Question

13．Trees are of great use to man in three important ways：they offer him wood and other useful things，they give him cool places，and they help to stop dr ought and flood．
In many parts of the world，unfortunatel y，man has not found that the third of these points is the most important．Man wants to make money from trees，so he has cut them down in large numbers，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had．And also，he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees．So the forests slowly disappear．
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees．The results are even worse：for where there are trees，their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also b ind（粘合，凝結(jié)） the soil，thus stopping it from being washed away easily； but where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away，causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil．When all the top-soil is gone，nothing is left but useless desert．

Answer 1

分析 本文敘述了樹木在人們的生活中起著很重要的作用，短文給出了三個(gè)方面的作用．一是樹可以給我們提供食物、木頭和其他的一些產(chǎn)品．二是樹木可以給我們提供樹蔭．三是樹可以防止旱災(zāi)和水災(zāi)．因此如果人們不保護(hù)樹木，最終就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們失去了最好的朋友．

解答 12．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段In many parts of the world，unfortunatel y，man has not found that the third of these points is the most important可知樹對(duì)人類最重要的一點(diǎn)是他們幫助他阻止干旱和洪水；故選A．
13．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段so he has cut them down in large numbers，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had．And also，he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees可知森林消失在許多地方的原因是大量地砍伐，新樹沒有得到很好的照顧以及不關(guān)注植樹；故選D．
14．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段for where there are trees，their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also b ind（粘合，凝結(jié)） the soil，thus stopping it from being washed away easily可知土地變成了沙漠因?yàn)闆]有樹木來保持降雨和保護(hù)土壤；故選D．
15．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段they offer him wood and other useful things，they give him cool places，and they help to stop dr ought and flood可知最佳標(biāo)題為樹木的作用；故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
