What has happened to the Amazon jungle
A．Highways have been constructed through the jungle to help ease the traffic in the cities.
B．Jaguars, parrots and deer that once inhabited the jungle have left because me place was getting too hot for them.
C．The land has been cleared for growing soybeans because it is the most popular Brazilian food.
D．Fast economic development has brought devastating changes to the natural environment in Brazil.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：语义判断推理。原文描述了亚马逊热带雨林一年来经历的巨大变化。最后一句具体指出这片土地曾经是各种动物的栖息地，而现在却被大量开垦用来种植经济作物。从我们对环境保护的背景知识可推测，这种变化应该是破坏性的。由此可知，选项d的内容与原文意义相符，因而是正确的。 注意：对环境保护的背景知识有助于正确解题。
