Circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best option for each of the blanks. Deforestation is the act of cutting down or burning trees or wildfires in large areas in a forest. It (31) ________ the landscape around the world significantly for millions of years. Around 2,000 years ago, the forest cover in Western Europe was 80 percent. (32) _______, it is only 34 percent today. Between the 1600s and the 1870s, almost half of the woods in eastern North America were cleared for farming and logging. China has also seen a severe (33) _______ of forests over the past 4,000 years, so only about 20% of the country is covered in trees today. Deforestation has put the biodiversity of the planet at risk. Many species in tropical woods might
go (34) _______ as a result of forest clearing or fires. Some scientists claim that the period of major extinction has already begun. The destruction of forests might also cause soil erosion, (35) ________ may turn the forest environment from a closed, wet habitat to an open, dry one. As a consequence, the remaining plants will catch a fire more easily.

There hasn't been a formal, standardised definition of heatwave up to now. However, in general, heatwaves can be defined as an extreme weather event with extended periods of high temperature. Heatwaves mostly occur in the summer when an area has high pressure. The system of high pressure moves slowly and might remain over a region for several days or weeks at a time. Research indicates that climate change is increasing the likelihood of heatwaves. It is predicted that severe heatwaves could occur more frequently as greenhouse gas concentrations rise. Heatwaves are not simply uncomfortable. They can cause diseases and even death, especially among elderly people, very young children and other vulnerable groups. In addition, long-lasting extreme heatwaves can harm crops, endanger or kill livestock and raise the risk of wildfires in a forest. They can also cause a sudden rise in electricity as there is a high demand for air conditioning. Heatwaves are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity as the Earth's temperature rises. If people do not take action to adapt, an increase in heat could result in an increase in heat-related illnesses and fatalities. Therefore, it can be said that increased mortality and illnesses can be a result of even slight increases in temperatures. 36. The definition of heatwave has been agreed on by researchers. _______ 37. Heatwaves can take place easily in summer. _______ 38. Greenhouse gases can be a reason for frequent heatwaves. _______
