【题目】阅读理解。
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 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 “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者).Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long distances?
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.
What's wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances. 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) warming. 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 journey. For this reason, they are usually 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.
(1)What is called “food miles” according to this passage?
A.The origins of the food.
B.The journey from field to plate.
C.The effects of long distances.
D.The disadvantages of imported food.
(2)Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____.
A.long distances
B.fresh and tasty food
C.difficult climates
D.modern technology
(3)The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______.
A.buy more local food
B.travel long distances
C.increase international trade
D.use imported materials

【题目】阅读短文,根据短文内容及首字母提示,在空白处填入一个适当的单词,必要时进行词形变化。 I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made preparations for the t for the last few days, and I expected to get r for several days.
As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.
How to keep in touch with your kids when you' re busy or far away is a dilemma (两难的问题) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long period, but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn't always an easy thing. And if you don' t s your kids that you're thinking about them, they may think that you don' t care.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to t back to my house and wrote a short message on a c of cards to each of my children. I put each in a "secret" place where I knew they'd find it.
When I called the next night, they both said excitedly," Daddy, I got your card. When did you do that?"
I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing had a big influence on my kids. It proved(证明) that they were in my h. And distance (距离) couldn't separate them from their f. To my satisfaction, they feel "love" of their father. This v experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.
As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay l attention to the small things. Don't miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.
Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won' t s small to them.

【题目】根据短文内容,选择正确答案。
"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good.
