Question

What is green food? Do you enjoy green food every day? The concept of “green food” was first suggested by the Department of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1990.

Green symbolizes life, health and energy. Nowadays, people demand healthy and fresh food. Having enough food to eat is only a basic requirement, and they need more than this. They want to enjoy unpolluted, safe and nutritious food and eat comfortably. So the government does this through a set of “from the land to the dinner table” quality controls. It requires to change China’s traditional agricultural structures and ensure the food of high quality.

Safe vegetables refers to products without substances harmful to humans. Growing such vegetables requires no strong poisons, thus guaranteeing vegetables fresh and clean. There are strict regulations in place for even applying fertilizer(肥料). The examination of vegetables should reach the state food hygiene(卫生) standard. The following conditions for green food are regulated by the China Green Food Development Center. Firstly, products or raw materials must reach the green ecological environment standard set by the Ministry of Agriculture. Secondly, crop planting, livestock raising, fish breeding and food processing must follow green food operating procedures set by the Ministry. Products must be up to the green food hygiene standard. External packing must be pasted with national standard universal labels, special green food packing decoration and tag regulations.

However, by now, our goal hasn’t been completely realized. When you return home with a full basket, you are still worried about whether what you have bought is green and healthy. Indeed, for the sake of our health, we still have a long way to go.

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】C

【小题3】A

【小题4】B

解析:

8. 【小题1】根据文章大意可知，绿色食品指的是健康食品，并不是说食品的颜色是绿色的，也不是特指蔬菜，故A项和B项错误；根据文章第三段“strict regulations in place for even applying fertilizer”，可知对绿色食品的施肥有严格的限制，并不是说不必施肥，故C项错误；根据文章第三段可知绿色食品需要经过一系列检验，故D项正确。

9. 【小题2】根据文章第三段可知，绿色食品不能造成生物破坏，需要符合食品管理程序，需要达到卫生标准，故A、B、D项都符合，根据第三段最后一句话可知绿色食品的包装上需要有特殊的标志，而不是说食品本身需要有标记，故C项说法错误。

10. 【小题3】根据全文可知，农业部应该负责农产品的生产，监督以及管理等，A项合适。

11. 【小题4】通读全文可知，本文主要讲述绿色食品工程，故B项最符合。
