50.lies本文叙述了热带雨林在人们生活中的重要作用，它们能吸收太阳光调节地球上的温度，减少人类得病，还能提供一些药用的植物药材为人类治病，因此，呼吁人们要保护热带雨林,进而保护整个人类生存的环境.41.

句意：被高树覆盖的地区。此处是过去分词做后置定语，可知答案为covered。42.句意：没有森林的覆盖，这些区域会反射更多的热量进入大气层，温暖世界的其他地方。此空填介词without。43.句意：没有森林的覆盖，这些区域会反射更多的热量进入大气层，温暖世界的其他地方。此处是现在分词做自然的结果状语，故答案为warming。44.根据Inthepasthundredyears,可知句子用现在完成时态，主语是humans，复数形式，故答案为havebegun。45.

句意：养农家牲畜的土地。根据句意可知此处应该用名词的复数形式，答案为animals。46.

副词修饰动词，故答案为obviously。47.句意：人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源，但是我们将遭受比我们受益更多的痛苦。根据上下文可知是转折关系，答案为but。48.句意：医学的价值。形容词修饰名词，答案为medical。49.固定句式：Itislikelythat---，很可能---，故答案为that。50.

句意：很可能我们治愈疾病的最好机会是在世界上雨林萎缩的某处。根据句意可知句子用一般现在时态，主语是chance，单数第三人称形式，故答案为lies。【名师点睛】现在分词作伴随状语和现在分词作结果状语的区别伴随状语的位置是可以在句首或者是句末；其次,它所表示的动作时与谓语同时发生的,只不过谓语动词动作为主要动作,分词动作为次要动作。如：Singingasong，hewalkedhome.Hewalkedhome，singingasong.他唱着歌回家去了。2.结果状语的位置通常只能在句末,表示谓语动作所产生的自然结果.如：AterribleearthquakehappenedinChinain2008，causingthousandsofdeaths.2008年中国发生了一场大地震,造成了上万人死亡。Theteacherpassedawa，,makingallthestudentsverysad.老师去世了,这使得所有学生非常难过。20.课文填空73.
