Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens. A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation39。s capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five green roofs for the university. He says he is excited about the project because it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren39。t doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects. In cities, you don39。t have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space, says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school39。s Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. We also have our own farm experiments, Arlotta said. Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC39。s Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to bee Master Gardeners. She says she39。s been surprised by the garden39。s output. My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation39。s capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a mercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle.（1）What do we know about the rooftop gardens? A.Rooftop gardens are very mon in average neighborhoods.B.There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C.They39。re playing an important role in the city39。s food supply.D.Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A.Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B.Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C.Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D.The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.（3）How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens? A.Confident.B.Doubtful.C.Worried.D.Ambiguous.（4）What is the best title for the text? A.Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB.Green RoofsThe Future of Urban AgricultureC.The United States39。 Agriculture ProgramD.Rooftop GardensFood Paradise【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應用文，介紹了美國的幾個城市正在啟動屋頂花園等項目。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。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，成為了城市農業(yè)的一部分。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time.可知，花園里有多種植物，可以幫助吸收雨水，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“ She is a student in the school39。s Urban Agriculture program... The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. ‘We also have our own farm experiments’。”可知，凱特琳阿洛塔是該校都市農業(yè)計劃的學生。研究人員正在研究包括草莓、西紅柿和甘薯在內的植物。這所大學還有其他綠地。，我們也有自己的農場實驗，由此可推斷出有許多大學生正在參與這項城市農業(yè)計劃。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的“She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond
