Question

4．Scope：What led you to start an urban （城市的） garden？
Denzel：When I was 14，I went on a service trip to New Orleans．My group helped build an urban garden in a neighborhood that had all the same problems as mine．I realized we could make a difference at home too．I came back and worked with friends to find land we were allowed to use，clean it up，and build a garden．
Scope：Tell us about your neigh borhood in Philadelphia．
Denzel：There is crime （犯罪） and violence，and everybody used to see it as a place where there was nothing to do．Because there wasn't a lot of fresh food around，a typical （典型的） meal would be something like chips，soda，or cheese sticks．
Scope：What is the urban garden like？
Denzel：We have outdoor gardens and greenhouses where we can grow plants year-round．It's made a big difference in the neighborhood．
Scope：How？
Denzel：It's given people something positive （积极的） to do．Both young kids and older people come to the garden，and we help them grow their own food．They can also help with marketing when we sell food to local restaurants．People are eating healthier，too．Food is connected to everything．
Scope：What do you mean？
Denzel：If you don't eat fresh food，you feel tired and unhealthy．People who eat fresh food are more confident．People who grow their own food are even more confident．
Scope：Has that been true for you？
Denzel：As a young teen，I ate nothing but unhealthy food and was overweight．I felt depressed about where I lived．That changed when I started working on the garden．The physical work helped me get in better shape，and I went from eating chips to salad．I realized I could make a change for the better．

解答 DAB
21．D 考查细节理解．根据"There is crime （犯罪） and violence"可知，那是一个充满犯罪和暴力的不安全的地方．故选D．
22．A 考查细节理解．根据"It's given people something positive （积极的） to do．Both young kids and older people come to the garden"可知，自从建造了一个花园，那里的人变得活泼积极．故选A．
23．B 考查词意猜测．根据"As a young teen，I ate nothing but unhealthy food and was overweight"可知，当时作者吃不健康的食物而导致发胖，他的内心应当是抑郁的．所以该词的意思是"不开心"．故选B．
