They provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community cohesion (凝聚力), make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more. So, let’s check out our list of 4 inspiring urban gardens in the US. Gotham Greens Where: New York & Chicago What: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100,000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn’t just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students Where: Baltimore, Maryland What: The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces and have never had the opportunity to grow food. Revision Urban Farm Where: Boston, Massachusetts What: Revision Urban Farm in Boston works in partnership with the Revision Family Home-a shelter for 22 homeless parents and their kids. The farm provides these families within formation on healthy eating, and access to the farm’s fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help families escape the cycle of poverty. Swale Where: New York What: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food. This urban garden serves as both a living art exhibit and an educational farm Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines — each one complementing the other in a symbiotic (共生的) relationship. 1.

It uses high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food. 2. Which urban garden offers first-hand farming experience? A. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students. B. Swale. C. Revision Urban Farm. D.

D. They have educational and entertaining purposes. B There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time’s Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family. This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him. King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things. People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom had to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha. In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel Carrie, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions. 4. What is mainly talked about about Stephen King in the first two paragraphs? A. His achievements in writing. B. His unfortunate childhood. C His difficulty in supporting the family. D. His mother’s bitter experiences. 5. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word? A. He was knocked down by a passing train. B. He was badly criticized by a close friend. C. He was depressed by the constant moves. D. He was heart-struck by a terrible accident. 6. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Discouraged. B. Relaxed. C. Embarrassed. D. Inspired. 7. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter? A. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter. B. The family could not find a proper babysitter. C. The children could actually entertain themselves. D. The children didn’t like to be cared for by others. C Ma Jun, born in 1995 in Ningxia, is the youngest winner of the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose (散文)category for his first work, “Qing Bai Shijie”. Despite being wheelchair-bound and facing countless challenges, including a predicted life expectancy of 20, Ma has overcome the difficulties and is now living well at 29. “Qing Bai Shijie” is a five-part collection reflecting on Ma’s life, from childhood to ambitions. The title symbolizes purity and innocence and fights the prejudice (偏见)Ma faced, such as being labeled as receiving “God’s punishment”. In 2016, Ma chose not to attend college to allow his younger brother to continue his education, a decision that led to despair but was later changed by reading Shi Tiesheng’s “Wo Yu Ditan”, which inspired him to pursue writing. Ma’s journey in writing began as a means to find meaning and joy in life. After three years of devotion, he completed his book but faced the challenge of publishing without resources. However, the “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers” project selected his work for publication in 2023, a significant milestone. The Junma Awards, one of China’s major literary prizes, recognized Ma’s talent, and his win was a joyful surprise. Ma’s condition, Spinal Muscular Atrophy(SMA), was diagnosed at27, and with treatment now affordable in China, he manages his disease through regular medical procedures. Ma keeps a daily routine of exercise, reading, and writing, currently working on a novel. He defines himself not by his struggles but as a faithful writer, using literature to connect with the world and inspire hope. His social media profile reads, “Be a faithful writer”, a motto that summarizes his commitment to his career and his life. 8. What do we know about Ma Jun from the first two paragraphs? A. He received some punishment when he was born. B. He won a literature award for people with disabilities. C. He was predicted not to live longer than 30 years old. D. He chose the title to imply his struggle against prejudice. 9. Why did Ma Jun give up attending college in 2016? A. He was not interested in higher education. B. He wanted to focus on his writing career. C. He faced both financial difficulties and health issues. D. He accepted his role model Shi Tiesheng’s advice. 10. What’s Ma Jun’s current situation? A. He devotes himself to writing and his life. B. He defines himself by his physical struggles. C. His disease of SMA can’t be treated in China. D. His writing is focused on social media connections. 11. Which of the following words best describe Ma Jun? A. Creative and intelligent. B. Determined and hopeful. C. Ambitious and hard-working. D. Knowledgeable and optimistic. D Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains are showing remarkable adaptability by adjusting their activity patterns, according to a new study. The study, led by University of California Davis researcher Ellie Bolas, tracked 22 mountain lions in the region. The findings show that mountain lions living in areas with higher human presence are becoming more nocturnal(夜行性) to minimize interactions with humans. This is different from those living far away from people, who still hunt and play at sunrise and sunset like they used to. This behavioral adaptation allows these large wild animals to successfully coexist in one of the world’s largest urban(城市) areas. The study identified interesting differences in activity patterns. Female mountain lions showed more activity during daylight hours to stay away from male lions that might threaten their babies. The most nocturnal behavior was observed in two male lions living in areas with high human activity and development. These behavioral changes demonstrate the cats’ natural tendency to avoid human contact rather than become habituated to people. Seth Riley, branch chief for wildlife at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, notes that these adaptations reflect subtle(微妙的) ways humans impact wildlife beyond direct threats like the vehicle hitting them. The research team recommends that humans also adapt their own behavior to support coexistence. They suggest people should be more careful while driving at night and be aware that dawn and dusk remain active periods for mountain lion movement. “This flexibility we see in mountain lion activity is what allows us to share these natural areas together. Mountain lions are doing the work so that coexistence can happen,” explains Bolas. The study highlights the need for continued human effort in conservation. As Bolas notes, “Coexistence is happening, and it’s in large part because of what mountain lions are doing.” 12. Which best describes the activity patterns of mountain lions in remote locations? A. Nocturnal. B. Traditional. C. Changeable. D. Controllable. 13. Why are female mountain lions more active during the daytime? A. To hunt more effectively for babies. B. To enjoy competing with others. C. To avoid encounters with male lions. D. To deal with urban development. 14. What do the researchers advise us to do for mountain lions? A. Get to know their active periods. B. Try to drive in the daytime carefully. C. Reduce human activity in urban areas. D. Relocate them to the undeveloped areas. 15. What is Bolas’ attitude to mountain lions’ being nocturnal? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Admiring. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It can be tough to find the motivation to do an outdoor workout once winter strikes with low temperatures, wind chill, rain and dark nights.

Feeling puzzled, Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas. “Nothing.” Ginger whispered, lowering her head. Other kids stopped talking and turned to Ginger. “Are you kidding? Did you lose your money?” They stared at the little girl, their faces lighting up with surprise. Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket. The man in rags was standing in cold weather. There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time. “We have so much, but the homeless man doesn't have anything,” Ginger explained. “I am willing to share my happiness with him. I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.” She added, with eyes shining with excitement. Hearing her daughters' words, Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her. “What you did is right, Ginger. You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,” she said. Arriving home, they had a small party and the other kids offered to share their gifts with Ginger. It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
