?、?閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分50分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
A
For many years,people in American cities have depended on farmers in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables.But now many people are planting crops in urban areas.
Sean Conroe is a college student.Amber Banks is a teacher.They both grew up farming and gardening.Sean Conroe and Amber Banks wanted to start a farm in the middle of Seattle,Washington.“There are a lot of neighborhoods that don't have access to healthy,fresh produce.And if they do,it can be very expensive.So we see unused space as a great place to grow food that will make it more accessible to people.”Amber Banks said.
Sean Conroe created a website to get volunteers and donations.Within a week,they were offered a piece of land between two houses.He says twenty volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.They call their project Alleycat Acres.The Alleycat Acres has got about ninety kilograms of produce so far.They have donated most of it to local food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.
One of the goals of the urban farm is to show city people the joy of growing food.The Alleycat Acres invites school groups to the farm to help out.And Amber Banks says they want the same people who get food donations to learn how to work the soil.The Alleycat Acres is expanding to other empty areas of Washington.So are a lot of other urban farming groups.
Seattle has announced 2010 “The Year of Urban Agriculture”.But the growth of these farms is limited.That is because Seattle,like a lot of other cities,has restrictions on urban farms.The City Council is now considering changing those laws.
26.The second paragraph mainly tells us________.
A.how the two men started the project
B.why the two men started city farming
C.who Sean Conroe and Amber Banks are
D.where the city farm is situated

A.They have a lot of difficulties in growing.
B.They have no enough hands to help them.
C.They carry out the project successfully.
D.They get a lot of support from the government.
【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三、四段內(nèi)容可知,從志愿者招募,到種植、收獲,以及都市農(nóng)場的擴(kuò)張都安排得井井有條。由此可以看出,都市務(wù)農(nóng)活動(dòng)進(jìn)展得很順利。
【答案】 C
28.What can we know about Sean and Amber?
A.They are kind-hearted.
B.They are in the same college.
C.They grow food only for their neighbors.
D.They earned a lot of money through the project.
【解析】 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“They have donated most of it to local food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.”可以看出,他們都擁有仁愛之心。
【答案】 A
29.The underlined word “restrictions”in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A.new plans
B.some rules
C.nice articles
D.great encouragement
【解析】 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段的敘述“That is because Seattle,like a lot of other cities,has restrictions on urban farms.The City Council is now considering changing those laws.”可猜出,“those laws”指的就是上文提到的“restrictions”。
【答案】 B
30.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.it's easy to grow food in the city
B.city people dislike the city farm
C.the farm will have a good harvest next year
D.urban farms may grow faster in the future
【解析】 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知,城市正考慮修改限制都市農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展的法律,所以都市農(nóng)場將來可能發(fā)展得更快。
【答案】 D
B
This is a great idea:a young designer has invented a folding bicycle that will stop thieves in their tracks.Kevin Scott,21,designed a bike that wraps around a lamp post so it can be locked safely-without the need for a lock.The De Montfort University graduate used a ratchet (棘輪)system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a post,making the lock wrapped through both wheels and the frame.
Securing all the bike's parts within the lock was his aim in creating the new bike.It also allows the bike to be stored in small spaces.The frame can be ratcheted tight to allow the bike to be ridden like a normal bike,but it can be quickly loosened to allow the frame to be bent back on itself when the bike is parked.As such,finding a spot to lock it up on London's busy streets is a cinch -you simply wrap it around the nearest lamp post.
The design won Mr Scott a runner-up award at the Business Design Centre New Designer of the Year Award and £500.Mr Scott's creation is on show at the present time at the New Designers show at the Business Design Centre in Islington,north London.He is hoping that his unusual cycle will catch the eye of a bike loving backer who will help him to develop it further.
More than 52 bikes are stolen in London every day,according to official figures.A total of 23,748 bikes were reported stolen in London in 2009-10-but the policemen believe that the true figure could be double that.Some policemen suggest that users should lock their bikes to a safe object through the frame.
31.Kevin Scott invented the folding bicycle in order to______.
A.make a lot of money from it
B.keep bicycles from being stolen
C.graduate from the De Montfort University
D.find a way to catch the thieves in the tracks
【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“...a young designer has invented a folding bicycle that will stop thieves in their tracks...designed a bike that wraps around a lamp post so it can be locked safely...”可知,設(shè)計(jì)者發(fā)明這種自行車的目的是為了防盜。
【答案】 B
32.Why can this kind of bike be folded?
A.Because it has a special lock.
B.Because it is made of soft metal.
C.Because it can be taken apart easily.
D.Because it has a ratchet system in its frame.
【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“The De Montfort University graduate used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a post,making the lock wrapped through both wheels and the frame.”可知答案。
【答案】 D
33.When you ride the folding bike,you ________.
A.can only wrap it around a pole
B.can't ride it like a normal bike
C.needn't find large room to store it
D.should carry the parts of the bike with you
【解析】 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“It also allows the bike to be stored in small spaces.”可知,該車停放時(shí)占據(jù)的空間很小,所以不需要太大的空間來儲存它。
