　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解(建議用時(shí)16′)

　　A

　　[2024·揭陽(yáng)一中檢測(cè)]Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.

　　Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

　　A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.

　　A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

　　“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.

　　“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”

　　本文講的是Florida International University舉辦的一種特殊活動(dòng)，即穿著自己設(shè)計(jì)的水鞋走過(guò)一個(gè)175尺長(zhǎng)的湖。

　　1．For what purpose did the students take part in the race?

　　A．To go across the lake to school.

　　B．To test their balance on the water.

　　C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.

　　A．show his approval of the unique teaching style

　　B．report an interesting assignment

　　[2024·山東實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)檢測(cè)]Families should not waste their money on organic food, the government has warned. They should instead spend their money on whatever they can afford, even if it means eating frozen vegetables. The government now faces calls to end ￡20 million of subsidies to organic farming.

　　A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition found organic crops have up to 60 percent more antioxidants (抗氧化物) than non-organic crops. But critics claim there is still no evidence that organic food is a healthier option. Amid growing concern that too few people are eating enough fruit and vegetables, the government is at pains to stress that families should not waste their money on organic food. Just 30 percent of people meet the recommendation to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

　　Government frontbencher (前座議員) Baroness Jolly said，“Organic products provide a useful extension of consumer choice, but it is worth emphasizing that, nutritionally, they are no better and no worse than conventional products. The only benefit of organic farming was enjoyed by birds, insects, mammals and plants.”“It is up to the consumers to decide how they spend their money on their fruit and vegetables. There are many reasons why an individual might wish to choose organic products but nutritional benefit should not be one of them，”she added.

　　Chief Executive Helen Browning said, “We know that people choose organic food because they believe it is better for them, also well as for wildlife, animal welfare and the environment, and this research backs up what people think about organic food.”

　　本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，說(shuō)明了有機(jī)食物與普通的食物一樣，從營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)的價(jià)值上兩者差別不大。因此，人們無(wú)需介意食用的是否是有機(jī)食物。

　　5．The government is encouraging people to________.

　　A．eat more fruit and vegetables

　　B．do more research on food

　　C．pay attention to their health

　　D．protect the environment

　　答案：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Just 30 percent of people meet the recommendation to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.”可知。

　　6．According to Baroness Jolly，________.

　　A．organic products are better than common food

　　B．organic products can't provide better nutrition

　　C．people should be urged to buy organic products

　　D．organic foods are good for environment protection

　　答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“...nutritionally，they are no better and no worse than conventional products.”可知。

　　7．What's Helen Browning's attitude to organic food?

　　A．Mixed.

　　B．Doubtful.

　　C．Positive.

　　D．Worried.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Helen Browning發(fā)表的看法“他認(rèn)為人們選擇有機(jī)食品有利于人類、野生動(dòng)物及環(huán)境”，因此他對(duì)有機(jī)食物持積極向上的態(tài)度。

　　1．warn vt. 警告；提醒

　　2.frozen adj. 凍結(jié)的；冷酷的

　　3．concern vt./n. 涉及；關(guān)系到

　　4．extension n. 延長(zhǎng)；延期；電話分機(jī)

　　5．emphasize vt. 強(qiáng)調(diào)；加強(qiáng)……的語(yǔ)氣

　　1．up to 直到；忙于

　　2．back up 支持；援助

　　原文：It is up to the consumers to decide how they spend their money on their fruit and vegetables.(固定句式)

　　譯文：由消費(fèi)者來(lái)決定他們?nèi)绾位ㄥX買他們的水果和蔬菜。

　　仿寫：It's_up_to_you_to_decide where to go the next summer holiday.

　　由你決定明年暑假去哪里。
