Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins(来源) 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 farmers 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 didnt 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. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.Whats 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 distancesB . fresh and tasty foodC . difficult climatesD . modern technology（3）The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to _.A . buy more local foodB . travel long distancesC . increase international tradeD . use imported materials23. （6分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。BMy grandfather Jack is 96 years old，and he has had an interesting life.

But again, I didnt get the job.I felt really down. “ Your luck will change,” Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员) if he cant get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. “ What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.On my way home, Moms words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son.

He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: “Dont give money to panhandlers (乞丐）.” So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.I couldnt forget what happened to me that day for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a very cold night, no less, I thought the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I still couldnt help thinking of him.I was the writer of a weekly garden column (专栏）at The Anchorage Daily News. One day, out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens for Beans? Plant a row and take it down to Beans. Clean and simple.We didnt keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. People would call me when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers gave them away. Food for the spirit.In 1995 , the Garden Writers Association of America ( GWAA) held their meeting in Anchorage and alter learning of Anchorages program, Plant a Row for Beans became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry.As more and more people started working with the program, many companies gave free seed to customers and had the logo (商标）seen in public.Garden editor Joan Jackson raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed the public how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms gave away food to their local food bank alter hearing about Plant a Row. Today the program continues to grow.I am shocked that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener inAmerica - and were seventy million strong - plants one row for the hungry, we can make a difference in the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty (愧 疚) about walking past a hungry man I could have helped.（1）Did the writer give money to the hungry man? （2）How did the writer feel alter flying back to Anchorage? （3）What did the writer try to get his readers to do? （4）What did the GWAA do for the “Plant a Row” program? （5）What is the purpose of the program? 四、 句型转换 (共5题；共14分)27. （2分）I got to know Gina three years ago(改为同义句)I_Gina for three years28. （5分）How interesting the movie is! （转换为what引导的感叹句） 29. （3分）Is he your new English teacher?
