2026年智慧课堂自主评价八年级英语上册人教版第42页答案
B
Long ago, when the Ancient One first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept growing. Then the Ancient One pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What's the tree? It's the Baobab tree, also called monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others.
The Baobab tree looks strange and it grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “Bottle Tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-storey(层)building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks(树干)sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit.
Baobab is called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can take in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark(树皮)to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it.
