wine culture and protest fast food.today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental_stewardshipthe actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livablecommunities.characterized by slow food international as “good, clean, and fair food，” slow food must enrich the eaters life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensatefairly for food producers work.the average american meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country.however，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the foodindustry that the environment faces. industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices likeinefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with natures ways of doing things. a great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts tooversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce theimpact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ we need tochange our food system，” said david prior, organizer of slow food nation eatin. “our currentfood system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has theright to nutritious food.”36the main idea of the passage can be summarized as_.awhy slow food is so important bthe food and wine culture is rich in italycwhat youre eating always travels a long way dslow food makes the current food system sick37according to the second paragraph, “environmental stewardship”refers to_.ameasures of environmental protectionsbways to establish healthy and livable communitiescpeoples admiration for all the creatures on the earthdactions to protect the rights of all living things and environment38slow foods characteristic doesnt lie in_.aimproving the quality of eaters lifebproviding a fair pay for food workerscbeing friendly to human and environmental health ddeveloping a loose relationship with food producers39what is david priors attitude towards current food system? asuspicious. bunsatisfied. cindifferent. dsupportive.【要点综述】本文的作者告诉我们，如果想吃得更健康、更营养，那就提倡“慢食物”吧！36a主旨大意题。本文主要探讨“慢食物”的重要性，以及“慢食物”给人们带来的好处，故答案选a项。37d细节理解题。从第二段中的“environmental stewardshipthe actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments”可知，环境管理(environmental stewardship)的内容就是“破折号”后的解释，即“人们尊重所有生物和环境的权利的行动”，故d项正确。38d细节理解题。从第三段可知，“慢食物运动”的特色就在于改善饮食者的饮食质量；不对人类健康和环境卫生产生副作用；给食物供应商以合理的报酬。d项则没有提到，故答案选d项。39b推理判断题。从最后一段david prior所说的话可知，他认为当前的食物系统很糟糕，需要改进，所以他的态度应该是不满意的(unsatisfied)。a项表示“怀疑的”；c项表示“漠不关心的”；d项表示“支持的”，都不符合语境。*结束blet children learn to judge their own work. a child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. he notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. in the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclethey compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. but in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. we do it all for him. we act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. if it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. let him correct his own papers. why should we teachers waste time in such routine（日常的）work? our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.5. according to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_.a. listening to skilled peoples advice. b. asking older people many questionsc. making mistakes and having them correctedd. doing what other people do6. which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?.a. give children correct answersb. allow children to mark mistakes.c. point out childrens mistakes to them. d. let children mark their own work7. according to the writer, teachers in school

suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_a. different from learning other skillsb. the same as learning skillsc. more important than other skills d. not really important skills58、c cab *结束ci entered high school having read hundreds of books. but i was not a good reader. merely bookish, i lacked a point of view when i read. rather, i read in order to get a point of view. i searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. when one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade english class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, i heard the words without recognizing either its irony（嘲讽）or its very complicated truth. i merely determined to make a list of all the books i had ever read. strict with myself, i included only once a title i might have read several times.（how, after all, could one read a book more than once?）and i included only those books over a hundred pages in length.（could anything shorter be a book?）there was yet another high school list i made. one day i came across a newspaper article about an english professor at a nearby state college. the article had a list of the “hundred most important books of western civilization.” “more than anything else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality（firmly）, “these books have made me all that i am.” that was the kind of words i couldnt ignore. i kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. most books, of course, i hardly understood. while reading platos the republic, for example, i needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. however, with the special patience and superstition（迷信）of a schoolboy, i looked at every word of the text. and by the time i reached the last word, pleased, i persuaded myself that i had read the republic, and seriously crossed plato off my list9. on hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought _.a. one must read as many books as possibleb. a student should not have a complicated ideac. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksd. students ought to make a list of the books they had read10. while at high school, the writer _.a. had plans for reading b. learned to educate himselfc. only read books over 100 pages d. read only one book several times11. the writers purpose in mentioning the republic is to _.a. explain why it was included in the listb. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listc. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandd. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word12. the writer provides two book lists to _.a. show how he developed his point of viewb. tell his reading experience at high schoolc. introduce the two persons reading methodsd. explain that he read many books at high school912、aa cb *结束dare some people born clever, and others born stupid? or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. to some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. on the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. this view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.it is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. if, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. we might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. we would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. this conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.13. the writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him_.a. at birth b. through educationc. both at birth and through education d. neither at birth nor through education14. if a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.a. become a geniusb. still become a genius if he should be given special educationc. not reach his intelligence in his life. d. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings15. the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.a. the importance of their intelligence b. the role of environment on intelligencec. the importance of their positions d. the part that birth plays16. the best title of the passage can be _.a. surroundings b. effect of educationc. dependence on environment d. intelligence13-cdbd *结束ewhat is the color of the universe? astronomers had not answered this question until two months ago. that is when two american astronomers reported on their study of all the light in the universe. they said that the universe would appear to the human eyes to be a light greenish color.karl glazebrook and ivan baldry of johns hopkins university in baltimore, maryland, reported their finding in january. they presented the research at a meeting of the american astronomical society. they said that finding the color of the universe was not part of their more serious scientific research. they did it for fun.however, earlier this month, the scientists admitted making a mistake. they said their finding was much more colorful than it should have been. they now say the light from our universe is closer to white. it is more like a milky or creamy white color.their study attempted to show what people
