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 from18. （8分）阅读理解Please sit down and enjoy your meal. Just dont talk about it.These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as silent dinners. It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices. Instead, the idea is to just on the food.Silent dinner parties are fast growing, said Honi Ryan, who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries, including Germany, Australia andthe United States. The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it.According to a 2013 nation wide survey, restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客） complaints. And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out.Though silent dinners may seem curious, the idea is not a new one. Yogis（瑜伽信徒） have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice. In fact, it was a trip to a temple（寺庙） in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming.Well make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour, said EAT Green point owner Jordan Colon. And background music will be turned off, too.Its funny; when I first opened EAT, I didnt play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映） to that, said Colon. Some people who come out to eat are ready to party, but it was so quiet without music. But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed.Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various, in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards, said Ryan. At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence. But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh.（1）The first paragraph is written to be a（n）_ .A . conclusionB . introductionC . argumentD . warning（2）At silent dinner parties，people should not _.A . leave before they finish eatingB . just pay attention to the foodC . use a mobile phone or listen to musicD . take electronic devices to the party（3）What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?A . Silent meals help people live longer.B . Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners.C . More and more people like eating in silence.D . The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago.（4）In Jordan Colons opinion，silent dinners _.A . make people comfortable and relaxedB . are hard to be accepted by most peopleC . can help him to attract more customersD . provide a chance to get to know others19. （6分） Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we dont talk to someone, well certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didnt have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, theyll be angry!”But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesnt need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So youre halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!（1）Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?A . What can they do about this?B . Where do the problems come from?C . When did they have these problems?D . Why do they have so many problems?（2）In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to _.A . answer a questionB . give an exampleC . introduce his friendD . share his experience（3）According to the passage Robert Hunt might be _.A . Lauras teacherB . the writer of the passageC . a person with a problemD . an expert on students problems四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共5分)20. （5分）将下文中的英文译成中文，中文译成英文。I have a lot of friends. 我最好的朋友是Mary。She is a 16- year- old girl. .She is 2 years older than me.
