【題目】Even though you can watch a movie on your TV, laptop or iPad these days, great theatres still make going to the movies worth buying a ticket-and sometimes even worth a trip.

.1. AMC Loews Uptown, Washington, D.C.

Local movie critics will tell you “The Uptown” is the best place to see a movie in the Washington, D.C. area. Opened in 1936, it’s not a movie theatre, but a movie palace featuring a single screen—a curved (弧形的), 70-foot long and 40-foot high screen, one of the largest in the area.

.2. ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood, Los Angeles

This Hollywood theatre isn’t just a place to see stars on screen you might catch a few sitting next to you in the audience. The theatre offers 14 screens with reserved stadium seating (the seats are wider than average), and the famous Cinerama Dome (全景電影).

.3. Tampa Theatre, Tampa, Florida

A classic movie palace designed by famed theatre architect John Eberson, the Tampa landmark was built in 1926. The theatre now shows both new and classic films. Come early to hear the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ played before most films.

.4. Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Los Angeles

It’s not just a movie theatre. It’s a Hollywood experience. Opened in 1927, the theatre was known in its early days for lavish (奢華的) Hollywood premieres (首映) and hosting three Academy Award ceremonies. Check out the nearby Hollywood Walk of Fame before watching a movie on the big screen, and when your movie is over, stop by the next-door Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars were once held.

1What do ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood and Grauman’s Chinese Theatre have in common?

A. They both hosted the Oscars.

B. They were built in the same year.

【題目】Earlier this summer, Carol LeResche got the phone call she’d been waiting for. A tourist was picking zucchini (西葫蘆) at Thorne Rider Park. “It’s exactly what we hoped would happen when we put in the food forest,” explained LeResche, the park’s food forest founder. In May, he received a $ 3,500 fund. The money was to help turn a former park into an edible (可食用的) landscape. It’s a place where all of the fruits, vegetables and nuts are free for the taking.

Unlike some parks with strict “no picking” policies, food forests are designed to provide colorful crops. People are encouraged to harvest them. “We think it’s important to put public food in public spaces,” she said. The desire to know more about where our food comes from is one of the reasons there is a real trend toward agriculture into neighborhoods and communities. There, people can participate in tours and classes or relax among the fruit trees. Food forests provide different kinds of fresh produce more than we can buy.

Food forests are based on a model valuing sustainable and mostly self-sufficient agricultural production. The food forest model requires less chemical fertilizer and less labor than traditional agriculture. An edible forest is designed to develop without pesticides or weeding.

Since the concept is relatively new, and it takes at least three years for fruit and nut trees and berry bushes to start producing meaningful amounts of fresh food, it’s hard to know whether food forests will have an impact on food deserts. Volunteer-driven projects can fall apart if the group loses interest. Lack of funding can also be problematic. Pests also are an often-cited concern.

After all and above all, LeResche explained, food forests are about a lot more than food. “We also want to provide a gathering space that is productive and beautiful where people can develop a relationship with each other and get connected.”

1Compared with common food bought, what is special about the food in edible forests?

A. It tastes better. B. It has more varieties.

C. It has funny appearances. D. It’s produced free of fertilizer.

2What is stressed in Paragraph 4?

A. Food forests may disappear soon.

B. Food forests have a long way to go.

C. Food forests waste lots of natural resources.

D. Food forests seem imaginary and impossible.

3As for LeResche, what is the most important role of food forests?

A. A way to relax and entertain. B. A way to solve food shortage.

C. A way to be thankful for nature. D. A way to meet and make friends.

4What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To call help. B. To raise money.

C. To compare and argue. D. To inform and introduce.
