Unit 1 Friendship

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2017·浙江)

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband’s income.So this year she did something more than a hobby:She planted vegetables in her yard.For her first garden,Ms.Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,and five rows of a variety of vegetables.The family’s old farm house has become a chicken house,its residents arriving next month.Last year,Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden.This year she has made it much larger because,she said,“The cost of everything is going up and I am looking to lose a few pounds,too;so it’s a win-win situation all around.”

They are among the growing number of Americans who,driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.Others have increased the size of their existing gardens.Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home.Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months.In Austin,Tex.,some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.

George C.Ball Jr.,owner of a company,says sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year,double the average growth of the last five years.Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years.The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk,together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables.Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices.People are now driving less,taking fewer vacations,so there is more time to garden.

D.The cost of living is on the rise. 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“They are among the growing number of Americans who,driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.”可知,种植蔬菜正变得越来越受欢迎的原因是日益上升的生活成本。故选D项。A项和C项在文中均未提及;由文章最后一段倒数第二句可知,油价在上涨,故B项错误。

3.Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A.Family Food Planning C.A Belt-tightening Move 答案B 解析主旨大意题。文章讲的是为节约生活成本,人们纷纷种植蔬菜。故选B项“指望种菜”。A项“家庭食物计划”和C项“勒紧裤腰带的行动”在文中均未提及;D项“把园艺作为爱好”是对文章第一段第二句的曲解。
