14.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 60degrees 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(间隔)----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.
28.In Paragraph 2,the author mainly tells us toD.
A.buy plants that help clean indoor air

B.Pour the water into the pot holder.
C.Give small amount of water at one time.
D.Consider further watering in dry weather.

解答 DBAB
28 D 考查细节推理,根据第二段的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 60degrees Fahrenheit,a position out of cold air,safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.对于大多数第一次带进室内的植物的总体规则是要确保他们有不低于60华氏度的合理温度、远离冷空气的位置、避免宠物以及不要暴露在强光下.可知第二段作者主要是在告诉我们要为植物找到合适的条件,故本题答案为D选项.
29 B 考查细节推理,根据文章第三段的When plants are growing together,they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions.植物一起生长时,他们能在它们周围创造出一种潮湿的(damp)环境,这种环境比干燥的条件要有益得多.可知本题答案为B选项.
30 A 考查细节推理,根据文章第四段的Cold Slightly warm water is therefore the answer."因此冷的但是稍微温暖一点的水是答案".可知本题答案为A选项.
31.B 考查细节推理,根据文章最后一段的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.(大部分的室内植物从三月一直到十月份都处于活跃增长,而且在此期间它们受益于有规律的喂养)及最后一句的前半部分It is important,however,to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive…(然而确保不要在指物生长不活跃时喂养它们这一点是很重要的).可知"在指物活跃时喂养是最佳时间",故本题答案为B选项.
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
