   "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 trace a "forest transition curve". They start in poverty with the land covered in trees. As they get richer, they fell the forest and the curve drops 【C2】______ until it reaches a low point when people decide to protect whatever they have left. Then the curve rises as  【C3】______ begins. At almost every point along the line, countries are now doing better: deforesters are 【C4】______ down less; reforesters are replanting more.
   This 【C5】______ to everyone because of the extraordinary contribution that tropical forests make to reducing carbon emissions. Trees are carbon 【C6】______. If you fell and burn them, you  【C7】______ carbon into the atmosphere. If you let them grow, they store carbon away in their trunks for centuries. Despite decades of destruction, tropical forests are still absorbing about a fifth of emissions from fossil fuels each year.
   Encouraging countries to plant trees (or discouraging them from logging)is by far the most  【C8】______ way of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. If Brazil had kept on felling trees as rapidly as it was cutting them down last year, it would, by 2023, have put an extra 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a way of helping the environment, protecting trees is  【C9】______ to beat. It is in everyone’s 【C10】______ to find out which forest policies work—and back them.
【C5】
选项
答案I
解析 分析句子成分，to everyone指明对象，because of the extraordinary contribution that…为原因状语，因而空格处缺少句子的谓语动词。This指代上文的“植树造林”，由句中原因状语because of…“因为热带雨林对减少碳排放有突出的贡献”可知，“植树造林”关乎每个人，matters“有关系”在语义上符合，故选I。appeals意为“吸引；呼吁”，常与to sb．构成搭配，但不符合上下文语义逻辑，故排除。
