【答案】4.C5.B6.D7.C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍宾西法尼亚州巴特勒市顶峰小学的学生们通过种植

花园获取了更多的知识，并帮助了周边社区，他们对自己所做的感到骄傲。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段的“"Whenwegrewcabbagesmystudentsnoticedsomethingwas

eatingtheleaves/9Eythrecall."Thisledtoaninvestigationonfiguringoutwhatwaseatingitand

howtostopit:thekidsanalyzedtheevidencetheyfoundandactedasengineersincreatingways

意到有东西在吃卷心菜叶子。这导致了一项关于什么在吃它以及如何阻止它的调查：孩子们

分析了他们发现的证据，并作为工程师想出了防止昆虫进入卷心菜床的方法。“）”可推知，

该项目的目的是让学生通过种植学习更多的知识。故选C。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段的“Theprojectisnowtwoyearsold,andgoesbeyondplantingand

growing:Eythandherfelloweducatorsstructurelessonsinscience,mathandmorearoundtheir

garden.（这个项目现在已经有两年了，不仅仅是种植：Eyth和她的同事们在他们的花园周围

开设了科学、数学等课程）”可知，目前老师们把该项目和其他科目整合。故选B。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的"Thefundshelpthemlaunchanoutdoorclassroomandopena

farmstandatBroadStreetthatbringsfreshfruits,vegetables,herbsandmoretoanareaoftheir

communitywhereaffordablefreshproduceishardtofind（here.（这些资金帮助他们开办了一间

户外教室，并在布罗德街开设了一个农场摊位，将新鲜水果、蔬菜、草药等带到他们社区的

某个地区，因为那里很难找到负担得起的新鲜农产品）”可知，孩子们种出的农产品惠及周

边的社区。故选D。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“"Ourstudentsdiscoverthevalueofsharingtheirharvestwiththe

communitysurroundingnearbyBroadStreetElementarySchool.saysEyth."They'resoproudof

whatwe^edoinghere/XEyth说：“我们的学生发现了与附近布罗德街小学社区分享收获的

价值。他们为我们在这里所做的一切感到骄傲。"）”可知，让他们发现了收获的价值，并

为自己在那里所做的一些感到骄傲。由此推知，学生们认为这个项目是值得的。故选C。
