4.Scope:What led you to start an urban (城市的) garden?
Denzel:When I was 14,I went on a service trip to New Orleans.My group helped build an urban garden in a neighborhood that had all the same problems as mine.I realized we could make a difference at home too.I came back and worked with friends to find land we were allowed to use,clean it up,and build a garden.
Scope:Tell us about your neigh borhood in Philadelphia.
Denzel:There is crime (犯罪) and violence,and everybody used to see it as a place where there was nothing to do.Because there wasn't a lot of fresh food around,a typical (典型的) meal would be something like chips,soda,or cheese sticks.
Scope:What is the urban garden like?
Denzel:We have outdoor gardens and greenhouses where we can grow plants year-round.It's made a big difference in the neighborhood.
Scope:How?
Denzel:It's given people something positive (積極的) to do.Both young kids and older people come to the garden,and we help them grow their own food.They can also help with marketing when we sell food to local restaurants.People are eating healthier,too.Food is connected to everything.
Scope:What do you mean?
Denzel:If you don't eat fresh food,you feel tired and unhealthy.People who eat fresh food are more confident.People who grow their own food are even more confident.
Scope:Has that been true for you?
Denzel:As a young teen,I ate nothing but unhealthy food and was overweight.I felt depressed about where I lived.That changed when I started working on the garden.The physical work helped me get in better shape,and I went from eating chips to salad.I realized I could make a change for the better.

解答 DAB
21.D 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"There is crime (犯罪) and violence"可知,那是一個充滿犯罪和暴力的不安全的地方.故選D.
22.A 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"It's given people something positive (積極的) to do.Both young kids and older people come to the garden"可知,自從建造了一個花園,那里的人變得活潑積極.故選A.
23.B 考查詞意猜測.根據(jù)"As a young teen,I ate nothing but unhealthy food and was overweight"可知,當時作者吃不健康的食物而導致發(fā)胖,他的內(nèi)心應當是抑郁的.所以該詞的意思是"不開心".故選B.
點評 閱讀理解考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
