cối hơn. Kết quả thậm chí còn nghiêm trọng hơn. Đối với những nơi có cây cối, rễ của chúng xới đất, cho phép nước mưa chìm xuống và liên kết đất, do đó ngăn chặn việc nó bị cuốn trôi một cách dễ dàng, nhưng nơi không có cây, đất trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Mưa rơi trên mặt đất cứng và chảy trên bề mặt, gây ra lũ lụt và mang theo lớp đất mặt màu mỡ, nơi mà cây trồng phát triển rất tốt. Khi tất cả lớp đất mặt đã biến mất, không còn gì ngoài một sa mạc vô giá trị.

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. Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down...

to make stay stronger: làm cho mạnh mẽ, cứng cáp hơn to improve: cải thiện

=> bind = to make stay stronger

Thông tin: For where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor.
