That is what Gabriel
25、 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 produce is always better,“ Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family
26、 farms instead of large farms. And at most times it is locally (本 地) grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.“ Gold is one of a 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 ma
27、ny shoppers really know what they are getting, and why they are willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? 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 exam
28、ple, 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,
29、 a specialist in this line of business.(分数:4.00)(1).Organic food _.(分数:1.00)A.is free of pesticidesB.is locally grownC.is sold only at the supermarketD.is more expensive(2).Gabriel Gold _.(分数:1.00)A.is the owner of a family farmB.is a 26- year- old computer technicianC.is a shop assistantD.is a farm

31、 for their preferencesB.have complete knowledge of organic foodC.are mainly computer technicianD.are specialists in this line of businessBMichele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill. When she wa
32、s only 14, Michele was already so interested in the differences in her school friends“ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them. After finishing college she went to France for a special two-year class to learn how to analyze handwriting at the School of Police Science. On her return, she
33、 began her work for the Quebec police. Michele says that it is impossible for people to disguise their handwriting. She can discover most of what she needs to know simply by looking at the writing with her own eyes, but she also has machines that help her analyze different kinds of paper and ink. Th
34、is knowledge is often of help to the police. Michele also believes that handwriting is a good sign of the kind of person the writer is. “I wouldn“t go out with a fellow if I didn“t like his handwriting,“ she says. But she adds that she fell in love with her future husband, William Smith, before she
35、studied his handwriting. It later proved to be all right, however.(分数:5.00)(1).The best title for the text would be _.(分数:1.00)A.A Handwriting ReaderB.Friends of PoliceC.Police ScienceD.Art of Handwriting in France(2).Where did Michele learn to analyze people“s handwriting in France?(分数:1.00)A.At wo

38、wn with any certainty when man first learned how to make use of fire, but when he did, his life was changed in many ways. With fire he found he had a means of keeping warm in cold weather, of boiling water, cooking meals and keeping dangerous animals away. Later he found that fire could be used to e
39、xtract certain metals from ores. Then he made metals become tools, weapons and decorations. Still later, it was discovered that two metals together could form a new but strong metal. Thus the science of preparing metal for use began, although it happened more by chance than by any planned purpose on
40、 the part of those who were concerned about it.(分数:3.00)(1).When was man“s life changed in many ways?(分数:1.00)A.When he did.B.It is not known.C.When he learned how to make use of fire.D.With fire.(2).How did the science of preparing metals for use happen?(分数:1.00)A.By any planned purpose.B.By chance

42、laying a very important part in their life and work since human beings mastered its use.DThe number of people in the world is growing. By the year 2000 world population is expected to grow to 6.2 billion. The fastest growth is in developing countries, where there is already a shortage of food, housi
43、ng, and jobs. Africa is the fastest-growing part of the world. In Kenya, for example, the population will increase 10 times in the next 80 years. In Asia, a few countries have begun to reduce their population growth slowly. China still makes up about 21% of the world“s population, but it has greatly
44、 slowed down its rate of growth. It is now growing at a rate of only 0.8 % per- year. In India, however, the population continues to grow, and it is expected to be even larger than the Chinese population by the year 2040. The population in India is growing three times faster than in Australia, Japan
45、, and the developed countries in Europe. In fact, European people are more worried about population decrease than increase. Eastern European countries are growing at a rate of only about 1%. The best news is that, in general, population growth has slowed down from 2.08% in 1970 to 1.6% in 1985. At t
46、he present rate, the earliest time that the world could reach zero population growth is 2040. At that time, there will probably be about eight billion people in the world. It is possible, though, that the population might not really stop growing until much later. With people living longer, the numbe
47、r of elderly will have grown by 15% by that time. Nearly half of the world“s population will be living in cities. This is a situation that could cause a long list of other problems including pollution and a lack of food, water, housing, and jobs.(分数:4.00)(1).Which of the following is the best title
48、for the text?(分数:1.00)A.Decrease of World PopulationB.Population Growth Has StoppedC.World Population A Look into the FutureD.China“s Population One Fifth of the World Population(2).Among all the countries mentioned in the text, the one with the highest growth rate is _.(分数:1.00)A.IndiaB.ChinaC.Japa
49、nD.Kenya(3).People in European countries are more concerned about the fact that _.(分数:1.00)A.they do not have enough jobs for peopleB.many people from the countryside come to live in the citiesC.the population in developing countries is not decreasingD.their populations are falling(4).Which of the following facts is best supported by the text?(分数:1.00)A.There will be a number of problems in cities in the future.B.The world population will st
