Plants that are compatible（兼容的，能共处的） together generally have similar needs in terms of nutrients，soil and moisture levels.Advice about which plants are compatible is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But experts say there is evidence to support certain combinations. These can improve harvests，reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects.For example，some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen from the air and make it into a form that plants can use. The plants hold the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆科植物)are especially good at this nitrogen(氮)fixing. Then any crops that share the same space with the legumes can get the nitrogen when the roots are broken down.Beans and potatoes can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down in the soil，so they do not complete with plants with shallower roots.But some plants placed together may harm each others development. For example，tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does，so you would probably want to keep them separated.Some kinds of produce should be kept apart even after being harvested. This is because of ethylene gas(乙烯气体)Ethylene is a plant hormone(激素)that can cause some foods to ripen too quickly. Apples release ethylene gas. Apricots，melons and tomatoes also release a lot of ethylene. Some vegetables are easily affected by ethylene，including asparagus，broccoli，cabbage and cucumbers.This risk of ripening too soon is why markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana，the ethylene from the apple will make the banana ready to eat sooner.What about peaches，plums and nectarines? These kinds of fruit do not need any help from an applethey release enough ethylene to ripen themselves. But that does not mean there is no way to get the job done faster.Growers suggest placing the fruit in a fruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature，out of direct sunlight. Once the fruit is soft enough，either use it or put it in the refrigerator to keep it from getting too ripe.8. Companion planting refers to the idea that A. some crops can grow together to benefit each otherB. some crops have the similar needs of nutrients，soil and water levelC. some plants can damage each other if grown togetherD. a good farming method to prevent natural disasters9. According to the text， cannot grow together.A. beans and potatoesB. tomatoes and watercressC. legumes and cornsD. rice and sugarcane10. What is the function of ethylene?A. To improve the quality of fruits.B. To produce a poisonous gas.C. To keep vegetables fresh.D. To make fruits ripe earlier.11. The text is most likely to be taken from A. a newspaper of medicineB. a magazine of biologyC. a journal of agricultureD. a travel report【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C【解析】这篇文章主要介绍了一些农业知识，其中说明了哪些植物可以混栽，哪些植物不能一起种植以及有些植物可以挥发乙烯气体。【8题详解】细节理解题。由Companion planting is the idea that some kinds of plants can help each other grow. Plants that are compatible together generally have similar needs in terms of nutrients, soil and moisture levels.可知混栽植物指的是有些植物可以一起种植，彼此受益的观点，选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。由For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, so you would probably want to keep them separated.可知西红柿和西洋菜不能一起种植，选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。由Ethylene is a plant hormone（激素）that can cause some foods to ripen too quickly.可知乙烯气体的作用是让果实早点成熟，选D。【11题详解】推理判断题。这篇文章主要介绍了一些农业知识，所以这篇文章最可能出自农业杂志，选C。【名师点睛】细节理解题是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如：小题3由Ethylene is a plant hormone（激素）that can cause some foods to ripen too quickly.可知乙烯气体的作用是让果实早点成熟，选D。DA new study of 8，000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depressioneating or mood changesand if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.12. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.B.

Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.15. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disapproving.C. NeutralD. Scared.【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15.

Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.”可知，随着年龄的增长，恋爱和抑郁之间的联系会逐渐减弱，年龄越大，越不容易因恋爱而变得抑郁。小题4考查作者对早恋的态度，根据第一段“it is a bad thing for young people.
