V.阅读理解
Like many things in life,the best results
are achieved by working together.This is
especially true with plants!
The latest research on“companion planting”
stresses the importance of viewing our gardens
as ecosystems where plants interact with each
other to create a healthy,bio-diverse place.
Plants actively affect each other through various
ways like fungal connections,chemical messaging
and resource sharing,which helps attract helpful
insects,improve nutrient availability and absorption.
When we plant one type of plant in an
area,like tomatoes,we create a"monoculture",
which often leads to more pesticides and chemical
fertilizers ()However,when we put different
plants to grow together,we create a"polyculture",
which leads to biodiversity.It means a more
stable environment for vegetables and other
plants to grow well by augmenting nutrient
cycling,water conservation,pest control and
carbon storage.
What is modern research-based companion
planting?Scientists like to call it inter-planting to
make a polyculture for garden benefits.Using
science helps us know why and how certain
plant combinations work well.
Jessica Walliser,author of Plant Partners:
Science-Based Companion Planting Strategies
for the Vegetable Garden,provides plant pairs that
reduce pests,prevent diseases and enrich soil quality.
Using science as your guide and gardening
with companion plants will help you learn
about your own unique corner of the world.
Have fun as you try out plant combinations
and create a diverse living space outside your
door.You'll look at your garden in a whole
new way as you observe the changes in color
and texture while enjoying the overall well-
21
being of your garden.
1.What does companion planting refer to
according to the latest research?
A.Creating colorful gardens
B.Growing more local plants.
C.Mixing various interactive plants.
D.Using chemicals to aid plant growth.
2.What negative effect can monoculture have
on gardens?
A.Reduced living space.
B.Polluted water quality.
C.Increased pests and diseases.
D.Enhanced reliance on sunlight.
3.What does the underlined word“augmenting”
mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Promoting.
B.Declining.
C.Examining.
D.Overcoming.
4.What does Jessica Walliser's book focus on?

V.七选五
Even when you have a garden,you can
still take a break from time to time Here are
some tips to help make sure your garden crops
survive when you go away in summer for a
little while.
1 Automated watering systems might
be the first thing that crowds into your mind.
They usually work at set times to keep your
plants from thirst.But in smaller spaces you
might consider different solutions like adding
watering globes and water bottles placed
upside down in beds or planters.2 Work
out rough water needs for specific plants and
add cloth,if necessary,to absorb water from a
7
container into the soil at the base of plants.
With calculation and enough watering solutions,
most of your plants will survive.
In dry areas,it can be beneficial to reduce
the amount of water your crops will require
while you are away.3 This could potentially
help you gain a little more time.Think about
how you can still ensure enough daylight for
crops while also providing some shade for
them during the hottest part of the day.
Pests could also be an issue if you are not
there.Taking an integrated pest management
approach is the best policy.4 Remember,
biodiversity is key and you need some pests to
be present in order to attract the things that
eat them and keep their numbers down.5
