Ⅰ.阅读理解

I have a neighbour we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.

Happy and her husband Ben，70，have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans，we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market，Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.

Last month，Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.

By 9:00 a．m.，there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes，beans，okra，and squash. By 10:00 a．m.，there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock，everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner，we played games. As we were leaving，Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(慷慨) of the day，already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!

Well，the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

1．According to Paragraph 2，people wished they also had a garden so that ________.

A．they could spend happy times together with their family in it

B．they could grow vegetables and sell at the market

C．they could invite their neighbours and hold parties in it

D．they didn’t have to spend so much money on food

2．For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbours to their garden?

A．To ask them to attend a birthday party.

B．To help them get to know each other.

C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.

D．To ask them to share some interesting stories.

3．What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?

A．He thought it was too short but enjoyable.

B．He thought it was wonderful.

C．He thought it was not as good as he had thought.

D．He thought it was too terrible.

4．We can infer that ________.

A．Happy and her husband Ben don’t like spending time with others

B．Happy and her husband Ben sometimes quarrel with each other

C．Happy and her husband Ben are a generous and warm-hearted couple

D．Happy and her husband Ben live on the food they grow in their garden

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者有一个邻居，大家都叫她Happy。邻居有一个花园，里面种植了很多瓜果蔬菜。上个月，Happy和丈夫Ben邀请邻居们去他们的花园里做客，并赠给他们许多花园里种植的东西。

1．D　细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans，we all wished we also had such a large garden.”可知，食物价格上涨太快，于是大家都希望能有一个像Happy家那样的大花园，来节约买食物的钱。故选D。

2．C　细节理解题。根据第四段的描述可知，他们主要是让邻居来分享他们在花园里种植的东西。故选C。

3．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认为在这个花园里度过的时光好极了。故选B。

4．C　推理判断题。根据第四段的描述和最后一段中的“The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company.None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben’s garden.”可知，作者的邻居待人非常慷慨、热心。他们邀请人们到家里做客，并且送给客人们很多自己种植的东西。故选C。
