Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”. Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket. Several differences between organic and non?organic foods exist. The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.
Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming：
Conventional farmers Organic farmers
Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth. Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.
Apply insecticide to reduce pests and disease. Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease.
Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and promote growth. Give animals organic foods and allow them access to the outdoors. Use preventive measures—such as a balanced diet and clean housing—to help minimize disease.
*Organic or not Check the label
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $ 5，000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.
If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。“有机食品”一词对我们来说耳熟能详。但有机食物和普通的食物在农业生产过程中到底有怎样的差异，并不是每一个人都很清楚。
1．The main purpose of the passage is to________．
A．promote the sales of organic foods
B．inform people that organic foods are better for their health
C．compare conventional and organic foods

A．improve the quality of the soil and water
B．take the place of the traditional agriculture entirely
C．prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively

3．Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?
A．Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.

A．is not meant for produce of all producers
B．makes it a must to attach a USDA Organic label

B
Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than 20 books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen. Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha. Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curving Sky.
By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
An average 30?year?old person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30，000 meals to date. Even if you've only eaten half that much have to admit this:you've let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact:30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U．N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
That's the weight of more than 8.6 million full?grown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. That's as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food thrown into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable, isn't it?
Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. On average, a person in European and North American countries wastes between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. Sub?Saharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less—between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.
Here's another statistic:all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that sub?Saharan Africa produces. The numbers:222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.
And my own personal tip:if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告，目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。
1．What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Possible to imagine.
B．Impossible to change.
C．Impossible to understand.
D．Possible to understand.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物——蓝鲸的重量，也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机——空中客车A380的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的国家——中国，人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的，深不可测的”。
2．It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support_________．
A．half the people in Europe
B．most people of America
C．most people of Asia
D．most people of Africa
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent.”可推知，富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。
3．The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that_________.
A．he was once very poor
B．he was once a farmer
C．he once worked in a restaurant
D．the price of food is very high
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid.”可知，作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。
4．What is the purpose of this article?
A．To show the author's opinion of food.
B．To let us live more wisely and not waste food.
C．To show the amount of wasted food a year.
D．To ask the richest countries to help African people.
解析：选B 写作意图题。根据第一段倒数第二句“And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact:30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost.”和最后一段最后两句“There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.”可推知，文章的写作目的在于让人们不要浪费食物，要更明智地生活。
