Reading Comprehension(40%)

Passage 1

There are stories about two U. S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren,which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don't know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.

这是关于两个美国总统:安德鲁. 杰费逊和马丁. 范布郎的故事,这个故事解释了美国英语短语Ok.我们不知道这两个故事是否是真的,但是它们都很有趣.

The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write "all correct" on it. The problem was that he didn't know how to spell, so what he really wrote was "ol korekt". After a while, he shortened that term to "OK".

第一个故事是根据杰费逊受过很少的教育的事实而来的.事实上, 杰费逊总统在阅读和写作方面都有困难.当有重要文件拿给杰费逊时,他设法读而且会让他的助手们解释.如果他同意这份文件,他会写上”都正确”.问题是他不知道如何拼写,因此他写的实际是”ol korekt”.不久,他就把它缩短为OK.

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren's friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called "OK".

第二个故事是关于范布郎总统的出生地纽约的Kinderhook而来的. 范布郎总统的朋友们组织了一个俱乐部来支持他竞选总统.这个俱乐部叫”the Old Kinderhook Club”,而且每个支持范布郎总统的人都叫OK.

Passage 2

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society。Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry (林业), and most the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but mos t Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities

with their suburbs) of more than a million people each--a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.

尽管美国有大量的土地而且生产的事物超出现有人口的需要，它的人民现在几乎完全是城市化的社会。全国不到1/10的人从事农业和林业，而且其它大多数人都生活在城镇里或附近，不过城镇是大还是小。传统的局面正在改变：每个小镇之间仍然非常相像。典型的小镇代表了国家里被广泛认可的看法，但是大多数美国人不再居住在小城镇。现在将近一半的人口居住在大约30个大城市地区（包括大城市和郊区），每个城市有100多万的人口，占德国，英国的很大一部分，更不用说法国。要小心统计城市和农村的人口因为很多住在城里的人每天开车去附近的城镇上班。由于人们都想搬出城镇，在城镇范围内的农村地区正慢慢地/逐渐盖满了房子，因此很难估计一块农村用地哪天会变成郊区。但是越来越多的典型美国人都住在大都市里而不是小城镇。

36. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry? 如果美国有250百万人口，那么有多少人从事农业和林业？

A. About 25 million.

B. More than 25 million.

C. Less than 25 million.

D. Less than 225 million.

37. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas? 下列哪个国家住在大都市的人口是最少的？（法国）

A. United States.

B. Germany.

C. France.

D. England.

38. What's the meaning of the word "metropolitan" in the middle of the passage?

Metropolitan在文章里是什么意思？

A. Of a large city with its suburbs.

B. Of small and large towns.

C. Of urban areas.

D. Of rural areas.

39. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?

根据短文，我们可以了解关于小城镇的一些信息：

A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.

B. Small towns are still similar to each other.小城镇互相之间仍然很相似。

C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.

D. Small towns are turning into large cities.

40. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?

为什么很难估计一块农村用地哪天会变成郊区？

A. Because they are the same.

B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.

C. Because the process is gradual.因为这个过程是逐渐的。

D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.

Passage 3

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.

如果别人问我们一年前正在做的事情,我们可能不得不说我们不记得了.但是如果我们有本笔记而且记下每天做的事情,我们就能够回答这个问题了.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, w e know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been

sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.

历史也是如此.由于我们没有书面的纪录,许多事情都被遗忘了.有时人们确实纪录了他们国家里的重大事件,但经常由于战争或火灾而没有保存下来.有时根本没有书面纪录因为那个时候那个地方的人们不知道写字。比如，我们非常了解4000年前居住在中国的人们，因为他们为后来人留下了书面纪录。但是我们对200年前生活在中非的人们几乎一无所知，因为他们还没有学会写字。

当然，有时即使人们不会写字，他们也可以知道过去的事情。他们从老一辈那听过来，通常纪录重大事件的是歌曲，舞蹈和故事的形式，而且被许多代人传唱和表演。因为大多数人对讲父辈们的过去感到非常自豪。这我们可以叫做“被记住的历史”，很多这样的历史已经成为书面纪录。它并不象书面的历史那么准确或有价值，因为语言在转述的过程中比抄写更容易受改变。但是假如没有书面纪录，这些流传的故事还是很有帮助的。

41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?

下列哪个句子文章没有提到？

A. "Remembered history", compared with written history, is less reliable.

B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.

D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.

如果没有书面纪录，就没有历史。

42. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______.

我们对生活在200年前的中非一无所知是由于

A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time

B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record

C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire

D. the people there did not know how to write当地人不会写字。

43. "Remembered history" refers to _______.“被纪录的历史”是指

A. history based on a person's imagination

B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth

口头转述的重大事件的故事

C. songs and dances about the most important events 根据重大事件改改编的歌曲和舞蹈

D. both B and C B和C

44. "Remembered history" is regarded as valuable only when _______.

“被纪录的历史”只有在没有书面纪录的时候才被认为是有价值。

A. it is written down

B. no written account is available

C. it proves to be true

D. people are interested in it

45. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we

Passage 1

Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard (蜥蜴) in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw. After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel (松鼠) and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creature s from the woods near his school.

如果不是由于儿童时代的一次事故，Harvey Gates博士，著名的科学家，有可能永远也发现不了Kamron蜥蜴。在孩提时代，他决心要当棒球运动员，但是14岁，练习（in practice）棒球时折了手臂，被迫离开球场一段时间。他开始注意

到身边的自然世界而且迷上了自然。在他复原以后，他捉到一只松鼠并把它当宠物养。很快他就经常把学校附近森林里的蛇和其它动物（creature）带回家。

In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology.

Passage 2

I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 am. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.

我将在早上11点半参加驾驶考试。天下着雨，当我在9点50快到驾驶学校时，我的心一沉。我的驾驶教练Stan说了些鼓励的话，设法使我放松，但无济于事。

出发去考试中心还有一个小时。我想绕一下考试圈，但是我们被交通困住了，只能慢吞吞地往前开。

We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective (各自的) examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.

我们在11点到达考试中心。Stan示意我看六个学员和他们各自的考官走出大楼。他们的教练从两个窗户探出头看。我们看着他们开走。他们肯定非常紧张。

Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn't-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.

Stan带我去可能的测试道，指出考官所设的机关。天气变得更糟了，我的心情似乎也更糟了。

我已经无所谓了，几乎平静下来。我们及时回到测试中心，正好六个考试的人回来了。他们刚才的心情肯定糟透了。

Passage 3

The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.

Passage 1

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.

Suppose someone tells you, "you're a lucky dog". Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal", that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes？Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

我们在任何年纪都会犯错误.有些错误是与钱有关的.而大多数是与人有关的。“当我真得与海伦分手,杰瑞真得关心吗?”.. “当我获得好工作时,作为朋友，杰瑞真的为我开心吗?或者他是嫉妒我呢?”当我们回首过去,这些疑问令我们不安。但是当我们回首时，已经太迟了。为什么对于我们的朋友---或者我们的敌人我们会弄错呢？有时人们所说的隐藏了他们的真实感情。如果我们不用心听，我们就会错过话语的真实感情。

假设有人说，你是个幸运儿。他是出自真心真意吗？如果他说，“你是个幸运的家伙”，那么是发自内心的。在这些词语里，幸运儿有妒嫉的含义，可能说话的人自己没有意识到。但是“dog”这个词放在词语里，就把你贬低了。他可能想表达的是他认为你不应得到如此好的运气。

如何来判断对方话语的真正感情呢？方法是要注视着对方，判断他的话与表情是否一致？与语调是否一致？还有体态？眼神？好好琢磨琢磨！花时间考虑对方说话的真正感情也许可以避免再犯错误。

31. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _______

根据第一段的问题我们知道作者觉得他可能没有真正的了解朋友的真实感情。

A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

B. feels he may not have "read" his friends' true feelings correctly

C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen

D. is sorry that his friends let him down

32. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of "You're a lucky dog" to show that _______.第二段，作者使用了例子“你是个幸运儿”来表达

A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

B. this saying means the same as "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal"

C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words

有时对方说的话就提供了他们真实的感情。

D. the word "dog" shouldn't be used to apply to people

33. This passage tries to tell you how to _______

短文设法告诉我们在理解人们说的话时，如何避免犯错误。

A. avoid mistakes about money and friends

B. bring the "dog" bit into our conversation

C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

D. keep people friendly without trusting them

在倾听别人讲话时，最重要的事情是根据对方的举止，语调，体态来判断对方的话。

A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes

B. to listen to how he pronounces his words

C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture

D. not to believe what he says

35. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would _______

如果你听从作者的建议，你将能够读懂别人话语的真实感情。

A. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you

B. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy you

Passage 2（12月统考已考）

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter could set him free.

为什么巴士底狱对巴黎的市民如此重要？它在1370年查尔斯五世时期建造的。在17世纪以前，它一直是重要的国防。Richelieu大主教把它变成了监狱。它不是惩罚普通罪行的普通监狱。它只关国王的敌人。巴士底狱的运行是秘密的。犯人关在密闭的车里带进来。而且守卫必须面朝墙壁。不允许说话。最糟糕的是，犯人永远不知道将被关多久。只有国王的亲笔信才能释放犯人。

Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions ( 贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717 ~1718, and another 12 days in 1726.

由国王签发的逮捕越来越少。到它被攻陷的时候，里面多数的犯人是写了反对政府贪污文章的作家。法国著名作家伏尔泰，1717-1718年在巴士底狱呆了一年，接着在1726年又关了12天。

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.

对那些崇尚言论自由，思想自由的人来说，巴士底狱代表着邪恶。它被攻陷时，里面只有7个犯人。但是，巴士底狱还是遭人们的唾弃。它是国王绝对权利的象征。

36. The Bastille had been a prison _______

A. since the time of Charles V

B. since 1370

C. before the seventeenth century

D. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu

Passage 3

Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

每天几乎每个家庭都至少买一份报纸。一些人甚至订2到3份不同的报纸。但是为什么人要看报纸呢？

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or

killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.

五百年钱，重大事件，如战争的输赢，国王被废或被杀等，需要好几个月甚至是好几才能传到另外的国家。口头传述的消息永远是不准确的。通过报纸，现在我们可以看到当天发生在遥远国度发生的事情。

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

除了提供全世界的新闻以外，报纸还为我们提供了其它有用的信息。有天气预报，收视指南，书评，故事，当然还有广告。大公司总是用很大的产品广告来吸引读者。他们要用几千美元来付广告版面，但是物有所值，因为他们的产品广告随着报纸已经进入了千家万户。对生产报纸的人来说，广告是很重要的。广告费使他们能够以低价出售报纸，但是还能够赢利。

You will find that college classes are very different from high school classes. You will have more work and responsibilities without being pushed as much. 61 , you will have more freedom--freedom to choose what to study, when to study, or

62 to study. You will need to exercise maximum self-discipline. This is the hardest kind of discipline because it is

你会发现大学课堂与中学课堂是非常不一样的。不需要催促，你将会有更多的任务和责任。另一方面，你会有更多的自由----选择学什么，何时学，或是否学的自由。你需要锻炼自我约束。这是最难的约束，因为它是志愿的，你只需要

对自己负责。关于学习习惯所做的决定将是大学生活成功与否的一个决定性的因素。而且，你将发现你的导师与以前的老师有很大的差别。他们期望你在学习习惯和时间管理上有更大的主动。千万记住，学习主要在课外举行。如果有证据表明你全身心投入学习中、，那么老师会给你额外的帮助。要成功，除了你的能力和技术掌握程度，你还需要有效的管理时间。

When I visited the Netherlands last year, my first impression was that it was all too good to be true: a country where everyone is satisfied! So, 61 that young people everywhere are gifted social critics, I sought out some university students and 62 what issues young people were 63 . I was stunned to learn that the main problem students there see is with employment. In a country that's made good work conditions a(n) 64 , this came as a real surprise. Even more stunning was the fact that it wasn't unemployment 65 these students were worried about -- it was a shortage of highly paid management positions 66 to fresh university graduates. As the students expressed their resentment toward the older generation for" 67 all the good jobs" and their bitterness over the thought of struggling to 68 on an entry-level salary, I couldn't help 69 my own early employment experiences. I had graduated with honors form a good school, but my first job was doing door-to-door market research for a salary that just barely allowed me to get by.

Passage 1

When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, "Why did she live to be 1077" Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city's image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.

This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯), and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking. On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

当Gorger 太太在奥地利的维也纳去世后，经常听到人们很明显问这样一个问题“为什么她能活到107岁？”所以，这个对维也纳的年龄达到或超过100岁的其中148名长寿者做的一份问卷调查回答了这个问题。让人有点惊讶的是，这其中的大多数人都住在城市。尽管，城市往往给人不利健康发展的地方的印象，但是，居住在城市的好处有些正是住在乡村里的人所缺乏的。根据对这些长寿者的采访，人们发现了保持长寿的一个最重要要素。

这个要素就是运动。在城市里，如果你去的地方不是很远的话，常常走路要比等公车快。即使你要乘一些交通工具，有时候你也要先走点路。一些小的公寓楼是没有电梯的，所以人们必须要爬楼梯。城里人往往走路去超市。因为在城市里想找到停车位是相当困难的，所以人们不得不选择走路。

另一方面，那些住在农村或郊区的人，每天驾车去他们各自的学校，公司或者其他地方。事实上，这种和城市完全相反的情况是的确存在的。

Passage 2

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist (剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us us e about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness, and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

对于英国人来说，谁是世界上最伟大的剧作家，他们根本不会有争议。因为在他们心中，只有一个人才符合这个称呼，这个人就是：威廉.莎士比亚。每个英国人对这个伟大的剧作家的作品都或多或少有些了解。我们经常引用一些莎

士比亚作品里的词句，这些都成了讲英语人民的共同财富。很多时候，人们常常不知道他们使用的语言的出处。象一个老太太一次去看《哈姆雷特》的戏剧时，就不停抱怨里面的话语都太有名了。

比起其他作家来说，莎士比亚是最能全面，完整地使用英语这一丰富语言资源的一个作家。我们在日常使用中可能会用到5000个左右的单词，但是莎士比亚却用到了25000个。

对于任何一个学外语的人来说，研究莎士比亚的作品是很好的学习方式，因为研究他的作品可以了解英语语言的丰富性和多样性。尽管现在这些词句改变了很多，但是对他作品的研究还是非常有价值的。

36. English people _______.

B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.

C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare's time.

D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

为什么说研究莎士比亚的作品是有价值的？

B．通过这种研究可以了解英语语言的丰富性和多样性。

Passage 3.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) 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 draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that there will be 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. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

树有三种非常重要的作用：一，树木能给人类提供木材；二，树木能为人们提供阴凉之处；三，树木能防旱防洪。

令人遗憾的是，世界上很多地方的人们没有意识到树木的重要性，特别是它防旱防洪的功能。人们为了眼前的利益，大面积地砍伐森林。

两千年前，一个富有且强大的国家为了建造他们心中的帝国，砍伐树木建造船舰。虽然他们建造了帝国，但是没了树，这个国家的土地变得贫瘠和光秃。当这些船舰毁于一旦时，他们的国家也面临着洪水和饥荒的灾难。

即使政府已经意识到树木充足的重要性，但是有时候要让人们认识到这一点却并不容易。他们砍伐了树木，却忽略了去种植树木。所以，除非政府建立一个体系去有效地控制或者去教育人民，森林才不会消失。

这样做不仅仅是因为树越来越少了，而是因为如果我们再一味砍伐树木的话，其后果会越来越严重。有树的地方，树根会切随泥土，让雨水渗入，从而保持了土壤，防止其流失。但是，没有树的地方，雨水会直接落在地面上，随之冲走，这样会引起洪水。另一方面，雨水冲走了庄稼上的富饶的土壤。当这些土壤都冲光了，那么这个地方除了沙漠什么都没了。
