The Kids’ Farm

While kids visit vegetable plots and animal contact areas, they will learn that most of the food we eat every day comes from farms, and that taking care of animals takes time, commitment and knowledge.

Kids can see our cows, donkeys, goats, alpacas, etc. and learn all about looking after farm animals. At the Caring Corral, they will have a chance to touch cows and donkeys, under staff members’ supervision.

Please Note:

●Any time you touch an animal, there is a risk of spreading germs (细菌). Visitors to the Kids’ Farm should wash their hands after touching the animals.

●The Caring Corral is open only when the staff are available; hours are limited.

●The Kids’ Farm uses pizza to teach kids how many kinds of food grow. Hands-on exhibits show how pizza ingredients go from the farm to the pizza. The Pizza Garden has slice-shaped plots of growing ingredients, including tomatoes, wheat and herbs.

●The 22-foot-wide Giant Pizza gives kids a place to play with oversized toppings and each other.

●During the busier season (beginning in June), a free shuttle picks up visitors in need of a lift at the Kids’ Farm and drops them off at the Panda Plaza/the Bus Lot from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.

Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩)once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.

But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.

4.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?

A.Its business culture.

B.Its small population.

C.Its geographical position.

D.Its favourable climate.

5.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?

A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.

B.One out of five people got rich.

C.Almost everyone gave up.

D.Half of them died.

6.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?

A.They found the city too crowded.

B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.

C.They were unable to stand the winter.

D.They were short of food.

7.What is the text mainly about?

A.The rise and fall of a city.

B.The gold rush in Canada.

C.Journeys into the wilderness.

D.Tourism in Dawson.

答案：

Ⅰ.1.were destroyed　2.the　3.in　4.revival　5.trapped　6.efforts　7.were sent　8.survivors　9.struck　10.missing

Ⅱ.1.were set up　2.a length of　3.less than　4.in shock　5.are expected to　6.cuts across　7.as usual　8.in times of　9.were blown away　10.at least

Ⅲ.1.Faced with; too nervous to say a single word　2.It seemed as if; coming to an end　3.at the edge of; nothing but　4.as hard as they could; who were trapped　5.occurred/happened; causing five passengers to be killed

Ⅳ.1.B　句意: 他和他的兄弟们还没有意识到形势的严重性。由句意可知, 此处应用现在完成时表示所发生的事情对现在造成的影响。当 A along with B 结构做主语出现在句首时, 谓语动词单复数形式应该与A保持一致。故选B项。

2.D　句意: ——今天我没有胃口吃东西。——怎么了?我想你该去看医生。Why not? “为什么不呢?”; So what? “那又怎么样呢?”; What for? “为什么?”; How come? “怎么回事?”。

3.C　句意: 他不容易妥协, 但是他愿意接受任何建设性的建议。approach “靠近, 接近”; wrestle “摔跤, 斗争, 努力解决”; compromise “妥协, 和解, 让步”; communicate “交流”。根据句意可知, C项正确。

4.A　句意: 随着布莱克老师的出现, 教室里的喊叫声突然停了下来, 因为他总是喜欢安静。appearance “出现, 来到”; movement “动作, 运动”; advance “前进”; departure “离开”。

5.A　句意: 接近真理的方式是多种多样的, 而真理本身却是独一无二的。approach “靠近, 接近”; attempt “尝试”; access “进入, 使用”; appreciate “欣赏, 感激”。由于宾语是the truth, 所以第一个空要用approaching表示 “接近”。第二个空用unique表示 “独一无二的”。

6.C　句意: 我们这个行业能将农民们原本会当作废物的东西利用起来。also “也”; though “虽然”; otherwise “否则”; therefore “因此”。

7.B　句意: 他把所有省出的时间都专注于写小说了。 　　　he could spare 是定语从句修饰the time。that做spare的宾语, 也可省略, 关键是第二个空要用to writing, 构成devote... to... 搭配, 其中to为介词。 

8.A　句意: 由于他在一个遥远的地方工作, 他只能偶尔去看他的父母。occasionally “偶尔地”; anxiously “焦虑地”; practically “实际地”; urgently “紧急地”。

9.B　句意: 你已搜集了信息, 可以着手准备你的经营计划了。此处要用set about doing sth表示 “着手做某事”。set out “开始”, 后面接动词不定式; set off “动身”; set up “建立”。

10.C　句意: 这是一本有趣的书, 不管花多少钱我都要买下它。no matter how much意为 “不管多少钱”。

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了孩子们在参观Kids’ Farm时会有什么收获以及参观时的注意事项。

1.C　细节理解题。由Please Note中的 “The Caring Corral is open only when the staff are available; hours are limited.” 可知, 只有当工作人员在场时, Caring Corral才开放且时间是有限制的。所以访客在参观Caring Corral前需要核对一下它的营业时间。故C项正确。

2.D　细节理解题。由Please Note中的 “The 22-foot-wide Giant Pizza gives kids a place to play with oversized toppings and each other.” 可知, 这个22英尺宽的Giant Pizza给孩子们提供了一个场所, 在那里孩子们可以玩超级大的比萨饼装饰配料和一起玩耍。所以孩子们可以在Giant Pizza玩超级大的比萨装饰配料, 一起玩耍。故D项正确。

3.A　推理判断题。通过读全文可知, 本文主要介绍了孩子们在参观Kids’ Farm时, 可以从中学到什么以及参观时的注意事项。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是提供参观Kids’ Farm的相关信息。故A项正确。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。城市自有它形成的原因。本文主要介绍加拿大城市Dawson(道森), 它昔日因为金矿而迅速兴起, 现在则只能以旅游业作为主产业。

4.C　细节理解题。由第一段第二、三句 “People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.” 可知, 像纽约市这样的城市往往占据重要的地理位置, 交通、通信和贸易方便, 由此推知答案为C项。

5.B　推理判断题。由第二段末的 “Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich.” 可知, 最早来淘金的20 000人里, 有4 000人依靠挖掘黄金致富, 占总人数的1/5。故选B项。

6.B　细节理解题。由最后一段中的 “But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded...when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.” 可知, 金矿被开采殆尽, 特别是当得知阿拉斯加发现新的金矿后, 人们已经没有兴趣继续留在这里。据此得出导致很多人离开Dawson的主要原因是要到别处寻找新的金矿。故选B项。

7.A　主旨大意题。A项 “一座城市的兴衰”; B项 “加拿大淘金热”; C项 “荒野之旅”; D项 “道森的旅游业”。文中主要介绍加拿大城市Dawson(道森)因为金矿而崛起, 又因为金矿被开采殆尽而衰落, 经济只能依靠旅游业支撑, 所以A项能准确概括文章内容。
