Câu hỏi: 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 following questions from 22 to 28.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we cat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
A. The consequences of deforestation were greater than what people can imagine.
B. The more rainforests are destroyed, the harder people's life will become.
C. Everyone is not aware of the significance of the rainforests.
D. People's economic benefits are more important than environmental problems.

(…Với tất cả những điều tốt đẹp mà chúng ta nhận được từ rừng nhiệt đới, thật ngạc nhiên khi phát hiện ra rằng chúng ta đang phá hủy rừng nhiệt đới. Trên thực tế, 1,5 mẫu Anh, hay 6.000 mét vuông, rừng nhiệt đới biến mất mỗi giây. Những khu rừng đang bị chặt phá để làm ruộng cho bò, thu hoạch cây trồng và để lấy đất làm trang trại. Cùng với việc mất đi vô số loài vật có giá trị, việc tàn phá rừng nhiệt đới tạo ra nhiều vấn đề trên toàn thế giới. Việc phá hủy rừng nhiệt đới dẫn đến ô nhiễm nhiều hơn, ít mưa hơn và ít oxy hơn cho thế giới.)
