地下农场!冰岛的种菜奇思
地下农场!冰岛的种菜奇思


Iceland is a cold island. It doesn’t have much land for food. But it has clean power, clean water and warm heat under the ground.
People find new ways to grow food. One man has a farm under the ground. He grows sweet red strawberries there. Some workers use warm air from big computer rooms. They grow fresh green vegetables in small boxes. Near power stations (发电站), people grow small green plants in big bottles. They use cold outside air and clean power. 
People use these plants to make healthy food. These clever ideas help Iceland grow more food.

1.1. What is Iceland like?

A It is very hot.

B It is very cold.

C It is very big.

D It is very wet.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。原文第一段第一句明确提到 “Iceland (冰岛) is a cold island”,即冰岛是一个寒冷的岛屿,因此B项 “It is very cold” 正确。A“非常热”与原文cold相反;C“非常大”文中没有依据,原文只说“没有很多可耕种土地”,不能推出国家很大;D“非常潮湿”文中未提到。故选B。

2.2. What does the man grow under the ground?

A Sweet red strawberries.

B Fresh green vegetables.

C Small green plants.

D Big red apples.

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。原文第二段明确提到 “One man has a farm under the ground. He grows sweet red strawberries there”,即一个男人在地下有一个农场,在那里种甜红草莓,因此A项 “Sweet red strawberries” 正确。B“新鲜绿色蔬菜”是工人们利用电脑房暖空气在小盒子里种的;C“小绿色植物”是在发电站附近用大瓶子种的;D“大红苹果”文中未提到。故选A。

3.3. Where do the workers grow green vegetables?

A In big bottles.

B On high farms.

C In small boxes.

D In warm rooms.

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。原文第二段提到 “Some workers use warm air from big computer rooms. They grow fresh green vegetables in small boxes”,即工人们利用大电脑房里的暖空气,在小盒子里种新鲜绿色蔬菜,因此C项 “In small boxes” 正确。A“在大瓶子里”是种小绿色植物的地点;B“在高处农场”文中未提;D“在温暖的房间里”不准确,原文说的是利用电脑房的暖空气,种植地点是small boxes。故选C。

4.4. What does the text tell us?

A Cold weather on the island.

B Clean power in Iceland.

C Strong plants and tall trees.

D New ways to grow food.

解析:选D。D 主旨大意题。全文围绕冰岛人“寻找种食物的新方法”展开,第二段举了地下种草莓、利用电脑房暖空气种蔬菜、在发电站附近用大瓶子种植物等例子,第三段总结这些聪明想法帮助冰岛种更多食物,因此D项 “New ways to grow food” 正确。A“岛上的寒冷天气”只是第一段的部分内容;B“冰岛的清洁能源”是文中提到的条件之一,不能概括全文;C“强壮的植物和高大的树木”文中没有依据。故选D。
