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(nóng)業(yè)計(jì)劃的學(xué)生。研究人員正在研究包括草莓、西紅柿和甘薯在內(nèi)的植物。這所大學(xué)還有其他綠地。，我們也有自己的農(nóng)場(chǎng)實(shí)驗(yàn)，由此可推斷出有許多大學(xué)生正在參與這項(xiàng)城市農(nóng)業(yè)計(jì)劃。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“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. ’ 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(rèn)為這是食品的未來(lái)。你在這里種植，在商業(yè)廚房里準(zhǔn)備，通過(guò)農(nóng)貿(mào)市場(chǎng)分發(fā)。食品卡車，然后回收利用。 由此可推斷出她對(duì)于屋頂花園的未來(lái)很自信。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。第一段說(shuō)美國(guó)由于雨水過(guò)多，為了避免浪費(fèi)，美國(guó)的幾個(gè)城市正在啟動(dòng)屋頂花園等項(xiàng)目。接著下文進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)介紹了在大學(xué)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(rèn)為這是未來(lái)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(lái)。綜觀全文可知，文中g(shù)reen 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(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇介紹類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 A study based on data gathered by a NASA sensor has revealed China and India, the world39。s two most populous countries, are primarily responsible for making the Earth greener over the past two decades. The study, published on Feb 11 in the journal Natural Sustainability, has found that since 2000 the Earth39。s green leaf area has increased by over 5 million square kilometers. That39。s an area equivalent to the total of the Amazon rainforests. China and India account for onethird of the greening, considering the general idea of land degradation (退化) in populous countries from overexploitation, said Chen Chi from Boston University, lead author of the study. The effect mainly es from ambitious treeplanting programs in China and intensive agriculture in both countries, NASA said in a statement. China is the source of a quarter of the planet39。s increase in forest area, despite having only percent of the world39。s vegetated (固定植被的)area, according to the study. Forest conservation and expansion programs account for 42 percent of the increase, and another 32 percent e from intensive agriculture of food crops, NASA said. While raising their green leaf areas, China and India have also greatly increased their food production through multiple cropping practices, where a field is replanted and crops are harvested several time each year. Production of grains, vegetable, fruits and more have increased by about 35 to 40 percent since 2000 to feed their large population, NASA said. Over the past decades, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, the central government launched a nationallevel forestation projectthe Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in the project reached percent, pared to percent 40 years ago. In a greening project, Kubuqi Desert, seventh largest in the country, has seen onethird of its area covered by vegetation during the past three decades thanks to forestation efforts.（1）What have China and India contributed to according to NASA? A.Land greening.B.Land degradation.C.Population explosion.D.Forest conservation.（2）What can we learn about multiple cropping practices? A.They turn out to be ineffective.B.They improve the food output.C.They raise the vegetated area.D.They allow planning once annually.（3）What was the forest coverage rate in 1977? A.%.B.%.C.%.D.32%.（4）How is the passage mainly developed? A.By space.B.By listing facts.C.By parison.D.By making definition.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道,介紹了美國(guó)航天局的一項(xiàng)最新研究顯示，中國(guó)和印度是全球綠化努力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的China and India, the world39。s two most populous countries, are primarily responsible for making the Earth greener可知,美國(guó)宇航局的研究顯示中國(guó)和印度使地球變得更綠,也就是說(shuō)中國(guó)和印度的主要貢獻(xiàn)在于土地綠化,故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的China and India have also greatly increased their food production through multiple cropping practices,可知,中國(guó)和印度通過(guò)復(fù)種提高了糧食產(chǎn)量,故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the regions in th
