Вопрос:

B. Read the following text carefully: The Amazon forest covers five million square kilometers, an area as big as the whole Europe excluding Russia. It contains one third of the world's trees. However, the trees are disappearing. By 1974, a quarter of the forest had already been cut down. In the following year, 1975, four per cent of the remaining trees went. If the destruction of the forest continues at the same rate, there will be nothing left in a few years. Scientists say that the disappearance of trees is already causing changes in the climate. In Peru, there is less snow than before on the high peaks of the Andes mountains. In Bolivia there is very little rain. What will happen if more of the Amazon forest is cut down? According to climatologists if the Amazon forest disappears, there will be less oxygen and it will be difficult for us to breathe, the temperature will rise, the ice-caps at the North and the South poles will melt. Even the sea level will rise. Therefore, seaside cities will be flooded. Scientists do not agree about the calculations which can be done in different ways with different results. But all the scientists agree that if we destroy the Amazon forest, it will be an environmental suicide. Life on earth will become difficult, and it may become impossible. 1-Give a title to the text. 2-Say whether the following statements are true or false: a-The Amazon forest is bigger than Europe. b-It contains most of the world's trees. c-Deforestation leads to climate change. d-If the Amazon forest is destroyed, the coastal towns will be under water.
