The water is angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 food miles before it reaches Western customers. transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the OK. It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient（节能）. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of food miles ignores（无视）the amount of fuel used in the production. It 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 one will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.What the idea of food miles provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from First World food markers. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.29 . The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that _.AUK wastes a lot of money importing food productsBsome imported goods cause environmental damageCgrowing certain vegetables causes environmental damageDpeople waste energy buying food from other countries30 . The 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 market31 . By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the another 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 money32 . Which of the following examples can NOT support the Food Commissions idea?AWater.BPrawns.CCarrots.DTomatoes.33 . From the passage we know that the author is most probably _.Aa supporter of free global tradeBa member of an energy development groupCa member of the Food CommissionDa supporter of First World food marketsJack is ten years old this year.
