12、持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加 Apple Day 吧。1What can people do at the apple events?AAttend experts lectures.BVisit fruitloving families.CPlant fruit trees in an orchard.DTaste many kinds of apples.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，
13、a wide variety of apples.”可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种各样的苹果。A 项说“参加专家的讲座 ”，这与倒数第二段中“At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions”提到的与专家交流不符，曲解了文意；B 项说“参观喜欢水果的家庭 ”，文中并未提及；C 项说“在果园中种植果树”，文章虽然提到可以参观、品尝等体验，但没有提种植果树。答案：D2What can we learn about Decio?AIt is a new

DIt has a special taste.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“.it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio. is more of a curiosity than anything else.”可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的 Cats Head 这一品种类比，由此判断 Decio 非常稀少。A 项说
15、“它是新品种” ，这与 which was grown by the Romans 不符；B 项说“它外形奇特” ，这指的是 Cats Head 的特点，犯了张冠李戴的错误； D 项说“它有特殊的味道” ，这与“it doesnt taste of anything special”不符。答案：C3What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?AA practical idea. BA vain hope.CA brilliant plan. DA selfish desire.解析：词义理解题。根据本段中
16、的“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but youll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it.”可知，尽管 Orleans Reinette 是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。A 项说 “一个切合实际的想法” ，这与它对生存条件要求高相矛盾；C 项说“ 一个很好的计划” ，根据画线前的描述可知，这是一种希望或梦想；D 项说“一个自私的愿望” ，这里说的是愿望的可否实现

18、二段中的“Visiting an apple event.”以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。A 项“展示如何种植苹果” ，C 项“帮助人们选苹果 ”，D 项“促进苹果的研究” ，均与文章内容不符。答案：BBDid anyone find the names of “the British Isles”， “Great Britain”， “the United Kingdom”，“England” and “the British Commonwealth” have the same meaning?
