20.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.

分析 这篇新闻报导了有机食品的优点,在英国人们对于有机食品的需求量正在增长,人们对有机食品的知识还不完整,如对有机产品的农药使用量、为满足需求有机食品的进口数量.有机食品是一个增长非常快的市场.
解答 25.B 该题考查转换理解.试题B项中的they consider the food free of pollution和短文第二段中The food is free of pesticides只不过是同一意思的不同表达法而已.越来越多的英国人在购买有机食品是因为这种食品无污染或无农药,最佳答案选B.
26.A 这是一道事实询问题.该题询问四个选项中哪种说法符合关于在英国销售的大部分有机产品的事实.短文第二段中And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand说明,在英国销售的大部分有机产品产于英国之外,A为最佳选项.
27.C 该题考查对词组意义的正确理解.根据短文第二段中该词组前面Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers及词组后and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.可以推断出,在短文中使用的词组"the organic trend"的意思是在有机食品方面不断增长的兴趣,故答案选C.
