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.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(nóng)業(yè)的一部分。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)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(jù)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(nóng)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(nèi)的植物。這所大學還有其他綠地。,我們也有自己的農(nóng)場實驗,由此可推斷出有許多大學生正在參與這項城市農(nóng)業(yè)計劃。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(guān)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 Going out guide Ramp。B: Melanie Fiona Known for such songs as It Kills Me and This Time, Ramp。B singer Melanie Fiona made her first musical album(唱片) in 2009 with The Bridge and followed it up with The MF Life in 2012.
