Task 1
Directions:
After
reading
the
following
passage,
you
will
find
5
questions
or
unfinished statements. For each
question or statement there are 4 choices marked
A),B),C),and D). You should make the
correct choice and mark the corresponding
letter on the blank.
Trees
are useful to man in three very important ways:
they provide him with wood
and other
products; they give him shade; and they help to
prevent droughts (
干旱
) and
floods.
Unfortunately,
man
has
not
realized
that
the
third
of
these
services
is
the
most
important.
Two
thousand
years
ago
a
rich
and
powerful
country
cut
down
its
trees
to
build
warships,
with
which
to
gain
itself
an
empire(
帝国
).
It
gained
the
empire,
but,
without its trees, its soil became hard
and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home
country found itself faced by flood and
starvation.
Even
though
a
government
realizes
the
importance
of
a
plentiful
supply
of
trees,
it
is
difficult for it to
persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want
wood to cook their
food with; and they
can earn money by selling wood. They are usually
too lazy to plant
and look after the
trees. So, unless the government has a good system
of control, or can
educate the people,
the forests will slowly disappear.
This
does
not
only
mean
that
the
villagers'
children
and
grandchildren
will
have

fewer trees. The results are even more
serious, for where there are trees their roots
break
the soil up allowing the rain to
sink in - and also bind the soil, thus preventing
its being
washed away easily but where
there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground
and flows
away from the surface,
causing flood.

Providing fuel.

shade.
