III. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. (1.0 point)
All animal life on the planet Earth depends on a sufficient supply of oxygen for its
day-to-day survival. The trees that dot our landscapes provide a large portion of this supply:
trees take carbon dioxide from the surrounding air and in return they create a sizeable
amount of oxygen. Ironically, human beings, who cut down large numbers of trees to create
land, shelter, and energy, pose the most significant threat to the survival of the world-wide tree population.
But humans are not the only force that threatens the survival of these mighty members
of the plant kingdom. Trees- among the oldest and largest organisms on the planet- face many
other dangers. Lightning, fire, and other natural disasters, for example, can destroy many
square miles of old-growth forest in a matter of hours. Disease-causing fungi and insect pests
can also eradicate entire populations of trees within a particular region.
After humans, however, the factor which most determines whether a particular species
of tree will prosper in a given area is climate. In particular, the amount of rainfall and the
range of temperatures that a region experiences strongly affect the distribution of tree species.
All species of trees have evolved from plants that flourished many centuries ago in the
warm and wet tropical regions of the planet. As the distribution of trees has spread to other
regions, the differing climates of these regions have effectively limited the types of trees that 6
can live there. The greater the range of temperature and rainfall that a species of tree can
withstand, the more adaptable it is and therefore the wider its range of distribution.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The importance of the Earth’s oxygen supply
B. Dangers facing the Earth’s trees
C. Humankind’s effect on the environment
D. The survival strategies of tree populations
2. The word “dot” is closest in meaning to……………. A. circle B. mark C. spot D. decorate
3. The phrase “sizeable amount” is closest in meaning to ……………. A. substantial volume B. diminishing supply C. large reduction D. breathable portion
4. According to the passage, what represents the greatest danger to tree populations? A. Disease-causing fungi B. Fire C. People D. Energy supplies
5. The word “face” is closest in meaning to ……………. A. express B. confront C. survive D. cause
6. The phrase “Lightning, fire, and other natural disasters” is intended to illustrate …………….
A. mankind’s effect on tree populations
B. the greatest dangers that trees face
C. forces which improve the growth of forests
D. one kind of environmental threat
7. According to the passage, rainfall and temperature play a significant role in determining………..
A. the amount of rainfall a plant can survive
B. the wildlife that flourishes in tropical regions
C. which trees will survive in which regions
D. the number of natural disasters in an area
8. It can be inferred from the passage that trees that live only in tropical regions……………. A. are not very adaptable
B. can survive wide ranges of temperature C. are not limited by climate D. are widely distributed
