The amazon is the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world-about 10 percent of all known species on earth dwell there. But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'big picture' of the vast rain forest.

The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in the

Amazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to come up with the figures.

The vast size and difficult terrain (地形) of the Amazon basin has historically

restricted studies of tree communities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack of

information has hindered science and conservation efforts, according to experts.

The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance, frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees.

Extrapolations based on the data, collected over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining U.S. States. While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number of

the types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber. \

very valuable information for further research and policy making,\Dr. Hans ter Steege, from the Netherlands.

The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to a

mathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.

U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said,\rare to find account for much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for

conservation that the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race.\62. The underlined word hinder is closest in meaning to

A. generated B. blocked C. sponsored D. improved

63. According to the passage, what made the collection of species information so difficult? A. The lack of experienced professionals in the field. B. The dangers of certain types of species.

C. The big area and complicated geographic situation. D. The unfavourable government law in the field. 64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The amazon rain forest covers 10 percent of the world's dry land. B. The conservation of amazon has been done well.

C. About 8000 types of trees belong to over 220 species. D. About 6000 Amazonnian tree types have died out. 65. The species conservation was made difficult by A. the negative climate of the amazon land B. the possibility of dying of rare species C. the lack of conservation fund
