Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world．    In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals．This action affects the environment as a whole．For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests．People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.    There are two main  reasons for this．Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two．Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply．     Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store．More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests．However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value．It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests． 49．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they                ．   A．reflect more heat into the atmosphere   B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world   C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃   D．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth 50．What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?   A．We will lose much more than we can gain．   B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests．   C．People have a strong desire for resources．   D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests． 51．It can be inferred from the text that      A．we can get enough resources without rainforests   B．there is great medicine potential in rainforests   C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land   D．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns 52．What might be the best title for the text?   A．How to Save Rainforests   B．How to Protect Nature   C．Rainforests and the Environment   D．Rainforests and Medical Development ‎ 第二节 摘录信息 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分。）‎ 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第53-57小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。 ‎ 注意：每空不超过3个单词。【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ People living in the country enjoy several advantages that people living in the city can’t enjoy.

Recently my classmates and I have found　some problems with the school library. I’m writing to you to voice my opinions.‎ The books in the library are not only old and worn/ broken but also in disorder. So it is not convenient/ easy for us students to find the books we need.‎ In my opinion, all the books should be sorted and put on the shelf in order so that the students can find the books easily and quickly. Besides, It’s better to buy some up-to-date/ updated books. In this way we students can be attracted to the library and make better use of the library, which will help us make greater progress in study.‎ Hoping my advice can be of some help and looking forward to your early reply.‎ Best wishes.‎ ‎ Yours truly,‎ Li Hua
