On a bright Saturday morning, I took part in a volunteer beach cleanup at Jawbone Marine Sanctuary.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
54.What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A.She used to be a health worker.
B.She grew up in a low-income family.
C.She owns a fast food restaurant.
D.She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
55.What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A.The kids’ parents distrusted her.
B.Students had little time for her classes.
C.Some kids disliked garden work.
D.There was no space for school gardens.
56.Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A.Far-reaching. B.Predictable.
C.Short-lived. D.Unidentifiable.
57.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Rescuing School Gardens
B.Experiencing Country Life
C.Growing Vegetable Lovers
D.Changing Local Landscape

In the summer of 1405, Zheng He, one of China’s greatest explorers, set sail from Taicang on his first voyage. A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28,000 people on board, 29 was a splendid scene.

His ships 31 (load) with china, silk, tea and other treasures as gifts for foreign rulers, and the fleet paid friendly visits 32 more than 30 countries and regions. As they sailed, the navigators took compass readings, kept logs of their voyages 33 charted the coast. Later the detailed maps became Zheng He’s Navigation Map.
Zheng He’s seven voyages had 34 far-reaching impact on China and its neighbors. His efforts helped develop and strengthen harmonious relations with these countries and regions, exposing foreign people to Chinese culture, and allowing the Chinese 35 (understand) overseas lands profoundly.
For many years, some historians dismissed the records of these voyages as 36 (legend). The final proof came when an enormous shipyard was discovered in Nanjing, where the fleet had been built. Zheng He’s accomplishments are now 37 (wide) acknowledged, and he is remembered as one of China’s most 38 (influence) explorers.
【答案】
29.which 30.demonstrating 31.were loaded 32.to 33.and 34.a 35.to understand 36.legends 37.widely 38.influential
【导语】主要介绍了中国伟大航海家郑和的航海事迹。讲述了他首次航海的规模,七次航海的时间、目的及带来的影响,还提及航海记录曾被质疑,最终因造船厂的发现得以证实,郑和的成就如今也得到广泛认可。
【详解】29.考查定语从句。句意:一支由200多艘船组成的舰队在蓝色的海洋上航行,船上有近28000人,场面十分壮观。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子“A fleet of over 200 ships navigated the blue seas, with almost 28,000 people on board”,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
30.考查非谓语动词。句意:根据一些记录,最大的船长度超过140米,展示了建造船舶时使用的先进技术和特殊技能。分析句子结构,此处为非谓语动词作状语,demonstrate与“最大的船长度超过140米”这件事之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词demonstrating。
31.考查动词时态和语态。句意:他的船上装载着瓷器、丝绸、茶叶和其他珍宝,作为送给外国统治者的礼物,舰队对30多个国家和地区进行了友好访问。根据上下文可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,且ships与load之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were +过去分词”,主语ships是复数,所以用were loaded。
32.考查固定搭配。句意:他的船上装载着瓷器、丝绸、茶叶和其他珍宝,作为送给外国统治者的礼物,舰队对30多个国家和地区进行了友好访问。pay a visit to...为固定搭配,意为“对……进行访问”,所以此处用介词to。
33.考查连词。句意:在航行过程中,航海者们读取指南针读数,记录航行日志并绘制海岸地图。“took compass readings”“kept logs of their voyages”和“charted the coast”是并列关系,所以用and连接。
34.考查冠词。句意:郑和的七次航行对中国及其邻国产生了深远的影响。have an/ a...impact on...为固定短语,意为“对……有……影响”,far-reaching是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
35.考查非谓语动词。句意:他的努力有助于发展和加强与这些国家和地区的和谐关系,让外国人民接触到中国文化,也让中国人深刻了解海外土地。allow sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式to understand。
36.考查名词复数。句意:多年来,一些历史学家认为这些航行记录是传说。legend作“传说”讲时是可数名词,根据语境,此处应用复数形式legends。
37.考查副词。句意:郑和的成就现在得到了广泛认可,他被认为是中国最有影响力的探险家之一。此处修饰动词acknowledged,应用副词widely,意为“广泛地”。
38.考查形容词。句意:郑和的成就现在得到了广泛认可,他被认为是中国最有影响力的探险家之一。此处修饰名词explorers,应用形容词influential,意为“有影响力的”。

【导语】文章通过叙述作者从被动参与海滩清理到主动投身环保的转变过程,说明亲身经历和亲眼所见能激发人的环保意识,而每个人的小小行动都能为保护地球带来积极改变。
【详解】39.考查副词。句意:我加入这个活动仅仅是因为朋友的邀请,而不是对保护海洋有着真正的热情。A. namely也就是;B. nearly几乎,差不多;C. simply仅仅,只是;D. hardly几乎不。根据后文“rather than having a real for ocean protection.”可知,作者参加这个活动仅仅是因为朋友的邀请。
40.考查名词。句意同上。A. request请求;B. passion热情,热爱;C. preference偏爱;D. courage勇气。根据后文“I worked slowly at the beginning”推测,作者参加这个活动不是因为对保护海洋的热情。
41.考查动词。句意:然而当我们沿着海岸行走时,我们发现了各种各样的废弃物。A. rushed冲;B. stormed突袭,猛冲;C. walked行走;D. sailed航行。根据后文“we discovered all kinds of . Countless plastic pieces lay hidden under seashells, and shoes and old tyres were half-buried in the sand dunes.”可知,他们发现了很多废弃物,因此他们是沿着海岸行走时发现的。
42.考查名词。句意同上。A. treasures珍宝;B. goods商品;C. plastics塑料制品;D. waste废弃物。根据后文“Countless plastic pieces lay hidden under seashells, and shoes and old tyres were half-buried in the sand dunes.”可知,后文具体提到了塑料碎片、鞋子、旧轮胎等,这些都是废弃物。
43.考查形容词。句意:无数的塑料碎片藏在贝壳下,破旧的鞋子和旧轮胎半埋在沙丘中。A. worn穿旧的,磨破的;B. burned烧焦的;C. decorated装饰过的;D. cheap便宜的。此处与“old tyres”并列,描述被遗弃的垃圾,故此处指破旧鞋子。
44.考查形容词。句意:刚开始我干得很慢,感到无聊并希望早点结束。A. nervous紧张的;B. surprised惊讶的;C. bored无聊的;D. relaxed放松的。根据后文“and hoping to finish early”可知,作者想早点结束,因此是觉得很无聊。
45.考查动词。句意:当我发现一个海龟壳被困在塑料袋里时,一切都变了。A. searched搜索;B. spotted发现,认出;C. examined检查;D. observed观察。根据空后“a sea turtle shell trapped inside a plastic bag”可知,指作者发现了被困在塑料袋里的海龟壳,spot强调偶然看到或发现。
46.考查动词。句意:我忍不住想有多少海洋动物会把塑料误认为食物,或者被这样的垃圾缠住。A. prepare准备;B. select选择;C. exchange交换;D. mistake弄错,误认。根据后文“plastic for food”可知,此处指海洋动物将塑料误认为食物,mistake...for...意为“把……误认为……”。

6、【阅读能力提升】
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”

【导语】文章主要介绍了Abby Jaramillo发起的学校花园项目Urban Sprouts,该项目帮助低收入家庭学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康生活方式。
【详解】54.细节理解题。根据第一段中“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.(起初确实如此,Abby Jaramillo说,她与其他一名教师共同创办了Urban Sprouts项目,在四所低收入学校开设了校园菜园计划)”可知,Abby Jaramillo是Urban Sprouts的发起人之一。
55.推理判断题。根据第二段中““The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” (“孩子们真的会带着成袋的零食和大瓶的软饮料来上学,”她说。“他们来到我们这里时,认为蔬菜很可怕,泥土很可怕,虫子也很可怕。”)”可知,项目开始时面临的问题是有些孩子不喜欢园艺工作。
56.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. (项目评估显示,参加课程后孩子们吃了更多蔬菜)”以及第五段中“Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students (一些学生对园艺产生浓厚兴趣,带种子回家开始自己的菜园。此外,在花园里劳作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用)”可知,该项目改变了孩子们的习惯,激发了对园艺的兴趣并对特殊教育学生起到镇静作用,说明它产生了深远的影响。
57.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. (该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康生活方式)”以及第四段“Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. (项目评估显示,参加课程后孩子们吃了更多蔬菜)”和第五段“Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. (一些学生对园艺产生浓厚兴趣,带种子回家开始自己的菜园)”可知,文章主要讲述了学校花园项目如何让学生爱上蔬菜、改变饮食习惯。故C项“Growing Vegetable Lovers (培养蔬菜爱好者)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
