Unit 1 Trees 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2023春·上海·八年级单元测试）An old tree tell you… Dear human beings, I hesitated a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me. I’m a pretty old tree. I’m eighty years old, so I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for millions of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that you have pure air, we cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air-conditioners all the time, we help prevent the Earths soil from being washed away, and above all, we give all kinds of fruits, nuts, beans, as well as wood to you. But we are in great danger now because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, but you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients (成分) for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough materials for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. Moreover, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious, and your life would turn nasty… Well, the list could go on and on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop your bad practice. Please stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends! I wish the best for you, and good luck!
