题目内容

9．In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term"Slow Food，"he organized locally in his　native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food．
Today，slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85，000 members，addressing　worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship-the actions people take to　respect the rights of all living things and all environments，to contribute to healthy and livable　communities．
Characterized by Slow Food International as"good，clean，and fair food，"slow food must　enrich the eaters life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensate　fairly for food producers'work．
The average American meal travels about 1500 miles to its final destination，with producing of　food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country
However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food　industry that the environment faces．Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like　inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity．Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional，but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature^ways of doing things．A great　many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to　oversimplify natures complexities，at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain．
‘Slowing"food，by purchasing locally and sustainably，allows consumers to reduce the　impact of"food miles"and develop a closer relationship with their food producers．"We need to　change our food system，"said David Prior，organizer of Slow Food Nation奂 Eat-In．"Our current　food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the　right to nutritious food．"
60．The main idea of the passage can be summarized asA
A．why slow food is so important
B．the food and wine culture is rich in Italy
C．what you re eating always travels a long way
D．slow food makes the current food system sick
61．According Io the second paragraph，environmental stewardship refers toD．
A．measures of environmental protections
B．ways to establish healthy and livable communities
C．peoples admiration for all the creatures on the earth
D．actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment
62．Slow foods characteristic doesn't lie inD．
A．improving the quality of eaters life
B．providing a fair pay for food workers
C．being friendly to human and environmental health
D．developing a loose relationship with food producers
63．What is David Priors attitude towards current food system？B
A．Suspicious　　　B．Unsatisfied C．Indifferent D．Supportive．

分析 本文的作者告诉我们，如果想吃得更健康、更营养，那就提倡"慢食物"吧！

解答 60．A　主旨大意题．本文主要探讨"慢食物"的重要性，以及"慢食物"给人们带来的好处，故答案选A项．
61．D　细节理解题．从第二段中的"environmental stewardship-the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things  and all environments"可知，环境管理（environmental stewardship）的内容就是"破折号"后的解释，即"人们尊重所有生物和环境的权利的行动"，故D项正确．
62．D　细节理解题．从第三段可知，"慢食物运动"的特色就在于改善饮食者的饮食质量；不对人类健康和环境卫生产生副作用；给食物供应商以合理的报酬．D项则没有提到，故答案选D项．
63．B　推理判断题．从最后一段David Prior所说的话可知，他认为当前的食物系统很糟糕，需要改进，所以他的态度应该是不满意的（unsatisfied）．A项表示"怀疑的"；C项表示"漠不关心的"；D项表示"支持的"，都不符合语境．

点评 阅读理解考查考生对书面语篇的整体领悟能力和接受及处理具体信息的能力．在进行推理判断时，一定要以阅读材料所提供的事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的常识．

17．Running like the wind，roaring like thunder，tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world．But last week a report said that there are no more than 30wild tigers left in south China．
This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund．
The South China tiger，also known as the Chinese tiger，is native to southern China．In the 1950's，there were over 4000tigers found in mountain forests in the country．But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting，it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species．
Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China．But they are nothing like their wild cousins．They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing．If they were set free they could not look after themselves．
"Breeding has damaged the quality of the species"，said Pei Enle，deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo．
To reintroduce the species into the wild，the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa．Four of them have already arrived．Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts（本能）and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
"South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild．The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in"，said Lu Jun，office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center．"We tried in Fujian Province，but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco-chain（生物链） and there was a lack of space．"
The tigers should return to China in 2007when the reservations in Fujian are ready．

71．What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species？D
A．Because it has lost its natural instincts．
B．Because there is not a complete eco-chain．
C．Because there is no space for it．
D．Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions．
72．How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on？C
A．Its effect still remains to be seen．
B．Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins．
C．Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills．
D．The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007．
73．By saying"but they are nothing like their wild cousins"，the writer means thatB．
A．they are no longer feared by other wild animals
B．they don't know how to hunt or kill
C．a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
D．to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
74．What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa？A
A．To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild．
B．To provide them with a better environment．
C．To get the tigers to go on a tour．
D．To find a complete eco-chain for them．
75．Which one is not the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place？A
A．Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．
B．Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers．
C．Because there is a complete eco-chain and enough space there．
D．Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in．
4．From a very early age，some children exhibit better self-control than others．Now，a new study that began with about 1，000children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals．"
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed  1，000children from birth to age 32in Dunedin，New Zealand．
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，"Moffitt said，"and they had the worst financial situation．They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．"Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．

66．From the first two paragraphs we learn thatB．
A．the research has been carried out for five years
B．self-control in kids tends to determine their future

14．Japan's nuclear crisis（危机）has caused global alarm and reviews of safety at atomic power plants around the world．
"Japan's nuclear crisis was mainly public panic，not radiation risk"，an Australian expert，Michele Kearney，remained cheerful about the future development of international nuclear industry．
Professor Barry Brook，the director of Climate Science at Australian University，said that the crisis will lead international governments to improve measures to protect nuclear plants against extreme natural events，but is unlikely to cut down the use of nuclear power．
"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical，not nuclear，"Brook said，adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated，the food that they eat，and the rocks the air and the sunlight，all of that are natural radiation they experienced．"
Graham Andrew，an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency （IAEA） said，"To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan，there must be a high regard  given to matters of safety．"
Denis Flory，an IAEA vice director-general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security，said，"What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture，with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards，so these are  two aspects which must go hand-in-hand and which must go together with a very strong transparency （透明） process．"
Flory said he believes that since Fukushima，more and more people have considered that strong safety measures are"the only way forward"when it comes to developing nuclear energy．
Currently，the IAEA's nuclear safety standards are not a must for member states．However，if a member state is receiving IAEA technical cooperation support，it is required to adopt the agency's safety standards．
It will likely take some time to come to lasting agreements on how nuclear safety must develop，but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards．

70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．It is impossible to cut down the use of nuclear power．

C．Member states of the IAEA have to adopt the agency's safety standards．
D．A minister-level conference is being held to discuss stronger safety standards．
1．The US government has started a website，Admongo，to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them．It claims to provide visitors with an"education"through games and other entertainment．
       A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo．"Call me Haiz"，he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it．Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising．
       Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities．Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers．
       The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things：To identify the advertiser．To know what the advertiser is really saying．And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do．
       Children learn these things through a video game．They create their own game character．They can choose different skin colors，hair styles，eye and mouth shapes．Then they begin a trip through ad-land，where there are ads on buses and billboards．The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level．
       The Admongo game takes players inside a home，to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found．It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing．
       One such area is food marketing．The Federal Trade Commission（FTC） says it is a big business．The FTC estimates that food，drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009．
       The FTC says children are important for three reasons．They buy products．They influence parents and caregivers to buy．And they are the future adult buyers of the products．
       A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value．First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children．
66．What is the best title of the text？B
A．The guide of Admongo                     
B．An education website for children
C．A popular online video game              
D．A website aimed at children
67．Why did the government start the website？C
A．To attract the biggest market of buyers．
B．To sell the products of its company．
C．To help children know about advertising．
D．To advertise the video game for children．
68．What can players do in the website game？A
A．Choose hair styles for their character．
B．Travel to a supermarket．
C．Eat in a fast-food restaurant．
D．Play video games during the trip．
69．Children are important for advertising because they areB．
A．important for the society                   
B．the most potential buyers
C．easily influenced by ads                    
D．easily affected by poor products
70．According to Michelle Obama，lots of food advertised for children areD．

18．My wife is addicted（沉溺） to shopping on the Internet．（61）Itseems that she can't control herself well，just clicking with the mouse．Let me tell you what happened last night．It was the（62）third（three） time that she had shopped online for hours．I had already reminded her  （63）to think（think） twice before buying anything，（64）but my wife ignored（65）whatI said and replied confidently，"With the New Year approaching，preparation is necessary．（66）Besides（Beside），I haven't bought things on the Internet for a whole week．"（67）Hearing （hear） her words，I was really speechless．
In most cases，the things she bought aren't good value for money．Maybe she just enjoys（68）the process（过程）of buying online．
With the development of technology，online shopping is becoming more and more convenient．In the meanwhile，it causes a series of（69）problems（problem）．People are（70）easily（easy） attracted by the discount．So how to keep a good state of mind in front of temptation （诱惑） is an important lesson many people need to learn．
