　　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 (農(nóng)藥), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally 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 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．

1．More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because________．

[　　]

A．they are getting richer

B．they can get the food anywhere

C．they consider the food free of pollution

D．they like home-grown fruit

2．Which of the following statements is TRUE to the facts a-bout most organic produce sold in Britain?

[　　]

A．It grows indoors all year round．

B．It is produced outside Britain．

C．It is grown on family farms．

D．It is produced on large farms．

3．What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?

　　[]

A．growing interest in organic food

B．better quality of organic food

C．rising market for organic food

D．higher prices of organic food

4．What is the best title for this news story?

[　　]

A．Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy?

B．The making of organic food in Britain

C．Organic food to import or not?

閱讀理解：

　　Suppose we built a robot(機(jī)器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探測(cè)器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(進(jìn)化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否認(rèn))that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢復(fù)功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．

[　　]

A．

the differences between robots and men

B．

the reason why men need to sleep

C．

about the need for robots to save power

D．

about the danger of men working at night

(2)

Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________．

[　　]

A．

keep up a regular pattern of life

B．

prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C．

avoid danger and inefficient labour

D．

restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．

[　　]

A．

are worrying about our safety

B．

are overworked

C．

are in a tent

D．

are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．

[　　]

A．

need more time for restoration

B．

are unlikely to be attackers

C．

axe more active than homes when they are awake

D．

spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．

Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．

B．

The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．

C．

Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．

D．

The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

　　Good health is the most valuable possession a person can have, but one can’t take good health for granted．It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy．There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape：eat the right foods, get enough sleep and exercise regularly．

　　Proper nutrition is important for good health．Your body cannot function well unless it receives the proper kind of“fuel”．Avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat．Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like lean meat, fish, beans and nuts．Vegetables and fruit are especially important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals．However, don’t overeat．It is not healthful to be overweight．

　　Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important．If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel tired and irritable(易怒的)．You have no energy．Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality．Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night．If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp．

　　Finally, get plenty of exercise．Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles and prevents you from gaining weight．It also improves your heart and lungs．If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan(壽命)．Any kind of exercise is good．Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape．Basketball, swimming, bicycling, gymnastics and running are all good examples．Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too．

　　If everybody were to eat the right foods and get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place．We would all live to be much older and wiser．

閱讀理解。
　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest which were too thick to allow us a view of the land we were
passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through
chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed:
where the jungle did not actually spread down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore.
In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous
creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one's way with
knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman
would pick us up and take us to civilization. 　　
     We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat
everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy
the experience: perhaps sea-fish which don't live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back
and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice
cream was a particularly frequent dream.　　
     As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the
water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things
as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result. One day we passed
another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:
we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.
1. The only thing that they could see in the boat was _______. 　　
A. chains of hills 　　　　
B. high walls
C. vast land 　　　　　　　
D. tall trees 　
2. They were prevented from landing because they could not _______. 　　
A. find the place marked on the map 　　 　　
B. go through the thick forest 　　
C. go across the soft mud 　　　　　　　　 　
D. see the plains 　
3. This passage is mainly about ______. 　　
A. the problem of landing 　　　 　
B. a terrible experience 　　
C. walls of forest　　　　　　　　
D. the fishermen's worries 　
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? 　　
A. The author and his partners were trapped during scientific exploration. 　　
B. They were floating on a small boat in the jungle without help. 　　
C. The dirty water they drank didn't threaten their lives. 　　
D. They had no food or drinking water prepared.
