Ⅲ．阅读理解
The Amazon River carries rain and snowfall from high in the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean．Along its journey，the river has created a unique environment that serves people beyond the borders of Brazil．The Amazon River basin is possibly the earth’s most fragile and necessary ecosystem．The basin holds an astonishing 20 percent of the earth’s fresh water，more than the next six largest rivers combined．The flow of the Amazon is so powerful that it dilutes (冲淡) the salt water more than one hundred miles of beyond the coastline．
The Amazon River basin is a rainforest or jungle．It is home to a diversity of life forms found nowhere else on earth．The rainforest includes more than two million species of insects，one hundred thousand plants，two thousand species of fish and six hundred mammals．The basin also has huge reserves of rare metal．The flow of the Amazon River can also be harnessed to provide hydroelectric (水力发电的) power．Trees and vegetation in the basin help to balance CO2 and oxygen．Trees and vegetation use CO2 to make their food and release oxygen into the atmosphere．
The rainforest of the Amazon River basin provides a valuable resource to the entire planet，but it is being destroyed．People are moving into the Amazon basin and clearing the rainforest to build cities．The rainforest is often cleared to create land for feeding cattle．Finally，miners clear the land in order to get its minerals．
The deforestation (砍伐森林) of the Amazon basin may have long reaching effects．When the trees are removed，we reduce the amount of CO2 taken from the air．Some scientists predict that the build-up of CO2 will cause global warming．If the temperature of the earth rises，polar ice will melt，which will raise the level of the ocean and possibly， flood south Florida．

A．has changed the environment on the Andes Mountains
B．is becoming more and more fragile due to droughts and floods
