Task 1 (10 points)

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or

unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked

A,B,C and D. You make the correct choice.

An American group developed the rooftop (屋顶) gardening in the early

group is known as ECHO. This idea was to help people living in cities who

have no land to grow vegetables. And now it is becoming increasingly popular in

many other countries.

To build a rooftop garden, four things are necessary. You need a roof strong

enough and four pieces of wood to build a box. Grass cutting in which to plant your

garden and a thin piece of plastic on which to put the cut grass are also necessary.

Begin by testing your roof to make sure it is strong enough. Cut and collect some

grass. Cover the roof with a thin piece of plastic. Then you build a box from the four

piece of wood. The box has no top or bottom. It should be about 8cm deep. It can be

as long and as wide as needed. Put the box on the plastic. Then fill in with the cut

grass. Water the grass and push it down by walking on it. After about three weeks, the

rooftop box is ready for planting.

Put the seeds directly into the wet grass. It is important that the grass is kept wet

until the plants begin to grow. When the plants are growing, you will need to water

them every day unless it rains. And birds must be prevented from eating the seeds or

new plants. They will also need some liquid fertilizer (液体化肥). You can make your

own liquid fertilizer if you can get waste from chickens. Put the chicken waste in a

cloth bag. Then put the bag in a big container (容器) of water. After about one week,

the water becomes a good liquid fertilizer.

The rooftop garden is a good place for peas, tomatoes and onions. Potatoes and

carrots will also grow if the box is deep enough.

23. The passage provides a way for people without land in ______.

A. growing rice B. planting grass

C. growing vegetables D. planting flowers

26. ______ is not necessary if you want to take care of the planted seeds.

A. To fill the box with the cut grass B. To water them every day

C. Some liquid fertilizer D. To prevent birds from eating
