Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
My name is Katie Mackenbrock, and I am from Chicago, Illinois. I am 18 and a freshman at the University of Arizona. I chose to attend a school so far from home because my dad went here when he was my age, and my older sister is currently a senior here.
The weather is so different here from that in Chicago. If I were in Chicago right now, I would
be freezing. Here in Tucson, the weather is so nice. It is always sunny with blue skies and the scenery is beautiful. From campus, you can look anywhere and see the beautiful mountains in the skyline.
I live in the only dorm here that has three students in a room. The rooms are a lot bigger than I thought they would be. One of my roommates is from New Jersey and the other one is all the way from South Korea. My roommate from New Jersey and I have become really good friends. Our other roommate is kind of mean to us, so there is always awkward tension in our room, which isn't too fun, but I am always so busy with my study that it doesn't matter too much.
I am taking 5 classes here —English, Spanish, and three general education classes. The general education classes are the big lecture classes. I am not too fond of them, because I come from a very small high school. For the most part, though, I love my classes. I am a political science major. I want to attend law school after I graduate and eventually work for the CIA.
As much as I miss my parents being this far from home, I love living here. It helps that I get to see my sister almost every day. I couldn't have chosen a better college for myself.

B
An Italian company has created the world's first underwater farm. The station named Nemo's Garden consists of five biospheres (生物圈) fixed to the bottom of the sea off the coast of Savona, Italy. They're being used to grow strawberries, beans, garlic, and lettuce.
“The main target of this project is to create other sources of plant production in areas where environmental conditions make it difficult to grow crops through traditional farming, including lack of fresh water, fertile soil, and extreme temperature changes，”said project spokesperson Luca Gamberini.
The five biospheres, currently floating between depths of 18 and 36 feet, are constantly watched by Ocean Reef Group —a diving equipment company —from a control center on dry land. According to various news reports, the plants are watered by drips (水滴) of water on the inner walls of the biospheres. With a constant temperature of 79 degrees day and night, and humidity at around 83 percent, the conditions are ideal for plants to grow well. The high amount of carbon dioxide also encourages growth.
Ocean Reef president Sergio Gamberini said he came up with the idea of growing plants underwater during a summer vacation in Italy. In his own words, he wanted to do something that's different and to show the beauty of the ocean. After two years of failed attempts, they finally were able to get these five biospheres working. Their success may lay the foundation for a new form of crop production that can be done without harming the environment.
In fact, the biosphere seems to be attracting wildlife. Octopuses and endangered seahorses are taking shelter under the structures, while crabs are climbing up the anchors (锚) and into the greenhouses. None of the creatures have damaged the plants so far.“It's so kind of science-fiction to see these two different forms of life interact，”Gamberini said.
语篇解读：本文为说明文，题材为科普环保类。

B．from science fiction
C．after reading a news report
D．after two years of failed attempts
解析：选A细节理解题。

由第四段“... he came up with the idea of growing plants underwater during a summer vacation in Italy”可知，Sergio Gamberini在意大利度假时偶然产生了在水下种植农作物的想法。

7．The last paragraph is written mainly to tell us that __________．
A．the plants in the biosphere is protected
B．the biosphere is environmentally friendly
C．the biosphere is accessible to sea creatures
