18、 ways: they provide wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in l
19、arge numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, 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 more serious: for where there are
20、 trees, their roots break up soi allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing 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, nothi
21、ng remains but worthless desert. 36 What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage? （ A） They offer him shade. （ B） They provide him wood. （ C） They help him stop droughts and floods. （ D） They help him make money. 37 The origin of floods and starvation in some countries
22、 is _. （ A） too much rain washed away the soil （ B） forests took up too much land （ C） roots of the trees break up the soil （ D） there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil 38 Which statement is true about the disappearance of forests? （ A） Man should look after the new trees
23、 properly. （ B） Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees. （ C） Man cant cut too much wood. （ D） All of the above. 39 Whats the main idea of the passage? （ A） . How to plant new trees. （ B） The relationship between trees and man. （ C） How trees help prevent droughts and floods. （ D） How to

25、 civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boy
26、s pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how
27、they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的 ) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on lo-
28、 cal customs and ways of life because toys imitate(模仿 ) their surroundings. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a dir
29、ect line of ascent (进步 ). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓 ) used by a baby in 3,000 B.C. to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness.
