Organic food (有机食品) is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as inorganic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and inorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and inorganic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

I’m a girl in my late twenties and I live in New York. I go from my 8-hour-a-day full-time job to my part-time job, where I work for at least 4 hours if I'm lucky. I have half an hour to get from one job to the next, and I spend that time driving to the job, changing into my uniform, and eating if I have time. Even on weekends, I work anywhere from 4-9 hours per day at my part-time job.
Every time I hang out with my friends or family, I’m never fully present. I’m either exhausted (精疲力竭的) or worried about my work. And when I’m with my family, everyone says that I work too much and should pay attention to my health. While I always argue that working hard is extremely valuable and admirable, I also believe that we all need to stop and smell the roses. Throughout the chaos (混乱) of my busy life, however, I’ve forgotten to do just that. Work has kept me so busy that I’ve missed everything that’s right in front of me.
Now, I’m making an effort to be present. I leave my phone in my purse when I’m with my friends and only take it out to take a few pictures. Sometimes, I go to a concert, watch movies or take a holiday to treat myself. I visit friends I haven’t seen for a while or try to call them, so we can talk for hours and catch up. And I make an effort to spend time with loved ones who I know won’t be around forever and I get to know the younger ones. Right now, I’m learning to do everything that makes me happy. I’m completely not guilty about my work-life balance because I know that enjoying life is truly worth my time.

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二自然段“While I always argue that working hard is extremely valuable and admirable, I also believe that we all need to stop and smell the roses. Throughout the chaos (混乱) of my busy life, however, I’ve forgotten to do just that.”(虽然我总是说努力工作是非常宝贵和令人钦佩的，但我也认为我们都需要停下来享受生活。然而，在我忙碌而混乱的生活中，我忘记了这一点。)可知，这里的代词that指代的是上文中的“we all need to stop and smell the roses.”（谚语：忙里偷闲，享受生活）。故选B项。

【答案】B
【解析】

37. “Running Man” is a Chinese reality TV show broadcast on Zhejiang Television, ________85 million viewers every week.
A. attract B. attracted C. to attract D. attracting
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：《奔跑吧兄弟》是浙江卫视播出的一档中国真人秀节目，每周吸引8500万观众。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。逻辑主语“Running Man” 与attract之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故选D。

A. is written; buying B. writes; to be bought
C. writes; buying D. wrote; being bought
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主动表被动。句意：这支笔很好用，我认为值得买。谓语动词write和主语pen之间虽然是被动关系，但表示“写得好”通常用主动形式表被动，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，故第一个空直接用单三形式writes；be worth doing是固定短语，意为“（某事）值得（被）做”，后跟动名词用主动形式表示被动含义，故第二个空用动名词buying作宾语。故选C项。

C. To be improved D. Having improved
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：改进了方法后，汤姆确信他的实验会成功。动词improve和逻辑主语Tom之间是主动关系，且improve表示先于was sure之前发生的动作，应用现在分词的完成式作状语。故选D。

A. to question B. questioned C. questioning D. to be questioned
【答案】B

Organic food (有机食品) is very popular It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as inorganic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and inorganic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.
Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.

Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious (有营养的) This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers (消费者) believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and inorganic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

I’m a girl in my late twenties and I live in New York. I go from my 8-hour-a-day full-time job to my part-time job, where I work for at least 4 hours if I'm lucky. I have half an hour to get from one job to the next, and I spend that time driving to the job, changing into my uniform, and eating if I have time. Even on weekends, I work anywhere from 4-9 hours per day at my part-time job.
Every time I hang out with my friends or family, I’m never fully present. I’m either exhausted (精疲力竭的) or worried about my work. And when I’m with my family, everyone says that I work too much and should pay attention to my health. While I always argue that working hard is extremely valuable and admirable, I also believe that we all need to stop and smell the roses. Throughout the chaos (混乱) of my busy life, however, I’ve forgotten to do just that. Work has kept me so busy that I’ve missed everything that’s right in front of me.
Now, I’m making an effort to be present. I leave my phone in my purse when I’m with my friends and only take it out to take a few pictures. Sometimes, I go to a concert, watch movies or take a holiday to treat myself. I visit friends I haven’t seen for a while or try to call them, so we can talk for hours and catch up. And I make an effort to spend time with loved ones who I know won’t be around forever and I get to know the younger ones. Right now, I’m learning to do everything that makes me happy. I’m completely not guilty about my work-life balance because I know that enjoying life is truly worth my time.
