问题     The atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion(枯竭、耗尽)of rain forest areas "the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs(恐龙)".
    Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest depletion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down one area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon’s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.
    According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground.
    The world’s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would limit the destruction of the rain forests.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
选项 A、The United Nations says about 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down every year.
B、Luckily people and mass media all paid special attention to the depletion of rain forests.
C、The author thought the oceans’ survival is questionable.
D、People have stopped cutting down rain forests because of the opposition of most people.
答案B
解析 本题问：根据本文，下列哪种说法是真的?真伪判断题。逐项核对不难发现：选项B与原文中的这句话无异：Unlike some environmental issuses，rain forest depletion has fortunatelyreceived significant public and media attention．故选B。其它选项均与原文不甚相符：选项A中的原有数字被换了；选项C是张冠李戴了，把雨林换成了海洋；选项D与原文意思则完全相悖，原文说“尽管遭到反对，(砍伐)问题仍在继续”，选项D却说“人们因遭到反对已停止砍伐雨林了。”
