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(消费者).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(进口) 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(减少) 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:文章介绍了什么是食物里程,及现代食品全球流通的方式、原因和面临的问题.

解答 81-85:CBDBD
81题答案:C 细节理解题. 由第一段的第五句This journey,from"field to plate",is called"food miles".(这个从田地到餐桌的旅程被叫作"食物里程")可知,C项是"食物里程"的最佳定义.
82题答案:B 细节理解题. 由第三段的第一至三句Some countries have to import(进口)most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates.The United Arab Emirates(UAE),for example…(一些国家不得不进口它们的大部分食物这是因为它们的气候不好,如阿拉伯联合酋长国…)可知,一些像阿拉伯联合酋长国这样的国家,不得不进口大部分食品的原因是气候不好.故选B.
83题答案:D 细节理解题. 在最后一段中,作者指出了食物旅行令人担忧的几个原因.并用最后一句We need to buy more local food.(我们需要买更多的当地食物)来提出倡议,让人们买更多的当地食品.故选D.
84题答案:B 细节理解题.根据第三段Some countries have to import(进口) 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.一些国家必须进口大部分食物,这是因为他们有糟糕的气候,例如阿拉伯联合酋长的85%的食物依赖进口,而不是全部,所以B错误.
85题答案:D 细节理解题. 在第一段中,作者解释了什么是"食物里程",在后面的几段中,针对食物长距离旅行对人们生活和环境的影响进行了说明.因此D项"食物里程是什么和它的影响"为正确选项.

点评 本文是一篇日常生活类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对 性找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案.

任务型阅读

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful(充满希望的) 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 (心理学者) 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(舒适)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.
