【答案】

（1）A

（2）D

（3）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，越来越多的美国人在自家花园里种菜，分析出现这一现象的原因是由于生活成本的上升和经济的下降，人们不得不自己种菜以降低生活成本。

（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第一段中的“Thefamily'soldfarmhousehasbecomeachickenhouse,itsresidentsarrivingnextmonth.”可知，CassandraFeeley的旧房子成为了养鸡的地方，下个月新的居民就要来了。

这里的新居民就是指他们所养的鸡。

故选A。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“TheyareamongthegrowingnumberofAmericanswho,drivenbyhigherlivingcostsandafallingeconomy,havetakenupvegetablegardeningforthefirsttime.”可知，菜园的出现是由于生活成本的上升以及经济的下降导致的。

故选D。

（3）考查主旨大意。

纵观全文可知，本文讲述了越来越多的美国人在自家花园里种菜，分析出现这一现象的原因是由于生活成本的上升和经济的下降。

文章并没有涉及家庭食物计划和紧缩活动，更不是把园艺当成爱好。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
