阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Over the past few years, people seem to have become tired of being told what they can't eat．They also have taken too much advice that doesn't seem effective．They want to hear messages about healthy food．They are understandably worried about some food industry practices and problems．

　　The food industry puts money-making first．Buyers and companies have been less informed on food safety than they should have been．The result is human cost has been high．

　　The food industry defends(保卫)itself．It says that it tries to provide as good a product as possible at low prices, as cost is a major consideration in buying food．It is the buyers who are to blame．They are waking up to the hidden costs of cheaper food．Chicken burgers, for example, may have only a little chicken in them．

　　The increasing organic(有机的)food market shows that people are prepared to pay more for fruits and vegetables that haven't been grown purely(纯的)for its outside look and money business．

　　There is now a new kind of food called functional food．It contains so-called beneficial(有益的)additives(添加剂), such as fruit drinks with added Vitamin C．It is believed that adding this makes a product healthier．In fact, this unnatural food will become a problem in the future．

　　If a mother-to-be wants to protect her unborn baby from illness, she needs to eat a special breakfast to which certain additives have been added．Yet she can get these things much more cheaply from other healthier foods, like orange juice or green vegetables．We shouldn't be led to believe that we need to eat these“special,”expensive products to be healthy when most of the good things we need are found in cheaper natural foods．

　　I buy as much fresh organic food as possible．I believe that future studies will show that eating organically will make us healthier．I also enjoy them more and feel strongly like supporting the organic farmer's cause．

Tragedy at the Circus

In yesterday’s circus（马戏团）show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on even without tigers.

However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy(悲剧),animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利润)of circus organizers.

It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.

*******************************

Circus Safe for Animals

Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”

First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems，we always believe humans and animals can—and should—live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species(物种),and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.

This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.

1.What is the main purpose of the first passage?

A. To show pity for the performing animals.

B. To express worries about animal trainers' safety.

C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.

D. To call for action to protect circus animals.

2.What will the circus most probably do?

A. Take no notice of the tragedy.

B. Continue its performances.

C. Use fewer wild animals.

D. Limit its profit.

3.What does the circus think of its performing animals?

A. They are as clever as human beings.

B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.

C. They are helpful in saving their species.

D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.

4.What is the most probable relationship between the two passages?

A. A public request and a newspaper report.

　　B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.

C. Two parts of a newspaper article.

D. Two newspaper reports.

　　Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word：radiation．

　　Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses．It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us．There are other things like that．For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver．Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector．But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things．

　　At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright(全部地)by killing masses of cells in vital organs．But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage．There is no level of radiation that is completely safe．If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant．This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones．But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble．They reproduce themselves in a deformed way．They can grow into cancer．Sometimes this does not show up for many years．

　　This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation．Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred．A person can be irradiated(照射)and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result．Or a child can be born weak or liable(易于)to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents．

　　Radiation can hurt us．We must know the truth．

(1)

[　　]

[　　]
A．	We can't detect radioactivity even with modern equipment．
B．	Only radiation at very high levels can damage an animal or human being．
C．	If all cells are damaged healthy cells will take the place of them．
D．	Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is．

(4)

What's the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
[　　]
A．	Discussing the cause of cancer．
