02 Period II Using language—Presenting ideas Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 [吉林长春十一中2024高一段测] Weeds and pests are “garden heroes” according to the Royal Horticultural Society（RHS）. The RHS is now encouraging gardeners to welcome weeds instead of considering them enemies. The rebranding（重塑……的形象）comes just in time for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, hosted by the RHS. In the show 4 out of 12 of the gardens will feature what we are now to refer to as “weed heroes”, according to Sheila Das, the RHS Wisley garden manager. “If you’ve got a weed”, says Das, “it’s telling you what’s going on underground. Your weed is your adviser. It’s your friend. So don’t treat weeds as troubles growing where they shouldn’t. They are actually plants in the right place.” Nettles （荨麻）, for instance, let a gardener know that the soil is rich in nitrogen, and fat hen （白花藜）, a weed often considered “troublesome”, is a sign that an area is low in nutrients. 刷阅读理解 2 In 2022, the RHS published a yearly “pest and disease” list, including snails and slugs. But in 2023, to be more “biodiversity （生物多样性） positive”, they published a list of the most beneficial wildlife to encourage back into your garden, and both snails and slugs were making a comeback. The RHS’s entomologist （昆虫学家） Andrew Salisbury claimed that our gardens would be a duller place without those unpopular pests. Apart from food for hedgehogs, frogs and birds, slugs and snails are excellent for recycling dead plant matter and animal waste, helping to keep soil healthy. These are just the first steps towards the RHS’s goal towards better biodiversity. Salisbury said, “The RHS has realised the role of gardens in supporting biodiversity and it will no longer call any garden wildlife as ‘pests’.Instead, there will be greater consideration of the role that weeds, slugs, and snails play in a balanced garden ecosystem together with more popular wildlife such as birds, hedgehogs and frogs.” 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。人们往往认为杂草和害虫是令人讨厌的东西，现在，英国皇家园艺学会认为它们是“花园英雄”，因为杂草可以体现土壤的营养状况，某些“害虫”还有助于保持土壤健康，实现花园的生态系统平衡。 1.Why does the rebranding come in time for the show?( ) B A.The weeds’ gardens will win. B.The “weed heroes” will be known. C.It will be popular worldwide. D.It will be an excellent competition. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的The RHS is now encouraging gardeners to welcome weeds instead of considering them enemies.和In the show 4 out of 12 of the gardens will feature what we are now to refer to as “weed heroes”可知，皇家园艺学会想让人们重新认识杂草的作用，正赶上了这样一次大型活动，通过此次活动，可以让杂草的“英雄”角色被更多人熟知。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 4 2.What is paragraph 4 used for?( ) A A.Giving examples. B.Introducing a topic. C.Describing a scene. D.Making comparisons. 解析 推理判断题。第三段中提出，杂草可以告诉你地下的情况，杂草就是你的顾问，也是你的朋友，接着第四段以荨麻为例，指出它可以让园丁知道土壤中含有丰富的氮，还举了白花藜的例子，表明白花藜是一个地区养分不足的标志。因此第四段的作用是举例说明第三段中提到的内容。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 5 3.What are gardens like according to Salisbury?( ) A A.They support a habitat for rich biodiversity. B.They play a great part in wildlife protection. C.They contain only popular weeds and insects. D.They keep a balance between weeds and pests. 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段及最后一段内容可知，索尔兹伯里认为如果没有这些不受欢迎的蛞蝓和蜗牛等“害虫”，我们的花园将变得更加乏味。要更多地考虑杂草、蛞蝓和蜗牛以及鸟类、刺猬和青蛙等动物在实现花园生态系统平衡中发挥的作用。因此，索尔兹伯里认为花园应该是生物多样性丰富的地方。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 6 4.What is the best title for the text?( ) C A.Pests Are Good Advisers B.Weeds Make a Comeback C.Weeds and Pests Are Our Friends D.Heroes Will Win the Flower Show 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文旨在让人们认识到传统意识中被认为是杂草或害虫的动物其实在花园中是有益的，人类不应该把它们看作敌人，应该把它们视作朋友。C项可以概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 7 [福建厦门2023高一期末] I wanted to travel to the Caribbean but couldn’t afford it.
