2011年高考英語全國統(tǒng)一考試(全國1卷)真題及答案

D
  Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband’s income．So this year she did
something more than a hobby(業(yè)余愛好)：She planted vegetables in her yard．For her first garden，
Ms．Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants，and five rows of a variety of vegetables．The family’s old
farm house has become a chicken house，its residents arriving next month．Last year， Ms．Rita
Gartin kept a small garden．This year she has made it much larger because，she said，“The cost of everything is going up and I Was looking to lose a few pounds，too；SO it's a win-win situation all around．”
  They are among the growing number of Americans who，driven by higher living costs and a
falling economy(經(jīng)濟(jì))，have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time．Others have
increased the size of their existing gardens．Seed companies and garden shops say that not since
the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home．Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months．In Austin，Tex．，some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list．
  George C．Ball Jr．，owner of a company ,said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by
40％over last year ,double the average growth of the last five years．Mr．Ball argues that some of
The reasons have been building for the last few years．The big one is the striking rise in the cost offood like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables．Food
prices have increased because of higher oil prices．People are now driving less，taking fewer
vacations,SO there is more time to garden．
