解析試題分析：這篇短文介紹了植物的存在對于人類的意義，短文詳細描述了植物是如何造福人類的，并告訴我們關心愛護植物的重要性。
【小題1】結合下文and oxygen(氧氣)及首字母，可知考查短語both……and，……和……都。
【小題2】通過語境可知指物生產氧氣，描述客觀事實用一般現在時態，主語為復數名詞，故填動詞原形produce。
【小題3】結合下文可知句意為：設想一個沒有植物的世界，結合首字母可知填介詞without。
【小題4】結合下文可知句意為：不能聽到樹葉的響聲，本句中to為不定式符號，結合首字母可知填原形動詞hear
【小題5】考查短語side to side，從一邊到另一邊。
【小題6】結合語境可知句意為：每個地方的人們都需要植物的美麗。故填everywhere。
【小題7】結合語境可知句意為：你給過他們關心愛護嗎？結合首字母可知填give。
【小題8】結合下文hopeful ideas充滿希望的思想及首字母可知考查名詞love，抽象名詞不可數，用原形即可。
【小題9】結合下文可知指的是在底下，結合首字母可知填介詞under。
【小題10】根據上文above the earth,在地上，可知指的是莖葉，more更多，故用復數形式leaves。
