Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应) is virtual

41、ly suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay Does it mean that

42、 we need to think less now about producing more food at home No one knows what to expect. The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by

43、 a third. Most of Britains overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen. But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of governmen

44、t support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it. Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that importe

45、d food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they, should not be enabled to benefit from this trend. The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation

46、 have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60

47、 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.Why is there wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain AThe abundant food supply is not expected to last.BBritain is importing less food.CD

AhouseBroomCearsDmind 23.BText 1/B Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food the

58、y eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, ar

59、e vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of ch

60、emicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production o
