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 reaches 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.

选项
A、avoidable
B、vital
C、inevitable
D、perplexing
答案
C
解析
空格所在句提及“地球上曾经茂密的热带雨林近一半被砍伐”,而植被遭破坏之后恢复的周期很长,一半的热带雨林被砍伐,说明情况很严重,据此推断地球绿地进一步退化是必然的事。故先C项inevitable“必然(发生)的,不可避免的”。
