　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　Vegetable gardening is the relaxing(放松)art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a worthwhile activity.

　　Vegetable gardeners agree that many home­grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those vegetables bought from markets.From spring through late fall，a well­planned and well­kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables，thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date.Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

　　Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening attractive to many people.Besides，vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for families.

　　Though the money spent for a garden may be little，one can't escape the fact that gardening needs hard work and time.Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient.Not doing jobs that should be done regularly may result in failure and a negative(消极的)feeling.

　　One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for.A small well­kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable(有益的)than a large one.Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day.Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables.If possible，the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work in it at irregular moments.

　　Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately，many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

　　1．Home­grown vegetables________.

　　A．have to be eaten as soon as they are picked

　　B．sell well in market because of their good quality(质量)

　　C．picked at the right moment are more nutritious than those bought from the

　　market

　　D．can remain standing for a long time and need not be picked immediately

　　答案　C　[第二段第一句中的at their best等于at the right moment，这样与C意义吻合，其他选项与文中的事实有出入。]

　　2．Vegetable gardening is attractive for many people because________.

　　A．it needs little money

　　B．it is enjoyable and profitable

　　C．they can work at irregular moments

　　D．it provides vegetables for the family all through the year

　　答案　B　[从全文主旨可知作者从乐趣和实惠两个方面劝人们种蔬菜。]

　　3．The underlined word “performed” (Paragraph 4) can be replaced by________.

　　A．worked out

　　B．acted out

　　C．operated out

　　D．carried out

　　答案　D　[perform在此处指任务的“完成”，故选D。]

　　4．The writer suggests that an ideal(理想的)vegetable garden should________.

　　A．be sunnyB．be beyond walking distance

　　C．be large­sizedD．be made up of full soil

　　答案　A　[第五段说明条件是“规模小”，“阳光充足”，“距离近”；第六段表示“对土壤要求不严格”，故A正确。]
