Plants and Mankind

　　Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don"t know what our Stone Age1 ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient2. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes3, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon4 recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.

　　Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge5, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid6. When our Neolithic7 ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away8 .

　　答案及題解：

　　1.A 文章第一段第三句話中的指示詞“This”回指上一句話中的陳述，即“關(guān)于植物及其特點(diǎn)的詳細(xì)知識(shí)一定由來(lái)已久”。

　　2. A 第二段降到植物對(duì)于人類(lèi)而言是極為重要的，為人類(lèi)提供了食物、衣服、工具、藥物等生活必需品。

　　3. B 第一段結(jié)尾部分提到現(xiàn)今仍生活在亞馬孫叢林中的部落能識(shí)別成百上千種植物及其特性，但在他們的詞匯中還沒(méi)有“植物學(xué)”這個(gè)詞，甚至有可能不承認(rèn)“植物學(xué)”是專(zhuān)門(mén)的知識(shí)。因此在學(xué)校中不可能設(shè)該課。

　　4. B 第二段第一句話說(shuō)工業(yè)化的程度越高，我們與職務(wù)的直接接觸就越少。

　　5. B 第二段中說(shuō)人們無(wú)意識(shí)地獲得了大量植物學(xué)知識(shí)，由此可以退出這些知識(shí)不是從教科書(shū)中獲得的。

　　6. A 第二段提到當(dāng)生活在大約一萬(wàn)年前中東地區(qū)的人們發(fā)現(xiàn)從某些禾本植物中可以收獲糧食，并且播種后下一個(gè)收獲季節(jié)還能產(chǎn)出更多的糧食時(shí)，農(nóng)業(yè)就出現(xiàn)了。

　　7. B 第二段末尾講從大約一萬(wàn)年前開(kāi)始從事農(nóng)耕時(shí)起，人們逐漸地停止采食也過(guò)，這是因?yàn)槊妊繒r(shí)期的農(nóng)耕技術(shù)還十分落后，人們還不能從中獲得足夠的糧食。
