from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago.Maria really liked some things about the city,but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day,Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor,Mrs.Garcia,carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil.Maria wondered how Mrs.Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables,and I know she misses her garden now that we dont have a yard,”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia laughed.“Ill show you,”she said.Maria thought that Mrs.Garcia would take her to the park,but she took her to the roof.When the door opened,Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden!”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space.Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden.The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean,but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather.“I plant flowers in my own place,”Mrs.Garcia said,“but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here.Some people grow vegetables just like your mom.You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside.You just have to be creative!”4.Where did Mrs.Garcia take Maria to one day?A.The park.B.The roof.C.The garden in front of her house.D.The countryside.5.Which of the following is NOT the good side of the community garden?A.It made the building stronger.B.It helped keep the air clean.C.It helped keep the building cooler.D.It used the empty space well.6.After Maria visited the garden,she would most probably ask her mom to _.A.go back to the countryside B.pick flowers from the garden C show her around the park D.grow vegetables on the roof 7.What is the best title for this passage?A.A Creative Lady B.An Empty Roof C.A Rooftop Garden D.A Special Building C If you believe in thermometers(温度计),you should believe in global warming.And if you believe in eating French fries with your hamburger,you should worry more about carbonemission.It wont happen overnight,but as the planets climate changes,the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected.Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly.“They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber,the part that we eat,”Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth,and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.“We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,”Nelson says.“Theyve been moving up the mountains,but at some point you run out of mountains to move up.”Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature,especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if youre looking at the direct effects of temperature alone,rice is in trouble.“As nighttime temperatures go up,the rice is going to have a problem flowering and wont make as many seeds,”Nelson says.In addition to this direct heat consequence,rising sea levels will flood many rice paddies and destroy water salinity levels,while droughts will lower production,raise prices,and further shame westerners who are clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.8.What is the closest meaning to the underlined word“emission”in Paragraph 1?A.Mixture.B.Pollution.C.Giving off.D.Going down.9.What does the potatoes development need according to Nelson?A.Cool temperature at night.B.Sudden rise of the temperature.C.Enough water and salt.D.Much sunshine and fresh air.10.The rice is difficult to flower,probably because _.A.sea levels go up suddenly B.many seeds cant be produced C.the temperature rises at night D.both temperature and altitude rise 11.What is the best title for the text?A.How Does Global Warming Affect Westerners B.How Does the Cool Temperature Affect Rice C.What Is the Real Reason For Crops Growth D.Three Crops That Wont Survive Climate Changes D The market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before.Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains,Arctic lands,deserts,small islands and wetlands to high-spending tourists.The attraction of these areas is obvious:by definition,wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment.But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination,the effects on the local community are profound.Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields.It is not surprising that many o them give up their farm-work.In some hill-regions,this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet,because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies,year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season.However,as some inhabitants become involved in tourism,they no longer have time to collect wild food;this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores.What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism.Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads,but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers.In both mountains and deserts,slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.12.Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A.The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B.The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C.Developing tourism there doesnt need much investment.D.Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.13.What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A.Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B.There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C.Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D.The local peoples new sources of income will dry up soon.14.Which might be the best title of the passage?A.The future of wilderness tourism.B.The impacts of wilderness tourism.C.The destruction of wilderness tourism.D.The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.15.If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph,what will it talk about?A.The effects on local people.B.The solutions tothese problems.C.The choices of adventure tourists.D.The reasons for visiting remote areas.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 Dealing with conflicts with friends Great
