Read the passage and choose the best answer ( 5 points) Rainforests circle the globe for twenty degrees of latitude on the both sides of the euator. In that relatively narrow band of the planet, more than half of all the species of plants and animals in the world make their home. Several hundred different varieties of trees may grow in a single acre, and just one of those trees may be the habitat for more than ten thousands kinds of spiders, ants, and other insects. More species of amphabians, birds, inects, mammals, and reptiles live in rainforests than anywhere else on earth. Unfortunately, half of the worlds rainforests have already been destroyed and at the current rate, another 25 percent will be lost by the year 2000. Scienntists estimate that as many as fifty million acres are destroyed annually. In other words, every sixty seconds, one hundred acres of rainforest is being cleared. When this happens, constant rains erode the former forest floor, the thin layer of soil no longer supports plant life, and the ecology of the region is altered forever. Thousands of species of plant and animals are condemmed to extinction and since we arent able to predict the ramifications of this loss to a delicate global ecology, we dont know what we may be doing to the future of the human species as well. 1.
