43.warming

44.havebegun

45.animals

47.but

48.medical

49.that

50.lies本文敘述了熱帶雨林在人們生活中的重要作用，它們能吸收太陽光調(diào)節(jié)地球上的溫度，減少人類得病，還能提供一些藥用的植物藥材為人類治病，因此，呼吁人們要保護(hù)熱帶雨林,進(jìn)而保護(hù)整個人類生存的環(huán)境.41.

句意：被高樹覆蓋的地區(qū)。此處是過去分詞做后置定語，可知答案為covered。42.句意：沒有森林的覆蓋，這些區(qū)域會反射更多的熱量進(jìn)入大氣層，溫暖世界的其他地方。此空填介詞without。43.句意：沒有森林的覆蓋，這些區(qū)域會反射更多的熱量進(jìn)入大氣層，溫暖世界的其他地方。此處是現(xiàn)在分詞做自然的結(jié)果狀語，故答案為warming。44.根據(jù)Inthepasthundredyears,可知句子用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，主語是humans，復(fù)數(shù)形式，故答案為havebegun。45.

句意：養(yǎng)農(nóng)家牲畜的土地。根據(jù)句意可知此處應(yīng)該用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，答案為animals。46.

副詞修飾動詞，故答案為obviously。47.句意：人們顯然需要我們從砍伐樹木中獲得的資源，但是我們將遭受比我們受益更多的痛苦。根據(jù)上下文可知是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，答案為but。48.句意：醫(yī)學(xué)的價值。形容詞修飾名詞，答案為medical。49.固定句式：Itislikelythat---，很可能---，故答案為that。50.

句意：很可能我們治愈疾病的最好機(jī)會是在世界上雨林萎縮的某處。根據(jù)句意可知句子用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)，主語是chance，單數(shù)第三人稱形式，故答案為lies?！久麕燑c(diǎn)睛】現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語和現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語的區(qū)別伴隨狀語的位置是可以在句首或者是句末；其次,它所表示的動作時與謂語同時發(fā)生的,只不過謂語動詞動作為主要動作,分詞動作為次要動作。如：Singingasong，hewalkedhome.Hewalkedhome，singingasong.他唱著歌回家去了。2.結(jié)果狀語的位置通常只能在句末,表示謂語動作所產(chǎn)生的自然結(jié)果.如：AterribleearthquakehappenedinChinain2008，causingthousandsofdeaths.2008年中國發(fā)生了一場大地震,造成了上萬人死亡。Theteacherpassedawa，,makingallthestudentsverysad.老師去世了,這使得所有學(xué)生非常難過。20.課文填空73.
