SECTION III: READING
Part 1: Read the text carefully and choose the best option to answer the questions below.
The rate at which the deforestation of the world is proceeding is alarming.

This decrease from 25 percent to 20 percent from 1950 to 1973 represents an astonishing 20million square kilometre of forests. Predictions are that an additional 20 million square kilometres of forests will be lost by 2020.
The majority of deforestation is occurring in tropical forests in developing countries, fuelled by the developing countries’ need for increased agricultural land and the desire on the part of developed countries to import wood and wood products. More than 90 percent of the plywood used in the United States, for example, is imported from developing countries with tropical rain forests. By the mid-1980s, solutions to this expanding problem were being sought, in the form of attempts to establish an international regulatory organization to oversee the use of tropical forests.
