1.What do we know about the project of hopscotch along Edinburgh’s Leamington Terrace?
A.Its original aim was to extend the squares to the top of the hill.
B.It was set up in March and could boast the biggest in the UK.
C.It was designed by a group of world-famous urban designers.
D.Its squares were produced jointly by local residents.
正确答案：D
解析：原文明确指出：’A bucket of chalk was passed up the street, neighbours encouraged to add their own squares.’ 且 ‘as young and old chipped in with their own squares’，说明方格由当地居民共同绘制。A项错误——原文说’aim was to extend the hopscotch to the end of the street’，而‘top of the hill’是结果而非原定目标；B项错误——项目是’April’设立，非March；C项错误——仅由’urban designer Jenny Elliott’一人设立。
2.Which is mentioned as a reason why hopscotch is so attractive?
A.It is flexible in the number of players.
B.It can be played in any kind of place.
C.It can be played as long as ten days.
D.It is helpful to one’s mental health.
正确答案：A
解析：原文明确指出：’it can be played alone as well as with friends’，即玩家人数灵活（可单人/多人），对应A项。B项‘any kind of place’过度推断，原文仅说’a stretch of hard ground’；C项‘ten days’是某次具体活动持续时间，并非游戏本身属性；D项‘mental health’未被提及。
4.What does the author use as an example to show adults playing hopscotch?
A.A US family playing hopscotch in their neighbour’s house.
B.Some people playing hopscotch as a military training exercise.
C.Some policemen hopping along a hopscotch on the pavement.
D.A man paying a fine of £60 for playing hopscotch on the street.
正确答案：C
解析：原文明确写道：’Adults hop along real hopscotches too. Last month, police officers in Derbyshire were spotted enjoying a pavement hopscotch on the beat.’ 这是直接举例说明成人参与。A项表述错误——原文是’using the neighbours’ houses as property’（将邻居家房子当作地产棋盘），并非在邻居家内玩；B项是历史起源，非当代成人实例；D项是违法后果，非游戏行为本身。
解析：结尾句：’Chalk, like childhood, is a temporary thing; to be enjoyed while it lasts.’ 是类比修辞，强调珍惜当下、享受短暂而美好的事物（如粉笔画的跳房子、童年），核心是‘enjoyment’，故B最契合。A/C/D均属过度引申，原文无此主张。
A.Industrial farming had an adverse impact on crop diversity.
B.There were few unique vegetables available 100 years ago.
C.About 90% of fruit varieties worldwide have disappeared.
D.Some Canadians preserved crop seeds in their houses.
正确答案：A
解析：首段明确指出：’because of the widespread adoption of industrial farming practices, about 90% of North America’s fruit and vegetable varieties have died out. Worldwide, 75% of crop diversity has been lost.’ 直接说明工业化农业对作物多样性的负面影响。B项与原文‘you needn’t travel far to find unique fruits or vegetables’矛盾；C项混淆范围（原文是North America，非worldwide）；D项虽部分正确（backyard gardeners），但‘in their houses’不准确，原文强调‘backyard’及邮寄种子。
8.Why does Wildfong mention landscape preservation?
A.To stress the necessity of preserving old plant varieties.
B.To explore the way of protecting Canada’s heritage.
C.To show the function of the Canadian Seed Library.
D.To illustrate the circulation of each crop variety.
正确答案：A
解析：原文Wildfong原话：’We designate buildings to be preserved. We designate landscapes to be preserved… We need to think of old varieties of plants as being in that same category.’ 明确将植物品种保护与建筑、景观保护类比，强调其同等重要性与必要性。
