　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2015湖北，B)

　　What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn't a prerequisite for a modern grow­your­own lifestyle.On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.

　　Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert.She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what's on their plate.

　　Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food.“I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor，” she said.Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school.She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.

　　“I teach people how to live farm­fresh without a farm，” Loe said.Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some herbs.A window? Perfect spot for growing.Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they're very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，” she added.“I think it's a great place to start.” Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.

　　Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does.With every planted food, Loe noted, there's a moment when it's bursting with its absolute peak flavor.“I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar，” Loe said.“Canning for me is about knowing what's in your food, knowing where it comes from.”

　　In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the_bigger_picture，” she said, “that if we don't take care of the earth, no one will.”

　　()1.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Para.1) is closest in meaning to “______”．

　　A．recipe

　　B．substitute

　　C．requirement

　　D．challenge

　　()2.Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?

　　A．They are used daily.

　　B．They are easy to grow.

　　C．They can grow very tall.

　　D．They can be eaten uncooked.

　　()3.According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?

　　A．It can preserve their best flavor.

　　B．It can promote her online sales.

　　C．It can better her cooking skills.

　　D．It can improve their nutrition.

　　()4.What is the “the bigger picture” (Para.6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?

　　A．The knowledge about good food.

　　B．The way to live a grow­our­own life.

　　C．The joy of getting in touch with foods.

　　D．The responsibility to protect our earth.

　　1．【答案】C

　　【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第一段第二句可知，特丽萨·洛和她的家人在仅为十分之一英亩的土地上种植，装罐和保存了他们食用的许多食物，与第一句中大农场与现代自种自吃生活方式之间的关系形成对比，可知自种自吃并不需要大面积的土地。故选C项。

　　2．【答案】B

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段第七句“Start with herbs, she recommends, because ‘they're very forgiving.’”可知，草本植物很好种植。forgiving意为“宽恕的；宽容的；宽大的”。故选B项。

　　3．【答案】A

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段第二句及第三句可知，洛认为每一种种植的食物都有一个味道达到顶峰的时刻，罐装能将这一时刻保留。故选A项。

　　4．【答案】D

　　【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知“…that if we don't take care of the earth, no one will.”为同位语从句解释说明“the bigger picture”的内容，即我们要关注地球，保护地球是我们的责任。故选D项。

　　(2016长春外国语学校高三一质检)

　　A survey basing on 1,000 students found that 80% of senior students sleep less than nine hours every night.One main reason lies at students' bad habits.Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause.Some students are absent­minded while doing their homework, and some wasting their after­class time.The third cause was that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that far away from home.Experts think an amount of homework for the students should be cut down.Beside, teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time.Only in this way can the students improve our study efficiency.

　　【答案】

　　A survey

　　on 1,000 students found that 80% of senior students sleep less than nine hours every night.One main reason lies

　　students' bad habits.Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause.Some students are absent­minded while doing their homework, and some

　　their after­class time.The third cause

　　that some students have to get up earlier on to get to school that far away from home.Experts think

　　amount of homework for the students should be cut down.， teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time.Only in this way can the students improve

　　study efficiency.

　　【解析】

　　第一处：basing→based　根据词组be based on可知，它应该用过去分词作定语。

　　第二处：at→in　lie in意为“在于”。

　　第三处：去掉given前的is　该句的中心谓语动词是another前面的is，那么given前面就不能用is，去掉以后由过去分词given作定语。

　　第四处：wasting→waste　根据前面的并列连词and，可知后面需要句子，用谓语动词waste, 而不应该用现在分词。

　　第五处：was→is　本文通篇都是一般现在时。

　　第六处：weekday→weekdays　on weekdays意为“在工作日；在平时”。

　　第七处：an→the　an amount of 意为“许多，大量”；the amount of…意为“……的数量”。

　　第八处：Beside→Besides　besides意为“而且，另外”。

　　第九处：make前加to　encourage sb.to do sth.意为“鼓励某人去做某事”。

　　第十处：our→their　只有这样，学生才能提高他们的学习效率。
