u recycle. ’ Sandy Farber Bandier 喜歡向住在華盛頓特區(qū)和首都以外地區(qū)的人們展示在屋頂上可以種植什么以及如何種植食物。她認為這是食品的未來。你在這里種植,在商業(yè)廚房里準備,通過農(nóng)貿(mào)市場分發(fā)。食品卡車,然后回收利用。 由此可推斷出她對于屋頂花園的未來很自信。故選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。第一段說美國由于雨水過多,為了避免浪費,美國的幾個城市正在啟動屋頂花園等項目。接著下文進行了詳細介紹了在大學校舍的頂部建造花園,種植多種植物吸收雨水,利用城市上空的一種資源,成為了城市農(nóng)業(yè)的一部分,有人認為這是未來的食物。由此可知,本文主要敘述了綠色屋頂城市農(nóng)業(yè)的未來。綜觀全文可知,文中green roofs(綠色屋頂)貫穿全文,第一段最后一句green roofs(綠色屋頂)是建在城市的農(nóng)業(yè)(Urban Agriculture),故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇介紹類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 The spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest of the body to your brain. So it39。s important to take care of it. Staying in a good position is one of the most important things to keep your spine healthy. A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spins straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when you39。re asleep. Stomach sleeping is far from a good idea. Many people prefer sleeping on their side, which is in the interests of their spine. Sleeping on your back has lots of benefits yet can cause lower back pain and put some pressure on your spine. Staying still for too long — even if your position is good — can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a task most of the day, it39。s important to get up and stretch (伸展) periodically. Strength exercises with light weights like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles. However, don39。t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can hurt the muscles around the spine, as trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique. Vitamins also affect the health of your spine. In particular, vitamin B and omega3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy. Another important part is vitamin D, which is required for strong bones. Vitamin D can e from some foods, but it39。s also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside. At last, many of the actions necessary to keep a spine healthy are similar to those used to protect your health in other ways. So protect your back, and the rest of the body will benefit.(1)Which sleeping position is best for our spine according to the passage? A.B.C.D.(2)What is suggested in paragraph 3?

In the years of great fear and depression, a lot of American citizens looked desperately to the federal government for assistance. Of all the programs designed by President Roosevelt when he took office in 1932, few were more criticized or had more lasting impact than the Work Projects Administration, better known as the WPA. The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943, was to design and administer public works projects to help relieve unemployment. The majority of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA39。s Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people39。s diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time. The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA39。s most lasting achievements. Out of work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.(1)When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work? A.In1929.16
