5.My husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard.We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.
It's true that if you are starting from fresh,it will cost a little bit of money to get started.However,once everything is set up,the cost is very small and the rewards are huge.The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year.We do a lot of juicing,so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.
There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables.Vegetables out of your vegetable garden don't get any fresher,tastier or more satisfying.The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.
Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one.We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥).The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems.No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds.Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干預(yù)) or having plants sown in rows,so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.
By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules.What can I say?We're such rebels.(叛逆者)

28.What does the author think about people growing their own vegetables?A
A.It is a rewarding activity.
B.It is costly in the beginning.
C.People should devote many efforts.
D.People should share their tips.
29.What does the underlined word"emulate"in paragraph 4mean?B
A.Create.B.Imitate(模仿).C.Protect        D.Improve.
30.Why does the author call her and her husband"rebels"?A
A.They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.
B.They don't buy vegetables from the market.
C.They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.
D.They don't grow ordinary vegetables.
31.Which of the following shows the structure of the text?(P:Paragraph)D

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了自己種植蔬菜是一種有益的活動,要多利用.

解答 28.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段We do a lot of juicing,so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens可知作者認為自己種植蔬菜是一種有益的活動;故選A.
29.B.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems可知我們種植的蔬菜的方法是模仿自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng);意為模仿;故選B.
30.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules.What can I say?We're such rebels可知他們使用非常規(guī)的方法來種植蔬菜因此作者說她和她的丈夫是"反叛者";故選A.
31.D.細節(jié)理解題.通讀全文,文章先總起描述了要多自己種植蔬菜,在講述了自己種植的好處和作者夫妻自己種植的經(jīng)歷兩部分;故選D.

點評 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.

20.Repeated exposure to social networking sites leaves users with an‘‘identity crisis",wanting attention in the manner of a baby saying,'‘Look at me,Mummy,I've done this."
Professor Baroness Greenfield believes the growth of internet"friendships",as well as greater use of computer games,could effectively‘'rewire"the brain,
This can result in reduced concentration,a need for instant satisfaction on poor non-verbal skills,such as the ability to make eye contact during conversations.
More than 750million people across the world use Facebook to share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts.Millions have also signed up to Twitter,the"micro-blogging"service that lets members circulate short text and picture messages about themselves.
Baroness Greenfield said,"What concerns me is the banality of so much that goes out on Twitter,"Why should someone be interested in what someone else has had for breakfast?It reminds me of a small child saying,"Look at me Mummy,I'm doing this","Look at me Mummy,I'm doing that".
"It's almost as if they're in some kind of identity crisis."The academic suggested that some Facebook users feel the need to become"mini-celebrities,"who are watched and admired by others on a daily basis.They do things that are"Facebook worthy"because the only way they can define themselves is by people knowing about them.
"It's almost as if people are living in a world that's not a real world,but a world where what counts is what people think of you or (if they) can click on you,"she said.
"Think of the implications for society if people worry more about what other people think about them than what they think about themselves."
Her views were supported by Sue Palmer,a literary expert and author,who said girls in particular believe they are"goods they must sell to other people"on Facebook.
She said."People used to have a portrait painted but now we can more or less design our own picture online,it's like being the star of your own reality TV show that you create and put out to the world."
59.People who often use Facebook and Twitter willD.
A.develop strong online friendship with other users
B.improve their ability to focus their attention on things
C.develop non-verbal skills to communicate with each other
D have a childlike desire for constant feedback on their lives
60.The underlined word"banality"in the passage may mean something that isA.
A.dull 
B.interesting 
C.important 
D.serious
61.The purpose of the passage isA.
A.to advise people to use less social networking
B.to warn people not to be cheated on Facebook
C.to introduce the functions of Facebook and Twitter
D.to explain the identity crisis of Facebook and Twitter.
