問題詳情：

    people depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住處), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).

Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧氣). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.

Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循環). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.

Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (穀物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.

When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!

Trees are an important plant resource (資源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

【分析】

這是一篇説明文，文章主要講述植物的用處。人們離不開植物，植物提供食物、布料、住處甚至是呼吸的空氣。

36．細節理解題。根據第二段“Oxygen is part of the air we breathe”氧氣是我們呼吸的空氣的一部分。故選D。

37．細節理解題。根據第三段“Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air”植物吸收的大部分水又回到空氣中。故選A。

38．詞義猜測題。根據“because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food”卡車不需要把你的食物帶去商店，因為你不需要用包裝袋來放你的食物，你也幫助減少了垃圾的數量。可知此處表示“減少”， cut down on相當於reduce。故選C。

39．標題概括題。根據第一段“People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住處), and even the air we breathe”可知文章主要講述的是植物的用處，可概括為The Uses of Plants。故選B。
