Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard: For her first garden, Ms Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, "The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win-win situation all around."
They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy, have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Texas, some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.
George C. Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.
21. What does the word "residents" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. gardens B. tomatoes C. chickens D. people
22. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular
A. The cost of living is on the rise. B. The price of oil is lower than before.
C. There's a growing need for fruits. D. More Americans are doing it for fun.
23. Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A Family Food Planning B. Gardening as a Hobby
C. Money-saving Moves D. Banking on Gardening
B
With the world's attention on vaccines, now it feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contributor to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated（接种）against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu's willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around'80 years later would never have taken place.
Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus（脓）from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people's wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection.
Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors' professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Some people also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.
Back in England, Montagu observed smallpox infections became increasingly severe. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.
Doctors in' Britain gradually accepted the practice. About 80 years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The origin of smallpox inoculation. B. Turkish women's invention of inoculation.
C. The benefits from smallpox inoculation. D. Montagu's first access to inoculation.
25. Why did Montagu know it was hard to try inoculation in England
A. Because it might harm doctors' interests. B. Because deep down it was against nature.
C. Because it was a foreign practice. D. Because it might cost valuable money.
26. What could have led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation
A. The severe situation in smallpox infections. B. The result of Montagu's daughter's inoculation.
C. A physician's discovery of smallpox vaccines. D. Montagu's focus on its rewards rather than its risks
27. Which of the following can be used to describe Montagu
A. a fearless scientist B. a brilliant inventor C. a devoted explorer D. an unsung hero
C
Skyscrapers are the symbol' of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don't change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in. environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way. of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and: to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
28. What primary problem could vertical farming settle
A. Poor state of rural life B. Shortage of food supply.
C. High costs for transporting crops. D. Environmental pollution.
29. What is the advantage of vertical farming
A. It can benefit transport industry. B. It requires little care
C. It can produce organic food D. It needs very low cost.
30. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality
A. Farmable land. B. Light sources. C. Crop diseases. D. Climate conditions.
31. What can be the best title of the text
A. Future Food Needs B. Symbol of Urban Life C. Farms of the Future D. Farming on Rooftops
D
Dogs wag their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and. thinking of moving back， a study has found.
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli（刺激物）with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity. again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of puter and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
32. Why does the wooden box have an opening at the front
A. To enable dogs to see stimuli B. To place dogs one at a time.
C. To catch dogs' responses D. To provide a view for cameras
33. What probably caused dogs to wag to the left
A. Their enthusiasm. B. Their loneliness. C. Their threat D. Their interest.
34. What does the underlined word "they" refer to
