farmers in rural areas to grow fruits and vegetables.But now many people are planting crops in urban areas.Sean Conroe is a college student.Amber Banks is a teacher.They both grew up farming and gardening.Sean Conroe and Amber Banks wanted to start a farm in the middle of Seattle，Washington.“There are a lot of neighborhoods that dont have access to healthy，fresh produce.And if they do，it can be very expensive.So we see unused space as a great place to grow food that will make it more accessible to people.”Amber Banks said.Sean Conroe created a website to get volunteers and donations.Within a week，they were offered a piece of land between two houses.He says twenty volunteers worked for six weekends to turn the grassy land into a farm.They call their project Alleycat Acres.The Alleycat Acres has got about ninety kilograms of produce so far.They have donated most of it to local food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.One of the goals of the urban farm is to show city people the joy of growing food.The Alleycat Acres invites school groups to the farm to help out.And Amber Banks says they want the same people who get food donations to learn how to work the soil.The Alleycat Acres is expanding to other empty areas of Washington.So are a lot of other urban farming groups.Seattle has announced 2010 “The Year of Urban Agriculture”But the growth of these farms is limited.That is because Seattle，like a lot of other cities，has restrictions on urban farms.The City Council is now considering changing those laws.26The second paragraph mainly tells us_.Ahow

Amber get along with their project?AThey have a lot of difficulties in growing.BThey have no enough hands to help them.CThey carry out the project successfully.DThey get a lot of support from the government.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三、四段内容可知，从志愿者招募，到种植、收获，以及都市农场的扩张都安排得井井有条。由此可以看出，都市务农活动进展得很顺利。【答案】C28What can we know about Sean and Amber?AThey are kindhearted.BThey are in the same college.CThey grow food only for their neighbors.DThey earned a lot of money through the project.【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They have donated most of it to local food banks that feed hungry people in Seattle.”可以看出，他们都拥有仁爱之心。【答案】A29The underlined word “restrictions”in the last paragraph refers to _.Anew plans Bsome rulesCnice articles Dgreat encouragement【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段的叙述“That is because Seattle，like a lot of other cities，has restrictions on urban farms.The City Council is now considering changing those laws.”可猜出，“those laws”指的就是上文提到的“restrictions”。【答案】B30We can infer from the passage that _.Aits easy to grow food in the cityBcity people dislike the city farmCthe farm will have a good harvest next yearDurban farms may grow faster in the future【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，城市正考虑修改限制都市农业发展的法律，所以都市农场将来可能发展得更快。【答案】DBThis is a great idea：a young designer has invented a folding bicycle that will stop thieves in their tracks.Kevin Scott,21，designed a bike that wraps around a lamp post so it can be locked safelywithout the need for a lock.The De Montfort University graduate used a ratchet (棘轮)system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a post，making the lock wrapped through both wheels and the frame.Securing all the bikes parts within the lock was his aim in creating the new bike.It also allows the bike to be stored in small spaces.The frame can be ratcheted tight to allow the bike to be ridden like a normal bike，but it can be quickly loosened to allow the frame to be bent back on itself when the bike is parked.As such，finding a spot to lock it up on Londons busy streets is a cinch you simply wrap it around the nearest lamp post.The design won Mr Scott a runnerup award at the Business Design Centre New Designer of the Year Award and 500.Mr Scotts creation is on show at the present time at the New Designers show at the Business Design Centre in Islington，north London.He is hoping that his unusual cycle will catch the eye of a bike loving backer who will help him to develop it further.More than 52 bikes are stolen in London every day，according to official figures.A total of 23,748 bikes were reported stolen in London in 200910but the policemen believe that the true figure could be double that.Some policemen suggest that users should lock their bikes to a safe object through the frame.31Kevin Scott invented the folding bicycle in order to_.Amake a lot of money from itBkeep bicycles from being stolenCgraduate from the De Montfort UniversityDfind a way to catch the thieves in the tracks【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.a young designer has invented a folding bicycle that will stop thieves in their tracks.designed a bike that wraps around a lamp post so it can be locked safely.”可知，设计者发明这种自行车的目的是为了防盗。【答案】B32Why can this kind of bike be folded?ABecause it has a special lock.BBecause it is made of soft metal.CBecause it can be taken apart easily.DBecause it has a ratchet system in its frame. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The De Montfort University graduate used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a post，making the lock wrapped through both wheels and the frame.”可知答案。【答案】D33When you ride the folding bike，you _.Acan only wrap it around a poleBcant ride it like a normal bikeCneednt find large room to store itDshould carry the parts of the bike with you 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It also allows the bike to be stored in small spaces.”可知，该车停放时占据的空间很小，所以不需要太大的空间来储存它。【答案】C34The underlined word “cinch”in the second paragraph means_.Aan exciting thing Ba difficult thingCa funny thing Dan easy thing【解析】词义推测题。根据下文内容“you simply wrap it around the nearest lamp post”可知，在伦敦的大街上找个地方锁这种车是件“容易的事情”。【答案】D35From the text，we can infer that _.Athe more locks a bike has，the safer it will beBthe policemen didnt give correct official figuresCthis new kind of bike will certainy become popularDits bad to lock bikes to a solid object through the frames【解析】推理判断题。文章中提到在伦敦经常有自行车被盗，而这种新式的自行车防盗性能很好，据此我们可以推断，这种自行车一定受到欢迎的。【答案】CCSleeping sickness is a deadly disease that infects about sixty thousand people in Africa each year.Now scientists in Scotland say they may have found a new treatment.Sleeping sickness is spread by the bite of a kind of fly which can carry a parasite that infects the central nervous system of humans.First the infection causes fever，headaches，itchy skin and weakness.Then，when the parasite enters the brain，it causes more serious problems.People suffer seizures (癫痫)and thinking problems，and they sleep for longer periods.If the disease is not treated in time，it will kill the patient.Paul Wyatt at the Drug Discovery for Tropical Diseases program at the University of Dundee led a study.He says the research found a weakness in the parasite.The weakness is an enzyme(酶)called Nmyristoyl transferase，or NMT，which the parasite needs to survive.The researchers developed a mixture of chemicals that prevent the performance of the enzyme.They put it in a test glass containing the parasites.As a result，the parasites stopped reproducing.The researchers also tested the treatment on lab mice with sleeping sickness.They gave them the chemicals by mouth and found the infection disappeared.Now，Paul Wyatt says a drug based on the research could be ready for testing in humans within eighteen months.At present，medicine for sleeping sickness requires a series of injections that are costly and painful and hospital stays are also needed.Even worse the side effects of the treatment can be serious，sometimes even causing death.Paul Wyatt says a less costly，easytouse medicine for sleeping sickness is badly needed.“In areas where sleeping sickness is still very prevalent，such as poor areas in some central African countries where about half population catch it，it will be also important to have simpler treatment and mouth treatment would be the best.And this is what we are working for.”36According to the passage，Nmyristoyl transferase is an enzyme that_.Adamages the central nervous system of humansBhelps the sleeping sickness parasite to liveCcan stop the sleeping sickness parasite growingDmakes the sleeping sickness parasite grow faster【解析】细节理解题。由第三段“The weakness is an enzyme called Nmyristoyl transferase，or NMT，which the parasite needs to survive.”可知，这种酶是昏睡病寄生虫生存所需要的。【答案】B37At present the treatment for sleeping sickness will _.Anot cost the patient too much moneyBrequire the patient to stay in hospitalCnot bring side effects to the patientDtake the patient eighteen months to recover【解析】细节理解题。由第五段内容可知，目前昏睡病的治疗需要花很多的钱，需要肌肉注射，让病人很痛苦，并且要求病人住院治疗，而且副作用很大，有时会致人死亡，故可知答案。【答案】B38We can infer that the drug the researchers are working on _.Awill be taken through mouthBwill have a much higher priceCwill remove sleeping sickness quicklyDwill be sold only in African countries【解析】推理判断题。由第六段“.it will be also important to have simpler treatment and mouth treatment would be the best.And this is what we are working for.”可知，他们正在努力研究一种口服的、价格便宜的治疗昏睡病的药物，故可知答案。【答案】A39What does the underlined word“prevalent”mean in the sixth paragraph?AUnbelievable. BStrange.CCommon. DUnclear.【解析】词义猜测题。由画线词后的“such as poor areas in some central African countries where about half population catch it.”可知，感染昏睡病的人很多，因此这种病是很常见的，故推测出画线词词义为“常见的”。【答案】C40What is the passage mainly about?AThe most deadly disease in Africa.BThe present treatment for sleeping sickness.CThe harm sleeping sickness does to people.DThe possible new treatment for sleeping sickness.【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是现在专家们正在研究一种新型的药物，有望能更便宜、更方便、更有效地治疗昏睡病。【答案】DDTo those born and growing up in the countryside，the sound of cocks is part of everyday life，but not to citizens with their second homes in the countryside.Newcomers to the village of Burnham Market，in Norfolk near the seasidewhich is nicknamed ChelseaonSeafor the number of wealthy Londoners with homes in ithave complained that cocks near their homes are causing sleepless nights，adding that they came here to look for peace and quiet.After one threatened legal action that they would move to other places unless the birds are removed，councilors are considering meeting their demands，while angry locals have protected the tradition，arguing that the cock is an intrinsic part of life in the village.Retired soldier Raymond Salmon,86，who has lived there for more than 40 years，said that locals have kept poultry for many years and many visitors came to catch a sight of them.“The countryside is for those who really understand and love country life.However it has been gradually taken over by the rich who are proud，selfish and foolish，”he said.Another local said，“People in cities dont mind noise from traffic and trains，but as soon as they come here and find something different they think its unbearable.But in fact theyre the ones who are unbearable.”To support themselves，the locals have turned to the 1950 Allotment Act，which states it is lawful to keep hens and rabbits on open land unless they are harmful to health or cause troublebut cocks are not mentioned.This omission means the newcomers could ask the local council to take action.Bonway Johnson，a newcomer，said，“It is not lawful.This was made clear to the council in January，but it hasnt taken any measures so a lot of disagreements have been caused in the village.”Now the local council is asking for possible advice on the matter from the public.41The village of Burnham Market gets its nickname ChelseaonSea because_.Athere are many cocks being raised thereBmany rich people have their second homes thereCit is a place which lies nearby the seasideDit is a real peaceful place for people to relax【解析】细节理解题。由第一段“.which is nicknamedChelseaonSeafor the number of wealthy Londoners with homes in it.”可知，这个名字源自于很多新到那居住的富有的伦敦人。【答案】B42What makes the councilors consider removing cocks in Burnham Market?AThat they are afraid of the newcomers moving away.BThat they are tired of the loud cock noise every morning.CThat the cocks have caused too much environment pollution.DThat the newcomers will organize legal actions against
