五、任务型阅读。
主题群:社会服务 子主题:社区生活 语篇类型:说明文 难度:★★
In Shanghai, a new type of "shared vegetable garden" has appeared in some communities. Residents can rent a small piece of land in the garden to grow their own vegetables. This idea was created by a community committee in Pudong District to solve two problems: unused empty spaces and the need for green activities among city residents.
Mrs Wang, a retired teacher, rents a 10-square-meter plot. "I come here every morning. It's like my morning exercise. I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. They taste much better than those from the supermarket," she says happily.
The cost is very low—only 100 yuan per year for a plot, including seeds, tools, and water. There are also volunteers who teach organic farming methods. The garden has become a popular place for both the elderly and young families. Children learn where food comes from, and neighbours get to know each other.
However, some people complain about the smell of fertilizer(肥料) and insects problems. The committee has promised to use eco-friendly methods to control these problems. They are also planning to add more gardens in other districts.
根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过10个单词。
1. What problems did the shared vegetable garden solve?
2. How much does it cost to rent a plot for one year?
3. Who teaches organic farming methods in the garden?
4. What problem do some people have with the garden?
5. What do you think of the "shared vegetable garden"?
