　　Ⅲ.[2011·全國卷Ⅰ]閱讀理解

　　Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband’s income.So this year she did something more than a hobby(業余愛好)：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 was 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(經濟)，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，said 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.

　　31．What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?

　　A．chickens

　　B．tomatoes

　　C．gardens

　　D．people

　　32.By saying “a win-win situation all around”，Ms.Gartin means that________.

　　A．she is happier and her garden bigger

　　B．she may spend less and lose weight

　　C．she is selling more and buying less

　　D．she has grown more varieties of vegetables

　　33.Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?

　　A．More Americans are doing it for fun.

　　B．The price of oil is lower than before.

　　C．There’s a growing need for fruits.

　　D．The cost of living is on the rise.

　　34．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

　　A．Family Food Planning

　　B．Banking on Gardening

　　C．A Belt-tightening Move

　　D．Gardening as a Hobby

　　Ⅳ.任務型讀寫

　　請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。

　　注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。

　　Having entered a boarding school, Ada and her twin sister Rita determined to strike out independently. Although the sisters had requested rooms in different buildings, they were placed in the same, Ada on the eighth floor and Rita one floor higher. While Ada lived in harmony with her roommate, Rita was unhappy. She and her roommate had a quarrel over matters like the smallest thing—the time of lights being turned off—and the biggest thing—the arrangement of the furniture. Finally, they communicated primarily through short notes rather than by speaking. Rita kept running down along the stairs to ask Ada for help. Before long, the two wanted to live together again. Rita’s roommate finally had to move out.

　　Rita’s ability to solve her problem by rooming with her twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not. Despite great efforts by many schools to make good roommate matches, unpleasant outcomes are common.

　　Most conflicts between roommates develop from small, annoying differences. In extreme cases, the conflicts can lead to serious violence and affect roommates’ psychological (心理的) health.

　　Learning to tolerate a stranger’s habits may teach students the art of compromise, but the learning process is often painful.

　　Many schools have started conflict solution programs to calm tensions that could build up like a volcano preparing to explode, resulting in physical violence. Some schools try to prevent conflicts by using computerized matching. Students are put together on the basis of their answers to housing form questions about preferred hours of study and sleep, and self-described tendencies toward tidiness or disorder. Parents sometimes weaken the process by taking the forms and filling in false data about their children’s habits.

　　If only conflicts between roommates could disappear!

　　Title Roommate 35.________

　　Example Rita, living on the 36.________floor, quarreled with her roommate over matters 37.________from when lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged before they gave up on oral communication. Rita kept running 38.________to seek comfort from her twin sister. They finally 39.________the room again.

　　40.________ Though many schools try to make 41.________roommates, conflicts between roommates still exist.

　　Bad results ·Leading to serious physical violence.

　　·42.________roommates’ psychological health.

　　Solutions ·Learning the art of 43.________.

　　·Tolerating a stranger’s habits.

　　·Using computerized matching.

　　Wish Conflicts between roommates could be 44. ________.

　　答案

　　課時作業(十五)

　　Ⅰ.1.C　考查動詞詞義辨析。leave 離開，丟下；throw扔掉；ignore 忽視，不顧；emphasize強調。句意：受增長收益的驅使，安全措施被公司經理忽視了，那正是這次事故發生的原因。結合句意可知C項為正確答案。

　　2．A　考查名詞的區別。該題的意思是：這個體系設計的目的是為了給學生們快速、容易地使用圖書館電子資源的機會。access to的意思是：接近或使用某物的機會或權利。由以上分析可知答案為A。approach的意思是“方法”，不符合語境。

　　3．B　考查形容詞辨析。alternative可供選擇的；absolute完全的；alternate輪流的；appreciable足以認為重要的。句意：春節期間我打算回家，但是如果買不到火車票，我還有別的安排，參觀博物館。

　　4．A　考查非謂語。從句子結構判斷此處需要定語修飾path，lead與path之間是邏輯上的主動關系，因此要用現在分詞作定語。不定式作定語往往表示將來的動作，例如：There is nothing to do. 此處也可以用定語從句修飾path，但是要用關系代詞引導，即that/which leads up to the house，因為關系詞在定語從句中作主語不能省略，故排除B項。

　　5．C　考查固定搭配。become of表示“降臨于，遭遇，發生”，是固定搭配，故答案為C。

　　6．C　考查固定搭配。be accustomed to (doing) sth.是固定搭配，表示“習慣于(做)某事”。

　　7．B　考查固定搭配。approve of sb. doing sth.是固定搭配，表示“贊成某人做某事”。

　　8．D　考查動詞的用法辨析。四個選項都可以接賓語從句，但只有urge后接賓語從句時要求從句中的謂語動詞用“should＋動詞原形”形式，should可以省略。故答案為D。

　　9．B　考查worth與worthy的用法區別。be worth doing 值得做……；be worthy of sth./being done值得做……；be worthy to be done 值得做……。所以答案是B。

　　10．B　考查動詞短語的辨析。句意：因為銷售額下降，商店不得不裁掉一些雇員。lay out展開，擺開；lay off(暫時)解雇，裁減；lay aside放在一邊；lay down放下，規定，制定。

　　Ⅱ.11.A　on the way home 是固定詞組，意為“在回家的路上”。

　　12．D　根據前面提到的on the bus or train，可知這個人已經在車上，應該是在看報紙。

　　13．C　it appears as if看起來好像……

　　14．B　坐車打瞌睡時會不停地點頭，看起來像“吃”報紙一樣。

　　15．D　結合前面的bus和train，指那些坐在他身旁的陌生人。sitting next to坐在旁邊的。

　　16．C　前面提到了人們經常疲憊而入睡在汽車和火車這些地方，因此這里討論另一個入睡的地方。

　　17．A　指另一個人們容易進行睡眠的地方。go on進行；end up結束；last持續。

　　18．C　從前面的snoring(打鼾)，可知聲音太大，以至于教授不得不讓其他學生把睡覺的學生喚醒。

　　19．B　教授讓其他的學生把睡覺打鼾的學生叫醒，因為睡得深沉，因此需要搖晃才能醒來。

　　20．C　從后面的pushes the arm off 可知是腦袋的重量壓在胳膊上，推動了胳膊。

　　21．B　根據常識判斷，同學們一般趴在桌子上面睡覺，故選B。

　　22．C　結合后面這個學生在地上醒來，可知不但胳膊滑下了桌子，而且整個身體都滑了下去。

　　23．A　從前面的wakes up on the floor可知這個學生醒來的時候，對于發生了什么根本沒有印象。

　　24．D　結合后面的police和road可知最可怕的睡眠是發生在駕駛的時候。

　　25．D　由于人們在駕駛的時候睡著了，因此根據警察的報告應該是發生的交通事故。

　　26．B　根據前面的people fall into sleep可知人們睡著了，因此開車的時候，容易駛離公路。

　　27．A　從后面的they are not seriously hurt可知他們受傷不嚴重，因此表示他們是幸運的。

　　28．D　這里作者以一位婦女的情況作為例子，來說明駕駛中睡覺的危害，故選D。

　　29．B　從前面可知這個婦女把汽車開進了河里，因此她應該是在水里。

　　30．A　結合文章的第一段第一句話people are so tired，可知這里選A。

　　Ⅲ.31.A　詞義理解題。根據第一段的“The family’s old farm house has become a chicken house，its residents arriving next month.” 我們知道，這里所說的“房子的居住者”就是這些小雞。

　　32．B　推理判斷題。根據第一段的“…she said，‘The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds，too；…’”可知，“雙贏狀況”指的是省錢和減肥。故選B項。

　　33．D　細節理解題。根據第一段中的“The cost of everything is going up”我們知道，物價上漲是他們自己種植蔬菜的主要原因。

　　34．B　主旨大意題。全文講述了在物價飛速上漲的美國，人們為了節省開支自己種植蔬菜的事情。

　　Ⅳ.35.Conflicts/conflicts　縱觀全文尤其是文中提到的“She and her roommate had a quarrel over matters”“Most conflicts between roommates”等可知。

　　36．ninth　根據第一段中的“Ada on the eighth floor and Rita one floor higher.”可以推知。

　　37．ranging　根據第一段中的“She and her roommate had a quarrel over matters like the smallest thing—the time of lights being turned off—and the biggest thing—the arrangement of the furniture.”可以推知爭吵的范圍。
