问题 The annual consumption of Coco-Cola per capita in the regional markets mentioned in the passage ranks in the following order.
  
As China’s vast interior gets richer, Grenda Lee, Coco-Cola’s Shanghai-based director of external affairs, finds herself dreaming about tapping the country’s rural market. Chinese peasants account for roughly 70 percent of China’s 1.3 billion people, but on average each drinks only three Coke products a year. That compares with some 60 drinks consumed annually in Shanghai and Beijing, 150 in Hong Kong and 420 in the United States. With so many customers at stake, potential profits take on epic scale.
It takes only a trip on the busy but rutted highway that leads north from here to understand how a huge swath of the Amazon jungle could have been razed over the course of just a year. Where the jungle once offered shelter to jaguars, parrots and deer, the land is now increasingly being cleared for soybeans, Brazil’s hottest cash crop.

选项 A、Highways have been constructed through the jungle to help ease the traffic in the cities.
B、Jaguars, parrots and deer that once inhabited the jungle have left because the place was getting too hot for them.
C、The land has been cleared for growing soybeans because it is the most popular Brazilian food.
D、Fast economic development has brought devastating changes to the natural environment in Brazil.

答案D

解析 语义判断推理。原文描述了亚马逊热带雨林一年来经历的巨大变化。最后一句具体指出这片土地曾经是各种动物的栖息地,而现在却被大量开垦用来种植经济作物。从我们对环境保护的背景知识可推测,这种变化应该是破坏性的。由此可知,选项D的内容与原文意义相符,因而是正确的。
