【答案解析】

【听力原文】
The forests in eastern Zimbabwe supply the country with wood and most of its fresh fruit. But the removal of large numbers of trees and use of fire to clear land have caused a lot of damage to the area. Officials say Zimbabwe lost more than 1.5 million hectares of forest in 2016. This is mostly because of local communities cutting the trees for firewood or setting fires in forested areas to make hunting easier.

【解析】 原文提到, 2016年津巴布韦损失了一百五十万公顷的森林, 主要原因是当地社区大量砍伐树木做柴火, 以及烧山方便打猎。 故正确答案为D。
