(13-22) Reading Comprehension

Read the passage and answer the questions based on the text.


Passage I (Questions 13-17)

The world’s rainforests are among the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, home to millions of plant and animal species. 

These forests play a crucial role in producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide, helping to regulate the Earth's climate.

However, deforestation caused by agriculture, logging, and urban expansion threatens these vital ecosystems.


One of the main drivers of deforestation is the demand for farmland.

As the global population grows, more forests are cleared to make space for crops and livestock.

This destruction disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem, leading to habitat loss and the endangerment of many species.


Despite these challenges, conservation efforts are being made to protect rainforests.

International organizations and governments are working together to create sustainable solutions, such as reforestation projects and stricter logging regulations.

Educating people about the importance of rainforests is also crucial in preserving these invaluable natural resources.

1. The benefits of urban expansion

2. The history of agriculture

3. The role of oceans in the ecosystem

4. The causes and consequences of deforestation


14. According to the passage, how do rainforests help regulate the Earth’s climate?


1. By absorbing oxygen

2. By reducing temperatures worldwide

3. By absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen

4. By preventing earthquakes


15. What is one of the main causes of deforestation?


1. An increase in marine pollution

2. The demand for farmland

With the launch of satellites and human missions, scientists have gathered valuable data about planets, stars, and galaxies.

These discoveries have led to technological advancements that benefit everyday life, such as GPS and satellite communication.


One of the biggest challenges in space exploration is the vast distance between celestial bodies.

Even with modern spacecraft, it can take years to reach the outer planets.

Researchers are currently developing new propulsion technologies to make space travel faster and more efficient.


Looking to the future, space agencies and private companies are planning ambitious missions.

Projects such as Mars colonization and asteroid mining could change how humans interact with space.
