TEST 1 The South American Amazon Rainforest is often called the botanical lungs of the planet. Covering more than five-and- a-half million square kilometres, it additionally provides a nature habitat for over half of the Earth’s most significant species of plants and animals in an area that is a little larger than half of the world’s remaining rainforest. Unfortunately, over the last four decades, this huge lush expanse has been ever more endangered by deforestation. During the 1960s and up to the 1990s, thousands of trees were felled, but what farmers did not realise is that the topsoil, when denuded of trees, is only considered cultivable for a short period of time. This means the farmers have to clear more and more land to continue running a profitable and productive business. Despite the reduction in the number of trees being felled, the forest is still slowly disappearing, diminishing the biodiversity of the area and having a terrible global impact, as fewer trees means it has less capacity to clean the air we breathe. 1. The word “ it” in paragraph 1 refers to ___. A. The lung B. the habitat C. the Amazon Rainforest D. the planet 2. According to the last paragraph, what does “ fewer trees” mean? A. The forest is less able to clean the air we breathe. B. The farmers have to run a profitable and productive business. C. There is an increase in the number of trees in the forest. D. The forest quality is slowly improving. 3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The farmers in the Amazon Rainforest have realized the bad effects of deforestation. B. The Amazon Rainforest stretches across 3.5 million square kilometers. C. The Amazon Rainforest has been endangered by overhunting over the last 40 years. D. More than half of Earth’s most important species of plants and animals live in the Amazon Rainforest. 4. The word “felled” in paragraph 2 in closest in meaning to ___. A. planted B. resulted C. cut down D. cultivated 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The differences between farming and forestation B. Deforestation and its impact C. The Amazon Rainforest D. Conservation of forests 9

He flew unaccompanied at 16, and got his private pilot’s licence on his 17th birthday. His dad’s an airline pilot too, and Ed has flown with him on passenger flights since Ed became a pilot. “ He never pushed me to become a pilot, but as soon as I said I wanted to do it, he was pleased. And Dad gave me money for my training, and now I’m paying him back. He’s been very helpful.” After training, he immediately started work as a pilot for a commercial airline. The captain is the boss, but Ed’s allowed to do almost the same work apart from operating the plane on the runway at the airport. When Ed first joined the airline he flew mail to different places. Then he changed to passenger flights. “ I was excited, but you don’t really get to talk to the passengers. The captain is in charge, but if they fly out on a short trip, you fly the plane back, for example.” There are other pilots around Ed’s age, but they are a bit older because they’re done something else before they came to flying.

Is a touring exhibition of wildlife photos and paintings by young artists. Its last stop has been in my city, and I went last week. The pictures were produced by teenagers living in countries as far apart as Asia and Canada. There were often humans and animals working together in the pictures, and to me that was the message behind them. In one painting, for example, a girl was resting her head on an elephant. Some wildlife experts say this doesn’t show animals as they really are in the wild, and I agree. But that didn’t stop the pictures being beautiful. One artist, for example, had filmed videos of animals through coloured glass and another had added music- they worked really well. There were also action photos. One was of a bear that had climbed up a tree in a garden in Canada and refused to come down. Wildlife experts sent the bear to sleep with a special vet’s gun- and a brilliant young photographer saw a great opportunity. He took a photo showing the bear falling out of the tree, fast asleep, onto a rubber mat on the ground, as if it was jumping like a gymnast! The bear was later returned to the wild. And there were lots more amazing pictures like that! Another young photographer took a photo while swimming with an elephant- although she almost got kicked as a result. I was glad I didn’t know that when I first saw the picture! It reminded me that the animals in the pictures were still wild animals, and shouldn’t be trusted. But this photographer clearly felt the photo was worth the danger. 1. What is Isabelle Ramirez trying to do in the text? A. say who had done the best pictures in the exhibition B. encourage young people to take up wildlife photography 11

What does Isabelle think the artists are trying to show? A. that animals and people can live peacefully with each other B. that wild creatures living in nature are very beautiful C. that animals live very differently in different countries D. that films of wildlife are more attractive than photos or paintings 3. What does Isabelle say about the photo of the bear? A. It didn’t look very believable. B. It showed one photographer’s quick thinking. C. It made her worry about what happened to the bear. D. It was the most unusal photo in the exhibition. 4. When Isabelle saw a girl’s photo of an elephant, she A. thought it was worth the girl’s swim to get the photo. B. was sure that the girl had disturbed the elephant. C. felt it proved animals don’t make good subjects for photos. D. was pleased she only learned the story behind it later. 5. What might people visiting the exhibition in Isabelle’s city say about it? A. I’m sure some of these photos aren’t real - a girl couldn’t really stand so close to an elephant like that! B. These young people have been really lucky to travel so much- it’s a pity they didn’t take any photos in their own countries. C. I like the way people have added special effects to their work- really clever! D. I’m glad it’s a touring exhibition - that means members of my family can see it when it gets to their city. 12
