Although Charles Darwin(达尔文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition(营养) such as nitrogen(氮) and carbon depending on who needs it.Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all.Simard talks about Mother trees. These are usually the largest, oldest plants that on which all other trees depend. These Mother trees are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down Mother trees without paying attention to these highly complex tree societies of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.We didnt take any notice of it, Simard says sadly. Mother trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.（1）The underlined sentence the opposite is true in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees . A . compete for survivalB . protect their own wealthC . depend on each otherD . provide support for dying trees（2）Mother trees are very important because they . A . look the largest in size in the forestB . pass on nutrition to young treesC . bring more wealth to humansD . know more about the tree societies（3）The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to(指代) . A . how tree societies workB . how trees grow oldC . how forestry industry developsD . how young trees survive（4）We can learn from the passage that . A . trees arent as complex as we thinkB . Charles Darwin had the same opinion as SimardC . if Mother trees are cut down, they wont make difference to young treesD . trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks11. （10分）根据短文内容，判断句子的正误。 Tom is an eight-year-old student in Grade Three.
