LONDON(Reuters)—Organic fruit,delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers,and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible,the 26?year old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

“Organic product is always better,”Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(农药),and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not that it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal,so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend,and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting,and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market ?research? shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example,small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口)to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year,so it is a very fast-growing market,”said Sue Flock,a specialist in this line of business.

61.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because         .

A.they are getting richer

B.they can get the food anywhere

C.they consider the food free of pollution

D.they like home-grown fruit

62.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic products sold in Britain?

A.It grows indoors all year round.

B.It is produced outside Britain.

C.It is grown on family farms.

D.It is produced on large farms.

63.What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?

A.Growing interest in organic food.

B.Better quality of organic food.

C.Rising market for organic food.

D.Higher prices of organic food.

64.What is the best title for this news story?

A.Organic Food-Healthy,or Just for the Wealthy?

B.The Making of Organic Food in Britain

C.Organic Food-to Import or Not?

D.Good Qualities of Organic Food

61.解析:从Gold所说的话“Organic product is always better.The food is free of pesticides,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms”可以判断出,人们喜欢organic food(绿色食物)是因为它们没有受到农药的污染。

答案:C

62.解析:第二段中“And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not ?local? but imported”说明英国的绿色食物大部分是进口的,即在英国的国外(outside Britain)生产的。

答案:B

63.解析:根据短文最后Sue Flock所说的话“The demand for organic food is ?increasing? by about one third every year,so it is a very fast-growing market”可以判断出,由于人们对organic food越来越感兴趣,使其需求越来越大。

答案:A

64.解析:人们越来越重视自己所吃的食物,由于绿色食品中不含有农药,所以越来越受到人们的青睐。绿色食品的需求量每年以三分之一的速度上升,这使得绿色食品市场成为快速增长的市场,销售人员由此获得大量财富。所以,“Organic food—Healthy,or Just for the Wealthy?”是比较恰当的题目。

答案:A

C

Although more and more people are exercising regularly,experts note that eating right is also a key to good health.Nutritionists recommend(推荐)the “food pyramid” for a simple guide to eating the proper foods.At the base of the food pyramid are grains and fiber.You should eat six to eleven servings of bread,cereal,rice,and paste every day.Next up the pyramid are vegetables and fruits; five to nine daily servings from this group are recommended.The next pyramid level is the dairy group.Two or three servings a day for milk,yogurt,or cheese help maintain good nutrition. Moving up the pyramid,the next level is the meat,fish,beans,eggs,and nuts group,of which everyone should eat only three servings a day.At the very top of the pyramid are fats,oils,and sweets; these foods should be eaten only infrequently.

You don’t have to shop in health food stores to follow the guidelines.One easy way to plan menus that follow the food pyramid is shop only in the outer aisles of the grocery store.In most supermarkets,fresh fruits and vegetables,dairy,fresh meat and frozen foods are in the outer aisles of the store.Grains,like paste,rice,bread,are located on the next aisles,the first inner rows.Finally,the farthest inside of the store is where you’ll find chips and snacks,cookies and pastries,soda pop and drink mixes.These are the kinds of foods that nutritionists say everyone should eat rarely,if at all.If you stay in the outer aisles of the grocery store,you won’t be tempted to buy foods you shouldn’t eat,and you will find a wide variety of healthy foods to choose from.Another benefit of shopping this way is that grocery shopping takes less time.

65.A good title for this article would be         .

A.How to Shop in a Health Food Store

B.How to Shop Efficiently

C.How to Shop for Healthy Food

D.How to Cook Healthy Food

66.According to the food pyramid,people should        .

A.eat more grains than meat

B.never eat fats and sweets

C.mostly eat meat only with vegetables

D.rarely eat bread and other starches

67.According to the passage,on the inside aisles of the grocery store you will find        .

A.cleaning products

B.dog and cat food

C.wine and beer

D.chips and snacks

68.In order to follow the main advice in the passage,it would be most helpful to know       .

A.where to buy a copy of the “The Food Pyramid”

B.whether rice has more calories than paste

C.which supermarket the author is referring to

D.how much of each kind of food equals a serving

65.解析:从营养专家推荐饮食食谱到如何到商店购买健康食品(如蔬菜等)是本文的主线,所以应选C。

答案:C

66.解析:从第一段可看出,在营养专家推荐的食物金字塔中,人们应多吃蔬菜、谷类而应少吃肉类食品。

答案:A

67.解析:第二段中间部分有这样一句话:“...the farthest inside of the store is where you’ll find chips and snacks”。这句话可清楚地告诉我们应选D项。

答案:D

68.解析:文章虽多次提到“一日两(三)餐”,但并没有说明一餐的量究竟是多少,因为要想按照营养专家的建议饮食的话,有必要搞清楚每餐的量。

答案:D

D

The world we live in gets more mechanized every year.Some countries which were mainly agricultural a hundred years ago have now become industrial.New factories and towns have been built on good agricultural land.There are now fewer farms to serve a much greater population,so these farms must be more efficient in order to produce as much food as possible.There is no place in the modern agricultural world for the inefficient farmer.Unfortunately,many of the picturesque aspects of farming are disappearing in the search for efficiency.The more tractors are used,the fewer horses are needed.Everyone agrees that horses are far more pleasant to look at than tractors.But they are less efficient.Cows are usually milked by machinery nowadays,and even pigs are fed automatically.There is not much art or poetry on the modern farm,and the old traditional idea of a farm as a slow,peaceful,romantic place is totally wrong nowadays.

The modern farmer has to be a mechanic,a scientist,an accountant and a gambler.The more mechanized farming becomes,the more expert the farmer has to be.He must understand what machinery is necessary for his kind of farm,and he must know how to use it efficiently.He must also understand the new technical advances in agriculture,and how to use chemical and synthetic products to improve his crops.The more workers a farmer employs,the more he must know about the problems of wages and taxes.As in any other industry,most modern farmers find it necessary to employ office staff to deal with these.But although he has more modern equipments and far more scientific aids than his grandfather had,the farmer is still dependent upon the weather.As he can never be sure what the weather will do,he must be prepared to take risks,and face the possibility of losing everything.

69.The underlined word “mechanic” means         .

A.a skilled farmer

B.a skilled person in using and repairing

C.a worker

D.a driver

70.Why the idea of a farm as a slow,peaceful,romantic place is wrong nowadays?

A.Because nowadays,the world gets more mechanized.

B.Because cows are usually milked by machinery and pigs are fed automatically.

C.The fewer horses are needed.

D.No farm needs the inefficient farmer.

71.How to explain“The more mechanized farming becomes,the more expert the farmer has to be”?

A.With the development of agriculture,it needs farmers to become a skilled man to ?operate? those agricultural machines.

B.With the development of agriculture,the farmer should be an accountant.

C.With the development of agriculture,the farmer should be mechanized.

D.With the development of agriculture,the farmer has to be a driver.

72.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A.The weather is a very important factor in agriculture.

B.It’s necessary for modern farmers to have modern equipments.

C.The farmers don’t have to know about their wages and taxes today.

D.Nowadays,it’s necessary for farmers to use office staff.

69.解析:根据文章上下文,判断出mechanic意为“有技术的人”。

答案:B

70.解析:从文章第一段第一句“The world we live in gets more mechanized every year”可知,我们居住的世界已经更加机械化了,所以对于传统农场的概念已经过时了。

答案:A

71.解析:作者认为随着农业的发展,需要农民成为有技能的、能够操作农业机械的人。

答案:A

72.解析:从文章第二段“The more workers a farmer employs,the more must know about the problems of wages and taxes”可以判断出,农场主还需要了解更多的关于工资和税务的问题。

答案:C

E

Read through the explanations of the following words,and then read the following advertisement and answer the questions after it.

(1)available adj. able to be gotten,obtained,used

(2)unfurnished adj. a house of flat without any furniture

Now available at Franklin Park one block away from Indiana University.New unfurnished.One bedroom at $135,two bedrooms at $165,three bedrooms at $195 per month.Utilities include electricity.Children and small animals welcome.One month’s deposit required.Office opens through Saturday nine to five.Welcome for an evening or Sunday appointment.

73.According to this advertisement,a one-bedroom flat would require a deposit of        .

A.$195   B.$165   C.$135   D.$270

74.From this advertisement we can suppose        .

A.cats and dogs are not permitted in the flats

B.the flats have furniture in them

C.the flats are far from Indiana University

D.gas and water bills are included in the rent

75.The advertisement suggests that persons who are interested in the flats must        .

A.see the flats on Monday or Saturday

B.call for an appointment if they want to see the flats from nine to five Monday through Saturday

C.see the flats before five o’clock during weekdays

D.call for an appointment if they want to see the flats on Sunday or in the evening

73.解析:根据文中“One bedroom at $135...per month”可知,一间卧室的月租金是$135,同时广告中说明“One month’s deposit required.”,即需要一个月的租金作为定金,也就是$135。

答案:C

74.解析:因为广告中说明“Children and small animals welcome”,即可以带孩子和宠物,所以选项A不对。同时广告中说明“New unfurnished”,而广告前的名词解释中说明“unfurnished adj. A house of flat without any furniture”,即房间中没有家具,所以选项B不对。对于位置,广告中说明“one block from Indiana University”,所以far away不对。从广告中的说明“Utilities include electricity”以及广告前的生词解释“utilities n. any useful service for the public,such as supplies of water,gas to the home”可知,水、电及煤气的费用全部包括在租金之内,所以选项D正确。

答案:D

75.解析:从广告中“Office opens through Saturday nine to five.Welcome for an evening or Sunday appointment”可知,星期六9点到5点,可随时拜访,每天晚上和星期天可提前预约。

答案:D

三峡大坝:The Three Gorges Dam

_

_

_

答案:

The Three Gorges Dam is being built in Hubei Province in China,which is to be completed in 2010.It’s built for several reasons.

First,the Yangtze River floods large areas at the same time every year.The flood destroys houses and crops,and some people even lose their lives.The new dam will control the waters of the Yangtze River and tame some of the rivers’ deadliest floods.

second,when finished,the Three Gorges Dam will produce the energy of 15 nuclear power plants.

But there are also some disadvantages.As a result of the dam,the water level of the new lake will rise by about 100 meters,so that millions of people have to move from the place where they are living.What’s more,the waters of the new lake will cover many places of interest in the area of the Three Georges.Anyway,if we can control it,the advantages of it will out weigh its disadvantages.
