2017年江蘇省蘇州市英語真題（閱讀理解B篇）

Last summer，Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to building in Chicago．Maria really liked some things about the city，but she missed her house and yard in the countryside．

One day，Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor，Mrs．Garcia，carrying a gardening tool and a bag of soil．Maria wondered how Mrs．Garcia was able to garden in the city．

"My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables，and I know she misses her garden now that we don t have a yard，"said Maria．

Mrs．Garcia laughed．"I ll show you，"she said．

Maria thought that Mrs．Garcia would take her to the park，but she took her to the roof（屋頇）．When the door opened，Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof．

"What a wonderful garden!"said Maria．

Mrs．Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space．Then some of the people in the building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden．The building owners liked the idea because the plants not only helped to keep the air clean，but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather．

"I plant flowers in my own place，"Mrs．Garcia said，but you would be surprised by how different the plants are up here．Some people grow vegetables just like your mom．You can do some of the same things in the city as in the countryside．You just have to be creative!"

28．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the community garden？

A．It used the empty space well．

【文章大意】

文章主要講述的是在城市種植綠色植物的經歷。通常情況下，城市到處都是樓房，種植蔬菜等綠色植物是不可能的。本文中，提供了一種可行的方法，那就是在閑置的屋頂上種植，一來可以利用空間，二來可以凈化空氣。

【答案與解析】

28．D推理判斷題，文中提到the plants not only helped to keep the air clean，but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer weather在樓頂上種植綠色植物可以保持空氣清新，同時還能使夏天涼爽一點，除此之外，for a long time the roof was just an empty space過去很長一段時間以來，屋頂都是空的，因此在屋頂種菜還能夠利用屋頂的閑置空間，由此確定選擇D。

29．C推理判斷題，文中提到Some people grow vegetables just like your mom，一些人像你媽媽那樣喜歡種蔬菜，My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables，我的母親過去常常種可口的蔬菜，由此可以推測，她回家後應該是會告訴母親鄰居家在屋頂種蔬菜的事情，並且會建議母親也來種，由此確定選擇C。

30．B主旨歸納題，本文主要講述的是在城市樓房的屋頂上種植綠色植物，由此確定選擇B。
