Read the two passages carefully and choose the correct answer. Rainforests circle the globe for twenty degrees of latitude on both sides of the equator. In that relatively narrow band of the planet, more than half of all the species of plants and animals in the world make their home. Several hundred different varieties of trees may grow in a single acre, and just one of those trees may be the habitat for more than ten thousands kinds of spiders, ants, and other insects. More species of amphibians, birds, insects, mammals, and reptiles live in rainforests than anywhere else on earth. Unfortunately, half of the world’s rainforests have already been destroyed, and at the current rate, another 25 percent will be lost by the year 2010. Scientists estimate that as many as fifty million acres are destroyed annually. In other words, every sixty seconds, one hundred acres of rainforest is being cleared. When this happens, constant rains erode the former forest floor, the thin layer of soil no longer supports plant life, and the ecology of the region is altered forever. Thousands of species of plants and animals are condemned to extinct and since we aren’t able to predict the ramifications of this loss to a delicate global ecology, we don’t know what we may be doing to the future of the human species as well. 1.What is the point of view that the author expresses in this passage ? A.The author believes that the rainforest will survive. B.The author believes that preserving the rainforest is important to the global ecology. C.The author believes that he can predict the future of global ecology.

D.Live in areas where the rainforest has been cleared. 3.How many of the world’s rainforests are projected to be destroyed by the year 2010 if the current rate continues ? A. All of them will be gone. B. Three-quarters of them will be gone. C. Half of them will be gone. D. One-quarter of them will be gone. 4.The word “this” in line 10 refers to A. the destruction of the acres. B. the reading of the passage. C. the erosion of the forest floor. D. the constant rains. 5. What will not happen if the rainforest continues to be cleared ? A. The land will be eroded by the rains. B. Many species of plants and animals that depend on the rainforest will become extinct. C.

In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their children's, making money in the short term over any long-term benefits of education. Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when poor families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school. Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density. India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a greatly reduced cost. There is also ail initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100 laptop. The laptops have been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing countries to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "e-school program" has been launched to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years.
