You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plateThis 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 foodNowadays, 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 farThe consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the foodThis was a good system for farmers and consumersHowever, there were some disadvantagesFor example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locallyIn addition, they could only get food that was in seasonNow, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the worldWe do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoesThey are available in winter if we wantSome countries have to import(进口) most of their foodThis is because they have difficult climatesThe United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countriesEven food made in the UAE often uses imported materialsWhats wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasonsFirst of all, because food travels such long distanceswe need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the foodThis means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warmingIn addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tastyTomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeyFor this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumerLocal food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollutionWe need to buy more local food（1）What is called “food miles” according to this passage?A . The origins of the foodB . The effects of long distancesC . The journey from field to plateD . The disadvantages of imported food（2）The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_”A . easy to getB . not busyC . willing to talkD . impossible to get（3）Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of _A . long distancesB . difficult climatesC . fresh and tasty foodD . modern technology（4）The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to _A . buy more local foodB . increase international tradeC . travel long distancesD . use imported materials（5）This passage is mainly about _A . how local food travels from field to plateB . what “food miles” is and its effectsC . how some countries import their foodD . where different kinds of food come from24. （8分）阅读理解Dear Sunday Globe，I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sundays newspaperYou did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones，but you didnt talk about their bad points at allSo，I hope youll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette （礼仪）The first point Id like to address is loudnessWhen you talk on your smartphone in public，please dont shoutIn fact，the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive （灵敏的）So，you can be heard even if you speak quietlyAnother point is about personal spaceI dont think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of peopleThis makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal businessWhats worse，it stops many facetoface conversations from ever beginningLastly，doing two things at the same time is dangerousFor example，making calls while driving is a bad habitPay attention to the road!Similarly，when staying with your friends，turn off your smartphone and enjoy their companyYours truly，Amber Jala（1）Amber Jala wrote the letter to A . find a good jobB . provide adviceC . make her life easierD . buy a smartphone（2）What does the underlined wordaddressin Paragraph 2 probably mean？A . 致函B . 称呼C . 陈述D . 选址（3）According to Paragraph 3，what makes people around you uncomfortable？A .
