B. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Forests are vital to life on Earth. We all depend on forests in one way or another for survival.
First of all, forests are often called the ‘lungs of the planet’. It is because trees have the ability to
provide an essential of life for all living creatures on our planet – oxygen, and the power to purify
the air we breathe by removing harmful gases like carbon dioxide. Through a process called
photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water, and use the energy of the sun to convert
this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. As a by-product of that chemical
reaction, oxygen is produced and released by the tree. It is believed that one large tree can provide a
day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people.
Moreover, forests help prevent soil erosion and retain soil nutrients. The roots of rainforest
trees and vegetation hold the soil in place and help water soak into the ground instead of flowing
over its surface. Tree foliage helps rainwater go into the soil rather than wash over it, and reduces
the force of raindrops on the soil. Rows of trees which are planted closely together can work like a
windbreak. It helps limit the force of the wind and protect the top most fertile layer of the soil from
being carried away easily. In addition, forests can also soak up excess rainwater, preventing run-
offs and damage from flooding.

A. The importance of forests in our life
B. How photosynthesis works
C. How forests affect human beings

33. Why are forests considered as the lungs of the planet?
A. Because forests maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. Because forests absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of
photosynthesis.
C. Because forests convert water and carbon dioxide into chemical compounds.
D. Because forests use the energy of the sun to remove harmful gases like carbon dioxide.
34. Which part of the trees helps minimize the impact of raindrops on the soil?
A. The vegetation B. Roots of the trees
C. Rows of trees D. Tree foliage.
