(B)
Many Chinese people who have been to the United States think that Americans pay a little part of their money for food each day. Yet, in the latest 13 years, food prices have gone up 30% for most American families. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But who is really responsible（有责任的）?
Many people say the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, and eggs are responsible. But farmers say that the rise in food prices is very small compared to (和…相比) the rise in their cost of living. Farmers think middlemen（中间人）have got much more money than they do. Middlemen are those people who stand between the farmers and the people who buy and eat the food. For example, truck drivers, owners of food stores and so on. Are middlemen really responsible for higher food prices?
Economists（经济学家）don’t think so. They have found that the money that meat packers（包装商）and food stores get is less than 1% in all. They say that food costs more now because modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They have less time for cooking after a day’s work. They like to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market. They want to buy many kinds of food that can be put on their dining tables easily and quickly. But of course they must be prepared to pay for the services of those who make their work easier.
It seems that the answer to the question of rising prices is not an easy one. Quite a number of people share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.
( ) 6. Farmers speak for themselves because _____.
A. the middlemen have had the biggest share of profit（利润）
B. the cost of their products have risen sharply too
C. their cost of living has gone up a lot, too
D. they’ve got very little in the rise of food prices
( ) 7. Economists blame (责怪) _____.
A. farmers B. middlemen C. housewives D. storeowners
( ) 8. What’s the writer’s opinion (观点)?
A. He agrees with the economists.
B. He doesn’t think farmers are responsible.
C. He thinks the middlemen might get a lot of profit.
D. He thinks all those people should be responsible.
( ) 9. The underlined sentence means the food prices have gone up _____.
A. quickly and carefully B. suddenly and greatly
C. clearly and naturally D. angrily and seriously
( ) 10. Which of the following is a middleman?
A. A farmer B. A shopkeeper C. A housewife D. An economist

七、任务型阅读 （10%）
A long story about people is usually called a novel. It can be about any kind of man, woman, or child. It can be about kings, or Chicago newsboys, or housewives. The French writer, Victor Hugo, wrote his novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole (偷) a loaf of bread. The American writer, Ernest Hemingway, wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War One.
? A novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. The modern Irish writer, James, Joyce, covers less than twenty-four hours in Ulysses. Yet, Joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. A German writer, Herman Hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel Demian to cover a boy’s life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man.
? A novel does not just tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Badge of Courage, by the American novelist, Stephen Crane, tells about a young soldier who runs away the first time he is in the war. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering (精神折磨) until he overcomes his fears.
? People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. The novel meets the human desire (欲望) to know and understand other people.

九、 Hi, boys and girls. Next Friday is our school Reading Day. Have you been reading these days?
Now many students spend too much time surfing the Internet, watching Korean TV series and playing computer games. Why not spend more time reading books?
Reading can not only make us clever and smart but also help us get more knowledge. And it’s also helpful to make us grow happily.
We should go to the library as much as possible. We should try to read many good books. I think the more books we read, the better we will become.
