Question

10．Indoor Plants
As with any house guests，indoor plants require a certain amount of basic，regular attention if they are going to feel at home．The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed．
     A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit，a position out of cold air，safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight．
     Plants love company．When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions．A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement．There is no secret to this．Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony．
     Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood，but，again，if you follow a few simple rules，your plants should do well．Cold water direct from the tap can have a frightening effect on the roots of delicate plants．Slightly warm water is therefore the answer．It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom．Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals-it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering．
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding．This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer（肥料） at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength．It is important，however，to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive，when the soil in the pot is dry，or too soon after the plants has been potted up．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇講述如何種植植物的文章，主要介紹了做到室內(nèi)控溫，植物一起種植的好處以及如何喂養(yǎng)等問(wèn)題．

解答 32．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中，A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time isto ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenhei，可知這段主要講述在室內(nèi)的植株要注意控制好適宜的溫度，給植物一個(gè)良好的室內(nèi)條件，故選D．
33．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中，When plants are growing together，they create an atmosphere of damp aroundthemselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions，可知植物在一起生長(zhǎng)有利于干熱的環(huán)境，說(shuō)明植物在一起生長(zhǎng)可以讓周圍的空氣變潮濕，故選B．
34．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中，Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer，說(shuō)明冷溫的水澆灌植物比較好，故選A．
35．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中，The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October，and during this time，the established ones will benefit from regular feeding，說(shuō)明在植物最活躍的期間定期的進(jìn)行喂養(yǎng)是最好的，故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
