The group Country Trust is asking for help in testing how healthy our soil(土壤) is. Between March and June in 2023, the group was hoping for the help of over 10,000 children.
Healthy soil has lots of small living things in it. It helps us to grow food. But it's not just that. Healthy soil is good at taking in and storing water. This helps a lot after heavy rains, or during a long period of time when there is little or no rain.
______ ▲ ______ More and more people get to know they have to do something. To test soil health in the UK, Country Trust is asking for help. The first thing to do is get a pair of cotton shorts. Make sure they are made of cotton. Shorts made from anything else won't do. Find some soil that you can dig(挖) in. That could be at home, in a school garden, a park or even a football field. When you find the soil you want, just dig, put your shorts in, and leave them for eight weeks. If the soil is full of life, it'll begin breaking down your cotton shorts. After two months, dig your shorts back up. The worse they look, the healthier your soil is! People can join in for free on the Country Trust website and then share their findings.
The group hopes that the activity will help people to know a little more about soil, understand how important it is, and not just see it as dirt(泥土).

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了国家信托组织正在寻求帮助来测试土壤的健康状况。
1. A 【解析】写作手法题。根据“Between March and June in 2023, the group was hoping for the help of over 10,000 children.”可知，2023 年 3 月至 6 月期间，该组织希望能得到 1 万多名儿童的帮助。作者列出数字表明国家信托需要许多儿童的帮助，故选 A。
2. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据“Healthy soil is good at taking in and storing water.”可知，健康的土壤善于吸收和储存水分，故选 B。
3. D 【解析】补全文章题。根据“More and more people get to know they have to do something.”可知，越来越多的人开始意识到他们必须做些什么。由此可知，我们应该做些什么来改变不好的地方，选项 D“然而，我们土壤的健康状况正在恶化。”符合语境，故选 D。
4. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据“When you find the soil you want, just dig, put your shorts in, and leave them for eight weeks. If the soil is full of life, it'll begin breaking down your cotton shorts. After two months, dig your shorts back up. The worse they look, the healthier your soil is!”可知，当你找到你想要的土壤时，只需要挖，把你的短裤放进去，然后放八周。如果土壤充满了生命，它就会开始破坏你的棉质短裤。两个月后，把你的短裤挖出来。它们看起来越糟糕，你的土壤就越健康！所以如果你的棉质短裤在土壤中放了 9 周后看起来还不错，那就说明周围的土壤不健康，故选 A。
5. A 【解析】标题归纳题。根据“To test soil health in the UK, Country Trust is asking for help. The first thing to do is get a pair of cotton shorts.”可知，为了测试英国的土壤健康状况，国家信托组织正在寻求帮助。首先要做的是买一条棉质短裤。本文主要介绍了国家信托组织正在寻求帮助来测试土壤的健康状况，选项 A“国家信托组织需要短裤”符合主题，故选 A。
