问题 What problems are Asian countries facing according to the United Nations’ report?
  
A United Nations’ report says Asian countries are facing major environmental problems. The report released in Bangkok said that parts of China, India, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan are threatened by man-made and natural events that turn productive land into deserts. It said the most serious threat to the area is the rapid shrinking of Asia’s rain forests, or woods, especially in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. The report said the reduction in wood areas has already led to increased flooding, water-shortages in the dry seasons and the loss of farm lands. A top U.N. official said that as much as 70% of the woods in Asia will be gone in 20 years unless actions are taken now to save them.

选项 A、Asian forests or woods become smaller and smaller at a reasonable speed.
B、Asian forests or woods become smaller and smaller at a high speed.
C、Asian forests or woods become smaller and smaller at a slow speed.

答案B

解析 这个区域面临的最严重的威胁(the most serious threat to the area)是雨林急速缩减(is the rapid shrinking of Asia’s rain forests),与B项内容相符。
