Question

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. The first important way is that they provide man with food，wood and other products. Trees provide man and animals with food to live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth without trees.
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day，people are eager to（急于）have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods. However，in many parts of the world，man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end he finds that he has lost the best friends he once had.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是樹木的重要性，他們在三個重要的方面對我們來說是非常有用的。一是樹木可以為人類和其他動物提供食物、木材和其他的產品；二是樹木可以為我們提供陰涼；三是樹木可以防止干旱和洪水。所以保護樹木是很重要的。
小題1:根據短文第一段的最后兩句話Trees provide man and animals with food to live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth without trees可知，樹木給人類和動物提供食物，讓他們住在地球上。對于人類而言，沒有了樹住在地球上是困難的。故這個題的答案是否定的。
小題2:根據短文的第一段第二句話The first important way is that they provide man with food，wood and other products可知，樹對于人類來說第一個重要的方面是他們為人類提供食物、木材和其他的產品。故由此可知，這個題的答案為They provide man with food, wood and other products。
小題3:根據短文第二段中On a hot summer day，people are eager to　have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way.可知，在炎熱的夏天，人們在走了很長的路之后，急于在樹蔭下休息一下。故答案為Under the shade of a tree。
小題4:在短文的最后一段中，作者告訴了我們樹的第三個重要的方面，即樹木可以防止干旱和洪水。可是在世界上的很多地方，人們沒有意識到樹的這個作用。他們還是大量的砍伐樹木，最后，他們就會失去這個最好的朋友。這里最好的朋友指的就是trees，即樹木。
小題5:這是一個開放性的問題，答案并不是唯一的。題目中問到的是為了保護樹木，我們應該做些什么。例如我們可以節約用紙，用紙的兩面書寫；或者在生活中我們要保護樹木，故亂砍濫伐，多種樹等。
