sale of bottled water from JapanThe water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 food miles before it reaches Western customersTransporting water halfway across the world issurely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns(对虾) from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from Sooth Africa (5,900 food miles)Counting the number of miles traveled by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industryMost food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy-efficient (高能效的)It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers market does not necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by seaBesides, the idea of food miles ignores the amount of fuel used in the productionIt is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sunWhat the idea of food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food marketsThe number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global (全球的) trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment41The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that_AUK wastes a lot of money importing food productsBsome imported goods cause environmental damageCgrowing certain vegetables damages the environmentDpeople waste energy buying food from other countries42The phrase food miles in the passage refers to the distance _Athat a food product travels to a marketBthat a food product travels from one market to anotherCbetween UK and other food producing countriesDbetween a Third World country and a First World food market43By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that _ABritish tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian onesBGhanaian tomatoes taste better than British onesCcutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuelDprotecting the environment may cost a lot of money44From the passage we know that the author is most probably Aa supporter of free global tradeBa member of the Food CommissionCa supporter of First World food marketsDa member of an energy development groupBA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign studentsIt shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrivalThis was followed by speakingWriting increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand inReading remained as a significant(显著的) problemThe information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our courseAlthough many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interestNearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own countryTo use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the pastTherefore a different method may help because it is differentVariety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivationSeveral years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeksThis led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students45What is the text mainly about?AForeign students have more problemsBThere are many ways to improve EnglishCTeaching should meet students needsDEnglish learning problems should be studied again46Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students_Ahad to write their papers Bbecame better at speakingCbecame less interested in reading Dhad fewer problems with listening47We may infer from the last two paragraphs that _Adifferent teaching methods should be usedBgrammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingCEnglish courses are necessary for foreign studentsDteaching content should be changed halfway48The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “_”Are-thinkBactivityCmotivationDtimetableCSince my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artistI actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of himIn any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced(影响) by Krenkel and StJohn for five yearsFor some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artistI had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should lookSo I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of paintingHowever, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitionsArt is now together with my piano playing and readingThere is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to doAs Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my hearts desire”49What is the text mainly about?ALearning to paint in later lifeBHow to paint watercolorsCAn artist-turned teacherDLife after retirement50The author started drawing again in 1995 because_Ahe hoped to draw a picture of his fatherBhe couldnt stop missing his fatherChe had more time after retirementDhe liked animals and landscapes51We can infer from the text that the author_Ahad been taught by Krenkel and StJohnBpainted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 yearsCbelieved Wyeth to be the best in watercolorsDstarted his retirement life at the age of seventy52How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?AVery enjoyable BA bit
