18.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.

解答 25.B 推理判断题.从第二段 Gold的话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."可以判断出,人们喜欢绿色食物的原因是因为它们没有受到农药的污染.
26.A 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段倒数第二句And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口)to meet growing demand.说明英国的绿色食物大部分是进口的,即在英国的国外生产的,因此答案选A.
27.C 词义猜测题.根据文章第二段第二行所在句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,人们对organic food越来越感兴趣.因此答案选C.
