【題目】 Like you，plants need good things like food，water，and minerals in order to grow. Usually they get these important nutrients(營(yíng)養(yǎng)) from the rich soil(土壤) in which they're planted. But there's another way to grow plants that doesn't use soil. It's called hydrogenic gardening.

“Hydrogenic” means “working with water. ” In a hydrogenic garden，plants grow with their roots in water， not in dirt. The water is filled with special food for the plants that gardeners have carefully measured and prepared.

Hydrogenic plants grow quickly. In ordinary gardens，plants need time and energy to grow long roots that search the soil for food and water. In a hydrogenic garden，plants can use their energy to grow tall instead. And because there is no soil， there are no weeds and few insect pests(害蟲). Gardeners don't need to spray(噴灑) plants with dangerous chemicals. Both the plants and the environment stay healthy.

Scientists hope that，one day，hydrogenic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food-even in countries that have bad soil，or weather that is too hot，too cold，or too dry. And astronauts hope to take hydrogenic gardens with them to the spaceship they fly to Mars，so that they will always have fresh vegetables，and the fun of growing a garden without dirt.

【1】What's the meaning of the underlined word “dirt” in the second paragraph?

A.soilB.waterC.insectD.food

【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A.Plants need water and other nutrients to grow.B.There are no weeds inhydrogenic gardens.

C.Hydrogenic plants cannot grow in too hot weather.D.Astronauts hope to take hydrogenic gardens to space.

【3】What's the passage about?

A.Plant growing.B.Space farming.C.Scientific watering.D.hydrogenic gardening.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了一種方法可以種植不利用土壤的植物。它被稱為氫化園藝。

【1】詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)文中In a hydrogenic garden，plants grow with their roots in water可知下文dirt的意思是“土壤”。故選A。

【2】推理判斷。根據(jù)題意one day，hydrogenic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food-even in countries that have bad soil，or weather that is too hot，too cold，or too dry.可知，選項(xiàng)C是錯(cuò)誤，水生植物不能在太熱的天氣里生長(zhǎng)，這個(gè)說法是錯(cuò)誤的。故選C。

【3】主旨大意。通讀整篇短文可知，這篇短文主要講述氫化園藝。故選D。

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the world’s people.

In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty (貧困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.

At the beginning of the 21stcentury, the world’s population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off (平穩(wěn)下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (穩(wěn)定的), or even falls.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題。

【1】In what areas of the world can developing countries be found?

________________________________________________

【2】In 1950, what percent of the world’s population lived in developing countries?

Around the world, people live in homes of many shapes and sizes. In some countryside, people live together with their family in a huge house with gardens or backyards. On the other hand, the buildings in cities are usually very close together.

A home can be any kind of building- large or small. Some people even have homes on boats, in tents or in caravans that can be moved around. Caravans are mobile homes. They are towed(拖，拉) by either a car or a huge truck. Some of them are holiday homes. We can see many families staying together in these caravans.

In the past, rich and important people built strong castles to keep their families safe. The castles(城堡) were built on hill tops with high walls and some even had moats. Moats were deep and wide ditches(壕溝) filled with water. They made it difficult for enemies to attack.

Today, we have different ways of protecting our homes. Some homes are installed(安裝) with video cameras and an alarm system. These will help to alert(向……報(bào)警) home owners if someone tries to break in.

Homes are important to all the people. Everyone needs a home where they feel sheltered and safe.

【1】How are the buildings in cities?

________________________________________________________

【2】What is used to tow the caravans?

【3】Who built castles to keep their families safe in the past?

【題目】 One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “ You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “ No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made_____understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said , “ Yes , indeed, you speak very well.” ____the girl still kept saying , “ No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know_____to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t______a compliment ( 恭維)in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ______understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the_____, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the _____you have cooked are very delicious, you should say,“ Thank you .”

In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing , but in my opinion, being confident does not____ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident_____being modest. If you are modest and say , “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well” , while working in a western country , the others may think that you really cannot do it . If you often say “No” , you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job , if one says something like “Yes , I can certainly do it ” instead of “ Let me have a try ” , he or she will_______get it . So in the west , you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
