A.letstudentseathealthyfoodB.improveschools’environmentC.reducestudents’stressfromstudyD.makestudents’freetimecolorful【解析】選A。細節理解題。根據題干中的關鍵詞aimsto定位到第二段。根據文中第二段Thepurposeoftheprogramistogetschoolstocreategardens,allowingstudentstogrowtheirownfruitsandvegetablesfortheirlunch.可知,該活動的目的在于讓孩子種植新鮮的蔬菜、水果,以便自己食用。2.AccordingtoWaters’wordsaboutMichelleObama,weknow______.

A.runningagardenwasexcitingB.WatersgotonwellwiththeFirstLadyC.MichelleObamahadahealthybodyD.WatersthoughthighlyofMichelleObama【解析】選D。推理判斷題。根據題干中的關鍵詞Waters’wordsaboutMichelleObama定位到第五段。根據文中第五段...Waterssaid,praisingMichelleObama’sdedicationtoyoungpeople’shealth.可知,Waters對MichelleObama的評價很高。故選D項。3.ThroughtheEdibleSchoolyardProject,students______.

A.canfindjobsonfarmingB.startarestaurantbusinessC.learnbenefitsofhealthyfoodD.knowhowtoplantdifferentfoods【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據文中倒數第二段ThroughtheEdibleSchoolyardProject,studentsalsolearnaboutthebenefitsofhealthyeatingintheclassroom.可知,該項目有助于學生了解健康飲食的益處。誤解分析:本題易誤選B。根據文中第六段最后一句可知,該項目幫助學生了解健康食物的益處,還讓學生了解了農業、食物安全以及餐飲行業,而不是讓學生開辦餐廳。4.What’sthebesttitleforthepassage?A.StudentsshouldeathealthilyB.P.S.216isafamousschoolC.ProcessedfoodsshouldbeavoidedD.Achefhelpscreategreenschoolyards【解析】選D。標題歸納題。本文主要講述廚師AliceWaters創辦的一個旨在鼓勵學校種植水果、蔬菜來幫助學生吃上健康食物的項目。故選D項。A項指“學生應該健康飲食”,涉及面太廣,與文章主題不符;文中并未提到P.S.216學校是一所名校,故排除B項;文中第一段雖然提到processedfood.但是并非本文主要探討的對象,故排除C項。Ⅱ.完形填空TodayI’mamemberoftheUNGlobalEducationFirstInitiativeYouthAdvocacyGroup.Itall1whenIwasinsecondaryschool.IjoinedaUNESCOclub,a(n)2thatbringsstudentstogethertodiscussschoolmattersandthepressingthings3them.
