21．（6分）Companion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help each other grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.
Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernand
ez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).
Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.
Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.
Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at eatcaliforniafruit. They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.
Here's their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.
1、What are the basic needs for companion planting?
A．Good old companions. B．Some kinds of soil bacteria.
C．Nutrients, soil and moisture. D．Helpful insects.
2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．To some extent, companion planting relies more on traditional experience.
B．In the field of companion planting, proof always speaks louder than tradition.
C．Traditional experience is much less reliable than scientific experiments.
D．Scientific researches have thrown light on the theory of companion planting.
3、According to the text, which group of plants are not suitable to be planted together?
A．Beans and potatoes. B．Tomatoes and watercress.
C．Carrots and cabbages. D．Beans and rice.
4、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A．We should choose fruit from markets as often as possible.
B．The peaches, plums and nectarines should always be put together to get riper.
C．The fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag should be eaten as soon as possible.
D．We should not place any ripening fruit out in direct sunlight.
22．（8分）The sun was setting and the farm would be closing. I dressed our three daughters quickly
as my husband started the van. Cutting down our own Christmas tree had been a family tradition. As our family grew，so did our excitement for going out to find the perfect tree.
As we walked through the rows of trees，my youngest daughter Kimberly shouted excitedly，“There it is，the perfect tree!”The other two agreed. My husband and I looked at each other puzzled. We were surprised the girls thought that straggly (凌乱的）little tree was perfect. Its branches were misshappen(畸形的）and the trunk was visible through the spots where there were no pine needles.
We tried to persuade our daughters into changing their minds, but in vain. We had to tie the sad little tree to the roof of our van and headed home. As we reached our house, Heather jumped out first. Suddenly she shouted，“The tree isn’t there! ”We thought she was kidding. However，it wasn’t there.
The girls were so disappointed. “We’ll get another tree tomorrow，”I said, secretly hoping the new tree would be prettier. But the girls gave us the look that no parent can resist. We had no choice but to go back and find that tree.
About five minutes into our drive, we saw it on the side of the road. As we got closer，we found it had been run over by a truck. As we lifted the tree，we saw that a big part was ripped off，but we took it home anyway.
That night，as we decorated our tree，something magical happened. We didn’t realize it at the time but we were making a very special family memory. By the time we were done，I had to admit，it didn’t look sad after all. “This is the best tree we ever had. It’s perfect!，”my second daughter Samantha said excitedly. My husband and I couldn’t have agreed more!
Now we always recall that little broken tree! Year by year，we tell the story of that very special Christmas almost twenty-five years ago.

Palp from Vancouver ★★★☆☆
Great one hour stop at the Suspension Bridge. The salmon bake in Liarsville was the best part! It was a buffet of UNLIMITED salmon that was being freshly cooked over an open fire. Overall good excursion, just a little too expensive for what it is.
