Question

【題目】

Do you have a vegetable garden? Have you ever w【1】 a seed sprout and grow and fruit until it became the tomato on your plate? If you go to school in the US, there's a good chance you have.

At the moment, nearly 20 percent of schools in the US have vegetable gardens that are planted and cared for by students. Later, even more schools will have gardens and more US kids will know the p【2】of growing food in their school vegetable gardens.

Much of the growing interest in planting comes from First Lady Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” project. The First Lady wants to i【3】children's nutrition（營(yíng)養(yǎng)）in the US-and she began her project by planting a garden at the White House with the help of some local kids. The kids were more i【4】in eating vegetables from their garden than in eating fast food. This gave the First Lady an idea.

Because so many US kids eat breakfast and lunch at school，the food should be healthy and good. Why not let kids grow the food for their o【5】cafeterias（食堂）？Mrs. Obama's plan gives money to schools to start their gardens，and more school gardens are sprouting up every day.

Students also use the i【6】from their gardens to study science and math，and they paint pictures of their gardens in art class. Many students choose to work in the garden instead of playing on the playground during their noon b【7】. Sound like fun？Ask your teacher if there's room for a garden at your school，too.

本文介紹了美國(guó)百分之二十的學(xué)校有學(xué)生種植管理的菜園。孩子們更喜歡吃他們菜園的蔬菜。學(xué)生們也使用從菜園得到的知識(shí)來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)，他們?cè)诿佬g(shù)課上畫(huà)他們菜園的圖畫(huà)。

【1】句意：你曾經(jīng)觀看過(guò)一粒種子發(fā)芽，生長(zhǎng)，結(jié)果，一直到它成為你盤(pán)里的土豆嗎？

此處表示看著一粒種子的成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程，根據(jù)have此處用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，因此用過(guò)去分詞，故此處為watched。

【2】句意：后來(lái)，更多的學(xué)校將會(huì)有菜園，更多的美國(guó)孩子將知道在他們學(xué)校菜園種植食物的快樂(lè)。

根據(jù)Later, even more schools will have gardens可知，更多的學(xué)校將會(huì)有菜園，這樣孩子們可以體會(huì)到種菜的快樂(lè)，the+名詞+of表示“…….的……”，故此處為pleasure。

【3】句意：第一夫人想要改善美國(guó)孩子們的營(yíng)養(yǎng)，她在一些當(dāng)?shù)厝说膸椭�下，在白宮通過(guò)種菜園來(lái)開(kāi)始她的項(xiàng)目。。

根據(jù)句意，第一夫人想要改善孩子們的健康，根據(jù)want to do sth想要做某事，用動(dòng)詞原形，故此處為improve。

【4】句意：比起吃快餐，孩子們更喜歡吃他們菜園的蔬菜。

be interested in doing sth對(duì)做某事感興趣，故此處為interested。

【5】句意：為什么不讓孩子們?yōu)樗麄冏约旱氖程梅N植食物呢？

表示他們自己的食堂，修飾名詞cafeterias用形容詞，故此處為own。

【6】句意：學(xué)生們也使用來(lái)自他們菜園的信息來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)，他們?cè)诿佬g(shù)課上畫(huà)他們菜園的圖畫(huà)。

根據(jù)to study science and math可知，要學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)，應(yīng)是利用來(lái)自菜園的信息，故此處為information。

【7】句意：許多學(xué)生在中午休息期間，選擇在菜園里工作，而不是在操場(chǎng)上玩。

根據(jù)playing on the playground可知，學(xué)生在操場(chǎng)上玩，應(yīng)是在休息的時(shí)間，故此處為break。
