问题     "Forests are the lungs of our land," said Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Twenty years ago, the world’s lungs were diseased. Roughly half of all the planet’s once-luxuriant tropical forests had been felled and the further deterioration of the Earth’s green spaces seemed【C1】________.
    Over time countries【C2】________a "forest transition curve". They start in【C3】________with the land covered in trees. As they get richer, they fell the forest and the curve drops sharply until it reach-es a low point when people decide to【C4】________whatever they have left. Then the curve rises as reforestation【C5】________At almost every point along the【C6】________, countries are now doing better: deforested are【C7】________down less; reforesters are【C8】________more.
    This matters to everyone because of the extraordinary【C9】________that tropical forests make to reducing carbon emissions. Trees are carbon【C10】________. If you fell and burn them, you【C11】________carbon into the atmosphere. If you let them【C12】________they store carbon away in their trunks for centuries. Despite decades of【C13】________, tropical forests are still【C14】________about a fifth of emissions from fossil fuels each year.
    Encouraging countries to plant trees (or【C15】________them from logging) is by far the most【C16】________way of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.【C17】________Brazil had kept on felling trees as rapidly as it was cutting them【C18】________in 2005, it would, by 2013, have put an extra 3.2 billion tonnes of car-bon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a way of【C19】________the environment, protecting trees is hard to beat. It is in everyone’s interest to find out which forest policies work—and【C20】________them.  
【C2】

选项 A、ignore
B、trace
C、transfer
D、modify

答案B

解析 此处需要一个动词,表示各国对于forest transition curve“森林转变曲线”所采取的行为。下文提及各国森林面积的变化都遵循了一定的规律,因此选B项trace“追寻……的轨迹”。文中并未提及各国森林的发展与曲线不一致,排除A项ignore“忽视”。文中也未提及各国对曲线的“转换”和“修改”,故排除C项transfer“转换”和D项modify“修改”。
