Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage

1 Deforestation is the cutting or burning down of all the trees in a forest

and the conversion of forested areas to non-forest land for use such as
arable land or pasture, or for urban use. Deforestation results from
removal of trees without sufficient reforestation and results in decline in
habitat and biodiversity, in wood for fuel and industrial use, and in the 5
quality of life. In many countries, massive deforestation is ongoing and is
shaping climate and geography.
2
Deforestation is a substantial contributor to global warming and
although 70 per cent of the oxygen we breathe comes from the
photosynthesis of marine green algae and cyanobacteria, the mass 1
destruction of the worlds forests is not beneficial to our environment. In 0
addition, the burning of forests plants, in order to clear land, releases
3 tones of carbon dioxide which increase the impact of global warming.

Deforestation reduces the content of water in the soil as well as

atmospheric moisture. Deforestation reduces soil cohesion, so that
erosion, flooding and landslides often result. Flash floods and localized 1
4 floods occur more frequently because of deforestation. This would not 5
happen if there is sufficient forest cover.

Forests support considerable biodiversity, providing valuable habitat

5 for wildlife. Moreover, forests foster medicinal conservation and forest
biotopes are a major, irreplaceable source of new drugs (like taxol).

Deforestation also contributes to decreased evapotranspiration, which 2

lessens atmospheric moisture which in some cases affects precipitation 0
levels. Water is thus lost in, run-off and returns directly to the oceans.
6 According to one preliminary study of deforested areas of north and
northwest China, the average annual precipitation decreased by one
third between the 1950s and 1980s.

Long-term gains can be obtained by managing sustainable forest lands 2

to maintain both forest cover and provide a biodegradable renewable 5
resource. Forests are also important stores of organic carbon and can
7 extract carbon dioxide and pollutants from the air, thus contributing to
biosphere stability. Deforestation (mainly in tropical areas) accounts for up
to one third of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Forests are
also valued for their aesthetic beauty and as a cultural resource and
tourist attraction. 3
0
The effects of human-related deforestation can be mitigated through
environmentally sustainable practices that reduce permanent destruction
of forests or even act to preserve and rehabilitate disrupted forestland.
 These methods help provide a sustainable growth of forests and allow
lumber to become a renewable resource.

The Living Photograph

The Living Photograph

My small grandmother is tall there,
Straight back, white, broderie anglaise shirt,
pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round her eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in the black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.
It was true, after all, that look.
My tall grandmother became small.
Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable
But there she is still,
In the photo with me at three,
The crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
