【題目】 GIY stands for “grow it yourself” and is about a new fashion for growing your own food. There are a lot of reasons why growing your own food is a good idea. GIY helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (排放物). Food in supermarkets travels a long way and that produces a lot of CO2. If you grow as many vegetables as you can at home, you can help save the earth.

Vegetables you grow are also good for your health because they have more nutrients than supermarket vegetables and they don’t have chemicals.

How much money can you save? First of all, seeds are a lot cheaper than vegetables, and secondly, you can save more by planting the most expensive and the most productive (多產(chǎn)的) vegetables. You can give your vegetables to friends and neighbors. It can make you very popular.

Don’t worry if you don’t have much space. To GIY, you don’t even need a garden. You can use pots on your balconies (陽臺). And don’t worry if your space doesn’t get much sun. You can plant vegetables that don’t need a lot of sun to grow.

Grow your own vegetables now. You will have both a healthier body and a healthier social life.

【解析】

這篇文章講的是GIY這一生活理念,就是鼓勵人們自己種蔬菜,這樣既讓自己有了健康的身體,又使環(huán)境得到改善,社會生活更加健康。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容第一段“Food in supermarkets travels a long way and that produces a lot of CO2.超市里的食物經(jīng)過長途運(yùn)輸并產(chǎn)生了很多二氧化碳!钡拿枋隹芍,食物在運(yùn)輸過程中會產(chǎn)生CO2。故選C。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Don't worry if you don't have much space. To GIY, you … dont need a lot of sun to grow.”可知花園,陽光等不是最需要的,結(jié)合短文描述可知,人們種植自己的蔬菜最需要的是種子。故選A。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“You can plant vegetables that don't need a lot of sun to grow.”可知并不是所有蔬菜都需要一些陽光,故選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第三段“First of all, seeds are a lot cheaper than vegetables,”可知種子要比蔬菜便宜的多,但是沒提到自己種的菜和超市的菜的價(jià)格對比,故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)短文“You can use pots on your balconies(陽臺).”的描述可知,種植蔬菜可以用陽臺上的一些容器,故選項(xiàng)C正確;D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文章沒有提及。故選C

4標(biāo)題歸納題。這篇文章講的是GIY這一生活理念,就是鼓勵人們自己種蔬菜,故選B

【題目】 It is late at night. People in Cape Town,South Africa,line up to collect water from a spring. One by one,they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons(加侖). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months,that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years,the city has faced a drought(干旱). It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs(水庫)are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water.A_______, the city will one day be forced to cut off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time,Day Zero was expected to be June 4.B_______ the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem." said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city,people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people,rationing(定量供應(yīng))now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush(沖洗)the toilet.

【題目】 Growing a Family Business Every Saturday and Sunday this fall, while other kids are sleeping in or preparing for a soccer game, Phillip Gargiulo, age 11, will be up at 5 a.m. sweeping floors. It's hard work, but Phillip's job at Masker Orchards(果園) isn't just a job-it's all for his family.

Masker is one of the largest pick-it-yourself apple orchards in the New York area, with 200 acres(英畝) of land and 16,000 trees. The orchard was founded in 1913 by the Masker family. In 1969, Phillip's grandfather bought the land. His three kids and six grandkids have been running the family business ever since.

On a good weekend, there will be more than 800 customers. One of Phillip's jobs is to count the items they bought, give customers a total, and take their money. That's a lot of apples-and a lot of math! And more than 100 teens work there, too. For their hard work, the Gargiulo kids are paid15 per hour. After working there for seven years, Phillip has saved3,000. He's planning to use it to buy a car one day, and to help pay for college.

Having a family business means much more than making money. It also means making sacrifices.

"Growing up, it was good and bad," says Phillip's mom. She's been working at the orchard since she was 4 years old. "From August to Halloween, I would be busy. In high school, you want to be with your friends, out doing other things. That wasn't always possible when I had to be at the orchard."

Phillip, too, sees both sides. "I'm learning how to run a business, and I'm learning what hard work is really all about." he says. He admits, though, that some mornings, when his alarm clock goes off in the early morning, he'd rather be sleeping in or playing baseball with friends. "But I'm learning to do things that I will need for the rest of my life," he says. "And I'm spending time with my family. I love it."

1Phillip gets up early every weekend to ______ .

A.finish his homeworkB.do the work for his family

C.prepare for a soccer gameD.go for a run in the morning

2What does Phillip do on a good weekend in Masker?

A.To plant some apple trees.

B.To work on math problems.

C.To play baseball with friends.

D.To count apples and take the money.

3What can we learn from this passage?

A.Getting something probably means giving up something.

B.It's necessary to make money as early as possible.

C.Growing up means doing what you want to do.

D.There is nothing more important than parents.
