But do you know why?Tropical rainforests took between 60 and 100 million years to evolve (进化) and are believed to be the oldest and most complex landbased ecosystem on earth, containing ov
3、er 30 million species of plants and animals. Thats half of the Earths wild animal species and at least twothirds of its plant species! Rainforests store water. In fact, it is believed that the Amazonian forests alone store over half of the Earths rainwater! Rainforest trees draw water from the fores
4、t floor and release it back into the atmosphere. Without rainforests continually recycling huge quantities of water, feeding the rivers, lakes and irrigation systems, droughts would become more common.Do you know that we also depend on trees to cleanse (净化) our atmosphere? They absorb the carbon dio
5、xide that we breathe out, and provide the oxygen we need. However, when rainforest trees are burnt, they release carbon dioxide, which pollutes the atmosphere and contributes to global warming.Surprisingly, soil in the rainforest is very poor in nutrients. This is because the nutrients are stored in
6、 the huge numbers of trees and plants rather than in the soil. Tree roots bind the soil together, while the canopy (树荫) protects the soil from heavy rain. When a tree dies and its trunk falls to the forest floor, it breaks down and the nutrients it contains are recycled. However, if trees are remove
7、d from the forest, the nutrients are removed with it. Whats worse, the unprotected soil is then simply washed away by heavy rain, causing floods in lowland rivers while leaving upland rivers dry.Many local people have been living in harmony with the rainforest for thousands of years, depending on it
8、 for their food, shelter and medicines. When oil and logging companies come to remove vast areas of forest, they bring diseases which people there have no resistance to and threaten their survival. Often they are also forced to move away from their homes to unfamiliar places, sometimes even being ki
9、lled in the process.21.What can we learn about rainforests from Paragraph 2?A.They are impossible to recover once damaged.B.They are too old and complex to evolve themselves.C.They have fewer wild animal species than plant species.D.Theyre important homes to wild animal and plant species.22.Why does
10、 the author mention the poor soil in the rainforest?A.To stress the importance of trees to soil.B.To encourage improvement of soil there.C.To explain a very interesting phenomenon.D.To raise peoples awareness of protecting soil.23.What can we learn from the passage?A.We can burn rainforests to make
11、the land richer.B.We should do our best to prevent global warming.C.We should protect rainforests instead of destroying them.D.We can depend on many things to cleanse our atmosphere.BA new study has identified pollution as the worlds No.1 killer. Study organizers say pollution is responsible for mor
12、e premature deaths than war, terrorism, natural disasters, smoking and disease. By saying premature death, the researchers mean dying before the average age of death within a population group. Many of these deaths can be prevented.A report on the study was published in the medical journal The Lancet
13、. The researchers looked at pollution levels, both inside enclosed (封闭的) buildings and in the world around us. They concluded that pollution killed about 9 million people in 2015. That would represent one of every six deaths worldwide.Karti Sandilya helped to prepare the report. He said, “Pollution
14、damages fundamental human rights, such as the right to life, health, wellbeing, safe work as well as the protection of children and the most vulnerable (易受伤害的).”The report said the large majority of pollutionrelated deaths take place in developing countries. The researchers say leaders in those coun
15、tries are more concerned about building their economics and public services than environmental controls. Some of the most affected countries are Bangladesh, China, Haiti, India, Pakistan, North Korea and South Sudan.But Richard Fuller, another writer of the report, said pollution is tied to slow eco
16、nomic development in both rich and poor nations. He said, “Finance ministers still hold firmly that you have to let industry pollution or else you wont develop. What people dont realize is that people who are sick or dead cannot contribute to the economy. They need to be looked after.”The report sai
17、d that 9 million premature deaths a year is only a conservative figure. It said the actual number is likely to be much higher.A separate study by the World Bank said reducing pollution must be a top goal. It said that settling this problem would lead to approaches to other dangers, including poor nu

19、hs cannot be prevented worldwide.C.Pollution has something to do with slow development.D.Pollution has caused more premature deaths than expected.26.Why is “A separate study” mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To provide more information about pollution.B.To make the findings of the first study more
20、convincing.C.To offer more specific approaches to deal with pollution.D.To emphasize the relationship between pollution and global warming.27.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?A.Pollution Is the Worlds Number One Killer.B.Pollution Is Becoming Increasingly Serious.C
21、.What Makes Pollution Increasingly Serious.D.How People Deal with Pollution Worldwide.CScientists are trying to save Puerto Ricos endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds habitats and food sources(来源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico.
22、 Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living i

By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counte

Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the islands only remaining native parrot.

A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are cons
26、idering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was

31、 threat.More and more of these invaders, in the form of larvae (幼虫) or seeds, are surviving in coastal areas around the South Pole, where the temperature has risen by more than 3 over the past three decades. Glaciers have retreated, exposing more land which has been occupied by mosses that have been
32、 found to be growing more quickly and thickly than ever before providing potential green homes for invaders.“The common house flies are a perfect example of the problem the Antarctic now faces from invading species,” said Dominic Hodgson of the British Antarctic Survey. “It comes in on ships, where
33、it exists in kitchens and then at bases on the continent. It now has an increasing chance of surviving in the Antarctic as it warms up, and that is a worry. Insects like the house flies carry bacteria that could have a deadly effect on native lifeforms.”The Antarctic has several native species of in
34、sects. Together with its native mosses, these are now coming under increased threat from three major sources: visiting scientists, increasing numbers of tourists and global warming. However, it is global warming that is the main driver of the greening of Antarctica.In 2015, more than 38,000 tourists
35、 visited Antarctica. “These tourists are often very careful about not leaving waste or having mud. But they could carry seeds or larvae on their boots when they set foot on the Antarctic,” said Hodgson.More and more invasive insects and plants have been found on the Antarctic and have required remov
