The atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion(枯竭、耗尽)of rain forest areas "the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs(恐龙)".
Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil
chops down
one area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon’s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.
According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground.
The world’s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would limit the destruction of the rain forests.
Why did Wilson regard "the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs" to be the depletion of rain forest areas?
选项
A、The writer did not give his explanation in detail.
B、The rain forests’ survival is questionable.
C、It will become warmer and warmer with the depletion of rain forests.
D、Many wild animals and beasts will extinct as result of the depletion of rain forests.
答案
A
解析
本题问:为什么威尔森把雨林的毁灭称之为“自恐龙灭绝时代以来的最大灭绝”?这是一道貌似因果关系的考题。其实,本文中根据就没有提及威尔森这样说的原因,因此应该选A。作者没有详细说明。
