[2019·青岛市质量检测] Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human-interest stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye.
When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.
The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.
The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“ Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”

- 1 -
C．They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store. D．They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them.
答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段的最后一句“While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.”可知，当这家面包房的员工们在等待周一上午的最终救援时，四人决定为他们的社区制作尽可能多的面包。故选A项。
2．Which of the following best explains “forlorn” underlined in the last paragraph?

答案与解析：D 考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.”可知，相反，我们应该采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助他人。由Instead可知，forlorn的语义与positive的意思相反，故forlorn与desperate (绝望的)意思相近。故选D项。

A．Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread. B．Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston.
C．The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers. D．The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters. 答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.”可知，他们利用应急电源烤面包。由此可推知，哈维飓风造成休斯敦停电。故选B项。
4．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in Houston B．Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big Disaster
C．All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston D．Bake Bread to Make a Difference in the Face of Hurricane Harvey

People living in these so-called “Blue Zones” have certain factors in common — social support networks, daily exercise habits and a plant-based diet for starters. But they share another unexpected commonality. In each community, people are gardening well into old age — their 80s, 90s and beyond.
Could nurturing your green thumb help you live to 100?
It is well-known that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activities is linked to longer life, and gardening is an easy way to accomplish both. “If you garden, you're getting some low-intensity physical activities most days, and you tend to work routinely，” says Buettner.
He says there is evidence that gardeners live longer and are less stressed. A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.
If gardening is good, is farming even better? Many of the lifestyle factors associated with longevity — such as living in the country and getting lots of exercise — apply to farmers as well.
Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations. However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a longer lifespan (寿命). But some of the lifestyle factors associated with both — namely going outside, engaging in light physical activities and eating a healthy plant-based diet — just might.
体裁：说明文 题材：介绍说明 主题：从事园艺有益于长寿
【语篇解读】 一项通过观察某些地区的长寿人群的研究发现，他们长寿的因素除了良好的人际关系和饮食等因素外，还有一个重要因素：从事园艺工作。本文对此展开了详细论述。
5．What do the long-lived people in the “Blue Zones” share? A．They all live well beyond 90. B．They keep on gardening. C．They only eat vegetables. D．They are very sociable.
答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。根据第二段的内容可知，生活在这些所谓的“蓝色区域”的人们也有一些共同因素：相互支持的人际关系网、日常锻炼的习惯和植物性饮食。但是他们还有一个让人意想不到的共同之处，那就是从事园艺一直到80多岁甚至到90多岁及以上。故选B项。
6．How does gardening possibly help live a longer life?
- 3 -
A．By getting people working outside occasionally. B．By getting people involved in creative projects. C．By providing some appropriate physical activities. D．By supporting effective social networks.
答案与解析：C 考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知，在户外从事适度的体力活动有助于长寿，而从事园艺正好既能获得低强度的体力活动，又能进行常规工作，所以有助于长寿。故选C项。
7．What does the author conclude in the last paragraph? A．Farming will get more popular.
B．Farming and gardening can ensure longevity.
C．There is no connection between longevity and occupation. D．Physical activities and healthy eating count.
答案与解析：D 考查推理判断。根据最后一段的内容可知，务农是最健康的职业之一，但是务农和从事园艺都不能保证让一个人长寿，而户外活动、轻松的体力活动和健康的植物性饮食很重要。故选D项。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Secrets of Longevity
B．Gardening Could Help You Live to 100 C．Gardening and Farming D．The Benefits of Gardening
答案与解析：B 考查主旨大意。本文主要介绍了从事适当的体力劳动，即在户外从事一些不太耗费体力的园艺对长寿有一定的好处。故选B项。
