11.Rainforest is home to around twothirds of all plant and animal species found on land-in addition to millions of people who depend on them for survival-our remaining ancient forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems known to science.They are also very important to the health of our planet,especially when it comes to regulating(调节)the climate.But ancient forests around the world are under attack.Protecting rainforests is on the global agenda(议事日程)in a big way.Governments now recognize the importance of protecting tropical forests in order to avoid dangerous climate change,and there is now much debate(争论).As governments try to thrash out the details of a new international agreement,expected to be signed at the end of 2009,they are discussing how best to include measures to save rainforests,and therefore address one of the major causes of climate change.Worldwide,forest destruction causes more greenhouse gas emissions(排放) each year than do all the trains,planes and cars on the planet.So if we are to deal with global warming,there is an urgent need to find ways to reduce the 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction each year,and to keep the remaining forests standing.
We need to protect the planet's remaining forests not only to stop climate change from getting worse,but to ensure that we can stand the effects of global warming.Healthy forests take in and store quantities of carbon,helping to regulate temperature and generate rain.When they are destroyed,this carbon is let out into the atmosphere.Thus keeping forests standing is both an important part of regulating climate change and of adapting(适应) to a warmer world.
To date,most of the talk has focused on how to pay for reducing deforestation(滥伐森林),rather than on how to actually go about doing it.We believe governments need to support local people to protect their environment,as we have been showing for 20years can be a very effective way of saving rainforests.

分析 本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读,主要讲的是雨林对于气候的影响,目前雨林受到滥伐以及如何拯救雨林.
解答 54-56 ADC
54题答案:A考查主旨大意,本文主要讲的是雨林与气候改变之间的关系,故本题答案为A选项.
55题答案:D考查细节推理,根据后面的…they are discussing how best to include measures to save rainforests.(他们正在讨论如何才能最好地涵盖措施来拯救雨林)可知trash out一词意为"全面讨论",故本题答案为D选项.
56题答案:C考查细节推理,根据文章倒数第二段的Healthy forests take in and store quantities of carbon,helping to regulate temperature and generate rain.健康的森林吸收并且储存大量的二氧化碳,这有助于调节气温和造雨.可知本题答案为C选项.
