In the opinion of the speaker, ____ are being destroyed terribly at present. [br]
The atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E.O.Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion of rain forest areas "the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs". Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon’s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost. According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground. The world’s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would limit the destruction of the rain forests.
选项
A、The United Nations says about 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down every year.
B、Luckily people and mass media all paid special attention to the depletion of rain forests.
C、The author thought the oceans’ survival questionable.
D、People have stopped cutting down rain forests because of the opposition of most people.
答案
B
解析
细节题。A在数据上有问题,50 million只是一些人的估计,联合国统计的数字是17 million acres。C错在是rain forests而不是oceans的生存有问题。D与原文不符。只有B是正确的,即幸运的是这一问题得到了大众和媒体的特别关注。
