In many parts of Africa, particularly in cities, fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to come by. However, that may be changing.‎ City gardens are beginning to provide healthy food and money for people in several African countries. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported last year that over half of all people in African cities are living in poor neighborhoods.‎ Senegal's capital, Dakar, is home to four million people. The city has several garden projects, including one at a hospital. It aims to improve the quality of food offered to the patients. A lot of patients benefit from it.‎ Now the Senegalese government and local groups are training people to grow crops on top of buildings and other empty spaces. They grow in containers made from old wooden boxes and car tires. The plants require little water. More than 5,000 families have been shown how to use this technology.[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]‎ A garden project in the South African city of Johannesburg targets people who have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. A balanced diet is important for people who have HIV. But finding healthy food at a good price can be difficult. Annah Mogoathe, a woman living there, digs potatoes out of the ground. She says the food she grows and eats from garden makes her stronger and healthier.‎ Lettie Ngubeni directs the Osizweni Community Center near Johannesburg. She says it often takes time to persuade people to see the value of growing vegetables.‎ ‎“It’s not our culture. And it was difficult at first when we started to change the mind-set (思维定势) of the people. You know in this place, the culture is that you buy things, instead of doing the gardens,”she said.‎ The Osizweni Community Center trains people how to plant and grow crops. They are taught water use management, and can ask questions. The program has already helped about 250 people. Another group has launched a roof-top garden project to help people move into Johannesburg.‎ 24. It's hard to persuade people in Johannesburg to grow vegetables because __________.‎ A. they have formed the habit of buying vegetables B. the culture there doesn't allow them to do this ‎ C. they don't know how to grow vegetables well D. vegetables don't grow well there ‎25.

Which of the following statements about Johannesburg is true?‎ A. There are a lot of people who have HIV. B. The price of healthy food there is high. C. It is not difficult for people to grow potatoes there. D. Most people there have become stronger and healthier.‎ ‎27. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Vegetables and health B. Live in Johannesburg C. Own your own vegetable garden D. How to grow vegetables in Africa C F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her. ‎ His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached(达到) such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”‎ This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, he continued with the novelThe Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.‎ However, Fitzgerald’ s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novelsTender Is the Nightin1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoonin 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.‎ 28. How many novels written by Fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?‎ A. 5 B. 6 C. 7 D. 8‎ ‎29. Which is the correct order about Fitzgerald’ s life according to the passage? ‎ a. He became addicted to drinking.‎ b. He studied at St. Paul Academy.‎ c. He published his first novel This Side of Paradise.‎ d. The Great Gatsby won high praise.‎ e. He failed to reorder his life.‎ f. He joined the army and met Zelda.‎ A. f-c-e-a-b-d B. b-e-a-f-c-d C. b-f-c-d-e-a D. f-d-e-c-b-a ‎30. We can infer from the passage that Fitzgerald _____.‎ A. was well educated and well off before he served in the army B. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down C. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama D. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital ‎31. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ______.‎ A. Zelda’ s personal life B. Zelda’ s illness and treatment C. Fitzgerald’ s friendship with Graham D. Fitzgerald’ s contributions to the literary world ‎ D ‎ In a new move, doctors are using feature films in order to encourage their patients to talk more freely about their problems. Supporters of "film therapy（电影疗法）" say that discussing characters and plot lines from a proper film can help people to understand their feelings better.‎ One of those using the method is Bernie Wooder, a doctor from Elstree, who charges ￡45 for a one-hour "film therapy" session. He said, "I was treating a woman who had been badly let down in a relationship, and who was experiencing such strong feelings that it was difficult for her to speak about them. I told her that her situation reminded me of On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando’s character realizes his brother is dishonest and he feels a great sense of betrayal. My patient identified so easily with him that she started to cry. Watching and discussing the film unlocked all the feelings she had buried. Each time she watched and cried, she felt better."‎ Mr Wooder admits that film therapy does not work for everyone, but says he has used it successfully with about a third of his clients. ‘Through the films characters, plots and even music, it allows people to face their problems.’He said that Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays the part of an unemployed man who is so frustrated (沮丧的) that he uses violence, was an example of the dangerous implications (后果) of not letting anger go. “I used this film with a patient who was very upset because he was holding on to a lot of the anger he felt towards people who had frustrated him, said Mr Wooder.” We talked about Michael Douglas’s character and the disastrous path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed to let go of his feelings more regularly so as not to erupt like a time bomb."‎ 32. What does the text mainly tell us?‎ A. Film stars have problems too. B. Films can help unlock feelings. C. Watching films can help you relax. D. The public should pay more attention to films.‎ ‎33. Why did the woman cry when she watched On the Waterfront?‎ A. She missed her brother. B. She was moved by the film. C. She realized she had been cheated. D. She thought of her sufferings.‎ ‎34. After discussing Falling Down with Mr. Wooder, the man decided to ______.‎ A. forget those who hurt him B. stop his acts of violence C. let go of his anger D. learn from Michael Douglas ‎35. What does the underlined word "clients" (in the last paragraph) refer to?‎ A. Patients. B. Film characters. C. Movie stars. D. Doctors.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ It's normal to wake briefly during the night．__36____ But if you're waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep，the following tips may help． Stay out of your head．The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep，so remain in bed in a relaxed position．Hard as it may be，try not to stress over the fact that you're awake，because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake．__37___  ___38___ If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep，try a relaxation technique such as visualization（想象），or deep breathing，which can be done without even getting out of bed．Remind yourself that although they're not a replacement for sleep，rest and relaxation still help refresh your body． ‎ ‎ Do a quiet，non-stimulating activity．If you've been awake for more than 15minutes，try getting out of bed and doing a quiet，non-stimulating activity，such as reading a book．Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it's time to wake up．___39___ A light snack might relax you，but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that of the day． ___40___ If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something，make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve．‎ A.
