The Amazon Rainforest covers much of Brazil. The green colour on the national flag of Brazil stands for the rainforest. However, climate change and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can fix itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. According to a new study, many trees there may die, and the Amazon Rainforest may turn into hot, dry grassland in a few years. Why is the Amazon “sick”? The Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts have hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. Besides, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. All these kinds of activities have made about of the rainforest disappear. What will happen if we lose the Amazon Rainforest? The Amazon Rainforest is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon Rainforest “dies”, there will be more , and our earth will become even hotter. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. They would very likely just disappear. 36．What do we know about the Amazon Rainforest from the first paragraph? A．It is smaller than half the size of China.

B．Because it is hurt by climate change and human activities. C．Because there are not enough animals living in it now. D．Because the Amazon River stops running through it. 39．What’s the writer’s purpose of talking about “lungs of our planet”? A．To show the Amazon Rainforest is important for the earth’s air. B．To tell readers the rainforest has the same shape as lungs. C．To explain how plants take in oxygen from the air. D．To prove the rainforest is the wettest place on the earth. 40．What can we infer from the passage? A．The Amazon Rainforest can never fix itself again.
