【真题南京】20.阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries．Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) of the food．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 f ood．Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者)．Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long

distances?

Traditionally, farmers sold their food in th e 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, lorries, and ships to move the food．This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) 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 journey．For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer．Local food has a better taste, a nd it also reduces the amount of global pollution．We need to buy more local food．

1．What is called “food miles” according to this passage?

A．The origins of the food．

B．The effects of long distances．

C．The journey from field to plate．

D．The disadvantages of imported food．

2．The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”．

A．easy to get

B．not busy

C．willing to talk

D．impossible to get

3．Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____．A．long distances

B．difficult climates

C．fresh and tasty food

D．modern technology

4．The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______．

A．buy more local food

B．increase international trade

C．travel long distances

D．use imported materials

5．This passage is mainly about ______．

A．how local food travels from field to plate

B．what “food miles” is and its effects

C．how some countries import their food

D．where different kinds of food come from

答案：1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．B

A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails（蜗牛）．The answer is yes．We went out to dinner the other day，and our parents ordered some．We each tried one and it didn’t taste too bad．The snails，called escargots，are served with lots of butter．They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them，but they don’t really have much taste．Mum’s favourite food here is the French pastries．Dad loves the red wine．Our favourite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street．

We went to visit the EiffelTower a few weeks ago．We went all the way to the top．It was a sunny day，so we could see for miles and miles into the distance．Dad doesn’t like heights，so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground．

We miss all of you a lot．Write back to us and let us know what is new at home．

Au revoir!（Can you guess what that means in French？）

【真题苏州】37．In Western society，especially in the English﹣speaking world，the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important．Many young people，when they finish school at the age of 18，take a gap yearbefore they go to university．

Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school．Although they are worried about their safety，many think that the advantages of independenceand experience are worth the worries．Children are encouraged to be brave，independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends．

Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side．This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life．For example，if they have a rich life，they may want to see how people in poor areas live．

A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives．A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions，especially when they are unsure about what they want to study．Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university．So anywhere you travel in the world，you will meet young European people exploring the world．

So much of the world has been travelled and explored．The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences．Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting．Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand，helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well（井）in a village in Africa．

These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of．Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind．

37．Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year？D

A．Young people want to take a break from studying．

B．Young people want to be sure about what to study．

C．Parents encourage them to be brave and independent．

D．Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life．

38．Now a gap year volunteer mightdosomething more valuable like B．

A．experiencing differ ent cultures

B．helping protect rainforests in Brazil

D．enjoying traditional local food

39．By taking a gap year，young people may C．

"Well, just take a look at that wheel（航轮）!” Earl Cooper said to Candy, his wife．"It must be older than anything we have back home．"

Earl was looking at the wall outside the pub（酒馆）．The pub's name, The Old Swan, was on the wall．Next to the name was a wooden ship's wheel and in the middle of the wheel was the name of a ship, HMS Swan．The wheel was old, Earl could tell．

The next morning, Earl asked to see Tony Thatcher．The Old Swan was Tony's pub．He took Earl to his office while Candy had a coffee outside by the river．Earl said he could give Tony a lot of money for the ship's wheel．He told Tony that Benjamin Cooper, his grandfather, went to America on the ship HMS Swan．But Tony said no at first．After all, the wheel was very old and it was part of the pub's past．"You can think of the past, Mr．Thatcher - can I call you Tony? - or you can think of today．And with the money, Tony, you can buy a good car．Maybe a new Jaguar? And, as I've told you, the wheel is part of my family's past too．So you could say it's going back home, in a way．So, what do you say?"

A month later, Earl and Candy were smiling as they looked at the wall of their house in Houston, Texas．Earl thought to himself that, at last, he had a piece of his family's past．He was happy．In Portsmouth, Tony Thatcher was happy, too．He was putting his new Jaguar into his large garage（车库）．He was careful not to drive into any of the six ship's wheels in the garage．A friend of his made the wheels for him．They were just like the one that Earl bought．And there was another wheel on the outside wall of The Old Swan now．Old or new - Tony thought there was no way that a tourist could ever know which was which．Never in a hundred years．

1．Why did Tony refuse to sell the wheel at first?

A．Because he thought it was old and part of the pub's past．

B．Because he wanted to show it was important to his pub．

C．Because he tried to sell it to someone else at a higher price．

D．Because he did not really believe what Earl had told him．

2．What can we infer(推断) from the story?

A．Earl had looked for such a wheel for a long time before that．

B．Earl would soon find out the truth and become rather angry．

C．Tony had sold quite a few wheels like that ancl got wealthy,

D．Tony would play the same trick again to make more money．

An early form of a game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 B．C．Japan．Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however．They say that early English warriors（武士）kicked around the head of a killed enemy．This may or may not be true, but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport．

Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s．In fact, the king passed a law against playing it．The law said, "There is great noise…caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear．" Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison．Two hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this "vulgar" sport．Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular．In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England．By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer．By the 18th century, upper-class boys played it at schools．Its popularity grew among all English people．

association（协会）．By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rules．Today all soccer teams play by them．

Soccer is called "football" everywhere but in the United States．The game is played mostly with feet．No players except the goalie (守门员) may touch the ball with their hands．They may control the ball with any part of the body except their hands．

Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport．Every four years, nearly every country in the world tlghts for the World Cup．Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television．1．According to the passage, a "vulgar" sport probably
