III. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question that follows.
Write A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.
Forests cover nearly a third of all land on Earth. Here are three main reasons why forests are
so important.
Firstly, they are home to various species, including millions of humans. Forests, especially
tropical rainforests, provide organic living habitats for nearly half of the world's land-based
species of animals, plants, and insects. About three hundred million people live in forests
worldwide, of whom about sixty million depend almost entirely on native woodlands. Many
millions more live along or near the forest fringe.
Secondly, forests keep us cool. Trees create vital oases of shade on the ground and help
buildings stay cool. This reduces the need for electric fans or air conditioners. Large forests
can regulate temperatures in regions, including cities. Trees and forests also have another way
to beat the heat: they remove much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps
fight climate change.
Finally, they prevent flooding and soil erosion. Forests absorb much of rainwater and slow
down its fast flow. This helps prevent soil erosion as well as protect surrounding communities
from landslides and floods.

A. The ways forests provide us food
B. The process of photosynthesis

D. The role of decomposers in the ecosystem

A. a line around a forest

D. an area which is very far from a forest
Question 39. How do forests contribute to fighting the heat?
