Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a worthwhile activity.

Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables picked at their best are superior to those vegetables purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can prove a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.

Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing(吸收人的) for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.

Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.

One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work in it at odd moments.

Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous(能渗透的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). A deep, fine, sandy good quality soil is best.

Usually the hoe owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.

1.Home-grown vegetables ___________.

2.Vegetables gardening is appealing for many people because ___________.

3.The author suggests that an ideal vegetable garden ___________.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

We've all been in a situation where we ask our friend to the restaurant for lunch and find ourselves waiting at a table alone. We look around the room, notice all the other customers dining with someone, and suddenly become insecure that we're alone. Instead of starting a conversation with someone, we rush to grab our phones and stare at the screen until we are finally rescued by our late friend.

Long gone are the days when we start a conversation with the person next to us while sitting on the subway during the morning or evening commute. However, small talk, as well as the willingness to engage in it, is very important.

When humans engage in small talk, it actually provides a feeling of happiness. Those who socially interact are likely to increase their happiness and health, while others who shy away from social interaction are reported to feel disappointed and unhealthy, according to the Huffington Post. And small talk not only keeps us feeling happy and healthy, but teaches us how to stay calm in situations that we might not normally find ourselves in. Instead of feeling anxious and nervous, starting a conversation with people you don't know helps calm the nerves and provides a feeling of inclusion. An unfamiliar event with people you don’t know suddenly becomes gratifying.

But perhaps the most important reason why everyone should learn to engage in small talk is that it teaches us how to listen and truly form relationships. By asking a stranger some questions and showing interest in them, it helps establish new relationships, whether they are personal or business-related.

You should learn how to connect with someone and identify with people you don't know. So next time you're alone in a public place, try to reach out to others and start a conversation. It’s really not that hard.

1.What does the writer intend to describe through Paragraph 1?

A.Anxiety of being alone. B.Impatience with waiting for friends.

C.Addiction to smart phones. D.Absence of communication between strangers.

2.How many benefits of small talk are mentioned in the passage?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

3.Which does the writer think most valuable for taking small talk?

A.Developing new relationships. B.Avoiding negative emotions.

C.Having more people to turn to. D.Learning some social skills.

4.Which word can replace the underlined one in Paragraph 4?

A.Typical. B.Peaceful. C.Enjoyable. D.Instructive.

5.Which might be the best title?

A.Let's Start Small Talk. B.How to Make Friends.

C.Drive Away Shyness. D.How to Start Small Talk.

“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.

Five of the world’s ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users’ interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.

That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by individuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked（泄露）or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.

Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.

The fossils of past actions fuel future economic and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.

1.The example of Zhima credit scores is mentioned to show __________.

A.data help companies target their services

B.credit scores change people’s way of life

C.Alibaba gains popularity among customers

D.people prefer to be offered discounts

2.What has caused a change in the public understanding of data collection?

A.The development of companies. B.The history of consumption.

C.Cases of data leak and theft. D.Lists of household names.

3.People don’t protect their data well mainly because __________.

A.they find it time-consuming and complex

B.they are not fully aware of its importance

C.they have no access to their personal data

D.they are afraid of taking responsibility

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To defend companies’ use of data.

B.To show the economic value of data.

C.To call for more regulations to protect data.

D.To advocate a new way of thinking about data.

There are many great movie directors of all time and the following are five of those who have largely impressed audience with their body of work.

As a member of the New Hollywood gang, Francis Coppola is best remembered for The Godfather series. His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The Godfather went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director's work.

Stanley Kubrick's movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics.

Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world's most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience and set the cash registers ringing.

Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience's sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original.

1.What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common?

A. They are interested in awards for their works.

B. They are members of the New Hollywood gang.

C. They have created a lot of movies taken as classics.

D. They focus their themes on the negative side of society.

2.Stanley Kubrick's works include the following except ________.

A. Midnight in Paris　　　　 B. 2001: A Space Odyssey

C. A Clockwork Orange　　　 D. Paths of Glory

3.It is implied in the underlined sentence that Steven Spielberg ________.

A.was successful in amusing the audience

B.succeeded in making a great box office

C.became much better at creating classics

D.had set a cash register working for himself

4.What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows this passage?

A. Their contribution to society.

B. The difference between the directors.

C. Another famous movie director.

D. More great movies of the directors.
