　　She was named Wales’third national poet in 2008 and works as a poet，playwright，editor and translator.She is the author of several poetry collections and many broadcast plays.

　　The rain forest is thick with plants and ringing with the sounds of wild animals.When we think of the rain forest we usually think of abundant life.In fact，rain forests contain the world’s greatest abundance and variety of life.One research station in a Peruvian rain forest counted six hundred species of birds.That’s about as many species of birds as there are in all of North America.And the diversity of the plants is even greater than that of the animals.

　　Since the rain forest is full of green plants，you may think that crops can also grow well there; but when the forest is cleared for farming，the soil changes suddenly and greatly.If the tropical，lowland rain forest (热带低地雨林)，like what fills the Amazon basin of South America，is destroyed，the soil will generally become very barren in one year.

　　One reason the rain forest is so poor is that most of the nutrients are stored in the plants themselves.In most forests，dead organic matter (有机物) falls to the ground，providing valuable nutrients for new growth.In cooler or drier weather，the nutrients in the soil become larger in number.But in a rain forest，with its abundance and variety of life，those nutrients are reabsorbed almost as fast as they’re deposited (使沉淀)．Also，the trees in tropical rain forests are often evergreens and so very few leaves actually fall to the ground.

　　When a rain forest is burned to raise crops or cattle，most of the nutrients are destroyed along with the plants.Grass may grow for a year，but as the grass is turned into beef，the few remaining nutrients are used up.

　　Since land in the rain forest is cheap，farmers often clear new fields each year，leaving the old ones to turn into desert.

　　【解题导语】　雨林茂密的绿色植物让人们觉得那儿的土壤一定非常肥沃，然而，事实却并非如此。

　　31．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

　　A．The rain forest plays an important role in feeding wild animals.

　　B．The weather in the rain forest has many surprising features.

　　C．The growing conditions in the rain forest are rare and favorable.

　　D．There are large numbers and many kinds of plants and animals in the rain forest.

　　解析：选D。段落大意题。第一段主要说明了雨林中野生动植物的数量大，种类繁多。

　　32．The underlined word“barren”can be replaced by“________”．

　　A．damp

　　B．black

　　C．poor

　　D．soft

　　解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据前文“Since the rain forest is full of green plants，you may think that crops can also grow well there；but when the forest is cleared for farming，the soil changes suddenly and greatly.”可知，“你”可能会觉得庄稼也能在雨林中长势良好；但是，森林一旦被砍伐，土壤就会发生剧变。再结合第三段“One reason the rain forest is so poor is that...”可知，如果热带低地雨林受到破坏，土壤在一年之后就会变得非常贫瘠。因此可知，“barren”意为“贫瘠的”。

　　33．Where are most nutrients kept in a rain forest?

　　A．In the plants.

　　B．In the soil.
