19.These days,the food that you buy comes from lots of different countries.When you go to the supermarket,you will see some kinds of fruits and vegetables you have never seen before.Have a look in your kitchen,fridge,cupboard and fruit bowl and check where the food comes from.Perhaps there are apples from California,lamb from New Zealand,or potatoes from Egypt.You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate.This journey,from field to plate,is called food miles.A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food.Nowadays,food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消費(fèi)者).Why is this,and what are the influences of these long distances?
Traditionally,farmers sold their food in the local market,so the food didn't have to travel very far.The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food.This was a good system for farmers and consumers.However,there were some disadvantages.For example,consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally.In addition,they could only get food that was in season.Now,because of modern technology,food comes from all over the world.We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes.They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(進(jìn)口) most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates.The United Arab Emirates(UAE),for example,gets 85% of its food from other countries.Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
What's wrong with food miles?Is this not a good way of increasing international trade?I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons.First of all,because food travels such long distances,we need more planes,trucks,and ships to move the food.This means we use more oil or gas,so there is more pollution and more global warming.In addition,food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty.Tomatoes,for example,are picked early and stored for their long journeys.For this reason,they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer.Local food has a better taste,and it also reduces(減少) the amount of global pollution.We need to buy more local food.
81.According to this passage,food miles meansC.
A.the origins of the food                 
B.the influences of longs distances
C.the journey from field to plate           
D.the disadvantages of imported food
82.Some countries,like the UAE,have to import most of their food because ofB.
A.long distances                        
B.difficult climates
C.fresh and tasty food                 
D.modern technology
83.In the last paragraph,the writer mainly wants to encourage readers toD.
A.use imported food often                
B.increase international trade
C.travel long distances                   
D.buy more local food
84.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT TRUE?B
A.At present,food often travels a long way to get to the consumers.
B.The United Arab Emirates gets its food from other countries completely.
C.Because of modern technology,it's easy to import food from all over the world
D.If we use more oil or gas to carry food,it can cause pollution and more global warming.
85.This passage is mainly talking aboutD.
A.how local food travels from field to your plate
B.where different kinds of food come from
C.how and why some countries import their food
D.what food miles means and its influences on people's lives.

分析 文章大意:文章介紹了什么是食物里程,及現(xiàn)代食品全球流通的方式、原因和面臨的問(wèn)題.

解答 81-85:CBDBD
81題答案:C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 由第一段的第五句This journey,from"field to plate",is called"food miles".(這個(gè)從田地到餐桌的旅程被叫作"食物里程")可知,C項(xiàng)是"食物里程"的最佳定義.
82題答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 由第三段的第一至三句Some countries have to import(進(jìn)口)most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates.The United Arab Emirates(UAE),for example…(一些國(guó)家不得不進(jìn)口它們的大部分食物這是因?yàn)樗鼈兊臍夂虿缓,如阿拉伯?lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)…)可知,一些像阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)這樣的國(guó)家,不得不進(jìn)口大部分食品的原因是氣候不好.故選B.
83題答案:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 在最后一段中,作者指出了食物旅行令人擔(dān)憂的幾個(gè)原因.并用最后一句We need to buy more local food.(我們需要買(mǎi)更多的當(dāng)?shù)厥澄铮﹣?lái)提出倡議,讓人們買(mǎi)更多的當(dāng)?shù)厥称罚蔬xD.
84題答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段Some countries have to import(進(jìn)口) most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates.The United Arab Emirates(UAE),for example,gets 85% of its food from other countries.Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.一些國(guó)家必須進(jìn)口大部分食物,這是因?yàn)樗麄冇性愀獾臍夂,例如阿拉伯?lián)合酋長(zhǎng)的85%的食物依賴進(jìn)口,而不是全部,所以B錯(cuò)誤.
85題答案:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 在第一段中,作者解釋了什么是"食物里程",在后面的幾段中,針對(duì)食物長(zhǎng)距離旅行對(duì)人們生活和環(huán)境的影響進(jìn)行了說(shuō)明.因此D項(xiàng)"食物里程是什么和它的影響"為正確選項(xiàng).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇日常生活類(lèi)閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì) 性找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.

任務(wù)型閱讀

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful(充滿希望的) happy feelings about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. 25.You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理學(xué)者) tell us. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable(舒適)than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day.26.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted (漆) orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or new colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colors they like or dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character (性格) when you choose something in different colors.
