13、reat navigators impression is the first known written,description,of a rainforest.It remains hard to beat.Rainforests are extraordinarily beautiful,but the beauty is fragile.,Forty-five million years ago rainforests covered the city of London,and rainforests were then over 30 million years old.That
14、makes them the oldest communities of,living,things on the planet,.,14/38,Today the world rainforests cover,no more than,seven per cent of its surface even though they still contain more than 50 percent of the earths living species.The greatest and most famous of all remaining rainforests is found in
15、 Brazil,whose Amazon Basin,with its thousands of small and large streams,is almost totally covered by trees.The rest of the worldrainforests can only be found in West Africa,South-East Asia,and the pacific islands.,15/38,When the rainforests are cleared,they take a long time to come back.A few rapid
16、ly growing species quickly become,established,but this secondary growth,as it is called,is far less rich and varied.,16/38,Who is really to blame?It is the modern world that has,speeded up,the process of destruction.Once,it took a team of men a whole day to cut down a giant tree.Now,a single man can
17、 do it in ten minutes.Since 1945 half of the worlds rainforests have come down.,17/38,It is people themselves who are the biggest,cause,of destruction.The wealthy own the best land,and the poor of the world are forced to find land where they can find it,and it is there,under the trees.So the trees a
18、re removed.,18/38,When trees disappear from the land,the water sources suddenly disappear.The land itself,washes away,either becoming very poor or complete desert.Worse still,the climate is likely to change as the trees are no longer there to absorb the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The gas rises
19、 and traps the suns heat in much the same way as the glass of a greenhouse,leading to a slow but steady build-up of temperature.,19/38,What is the,way out,then?Both the problem and the solution seem to be economic.Governments still need money to pay their families,and companies still need to,make pr
20、ofits,.On the other hand,by purchasing renewable rainforest products,and demanding sustainable harvesting of rainforest resources,we all can be part of the solution and it is human beings that will be saved.,20/38,失乐园,热带雨林是大自然赐予我们最宝贵礼品之一,但现在它们正在逐步消失。这到底是怎麽回事呢?。,克里斯托弗。哥伦布曾说他从未看见过比热带雨林更漂亮地方,那里树木“青翠欲滴,
21、不一样于我们树木,开满鲜花,挂满果实。小鸟在树上婉转地歌唱。”,这位伟大航海家对热带雨林印象是已知最早文字描述。后人记载总显得逊色。热带雨林异乎寻常漂亮,然而这份漂亮却是脆弱。,4500万年前,热带雨林覆盖着整个伦敦城面积,那时他们就有3千万年历史了。所以,热带雨林成为这个星球上最古老群居生物。,21/38,当前世界各地热带雨林覆盖面积仅为地球表面百分之七,而其拥有地球上活着生物物种则超出百分之五十。在全部热带雨林中,最壮观、最著名是在巴西发觉热带雨林。分布着成千上万条大小溪流亚马逊盆地,几乎完全被树林所覆盖。其余热带雨林主要分布在西非、东南亚和太平洋诸岛。,砍伐一空热带雨林需要很长时间才能重
22、新长成。少数生长较快物种会很快长起来,然而这种次生林,正如它名字一样,其物种要贫乏多。,实际上应该归咎于谁呢?正是当代世界加紧了这种毁坏进程。过去砍倒一棵大树需要一群人花一整天时间。而现在只需要一个人在十分钟内就能完成。自1945年以来,世界上热带雨林已降低二分之一。,22/38,恰恰是人类本身成了破坏热带雨林罪魁祸首。富人占有了最好土地,世界上穷人被迫去寻找他们所能找到土地即树下土地。于是,树木被砍掉了。,树木从大地消失之后,水源也突然消失了。泥土本身被水冲走,土地要麽变非常贫瘠,要麽完全成了沙漠。更糟糕是,这些地方因为没有树木吸收大气层中二氧化碳,气候可能随之发生改变。二氧化碳在大气层中集
23、聚起来,像温室玻璃一样吸收太阳热量,造成气温迟缓而稳定地上升。,那麽,出路何在呢?问题存在与处理似乎都和经济相关。政府依然需要钱来还债,移民依然需要钱来养家糊口,而企业也依然需要赢利。另外,假如我们购置可再生雨林产品,坚持雨林资源可连续利用,我们就已经部分地处理了问题,而人类本身也得到了拯救。,23/38,vocabulary snapshot,absorb contain economic establish harvest impression no more than process speed up sustainable vary worse still,24/38,absorb,T
