The Dead Sea Could Die
I'm not a sea but a lake. And I'm not dead. In fact, I've got many plants and animals. I'm saltier than any sea, so people can lie on my surface. Rivers flow into me. But now people take too much water from them. My water level is going down. I am becoming smaller year by year. Take less water, or I'll dry up within the next 100 years. Then I really will be dead!
Rainforest — Forest ≠Rain
I'm the rainforest of Madagascar. As my name suggests, I make rain for my plants and animals, such as monkeys, snakes and many kinds of flowers. For 80% of them, I'm their only home in the world. However, people are cutting down my trees for wood and to make space for farming. Please stop it. I'm disappearing.
I'm a glacier(冰川)at the Glacier National Park in America. It's a land full of ice and snow. Do you want to explore the white world in the film Frozen? Then my home is the best choice. Two hundred years ago, there were about 150 glaciers. But now, there are around 25. Please stop climate change. I'm turning into Waterworld!

解析
【解析】
51. 三篇文章分别介绍死海、马达加斯加雨林、美国冰川国家公园的冰川，均属于自然范畴，因此可在报纸的自然板块（NATURE）读到，故选A。
52. 根据第一篇中“Rivers flow into me. But now people take too much water from them. My water level is going down.”可知，死海水位下降是因为人们从流入它的河流中取走了太多水，故选D。
53. 根据第二篇中“However, people are cutting down my trees for wood and to make space for farming.”可知，人们砍伐马达加斯加雨林的树木以获取农耕空间，故选D。
54. A选项错误，第一篇提到死海有许多动植物；B选项错误，第三篇提到冰川数量从200年前的约150个减少到现在的约25个；C选项正确，第二篇提到“For 80% of them, I'm their only home in the world.”，说明该雨林为许多物种提供家园；D选项错误，文章是呼吁人们采取行动保护自然，说明相关地区人们还未采取足够行动，故选C。
55. 第三篇主要讲述冰川因气候变化正在变成水世界，D选项“If Frozen Turns into Waterworld”既关联文中提到的《冰雪奇缘》，又点出冰川的变化，最适合作为标题；A仅描述冰川特征，B、C与文章核心内容不符，故选D。
