For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.

(2015年宁夏银川实险中学月考)A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16ºC. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源); land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals, This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run itactually reduces the world's wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world's drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However , fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value . It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests.1.Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .A.Reflect more heat into the atmosphereB.Reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earthC.Bring about high rainfall throughout the worldD.Rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16ºC2.What does the w ord “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A.Humans have begun destroying rainforests.B.People have a strong desire for resources.C.We will lose much more than we can gain.D.Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests3.It can be inferred from the text that .A.We can get enough resources without rainforestsB.We will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landC.The level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsD.There is great medicine potential in rainforests4.What might be the best title for the text?A.Rainforests and the environmentB.How to save rainforestsC.How to protect NatureD.Rainforests and Medical Development语篇解读热带雨林对环境有很大的影响,因为它们能够调节气候,本文重点介绍了失去热带雨林的危害。
