Question

【題目】 GIY stands for “grow it yourself” and is about a new fashion for growing your own food. There are a lot of reasons why growing your own food is a good idea. GIY helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (排放物). Food in supermarkets travels a long way and that produces a lot of CO2. If you grow as many vegetables as you can at home, you can help save the earth.

Vegetables you grow are also good for your health because they have more nutrients than supermarket vegetables and they don’t have chemicals.

How much money can you save? First of all, seeds are a lot cheaper than vegetables, and secondly, you can save more by planting the most expensive and the most productive (多產(chǎn)的) vegetables. You can give your vegetables to friends and neighbors. It can make you very popular.

Don’t worry if you don’t have much space. To GIY, you don’t even need a garden. You can use pots on your balconies (陽(yáng)臺(tái)). And don’t worry if your space doesn’t get much sun. You can plant vegetables that don’t need a lot of sun to grow.

【解析】

這篇文章講的是GIY這一生活理念，就是鼓勵(lì)人們自己種蔬菜，這樣既讓自己有了健康的身體，又使環(huán)境得到改善，社會(huì)生活更加健康。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容第一段“Food in supermarkets travels a long way and that produces a lot of CO2.超市里的食物經(jīng)過長(zhǎng)途運(yùn)輸并產(chǎn)生了很多二氧化碳。”的描述可知，食物在運(yùn)輸過程中會(huì)產(chǎn)生CO2。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Don't worry if you don't have much space. To GIY, you … don’t need a lot of sun to grow.”可知花園，陽(yáng)光等不是最需要的，結(jié)合短文描述可知，人們種植自己的蔬菜最需要的是種子。故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“You can plant vegetables that don't need a lot of sun to grow.”可知并不是所有蔬菜都需要一些陽(yáng)光，故選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段“First of all, seeds are a lot cheaper than vegetables,”可知種子要比蔬菜便宜的多，但是沒提到自己種的菜和超市的菜的價(jià)格對(duì)比，故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)短文“You can use pots on your balconies(陽(yáng)臺(tái)).”的描述可知，種植蔬菜可以用陽(yáng)臺(tái)上的一些容器，故選項(xiàng)C正確；D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容文章沒有提及。故選C。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納題。這篇文章講的是GIY這一生活理念，就是鼓勵(lì)人們自己種蔬菜，故選B。
