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 food 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 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 第 7 页 共 20 页 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 and 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 journey from field to plate C The effects of long distances D The disadvantages of imported food 2 Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of A long distances B fresh and tasty food C difficult climates D modern technology 3 The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to A buy more local food B travel long distances C increase international trade 第 8 页 共 20 页 D use imported materials 11 10 分 阅读下列短文 从每题所给的 A B C D 四个选项中选出最佳选项 A
