Passage 2(2015 南京，D) 

      Nowadays,the food that you buy comes from many different countries.Have a look in your fridge,cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源) of the food.Perhaps there are apples yBB from California,lamb from New Zealand,or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey,from u field to plate”，is called“food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the food.Nowa?days,food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer ( 费者) .Why is this,and what are the effects (影响) of these long dis?tances?

      Traditionally,farmers sold their food in the local market,so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food.This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However,there were some disadvantages. For example,consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition,they could only get food that was in season. Now,because of modern technology,food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes.They are available in winter if we want.

      Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ,for example,gets 85% of its food from other countries.Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.

      Whafs wrong withu food milesIs this not a good way of in?creasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all,because food travels such long dis?tances,we need more planes,lorries,and ships to move the food.This means we use more oil or petrol,so there is more pollution and more global (全球的) wanning.In addition,food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty.Tomatoes,for example,are picked early and stored for their long journeys.For this reason,they are usu?ally tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste,and it also reduces the amount of global pollution.We need to buy more local food.

 A. The origins of the food.

    That day [ went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored.Then,as my mum stopped at a red light,someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛) .He was homeless.That didn't interest me,for I had seen many like him before.

    Bui in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down vvilh a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music.The radio seemed to be tiie most pre- cious (珍贵) thing he had.

    “Mum,why does that man have a radio even though (尽管) he's homeless?” I asked.

    He bought il,she replied. I was still unable to understand. But if he's homeless,why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need."

    Well,Sarah,sometimes food and clothes aren't the most impor?tant things.We need happiness,too.^

    The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food and clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it,there's nothing to look forward Lo.

Passage 6( 2014 江苏常州，D) 

    For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened,and there was nothing special about it.Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at.It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.One way is being unselfish,not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points,not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

    You do not have to be spineless (优束寡断的) in order to be popular.In fact,you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正当行为) .Bui do it politely ami pleasantly.Being friendly and polite to your gioup,to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

    You cannot expect to be perfect,and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes.Everyone makes mistakes,and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心丧气的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness,laziness,and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺点） and have to fight against them.

    At the same time,it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others,the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong,it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate.Try to see why,and look at yourself,too,to he sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day,things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation,without thinking too much about it. Wor?rying never helps in a situation you cannot change. 


l. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with oth?ers is to  .

  A. work hard at everything we do 

  B. enjoy the best share of everything 

  C. look for treasure in order to be successful 

  D. pay more attention to their strong points

2. If a person wants to be popular,he or she has to    .

  A. be polite and friendly

  B. give up some rights 

  C. get away arguing with other people 

  D. be ready to change his or her character 

3. No person but someone should he blamed if he or she    .

  A. is modest and generous 

  B. does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake 

  C. is selfish and lazy 

  D. is very unhappy with unpleasant quality

  A. train you to be perfect 

  B. show you the way to be happy

Passage 10( 2013 四川成都)

    What makes a group smart and able to solve problems successfully and produce good solutions? Or we may ask ： what makes a group intelligent? A group's IQ (智商) ，we might think,would be simply ihe average intelligence (平均智力) of the group's members,or perhaps the intelligence of the group's smartest member. But some scientists have found that this isn’t so.

    A group's intelligence comes out from communications that go on within the group.A group's intelligence can be calculated,and like the IQ grades of a single person,and it can predict the group^ performance on lots of kinds of tasks perfectly.Just like a single person's intelligence can be trained and developed,a group^ intelligence can also he increased.Here are some suggestions on how to guide the development of smart groups ：

    Personally,you can choose group members carefully. The smartest groups are made up of people who are good at reading one another's social signs. And then it's better for you to talk about the 44howGroups who take the time to discuss how they will work together are more well-organized and successful.

    As a group member,it is also very important for you to share (分 享) the floor in the formal (正式的) meetings.The members who just control the discussion or who stay away and don't say much make the intelligence of the group lower. But in the smart group,members connect directly with each other,not just with the group leader.They always take an active part in every small conversation that could be added to the main discussion.Outside of formal meetings,the smartest groups spend a lot of time communicating,too.All members can havea coffee break at the same time,leading them to do their work more professionally and feel more pleased with their jobs.
