Organic food, grown without artificial c...

    Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels. However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you'd better save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.

For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,  including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.

While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.

Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) states that “whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.

1.What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? ______

A.Organic food helps you save money. B.Organic food contains much more nutrients.

C.Organic food is worth the high price. D.Organic food is not always nutritious.

2.Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that ______

A.organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease

B.traditional food was grown with more natural methods

C.both organic and traditional food they examined were safe

D.there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food

3.Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?

A.Organic chicken and pork B.Organic milk and chicken

C.Traditional chicken and pork D.Traditional fruit and vegetables

4.What is the author's attitude toward organic food ______

A.Doubtful B.Unconcerned C.Positive D.Supportive

 

1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A 【解析】 本文为说明文。作者由人们花很多钱去购买有机食品入题,提出有机食品并不是真的比传统食品更好。并引用专家的调查结果证实有机食品并未比传统食品有更好的营养成分。 1. 句意猜测题。根据上文Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels.可知如今,不使用人工化学物质的有机食品越来越受欢迎。消费者愿意花两倍的钱购买带有有机标签的商品。However表示转折,可知下文的内容与之相反,由此可知,划线部分表达的意思就是这种有机产品并不一定就是更有营养,值得花两倍的钱。故D项“有机食品并不总是有营养的”符合题意,故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.可知虽然研究人员发现有机水果和蔬菜的营养成分几乎没有差别,但他们确实发现有机水果和蔬菜表面残留化学物质的可能性降低了20%。有机食品和传统食品的化学成分含量都没有高到超出食品安全标准。由此可知,Smith-Spangler和她的同事发现他们检测的有机和传统食品都是安全的。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段中The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.可知研究人员确实发现,有机牛奶和鸡肉中omega-3脂肪酸的含量较高。omega-3脂肪酸是一种健康脂肪,也存在于鱼类中,可以降低患心脏病的风险。由此可知,有机牛奶和鸡肉相对更健康。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据第一段中However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you'd better save your money.可知然而,如果你认为花更多的钱买有机食品可以让你得到更有营养和更安全的产品,那么你最好节约你的钱。以及最后一段中The U. S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) states that “whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.可知美国农业部(USDA)表示,“无论你买不买有机食品,找到最新鲜的食物可能对味道影响最大。”新鲜食品至少和任何被标榜为有机食品的东西一样好。由此可推知,作者在第一段提出人们不值得花过多的钱去买有机食品,作者认为有机食品并不总是转化为更有营养或更健康的产品。并用美国农业部的观点来证明:新鲜的食品至少与有机食品一样好。可知作者是质疑的态度。故选A。

When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

1.Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.

A.to show his magical power. B.to pay for the delivery

C.to satisfy his curiosity. D.to please his mother.

2.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?

A.He wanted to have tea there.

B.He was a respectable person.

C.He was treated as a family member.

D.He was fully trusted by the family.

3.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?

A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.

B.It has been driven out of the market.

C.Its service is getting poor.

D.It is forbidden by law.

4.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?

A.He missed the good old days.

B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.

C.He missed it for his milk bottles.

D.He planted flowers in it.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Mr. Taylor checked again: water, food, bandage, medicines, a compass, and a map wrapped in plastic... Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.

Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. “It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely.” he whispered to himself, unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.

Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(喷雾防虫剂). Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward(懦夫).

“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. “You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!”

It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.

“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. “That’s not true!” Joel shouted back.

Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. “And both of you need to stop arguing!” he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path.

Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.

Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.
