21、Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture.

Lowndes County Extension agent (代理人) Joshua Dawson, helped seventh-grade students attending J. L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.

Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, collards, carrots and kale. The harvested (收获的) produce is served by the schools’ dining rooms during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.

Helping Dawson with the gardens are members of the local Master Gardener program. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers more closely than I, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.

At the beginning, the students expressed worries about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh-grader Anthony, who said his favorite subject is science, wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.

Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J. L. Newbern Middle School, said this project has attracted many students. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they apply different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into work-related skills they can apply to jobs in the future,” she said.

【1】What is the purpose of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project?

A．To serve students healthy lunches with home-grown vegetables.

B．To share the latest agricultural information with local farmers.

C．To let students know more about gardening and farming.

D．To build new school gardens in Valdosta.

【2】How do the Master Gardeners support Dawson?

A．By introducing him to Dr. Elena Ponder.

B．By helping him take care of the gardens.

C．By training him in gardening.

D．By raising money for him.

【3】What was the students’ attitude to the project at first?

A．Doubtful.

B．Supportive.

C．Uninterested.

D．Hopeful.

【4】What did Dr. Elena Ponder say about the project?

A．It has changed public opinion on the agricultural industry.

B．It is beneficial to students’ future development.

C．It took up too much of students’ study time.

D．It needs more public attention

22、   Autumn is great for European walking: paths are mud-free, temperatures are mild, crowds are few and beautiful colors abound.The following are four European adventures to walk your way through autumn.

The unknown Cilento

South of Italy’s Amalfi Coast hides a much less discovered wonderland.After stopping to view the marvelous Greek temple remains at Paestum, Sherpa’s next destination concentrates on the Cilento National Park — first following its rugged seashore past the occasional myrtle grove (小树林), and sandy beach, then leaving modernity behind and venturing inland to medieval (中世纪的) hilltop towns.Home-cooked dinners conclude exciting days of goat tracks and ghost villages before a scenic path leads back to the seaside.Four nights £630 half board, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 31.

Turkish delights

Follow an impressive section of Turkey’s expansive Lycian Way, gradually moving from cliffs to coastline.You’ll begin in pine-filled peaks, typically on shaded paths to sea views, and stop at both a pool-boasting upscale hotel and one of the Yanartas region’s ever-burning flames — possibly fueled by a monster below.A fine fish restaurant comes next, then a mile-long sandy beach ahead of two days on lonely Cape Gelidonya, finishing by its lighthouse.Six nights £790, including ten other meals, transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure in early November.

Carpathian clambers

Poland and Slovakia are separated by the Carpathian Mountains and their large forest-filled valleys.Starting and ending in Krakow, this trip covers both countries.Some days include the option of climbing to snowy peaks or taking easier, lower-altitude options, and you’ll likely meet the Gorals — a culturally-distinct group known as “highlanders”.Most memorable activity will be walking along the 300m-high Dunajec River to spa town Szczawnica.Seven nights £630, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 24.

Flowers and feta

Greece’s Pelion Peninsula is a place known as the “Land of the Centaurs (人首马身的怪物)” for its association with the mythological horse-human hybrids.Between villages of whitewashed, flower-decorated stone houses, walkers can follow old paths onto mountainsides, and wander through olive groves or beside the glittering Aegean Sea.Some days yield swimming opportunities, and others the chance to recharge in a local pub of some bean soup and feta-cheese bread.Seven nights £535, including transport, luggage transfers and walking notes.Last departure October 23.

【1】What can you do when you are in the unknown Cilento?

A.Swim in a pool. B.Have a spa.

C.Explore medieval towns. D.Walk through olive groves.

【2】Which destination is your best choice if you intend to travel to Europe after October?

A.Turkey. B.Cilento. C.Greece D.Krakow.

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.It is a monster that fuels the fire in Yanartas region.

B.Meals are free when you are taking the first adventure.

C.You can enjoy a spa from Gorals in the town Szczawnica.

D.Bean soup can be served in the pub of Greece’s Pelion Peninsula.

23、With the cost of living on the rise, it’s become more important than ever to watch what we spend. If you use natural gas in your home, the bill can be quite high. Don’t worry, though! 【1】 . You won’t have to pay huge fuel bills.

Try to reduce energy use

The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the less energy will be used. If your thermostat(调节器)is set to a high temperature， your gas bill is bound to be expensive. Lowering your thermostat a few degrees will reduce your bill by 5-10%. 【2】. Don’t keep the heat on when you’re at work or gone on the weekends. The energy saved will reduce the cost of your gas bill.

【3】

Warm air escapes our homes easily, so adding draught excluders(密封条)or a rolled-up towel to block these leaks will help. It’s also a good idea to equip your houses with double-glass windows. If it is too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping. In addition, keep your blinds open during the day and closed at night. During the day, keep your blinds or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up.【4】.

Do regular maintenance(维修)

Each year, you should service any gas appliance you have, such as a stove or a heater. You should also get your air pipes sealed by a professional.【5】. Proper maintenance work can prevent breakdowns in addition to lowering your gas bill.

A．Make changes around your home

B．Stop the flow of cold out of your houses

C．Also, turn off the heat when it is not necessary

D．When the sun sets, close all of them to keep the warm air in

E．There are several tips to make your home more energy-saving

F．That is why we are looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint

G．Otherwise, warm air may escape through holes or breaks around them

24、At the first exhibition of Henri Rousseau’s paintings in 1886, the public laughed out loud, and critics made fun of his original, unschooled style, one writing "Monsieur Rousseau paints with his feet, and his eyes covered.”

Despite heavy criticism throughout his life, Rousseau kept painting, confident in his gift. He never received formal training in the arts because his family was too poor. For more than twenty years, he worked at the Paris customs office. It wasn’t until the age of 40 that he took up the brush, teaching himself to paint by copying works at the Louvre and studying nature. “Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.” he said.

Though his best-known paintings are of jungle scenes with monkeys, lions, and small woods, Rousseau never left France or saw a jungle. To paint foreign plants and animals, he relied on books, botanical gardens(植物园) in Paris,and his imagination. "When I go into the glasshouse and I see the strange plants of faraway lands,” he once said, "it seems to me that I enter into a dream.”

Rousseau claimed to have invented a new style of painting called the landscape-portrait, in which he paints a background view and then adds a person in the foreground later, as he did in Myself: Portrait-Landscape (1890).

Called a naive (天真) artist due to his childlike, untrained style, Rousseau painted colors one at a time, starting from the top and working his way down. While critics described his works as flat and inexact descriptions of nature, he earned the respect of artists like Pablo Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky, who thought Rousseau was onto something new.

Though his work was never accepted by the art world in his time, Rousseau’s paintings hang in museums around the world today. And Rousseau’s original approach to art has inspired countless artists to follow their own unique views.

【1】Why did Rousseau have no formal training in arts?

A．Because he preferred painting in his own way.

B．Because he was afraid of being criticized by others.

C．Because his family couldn’t afford the training.

D．Because there were more to be found in nature.

【2】What can we learn about Rousseau?

A．He was unwilling to develop a personal style.

B．He moved to a jungle to study nature.

C．He came from an artistic family.

D．He was indeed a self-taught painter.

【3】What is Rousseau' s art like?

A．It is black-and-white.

B．It is simple and original.

C．It presents social reality.

D．It employs persons in the background.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．Rousseau ’s works have now been recognized.

B．Rousseau earned a good reputation in his time.

C．Rousseau encouraged young artists to follow his footsteps.

D．Rousseau’s paintings have hardly ever been shown in museums.
