文章主要分析了雨林对植物、动物和人的重要性，雨林正在逐步消失，杰夫成立了俱乐部教人们保护雨林的方法。

【1】由句首可知多数人对雨林不感兴趣；根据空格下文“Secondly, they seem dark and dangerous.”可知空格和下文是进一步阐述多数人对雨林不感兴趣的原因，空格后用 Secondly，推断空格是表顺序词“First of all”，故选B。

【2】根据下文“Since then he has had one goal: to tell people the importance of rainforests”—— 自从那时起，他就有一个目标：告诉人们雨林的重要性；判断空格指某个时间点，故选A。

【3】根据下文“Many of the animals there cannot live anywhere else.” ——那里的许多动物不能在别的地方生活。根据句子表达的逻辑顺序，推断空格指雨林是很多动物的家，故选G。

【4】“Rainforests are disappearing very quickly” 是本段的主旨句，推断下文是围绕雨林的消失做进一步的陈述；故选F。
