短文后列出

个句子，根据短文内容判断每个句子

是文中未提及。
Farms Appear in Cities
When you
h
ear the
word “farm”, you
may imagine the countryside
with cows and crops.
But
scientists
say the farms of the future
could be built in tall buildings in some large
cities.
It
may
be
difficult
to
believe,
but
in
fact,
the
technology
for
growing
crops
in
doors
already
exists.
Farming in the city
is already happening. Some vegetables are already
grown in greenhouses. Even the
scientists
at
the
South
Pole
research
station
can
enjoy
fresh
vegetables
they
grow
in
their
own
greenhouse.
Experts say indoor farming
solves many problems. First, traditional farming
takes up a lot of land.
Growing crops
in tall buildings
—
called
vertical farming
（垂直农业）—
can
solve the problem. Also,
fruits and
vegetables grown indoors would not face serious
threats from insects and weather.
Though
vertical
farms don’t exist yet, experts have
created a plan for recycling in
such
farms. The
water from indoor
fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases
from crop waste would be used to heat
the building. Waste from chicken or
pigs would be reused as a source of energy.
But
experts
believe
vertical
farming
is
not
going
to
be
easy.
They
say
it
can
be
difficult
to
control
climate
conditions
indoors.
Besides,
Plants
differ
in
their
weather
and
lighting
needs.
For
example,
some
plants like warm, sunny weather, but
other plants prefer cooler temperatures.
That’s
not
to
say
these
difficulties
won’t
be
overcome
—
but
it
will
take
time.
Most
experts
suggest
it may take about 5 to 15 years before
the first vertical farms could be created.
【参考译文】
农场出现在城市里（城中农场）
当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。
但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市
的高楼里。
此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，
在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里
生长。甚至在
南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。
据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多
问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）
可以解决此问
题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。
尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是
专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作
物，把来自于
农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。
但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件
容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和
光照需求有差
异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。
并不是说这些困难不能克服——但
是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年
到十五年的时
间。

A Good
Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years,
my parents decided that my family would move to
the United
States. We all looked
forward to this. What would people think of us?
For me, I hoped to be the hero of
the
class.
I was
not disappointed. All my classmates admired my
experience, and I quickly became well known as
“the
French
guy.”
I
was
very
popular
for
a
time.
However,
I
was
not
interested
in
many
things
my
classmates
did, and it was
hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed
listening to classical music, never watched
TV, and almost never watched movies.
I did not have
a common background with my friends because I grew
up in Europe. I had few friends,
and
fewer good friends. When I look back now, I
realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people
around
me. I kept talking proudly about
my experience. And I thought myself better than
those around me because
I lived in
Europe but they didn’t.
I had decided I wanted
better friends when my parents said that we were
going to move again! I saw
this as a
perfect chance to get better friends, where people
did not know of my unkind past.
When we moved to
California, I did not show off as I had done for
five years. I did not tell everyone
that I lived in Europe. I still
listened to classical music, but I just kept my
music to myself. Sure
enough, I found
that people like someone who is not typical but
does not boast about it.
Nothing can replace good friends, and
if I had to control my temper and pride, it was
well worth it.
【短文大意】
一个教训
在欧洲生活了七年以后，我父母决定搬到美国。我们都盼望着搬家，人们会怎样对待我们
？我希望成为班里的
英雄。
我没有失望。我的班里所有同学都羡慕我的经历，很快我以“
法国男孩”著称。那一段时间我很受欢迎，然而
我对班里同学做的许多事情都不感兴趣，
很难融入他们之中。我喜欢听古典音乐，从不看电视，也几乎从不看电影。
因为我生长在欧洲，所以与我的朋
友们背景不同。我没有几个朋友，好朋友更少。现在当我回顾往事，我意识
到我对周围的
人们有一点儿像个白痴一样，我总是高傲地谈到我的经历，并且我认为我比我周围的人都好，因为我
曾生活在欧洲但他们没有。
当我的父母说我们要再次搬家时，我决定我要有更好的朋友。
我看到交好朋友的机会，因为那个地方的人对我
的过去并不了解。
我们搬到了加利福尼亚时，我
没有像过去五年那样炫耀。我仍然听古典音乐，但是我只是自己欣赏。的确，我
发现人们
喜欢那种独特的但不夸耀的人。
什么也不能替代好朋友，如果为此不得不控制自己的脾气和傲慢，这也是值得的。

阅读选择题的应试技巧
短文阅读主要测试考生对阅读的书面材料理解的程度，
既可以为外语学习者提供运用语言知识、
文化背景知识，
又可以巩固所学语言知识技能、提高英语水平。所以是外语学习者必须掌握的基本技能，也是各种英语
考试的重点
内容。因此，阅读部分考试成绩的优劣在整个考试中起着举足轻重的作用，所
以考生在备考的过程中必须加以重视。
阅读理解是对字、词、句法的进一步学习和综合运用。要提高
阅读能力，除了掌握的基本语法规则知识外，还
要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力
的训练主要可以从下面三个方面入手：词汇、方法、侧重点。
1
）词汇
在阅读过程中，不可避免地会碰到
不认识的单词，考试中又不允许查字典，有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影
响不大，可以
忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下，就需要利用猜字的
技巧猜出词的含义。
快速阅读的
CPD
公式
Context, Parts, Dictionary
每日学习词汇
study
vocabulary daily
使用所学词汇
use the words you
learn
创立你自己的词汇表
create your own
word list
2
）方法
方法一：先看文章后做题。主要针对简单易懂的文章、时间又
较充裕的情况。
方法二：先看问题后再读文章再做题。这种方法在时间紧、文章长的情况下更为实用。这样可以带着问题
去阅
读，文章中的内容与考题有关系时仔细阅读，与题目无关时，可以置之不理，很快跳
过去。还有一些题目涉及一般
常识或科普知识，可以在未阅读文章之前自己先行判断，在
阅读时只要对自己的判断进行验证就可以了。
3
）三个侧重点
除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外
，阅读时要注意不要逐字逐句地翻译，而要侧重地阅读。
侧重首段、尾段，首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要
谈及的论点、主题或中心思想，抓住了主干，那
么细节问题就会迎刃而解。
侧重语篇标志词。语
篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的，把握住这些词语就
等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系，对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。
侧重长句、难句。因为英语表达多
以冗长著称，论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思
想内容，从而
使文章更具有说服力。所以，我们在阅读时，必须重视长句、难句，认真分析句子，把握住关键点。
事实上，不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。
以上是归纳出的几点解英语阅读选
择题目的技巧。考生在训练中应尽快掌握这些技巧，并在实践中摸索出一套
适合自己的方
法。

Dormitory Life
①Living in a
dormitory
at college can be a great
experience. However, if you take no steps to make
this
experience
positive,
dormitory
life
can
become
a
misery.
When
you
choose
to
live
in
a
college
dormitory,
you will have a better chance to live a
colorful and meaningful life. Meanwhile, you will
have to give
up many things as well.
②When you live
in a dormitory, you can meet many people with
different interests. And you can enjoy
the various services there. Both are
very important to make you successful at college.
But you may have
to give up much of
your personal space. You will share a room with
someone else. This means you need to
make peace with the things and people
around you.
③You will have to learn some important
life skills. For example, you will learn how to
get al
ong
with people. You
will also learn to ignore things that you can’t
change. But in the future, you will
find these skills very helpful when you
are working in the world.
④When
you
live
in
a
dormitory,
you
can
enjoy
a
wide
range
of
campus
services,
which
are
not
available
to those who live off campus. If you
have any school related problems, you have no
difficulty finding
someone to help,
because the school hires people to help the
students living there.
⑤Besides, living on campus means you
don’t have t
o travel to and from school
in rush hours. And
you are more
involved in campus life. For example, you can have
a better chance to take part in the club
activities and make you own
contributions. If you want to live a rich campus
life, living in a dormitory
is your
best choice.
