in concert to keep every living thing in balance.
This is especially obvious in places like central Africa and in South American tropical rainforests where certain animals help keep trees safe and healthy, which is critical as trees absorb vast amounts of planet-warming carbon pollution.
Recent research warms that losing the creatures that nurture tees puts forests in danger. This, by extension, is helping to accelerate dangerous climate change.
In central Africa, for example, elephants eat fast-growing trees, making room for those that grow more slowly. The slow-growing trees with their very dense wood- store more carbon than the thinner, faster developing ones. Without elephants, more carbon would accumulate in the atmosphere, worsening climate change, according to a new study that used computer models to project what could happen if elephant populations continue to decrease or become extinct. “Africa may once have contained 10 million elephants from the Mediterranean to the Cape, in every habitat except extreme desert. In 1970, there may have been a million left. By the end of the 1980s, there were half that number, mostly killed for the ivory trade,\
By killing elephants, poachers (偷猎者) rob slow growing tees of their guardian. They also slow the growth of new tees. Elephants blaze (开辟) trails and disperse (散播) seeds as they look for food. \are basically the gardeners of the forest,\distances than other dispersers.\
Blake, who has spent nearly 20 years in Africa working in elephant research and conservation, mourns their fate, describing them as “a complex society of intelligent, caring, emotional animals who respect their grandmothers and mourn their dead,\
“We will go to Mars there is no doubt- humans are too smart not to,\ not have the wisdom to protect elephants and their forest environment that do so much for our physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.\58. Elephants help keep slow growing trees safe and healthy by _____. A. providing living space for them
B. dispersing seeds when searching for food
C. decreasing in number and reducing carbon accumulation D. protecting them in the forest from being cut down 59. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The world is changing at a faster speed than before.
B. People are intelligent enough to protect the environment.
C. What we behave done to protect elephants is far from satisfactory.
D. Animals are so smart that they care much about the well-being of humans. 60. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Elephants are in danger of dying out in the near future.
B. Elephants are fighting climate change in ways humans can't. C. Animals are assumed to be the gardeners of the forest. D. Animals are accelerating dangerous climate change.
C
London, New York, Tokyo and Paris- these famous cities have a commanding influence on the world economy and are home to millions of people, as well as internationally famous arts, culture and educational institutions. But they are hardly representative of the rest of the world's cities. While 54% of the global population live in cities, around half of those live in cities that have 500,000 inhabitants or fewer.
These \erlooked by politicians, investors, researchers and big businesses. But they are dynamic places with many layers of social, cultural and economic significance. After experiencing a period of post-industrial decline, many such cities are considering urban regeneration (再生) programmes.
But that doesn't mean they have to follow the same path as other urban areas. In fact, the research into urban development has found that ordinary cities can avoid some of the ill-effects of regeneration, by embracing what makes them unique.
