    Part one/ Reading (15 points) Name: …………………………………………
    A/ Comprehension (8 points) Class: ……….

    Read the text carefully, the do the activities.
    The Amazon forest covers five million square kilometers, an area as big as the whole Europe, excluding Russia. It contains one third of the world trees. However, these trees are disappearing at a high rate.
    Scientists say that the disappearance of the trees of the Amazon forest is causing changes in the climate. In Peru, there is less snow that before on the high peaks of the Andes mountains. In Bolivia, there is less rain than before and more wind. On some parts of north-east Brazil, there is now very little rain.
    What will happen if more of the Amazon forest is cut down? According to climatologist, two things are likely to happen: there will be serious effects on the world’s climate and the air we breathe will lose some of its oxygen. Why is this?
    Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and give out oxygen into the air. The trees of the Amazon forest are chemically very active and some scientists believe that they provide 50% of the world’s annual production of oxygen. If we lose this forest, the air will contain less oxygen and much more carbon dioxide, it will become difficult – perhaps impossible to breathe.
    With more carbon dioxide in the air, the temperature will rise, the ice caps at the North and South Pole will melt, the sea level will rise and hundreds of seaside towns will be flooded.
    Scientists do not agree about the calculations which can be done in different ways with different results. But all the scientists agree that if we destroy the Amazon forest, it will be an environmental suicide. Life on earth will become difficult, and it may become impossible.
