People living more than three thousand meters above a level find it difficult

题文

People living more than three thousand meters above a level find it difficult to rai vegetables all year long. People living in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia, for example, cannot grow vegetables outdoors during the months of May through September. It is very cold in the highlands at that time of year. If traditional farming methods are ud, vegetables will not survive.However, there is another way to grow vegetables throughout the year in cold areas. It is a method of gardening developed by a private agency called World Neighbors. The method us “hot hous” built below ground. A hot hou is a building covered with plastic or glass in which vegetables or flowers are grown. The traditional hot hou is built above ground.The air temperature is cold in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia during the winter. But, the winter sun is hot. So, World Neighbors advis farmers there to build hot hous below ground. The design is simple. The material does not cost much. Here is how World Neighbors says to build it: Dig a hole two and one-half meters wide and six meters long. Make it about two meters deep. Build wall with a door in one end of the hole. Dig steps from the ground down to the door.Now, build a wall along the top edge of the hole. Make it about one-half meters tall. Earth bricks work fine. Build two shorter walls on the ends. The will be uneven; one side will be as high as the existing wall. The other side will be at ground level. Leave a small opening in each of the sloping walls. This prevents the hot hou from becoming too hot. Now, make the roof. Build a wood frame. Cover it with clear plastic. Connect it to the brick walls.The underground hot hou we have described is large enough for two raid vegetable beds. Each is one meter wide and six meters long. Each is eded and watered just as if it were in a garden above ground.The dirt walls protect the growing plants from the cold. The clear plastic roof permits the sun’s heat to enter. At night, the roof should be covered with straw. This helps prevent cold air from entering. An under ground hot hou this size will provide enough vegetables for one family. Groups needing more vegetables can make it bigger.66. If you lived in Peru, you _______.A. should rai the special kinds of vegetables that can endure coldB. could not plant at allC. had to work out some new unusual plansD. would not have many vegetables to eat67. To our surpri, the “hot hous” invented by World Neighbors are _______.A. covered with a transparent plastic ceilingB. built under groundC. quite smallD. hotter than traditional ones68. The hot hou can be kept warm by using _______.A. a big oven  B. an electricity heaterC. the heat of the earth’s interior   D. the sun shine69. The measure to prevent the hot hou from becoming too hot is to _______.A. make the roof sloped B. dig holes on the wallsC. make the wall not vertical D. make the walls shorter than the ground level70. According to the passage, the method suggested by World Neighbors is _______.A. new and difficult  B. uneasy to explainC. at trial step D. simple and practical 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“People living more t.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
