11.Luca Gramberini has been scuba diving(戴水肺潛水)  since he was a kid.His family owns a scuba company.For the past three summers,Luca has added gardening to his underwater activities.He helps run Nemo's Garden,a project to grow plants in the sea.
From May through September,Luca and other divers are working on Nemo's Garden in the Mediterranean Sea,150feet from the coast of Noli,Italy.Five large balloon-like objects,called biospheres(生物圈),hold plants such as beans and strawberries.The biospheres are filled with air and placed 20feet below the surface."My father came up with the idea because he loves gardening very much,"Luca said.
According to Luca,the sea is a good place to grow plants because underwater temperatures remain stable,changing little from day to night.The biospheres act like greenhouses.Inside the air-filled biospheres,fresh water keeps evaporating(蒸發(fā)),providing the plants with a good environment to grow in."We have already seen the plants,grow faster and better,"Luca says."And there are fewer storms that can knock down the biospheres during the summer."
Luca hopes Nemo's Garden will provide a new way of growing crops."There is not enough land on the Earth,"he says."And in many developing countries,bad conditions make it difficult for crops to grow."
Though the project has just started,Nemo's Garden has achieved success and is moving to different areas."We're going to try growing other plants."Luca says."We hope to set up biospheres in other countries.There are many possibilities."

分析 全文大意:
從Luca Gramberini還是孩子的時(shí)候,他就潛水.因?yàn)樗议_(kāi)了一個(gè)潛水公司.在過(guò)去的三年夏天里,Luca在他的水下活動(dòng)中增加了園藝.他幫助經(jīng)營(yíng)尼莫花園,一個(gè)在海底種植的項(xiàng)目.從五月到九月,Luca和其他潛水員在地中海的尼莫花園工作,距離意大利城市諾利海岸150英尺.五個(gè)巨大的像氣球一樣的物體被稱為生物圈.里面種植了豆子、草莓等作物.生物圈里充滿了空氣位于海平面20英尺以下.Luca說(shuō)"我父親想出的主意,因?yàn)樗浅釔?ài)園藝."據(jù)Luca說(shuō)海底是種植的好地方因?yàn)楹5诇囟缺3址(wěn)定,白天與晚上溫差很。锶ο駵厥乙粯樱诔錆M了空氣的生物圈,新鮮水保持蒸發(fā),給植物提供了生長(zhǎng)的好的環(huán)境.Luca說(shuō)"我們已看到植物生長(zhǎng)地又快又好,在夏季很少有暴風(fēng)雨會(huì)撞擊到生物圈"Luca希望尼莫花園會(huì)給農(nóng)作物種植提供一個(gè)新的方法.他說(shuō)"地球上沒(méi)有足夠的陸地,在很多發(fā)展中國(guó)家,惡劣的環(huán)境對(duì)于農(nóng)作物的生長(zhǎng)不利."盡管這個(gè)項(xiàng)目剛剛開(kāi)始.尼莫花園已經(jīng)取得成功正轉(zhuǎn)向不同領(lǐng)域.Luca說(shuō)"我打算嘗試種其他植物.我們希望在其他國(guó)家建立生物圈,這是有許多可能性的."

解答 答案:
34.D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題       根據(jù)第一段最后一句話:He helps run Nemo's Garden,a project to grow plants in the sea."他幫助經(jīng)營(yíng)尼莫花園,一個(gè)在海底種植的項(xiàng)目"可知尼莫花園是一個(gè)水下種植的項(xiàng)目,故選D.
35.C      詞義猜測(cè)題     根據(jù)含有劃線單詞的句子的下文changing little from day to night"白天與晚上溫差很小"可知海底氣溫變化很小,故推測(cè)stable意為"穩(wěn)定"的意思.故選C
36.B      推理判斷題       根據(jù)全文大意,可知文章講了Luca和其他潛水員在地中海的尼莫花園工作,地址位于意大利城市諾利的海岸附近,"尼莫花園"是一個(gè)水下種植的項(xiàng)目,是對(duì)于農(nóng)業(yè)新方向的探索,旨在研究缺乏肥沃土壤的情況下在海底種植農(nóng)作物的可能性,故推知可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙的科技部分,故選B
37.A      主旨大意題        文章講了Luca和其他潛水員在地中海的尼莫花園工作,地址位于意大利城市諾利的海岸附近,"尼莫花園"是一個(gè)水下種植的項(xiàng)目可知文章主要圍繞海底花園展開(kāi),故擬個(gè)最佳題目就是海底花園即"Gardens in the sea",故選A

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做題時(shí)先把文章快速通讀一遍抓住其大意.對(duì)于涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解的題目,要結(jié)合問(wèn)題從文中找到與之相關(guān)的句子,抓住關(guān)鍵詞和細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行選擇,和選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比對(duì)快速選出答案.必要時(shí)要聯(lián)系上下文,即可選出正確答案.

9.A 108-year-old Message in a BottleOn November 30,1906,George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea.The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor,and then it move slowly for 108years and 138days.
Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015.Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island.She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach.She saw a piece of paper inside,but didn't break it open.She could tell that the bottle was old.So she didn't want to damage it.
Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle.She found that the paper was actually a postcard.On the back of the card there was this message:The Marine Biological Association(海洋生物學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)) would pay a shilling(先令) for the bottle.A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.
Winkler filled out the card and posted it.The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder,the president of the association from 1939to 1945.The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling.They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.
The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered.For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in"Guinness World Records"(吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄).She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.
Winkler's bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea.Between 1904and 1906,he spent away more than one thousand bottles.He placed postcards inside them.The bottles were part of a research  project to map currents(洋流) in the North Sea.This was the best method at that time.But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them.The association reported that about 55percent of the bottles were returned.They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea's currents.

61.How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea?For 108 years and 138 days.
62.Did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015?Yes.
63.What was in the bottle?A piece of paper.
64.Who was George Bidder?The president of the association from 1939 to 1945.
65.Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea?Because the bottles were parts of a research project to map currents in the North Sea..
