问题     Rainforests are called the lungs of the planet, because they absorb carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas, and produce oxygen, which is【C1】______important to our well-being.【C2】______the fact that rainforests cover only 12 percent of the land-area of the Earth, they are home to【C3】______of the world’s plant and animal species, and for local populations they are a【C4】______source for food, fiber, fuel and medicines. Tropical forests【C5】______global and regional climate-systems, and【C6】______moisture into the atmosphere, which then returns to earth in the form of rain.
    【C7】______, where the land has been logged, there are no longer trees to produce the rain cycle which cools down the atmosphere, or to reduce carbon dioxide levels,【C8】______ to climate change. Because of tropical deforestation, animal and plant【C9】______is disappearing, and at least one species becomes【C10】______every day.
    Now that people are no longer【C11】______of the destructive lumbering of forest, the United States has partnered with the private sector, other governments and civil society organizations to form the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020(TFA 2020). The alliance aims to【C12】______ and coordinate actions by all partners to reduce tropical deforestation【C13】______ to key agricultural commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, and paper. In support of TFA 2020, USAID【C14】______in early July that it will contribute $5.5 million to a separate but related public-private partnership with the World Resources Institute. With the help of this new tool, TFA 2020 partners will be able to more easily monitor tropical deforestation, and then quickly【C15】______ the information.
    The United States has consistently worked to【C16】______ the conservation of tropical forests by advancing【C17】______ and cooperative approaches, developing【C18】______ technical expertise and services, and【C19】______ leadership. With the new multi-national, public-private TFA 2020 partnership, we look forward to further increasing the【C20】______of our engagement.
【C7】
选项 A、Likewise
B、Therefore
C、Nevertheless
D、Moreover
答案C
解析 逻辑衔接题。句意为：然而，在热带雨林被砍伐的地区将不再有树木产生雨水循环来冷却大气以及减少二氧化碳的含量，而这一过程有助于调节气候。上文提到了热带雨林调节全球和区域性气候系统，下文阐述在热带雨林被砍伐的地区将不再有树木来调节气候，上下文构成转折的逻辑关系，所以nevertheless“然而，不过”为答案。likewise“同样地，也”，表示并列关系；therefore“因此，所以”，表示因果关系；moreover“而且，此外”，表示递进关系，均不符合上下文逻辑关系，故排除。
