Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．A;
解析：

(1)	因果关系判断试题，第二段开头引述了Gold的话：有机食品总是更好的，这种食物中没有农药……而Gold代表了现在英国人购买有机食品的趋势。所以我们能判断出越来越多的英国人买有机食品是因为他们认为这种食品没有污染。
(2)	此题考查考生对于文字信息的变式理解。文章交代，英国有四分之三的有机食品不是当地生产的而是进口而来的，这是为了满足不断增长的需求量。而选项B的意思是：大部分有机食品是在英国外面生产的，意思正好相符。
(3)	此题考查考生的综合把握能力，读完这篇文章后，考生应对短文的主要信息，作者态度有所了解。选项A正好符合作者的写作意图，而且healthy, wealthy是一对押韵的词，放在一起作为文章的题目，既形象也切意。
