12、ern forests. Now, with the data, we see that humans are contributing much，”said Rama Nemani, a coauthor of the study. Chinas outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part (42%) from programs to conserve and expand forests. These were developed in an effort to reduce the effe

13、cts of soil erosion, air pollution and climate change. Another 32% there 82% of the greening seen in India comes from intensive (集约的) growing of food crops.However, researchers point out that the greening in the future depends on numerous aspects, both on a global level and the local human level. Fo

14、r example, increased crop production in India is promoted by groundwater irrigation. If the groundwater is running out, its crop production will be on the decrease, leading to less greening.The gain in greenness seen around the world and led by China and India does not offset the damage from loss of

15、 natural vegetation in tropical regions, such as Brazil and Indonesia. The consequences for sustainability (可持续性) and biodiversity in those ecosystems remain.Nemani is pretty excited about the findings, not just because the greener, the better. “Once people realize theres a problem, they tend to fix

17、r?AThe expanding of leaf area in northern forests.BWarmer and wetter climate in China and India.CFavorable weather and increased CO2 in the air.DTreeplanting programs and intensive agriculture.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和第二段中的“Chinas outsized contribution to the global greening trend comes in large part (42

18、%) from programs to conserve and expand forests . India comes from intensive (集约的) growing of food crops.”可知，中国和印度正引领着地球绿化的增加，而这主要源于中国的植被计划和两国的集约农业。故选D。2What does the example in Paragraph 3 prove?AIndian crop production may decline.BHumans advance the global greening.CThe greening trend may change.D

19、Groundwater in India is running out.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，地球的绿化趋势由很多方面决定，通过接下来所举的例子可知，如果印度地下水枯竭，作物产量就会下降，进而导致绿化减少。由此可推知，这个例子表明绿化趋势可能会出现变化。故选C。3What does the underlined word “offset” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?APrevent.BBalance.CInterrupt.

22、 problem, they tend to fix it” “in the 90s, people realized it; and today things have improved. Humans are unbelievable adaptable”可知，当人们意识到问题时，他们会想办法来解决。人类具有出乎意料的适应能力。由此可知，研究结果表明了人性积极的一面。故选A。BMost of us have been in this situation: Youre on your way to your friends house, then you suddenly ask yours
