高考英语真题:2023新课标二卷阅读B原文+翻译+生词
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.” 24.

全文翻译:
翻土、除草、收割卷心菜，对初高中生来说听着是繁重的活儿。艾比・哈拉米略说，一开始确实如此。她和另一位老师创办了 “城市萌芽” 项目，这是在四所低收入学校开展的校园园艺项目。该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识以及健康的生活方式。
哈拉米略的学生所居住的社区很难找到新鲜食物与绿地，快餐店的数量比杂货店还要多。“孩子们上学时，包里装的全是零食，还带着大瓶的汽水。” 她说，“他们刚来的时候觉得蔬菜很难吃，泥土很恶心，昆虫也很可怕。” 尽管有些孩子一开始害怕昆虫、嫌弃泥土，但大多数人都渴望尝试新事物。
“城市萌芽” 项目的课程开设在两所初中和两所高中，包含实操实验，例如土壤检测、花和种子解剖、品尝新鲜或风干农产品，还有园艺劳作。每年有好几次，学生会烹饪自己种出来的蔬菜，偶尔还会为全校师生制作沙拉。
项目评估显示，上完这些课程后，孩子们吃的蔬菜变多了。“有的学生说，回家和父母沟通之后，一家人现在的饮食习惯都改变了。” 哈拉米略说道。
她补充说，这个项目带来的益处不止于营养层面。一些学生对园艺产生浓厚兴趣，会把种子带回家，开辟属于自己的小菜园。除此之外，园艺劳作似乎对哈拉米略班里特殊教育的学生有安定情绪的效果，他们当中很多人存在情绪控制方面的问题。“他们走到户外，” 她说，“并且收获成就感。”
