Reading

Q 1. Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Deforestation

Deforestation means clearing the forests by cutting down or burning trees in a large number.

This is done to build homes, roads, bridges, etc. for the comforts and needs of rising

population. It has certainly harmful effects on the environment as well as our lives. In the

absence of trees which breathe out oxygen, the atmosphere gets more polluted and hotter than

before, leading to global warming. Global warming results in freak droughts, floods and

storms that cause heavy damage to crops, property and life in general. Trees provide much-

needed wood and medicinal material. When they are cut down, the poor people are badly hit.

Trees also check soil erosion. When there is no check on soil erosion fertile lands go barren

and food production is badly hit. Therefore, we must take immediate steps to check

deforestation. If we need to cut trees in some areas, we should plant more in others. Plants

around fields should be grown. People should be encouraged not to use wood for cooking.

Alternative fuels should be provided. Some sorts of legal bans on cutting trees should be

introduced and implemented strictly.

Answer the following questions:

1. What are the reasons for deforestation?

2. Mention any two effects of deforestation?

3. According to the passage which are the benefits of trees?

4. What steps must be taken to check deforestation?

5. Give synonym for the word productive.
