"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【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 reach-es 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.
This matters to everyone because of the extraordinary【C9】________that tropical forests make to reducing carbon emissions. Trees are carbon【C10】________. If you fell and burn them, you【C11】________carbon into the atmosphere. If you let them【C12】________they store carbon away in their trunks for centuries. Despite decades of【C13】________, tropical forests are still【C14】________about a fifth of emissions from fossil fuels each year.
Encouraging countries to plant trees (or【C15】________them from logging) is by far the most【C16】________way of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.【C17】________Brazil had kept on felling trees as rapidly as it was cutting them【C18】________in 2005, it would, by 2013, have put an extra 3.2 billion tonnes of car-bon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a way of【C19】________the environment, protecting trees is hard to beat. It is in everyone’s interest to find out which forest policies work—and【C20】________them.
【C16】
选项
A、sentimental
B、sensible
C、effective
D、useless
答案
C
解析
此处填入的形容词表示在降低温室气体排放方面,植树所能起到的作用。上文提及树能够吸收排放到大气中的碳,由此推断植树在降低温室气体排放方面是有效的。故选C项effective“有效的”。D项useless“无用的”与原文意思相反,首先排除。A项sentimental“多愁善感的”常指人的感情,不能用来修饰无生命体。用森林吸收温室气体也许是最合理的,但文中并没有线索可推断出来,故排除B项sensible“合理的”。
