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 had.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文從三個方面告訴我們樹對人類來說是重要的。一是樹可以為人類和動物提供食物、木材和其他產品；二是樹可以給人類提供樹蔭；三是樹木可以防止干旱和洪水。因此我們要多植樹，注意保護樹木。

1.根據短文第二段中Trees provide man and animals with food to live on the earth.可知，樹可以給人類和動物提供食物。both…and …和…兩者都。

2.根據短文第一段中Trees are useful to man in three very important ways可知，樹在三個重要的方面對人類是有用的。即樹對人類來說是重要的，是有用的。故填useful和important。

3.根據短文第三段中On a hot summer day, people are eager to (急于) have a rest under the shade of a tree可知，在炎熱的夏天，他們可以在樹蔭下休息。hot 形容詞，熱的；shade 是一個名詞，意思是樹蔭。

4.根據短文最后一段The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods可知，樹可以幫助防止干旱和洪水。故這里應該填droughts和floods，兩個都是名詞。

5.根據短文最后一段However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers.可知，人類沒有意識到樹的第三個作用，還在大量地砍伐樹木。cut down 砍倒，砍伐。這個句子中使用的句型是stop sb. from doing sth.，阻止某人做某事這個句型，故這里應該填動名詞的形式。
