Here’s a longer text with 5 multiple-choice questions and 5 true/false questions for Grade 7

Global English:

Text:

The rainforest is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth. It is home to a wide variety of
plants, animals, and insects. Rainforests are often called the “lungs of the Earth” because they
produce a significant amount of oxygen and absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide. They play
a vital role in regulating the Earth’s climate by controlling rainfall patterns and helping to cool the
planet.

Unfortunately, rainforests are under threat. Deforestation, which is the clearing of trees for
farming and logging, is the main cause of rainforest destruction. As trees are cut down, the land
becomes vulnerable to soil erosion, and the animals that live there lose their habitats.
Deforestation also contributes to global warming, as trees absorb carbon dioxide, and when
they are removed, this carbon is released into the atmosphere.

To protect rainforests, governments, organizations, and individuals must work together. Many
countries have set up protected areas where logging is not allowed, and efforts are being made
to plant new trees. People can also help by choosing products that are sustainably sourced and
by supporting companies that protect the environment.
