3．阅读理解

Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.

A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture." Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.

In cities, "you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," Arlotta said. "Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best."

Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. "My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need." She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. "This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle."

（1）What do we know about the rooftop gardens?

A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.

B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.

C. They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.

D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.

（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.

B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.

C. Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.

D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.

（3）How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?

A. Confident.

B. Doubtful.

C. Worried.

D. Ambiguous.

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. ‘This is the future for food.

5．阅读理解

The spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest of the body to your brain. So it's important to take care of it.

Staying in a good position is one of the most important things to keep your spine healthy. A proper position means standing or sitting while keeping your spins straight, except for its natural bending. Positions play a vital part even when you're asleep. Stomach sleeping is far from a good idea. Many people prefer sleeping on their side, which is in the interests of their spine. Sleeping on your back has lots of benefits yet can cause lower back pain and put some pressure on your spine.

Staying still for too long — even if your position is good — can be hard on your back. Especially if you work at a task most of the day, it's important to get up and stretch (伸展) periodically. Strength exercises with light weights like push-ups can also help by strengthening the muscles. However, don't overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can hurt the muscles around the spine, as trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique.

Vitamins also affect the health of your spine. In particular, vitamin B and omega-3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy. Another important part is vitamin D, which is required for strong bones. Vitamin D can come from some foods, but it's also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside. At last, many of the actions necessary to keep a spine healthy are similar to those used to protect your health in other ways. So protect your back, and the rest of the body will benefit.

（1）Which sleeping position is best for our spine according to the passage?

A. B. C. D.

（2）What is suggested in paragraph 3?

A. Strengthening muscles around the spine.

B. Repeating a certain movement more.

C. Doing a proper amount of exercise.

D. Staying still in a good position.

（3）What can we infer about vitamins?

A. Vitamin B reacts with omega-3 fatty acids.

B. Abundant vitamin D guarantees strong bones.

C. Vitamin D can't be absorbed without sunlight.

D. Doing push-ups outside increases vitamin D intake.

（4）What is the best title for the text?

A. Stay still, stay healthy

B. Good position, good spine

C. Healthy means, healthy spine

D. Proper exercise, proper weight

【答案】（1）A

（2）C

（3）D

（4）C

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”Vitamin D can come from some foods, but it's also absorbed from sunlight, so it may help to do some exercises outside.“维生素D可以从一些食物中获得，但它也可以从阳光中吸收，所以在户外做一些运动也有助于维他命D的吸收。可

知在室外做俯卧撑可以增加维生素D的摄入量。故选D。

（4）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的”The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains a major collection of nerves that deliver electric signals from the rest of the body to your brain.

6．阅读理解

The Great Depression that followed the stock market crash of 1929 saw hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work. In the years of great fear and depression, a lot of American citizens looked desperately to the federal government for assistance. Of all the programs designed by President Roosevelt when he took office in 1932, few were more criticized - or had more lasting impact - than the Work Projects Administration, better known as the WPA.

The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943, was to design and administer public works projects to help relieve unemployment. The majority of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA's Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people's diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time.

The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA's most lasting achievements. Out - of - work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.

（1）When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work?

A. In1929.

B. In1932.

C. In1935.

D. In 1943.

（2）What can be inferred about the WPA?

A. It was made up of several components.

B. It was President Roosevelt's favorite project.

C. It played an important role during World War Ⅱ.

D. It trained artists before sending them out to work.

（3）How does the author mainly develop this text?

A. By examples.

B. By comparison.

C. Through a true story.

D. Through a persuasive argument.

（4）What's the main idea of the text?

A. President Roosevelt designed the WPA

B. The WPA helped relieve unemployment.

C. WPA artists painted pictures in schools and libraries.

D. The WPA produced many valuable and lasting works.

【答案】（1）C

（2）A

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，大萧条时期美国总统罗斯福实施新政时建立的一个政府机构- 公共事业振兴署,以助解决当时大规模的失业问题。此结构的建立取得了显著的成果,极大改善了当时的社会状况。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943,"从1935到1943年这项机构一直在起作用，可知,它是在1935开始实施的。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。文中没有提到WPA是否是罗斯福最爱的政策,所以排除B项；文中只提到二战时WPA的画家被派去军队画海报,没有提到是否起重大重用,故排除C项；文中只提到事业的画家创作美化美国的的作品,没有提到给他们做培训,故排除D项。故选A。（3）考查推理判断。第二段讲述了WPA's Writers Project的相关情况,第三段讲述了 Federal Arts Project的相关情况,所以推测处文章用列举事实的方式来写的。故选A。

（4）考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的"Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today."很多WPA时期的艺术作品,包括成千上万的展示日常生活的画作,至今保存完好，可知本文主要写WPA时期的影响深渊的作品。故选D。

Everyone at Pacsafe is always eager to get out in the world and enjoy new cultures, food, and experiences. With that in mind we asked a few of our top travel bugs for their best travel destination recommendations for 2019. They also included their favorite Pacsafe bag to take on the trip. Enjoy and hopefully get some ideas for your own globe - trotting adventure.

Sri Lanka - Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director

I'm going to Sri Lanka this summer holiday and can't wait. It's close to Hong Kong where I live and I've always wanted to go. The food is supposed to be amazing. It seems really relaxing and I really want to do the Kandy to Badulla train ride, which looks just stunning. We've booked a good mix of beaches, some time in a safari tent to hopefully see elephants in the wild.

For my bag, I'll most likely take the Quiksilver 40L Pack because it has the built-in wet pack for my bikinis. It's also a great size for a week-long trip in a warm climate.

Japan - Ben Barras, Creative Director

Japan is definitely my best travel destination recommendation. The culture, the streets, the architecture, the inspiration you get from all of that is amazing. The food is also fascinating. It's where I'm most planning to go. Tokyo obviously, but also visiting the mountains. You can go snowboarding, which I haven't done for years.

I have a Vibe 25L Backpack which you can pack a lot in. The thing I like most about it is that it's compact, but still fits plenty in. I'll pair that up with a larger travel bag for the rest of my things and use the backpack to get around day to day.

Berlin - Phil Hayes, Executive VP of Global Design

For me, it's definitely Berlin. I'm particularly excited about the fashion, which I hear is pretty full on. Also the art galleries and history. Food, nightlife. Everything I've heard about Berlin is pretty cool, so I'm going to suck as much as I can out of it. World's Global Style Network had the Berlin shopping list that came out recently, so I'm going to follow that through as well.

Bag wise, it will be the Quiksilver X Collab Bag. It's the 25L Anti-theft Backpack. It's normally my go-to bag for city trips because it's super easy to lock on the plane and in bars, and it's just the right amount of space.

（1）Which of the Pacsafe bag is a good choice for beach travel?

A. The Quiksilver 40L Pack.

B. The Vibe 25L Backpack.

C. The Quiksilver X Collab Bag.

D. 25L Anti-theft Backpack.

（2）If you are interested in fashion, which destination should you choose?

A. Sri Lanka.

B. Japan.

C. Hong Kong.

D. Berlin.

（3）What can you enjoy in all the three places mentioned?

A. Beautiful beaches.

B. Amazing food.

C. Fascinating art.

D. Cool snowboarding.（4）The main purpose of the passage is to .

A. share personal travelling experiences

B. offer practical tips on taking adventure

C. present cultures in different countries

D. recommend favorable travel destinations

（2）D

（3）B

（3）考查细节理解。根据 Sri Lanka - Alison Hanko, Global Marketing Director部分中的“The food is supposed to be amazing.”食物应该很好吃；Japan - Ben Barras, Creative Director部分中

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CAR RENTAL IN CANADA

When you fly into Canada you don't have many choices. A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental companies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country.

What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada?

● Valid Driver's license and International Driver's Permit if your license is not in English or French.

● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket.

● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible.

Fly-Drive Packages from Home

You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a fly-drive package from home or if you book a long time in advance. Rental coast varies to a great extent, depending on the time of year, type of vehicle and length of rental.

Minimum Age

The driver has to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 12 months of driving experience in order to rent a car in Canada. A "Young Renter Fee" will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.

Insurance

Most car rental companies in Canada offer a collision damage waiver (CDW) for an additional charge. Some credit card companies include CDW insurance on car rentals when you use their cards to pay for the rental. Check your credit card's terms and conditions.

Fuel and Service Stations

Most rental cars use unleaded gas. Remember, driving distances in Canada are long and a large amount of your vacation budget will go towards gasoline. Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns. If you are heading up to the Northwest Territories, gas prices will be much higher than in the south.

Cross-Border Travel

Some rental companies don't allow their cars to drive across borders, like from Canada to the US or across provinces. If this is the case, watch out; GPS may be used to track your route.

（1）You'll have to pay extra fees for your car rental in Canada if you .

A. book a fly-drive package from home

B. are 22 with one-year driving experience

C. use a credit card offering CDW insurance

D. have no passport or return airline ticket

10．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

In China, chain restaurants especially the big multinational ones are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, "I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee, "but also, "I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization."

Where I come from in the UK, however, chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet (美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open, or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing, "I'm hungry!" any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald's), a chain is where you are taken on your first "date". Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the "let's just be friends" phone call the next day.

In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says "let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth" (an independent café) is much cooler than one who says "let's go to Starbucks". Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive, there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.

Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.

I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald's.

（1）Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ________.

A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture

B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants

C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status

D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date

（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.

B. Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK.

C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK.

D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.

（3）We can infer from the article that ________.

A. the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut

B. the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends

C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality

D. many Britons don't like big corporations

【答案】（1）C

（2）C

（3）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了很多跨国连锁餐饮店在中国非常受欢迎，因为很多中国人认为在那就餐能够显示出自己的富有和社会地位，而在英国，人们对连锁餐饮店的态度却截然相反，他们更喜欢较小的独立门店。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"It not only says, "I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee," but also, "I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization."可知，很多中国人喜欢去跨国连锁餐饮店是因为在那里就餐能够显示出他们能够支付得起高昂的餐饮费，还能够显示出他们的见多识广，也就是能够显示出他们的富有和社会地位，故选C。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when

nowhere else is open"可知，在英国，新年那天你只能去连锁店就餐，因为其他的门店都不开门，由此可知，在英国，新年那天很多独立门店都是关门歇业的，故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive, there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations."可知，即使蒙茅斯的咖啡贵一点，但知道自己的钱不会流向大公司，人们还是会有一种满足感，由此可知，很多英国人不喜欢大公司，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
