（2） LONDON (Reuters) — Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food. “Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides（农药）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business. 1. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because_______. A. they are getting richer B. they can get the food anywhere C. they consider the food free of pollution D. they like home-grown fruit 2. Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain? A. It grows indoors all year round. B. It is produced outside Britain. C. It is grown on family farms. D. It is produced on large farms. 3. What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text? A. growing interest in organic food B. better quality of organic food C. rising market for organic food D. higher prices of organic food 4. What is the best title for this news story? A. Organic food— healthy, or just for the wealthy? B. The making of organic food in Britain C. Organic food— to import or not? D. Good qualities of organic food 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. A 1. Gold 的话代表了英国消费者的认识，“… The food is free of pesticides…”也就是：they consider the food free of pollution. 2. 短文中与Most organic produce sold in Britain产地相关的内容，排除干扰选项，选定最佳答案。 3. 本题四个选项中均包含organic food（与主题相关，错误选项因而会构成干扰），但从所在句看，buying into the organic trend的主语是(a growing number of) shoppers，越来越多的人开始购买这种食品，当然意味着(the shoppers) have shown a growing interest in organic food。选项A表达的正是这样一种形势，应为最佳答案。 4. Organic food--- healthy（虽与人们所知有些出入，但大体如此）；or just for the wealthy?短文中有shoppers are willing to pay a higher price for organic produce，与此相符。 （3） THEATRE City Varieties The Headrow, Leeds.

Sure Townsend首先出现在第二段里： a comedy by Sue Townsend…，Townsend now writes about…；这一人名还出现在最后一段里：Sure Townsend’s musical play, based on her best-selling book。这样一些关于上演剧目的背景交待足以说明Sue Townsend的身份，应该是writer。 |
