Haloxylon ammodendron(梭梭树) is one
of the most special plants for deserts. It
looks like a small tree or a big bush(灌木).
But it's amazing because it can live in very
dry places.
One of the most outstanding things
about Haloxylon ammodendron is its roots
(根系). Its roots can grow 10 meters long,
reaching deep underground to find water.
This makes the plant stay alive even in
terribly dry conditions. The roots also stop
the wind from blowing the sand away. This
helps stop deserts from getting bigger.
This plant is also home to many desert
animals. Birds, insects, and small animals
find food and shelter(庇护所) here.
During these years, people planted a
large number of Haloxylon ammodendron
trees in desert areas. In northwest China,
many volunteers plant these trees. They
believe this can turn more desert land into
green areas.

【解析】
9. 细节理解题：根据原文第一句“Haloxylon ammodendron(梭梭树) is one of the most special plants for deserts.”，可知梭梭树是一种特殊的沙漠植物，A选项“沙漠里的动物”、C选项“节水工具”、D选项“建房的材料”均不符合原文描述，因此选B。
10. 词义猜测题：划线词后介绍梭梭树的根系长达10米，能深入地下找水、在极端干旱环境存活、还能防风固沙，这是梭梭树非常出众的优势特点，因此可推断outstanding的中文含义是“突出的”，选A。
11. 细节理解题：根据原文第三段“This plant is also home to many desert animals. Birds, insects, and small animals find food and shelter(庇护所) here.”，可知梭梭树可以给沙漠动物提供食物和栖息的家，A选项“给它们水”原文未提及，C选项“阻止沙漠扩大”是梭梭树对沙漠环境的作用，不是对动物的作用，D选项“保护它们不受人类伤害”原文无相关表述，因此选B。
12. 作者态度判断题：全文作者用了amazing等褒义词汇介绍梭梭树耐旱、固沙、为动物提供栖息地的诸多优点，还提到人们大量种植梭梭树改造沙漠，能看出作者对梭梭树持赞扬的态度，A失望、B漠不关心、D担忧均不符合，因此选C。
