1、阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
At Manzo Elementary School in Tucson, Arizona, raising fish at school was one small answer to a big problem: many people in the neighborhood did not have enough food to eat.
The students could eat breakfast and lunch at school, but their families didn't always have enough money to provide dinner. Buying fresh foods, such as vegetables and meat, was difficult. Then the teachers had an idea: could the students raise food at school for the neighborhood?
The project wouldn't be easy to carry out. Tucson is in a desert, so water is a precious resource. Soil in the desert doesn't always have the nutrients plants need to grow, so the students would need to add a natural fertilizer(肥料).
Counselor(顾问)Moses Thompson read about aquaponics, a way of growing fish and plants together for food. Hundreds of years ago, the Aztecs built "floating farms" called chinampas on the lakes outside what is now Mexico City. Inspired by that, Moses helped the school set up a system in which fish waste fertilizes plants, and the plants' roots clean the water in the fish tank.
Fish aren't the only animals that help students feed their neighbors. Chickens lay eggs. Visiting pollinators help turn flowers into beans, tomatoes and so on. "Bees and butterflies come," says Santiago, aged 10.
When the students have raised enough food, it's time for Market Day. Vegetables are available for donation to people in the neighborhood. Students sell eggs and tilapia(罗非鱼)to raise money for seeds, fish food and chicken food.
"People don't have a lot of money, so it's a nice dream we have to give them food," says Emmanuel, aged
11. "It's an opportunity to be healthy and eat better."
"We can plant good food and have fun while we're doing something important," says Blanka, aged 10. "I'm so happy to be at this school."
(1)、What is the purpose of the project?A、To promote harmony between family and school. B、To provide part-time jobs for the students. C、To increase income of the school teachers. D、To feed poor people in the local neighborhood.(2)、What can we know about the system of aquaponics?A、It needs an added natural fertilizer to function. B、It suits a desert environment like Tucson best. C、It belongs to a sustainable farming method. D、It has long been used in the United States.(3)、What does the underlined word "pollinators" in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A、Some fishes. B、Some experts. C、Some technologies. D、Some insects.(4)、What can we learn about the project from the last three paragraphs?A、It receives a warm welcome. B、It helps earn much money. C、It needs to be more creative. D、It takes ages to see the results. -

13、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my childhood, under the influence of my elder brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them, whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is "fishing". About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of "hide-and-seek-game" that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my "prey(猎物)"only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching. But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure(鱼饵) that will attract fish.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150字左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient.
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish!
