解析

短文属于说明文。短文对雨林的分布，所包含的动植物的种类，它的重要性，以及它的危险状况等等做了介绍。小题1:细节理解题。从Paragraph 1“Therearen’tany rainforests in EuropeorNorthAmerica.” 这句得知欧洲和北美没有雨林，因此排除A、D、C三个选项。小题2:推理判断题。从Paragraph 2“Therearemanyverybeautifulbirds,inctsand  reptiles.”这句中得知reptiles与鸟、昆虫并列，可以推测出它不包括这两类；而sparrow “麻雀”swallow“燕子”都是属于鸟，butterfly“蝴蝶”属于昆虫，因此这三项应排除。小题3:综合理解题。Paragraph 4主要讲“therainforestsareindanger”，比如，面积在减少，动植物绝迹等等。A项最符合本段的中心意思。小题4:主旨大意题。本文从雨林的重要性讲到它面临的危机，旨在告诉大家给予保护。
