问题 Recent scholarship has questioned the (i)________of tropical forests around the world. Archeologists have shown, for example, that the largest contiguous tract of what was thought to be virgin rain forest in the southern Amazon had been transformed into a cultural parkland before European contact, and many of the forest islands in West Africa’s savanna-forest transition zone are (ii)________as well.
Blank (i)         Blank (ii)
A. diversity      D. isolated
B. naturalness    E. endangered
C. sustainability F. anthropogenic

选项

答案B,F

解析 先看空格(ii),and…as well表示前后同义重复。and前面说热带雨林已经发展成了a cultural parkland,and后面说许多森林岛屿也是________,所以空格(ii)对应transformed into a cultural parkland,也要表达“人为改造”的意思,F项anthropogenic(人为的)最符合。再看空格(i),逻辑连接词是for example,表示前后同义重复。前面说最近学者质疑热带雨林的________,后面举例说曾经认为是原始(virgin)热带雨林的土地其实早已经发展成了cultural parkland,所以学者应质疑森林的原始性,因此空格(i)对应virgin,表达“原始”的含义,B项naturalness最符合。
