AUrban(乡村的) gardens are valuable places to communities. 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 GreensWhere: New York & ChicagoWhat: 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(太阳能电池板) to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable.Baltimore Urban Gardening with StudentsWhere: Baltimore, MarylandWhat: 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 FarmWhere: Boston, MassachusettsWhat: 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 with information on healthy eating, and access to the farm's fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help these families escape the cycle of poverty.SwaleWhere: New YorkWhat: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is a 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(展览品) and an educational farm. Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines- each one complementing(完美) the other in a symbiotic(共生的) relationship.21. What does the BUGS program mainly do?A. Provide job training for students.B. Use high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food.C. Create a sustainable garden on a large boat.D. Offer students the opportunity to grow vegetables.22. Which urban garden helps homeless people get out of poverty?A. Gotham Greens.B. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students.C. ReVision Urban Farm.D. Swale.23. Where can citizens go to see a food forest?A. Chicago.B. Baltimore.C. Boston.D. New YorkBDo you like to keep fit? We're always told that regular exercise is good for our body and mind. More and more people are taking up activities that improve their fitness. But is there a risk that some of us might get obsessed (着迷的) and overdo it?Well, for some people, fitness has become an obsession as they aim for perfection. And fitness trackers (追踪器) and apps can add to this addiction (癒), especially if someone is driven by achievement and perfectionism. And sharing data on social media means exercising becomes public and competitive, which could cause problems in someone who is vulnerable(脆弱的).Experts say this can lead to a medical condition called orthorexia nervosa, or addiction to healthy eating and over-exercise. Untreated, it can lead to malnutrition and mental health complications.Too much exercise can also take its toll on someone's physical health as well. Symptoms of over-exercising include injuries such as a broken leg and a low immune system. So how much exercise is too much? Researchers found the ideal pace to jog was about eight kilometers per hour and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total, showing that moderate jogging is possibly more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous (剧烈的) jogging.If you're more of a couch potato than a quick runner, this might sound like good news. But for amateur (业余的) athletes who can't help but push their bodies to the limit the advice from Martin Turner. a sports and exercise psychologist(心理学家),is, “ It's all about letting go, not being obsessed, learning not to controleverything, saying, “You don't need to be perfect.”24. What contributes most to people's addiction to over-exercise according to paragraph 2?A. Their urge for social support.B. Their pursuit of perfectionism.C. Their addiction to fitness apps.D. Their concern over health issues.25. What does the underlined phrase “take its toll on” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Have a bad effect on.B. Go hand in hand with.C. Make little difference to.D. Play an important role in.26. What is the text mainly about?A. The risk of fitness obsession.B. The importance of mental healthC. The benefits of moderate jogging.D. The symptoms of over-exercising.27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Science.B. Opinion.C. Culture.D. LifestyleCA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a churchgoer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It's extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something thatupsets some of their patrons(资助人）. So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition's six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is thatpeople seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young's head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland". Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says,“we would risk becoming irrelevant.”28. What was the woman eager to do according to paragraph 1?A. To get her phone.B. To escape the crowdC. To take a photo.D. To push ahead.29. How did the de Young respond to the complaints from visitors?A. By setting periods without photo-taking.B. By making the exhibition free of charge.C. By compromising with the government.D. By extending the free exhibition hours.30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may _________.A. uncover the truthB. cause irrelevancyC. bring more pleasureD. play a negative role31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A. Reducing admission prices.B. Meeting different needs of the visitors.C. Reserving judgement in public.D. Banning social media and photography.DCuckoos(布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don't spend the energy building a nest(鸟巢), protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead, the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don't raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.To succeed in doing this, & female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host's eggs to make room for her own.Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch(孵化) and begin to grow in a host's nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster parents(养父母)，but still continues to receive food from them.The cuckoo imposter(冒名顶替者）is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the nonbiological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts'. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds' attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.32. What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young?A. Attend to eggs.B. Build a new nest.C. Learn feeding skills.D. Rely on other birds.33. Wh at does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Other cuckoos.B. Baby cuckoos.C. Cuckoo's host parents.D. Cuckoo's birth parents.34. What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter?A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.B. It throws all the other eggs out of nests with its mother's help.C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.35. Which can be the best title for the text?A. How cuckoos protect their childrenB. How cuckoos fool other birdsC. How cuckoos destroy others' nestsD. How cuckoos produce eggs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。
