27、art A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of foods that are considered more healthful than the types of foods widely sold in supermarkets. Fo
28、r example, whole grains, fried beans, and com oil are health foods. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, whereas refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fru
29、it, with sugars and other additives, is not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest classification within health foods is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruit and vegetables that are grown in gardens, that are sprayed only with organic f
30、ertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides, and that are not refined after harvest, are organic foods. Meat, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only organically grown feed and that are not injected with hormones are organic foods. In choosing the type of foo
31、d you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed foods, or organic, unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the allegations that processed foods contain chemicals, some of which are proven to be toxic, and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in pro
32、cessed foods. Bread is typically used by health food advocates as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is sprayed with a number of very toxic insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also toxic. Next a do
33、ugh conditioner is added, along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals. A very toxic anti-fungal compound, is added to keep the bread from getting moldy. Other foods from the supermarket would show a similar pa
34、ttern of processing and preserving. You see we buy our good on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods, preferable the organic variety. 46 Which term is used to distinguish
35、between types of the same food? （ A） Refined foods, （ B） Natural foods. （ C） Organic foods. （ D） Unprocessed foods. 47 What do all of the addictives in bread have in common? （ A） They all used to keep the bread from getting moldy. （ B） They are all poisonous. （ C） They are all organic. （ D） They hav
36、e all killed laboratory animals. 48 What happens to food when it is processed? （ A） The ultimate content remains the same. （ B） The vitamin information is not available after processing. （ C） The vitamin content is reduced altogether. （ D） The vitamin content is greatly reduced. 49 We normally buy f
37、oods on the basis of_. （ A） organic variety （ B） beauty （ C） refined contents （ D） color and texture 50 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） Health food. （ B） The processing of bread. （ C） Organic gardens. （ D） Poisons. 50 Punctuation makes the written language intelligible. It does the job,
38、on the page, of the changes of pitch, pace and rhythm which make it possible to understand speech. Unsurprisingly, therefore, a requirement for some knowledge of how to punctuate makes an early appearance in an English curriculum. The trouble is, that necessary though punctuation is, the task of tea
39、ching it to children is considerably more challenging than it might appear. For example, it is possible that to instruct children about writing in sentences by telling them about full stops and capital letters is to court frustration and failure. The notion of the sentence as a statementa free- stan
40、ding chunk of informationis something that children come to gradually. As written work grows longer and more complicated, so the perception of sentence increases. Good teachers will, in their teaching of early writing, watch for the childs ability to compose in sentences, and then point out how the
41、use of punctuation will define them more clearly. So, where, in all this, comes the mechanical definition of a sentencethat it needs a verb, for example? The pragmatic answer is that it comes nowhere at all. Adult writers do not, on the whole, look back at their sentences to make sure they contain v
42、erbs. We all surely feel our sentences intuitively. Most of the time, to be sure, they will contain verbs. Occasionally, though, they may notand wheres the harm? What is certain is that you cannot possibly use the grammatical rule as a tool with which to teach a seven-year-old about sentence-writing
43、. The child can be nudged and helped towards writing in sentences, but on the whole he will not do it until he is ready. The point is that punctuation is an aid which the writer brings into play to illuminate an already formed idea. Before you can learn the punctuation, you have to know what you wan
44、t to punctuate. Thus you teach capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to a child who is already writing sentences, questions and exclamations. The development of a childs writing will always be a step ahead of the punctuation, and to reverse the process in response, say, t
45、o the short-term demands of a curriculum is to put later progress at risk. 51 Which statement can best sum up the main idea of the passage? （ A） it is necessary to require the knowledge of punctuation in an English curriculum. （ B） Punctuation is very important in written language. （ C） Punctuation
46、can make sentences more clear. （ D） Punctuation should be taught after the development of childrens writing. 52 The author believes that sentences which do not contain a verb are_. （ A） carelessly written sentences （ B） useful in teaching punctuation （ C） not incorrect sentences （ D） based on gramma
47、r 53 What does the word “nudged“ (the last sentence, Para. 3) probably mean? （ A） Hindered. （ B） Removed. （ C） Encouraged. （ D） Prevented. 54 According to the text, punctuation is naturally used when_. （ A） a writer already knows what he/she means to say （ B） a writer needs an aid （ C） long or compl
48、ex sentences are written （ D） writing sentences with question and exclamation marks 55 What, according to the passage, might make a teacher teach punctuation before children have the ability to write sentences? （ A） The demand of a curriculum. （ B） The demand of parents. （ C） The need of children. （
49、 D） The intention to help children in their writing. 55 The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless“ and “inexh
