任务一 语音语调
有感情地朗读短文并完成文后的练习。
Our neighbourhood is a large, friendly and lively community. More than 30 families live there. Last month, something wonderful happened in our neighbourhood. We built a community garden. Mrs Lin thought of the idea. She has a backyard vegetable garden that everyone admires(羡慕) and next to the house is a large piece of land that is hers.
Mrs Lin taught Maths at our school until she retired last year. "Not everyone has room for a garden," said Mrs Lin. "Let's build a garden that will be good for each family in the neighbourhood. I am ready to be a volunteer, and try to make our community better."
People in the community helped dig the garden, and Mrs Lin told us what to plant. On March 3, our neighbours came together at the garden to plant and water vegetable seeds. Then we had a big celebration. Mrs Lin gave a talk and we ate sandwiches, apples and carrots for lunch.
Families in the neighbourhood volunteer to care for the garden, and we will all share the results. What a great gift to the community, isn't it? We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like this.

1. 本题考查元音字母发音辨析。A选项community中划线字母i发音为/ə/；B选项gift、C选项will、D选项sandwiches中划线字母i发音均为/ɪ/，因此A选项发音与其他不同。
2. 本题考查元音字母发音辨析。A选项month、B选项something中划线字母o发音为/ʌ/，D选项lunch中划线字母u发音为/ʌ/；C选项volunteer中划线字母o发音为/ɒ/（英式），与其他选项发音不同。
3. 本题考查文本细节理解。A选项对应原文第一段“Mrs Lin thought of the idea.”，表述正确；B选项对应原文第三段“Then we had a big celebration.”，表述正确；D选项对应原文第二段Mrs Lin的提议内容，表述正确；C选项是带有反义疑问的感叹句，仅为作者主观评价，并非客观事实陈述，因此该选项不符合“true”的要求。
