Passage 2(2015 南京，D) 

      Nowadays,the food that you buy comes from many different countries.Have a look in your fridge,cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (來源) of the food.Perhaps there are apples yBB from California,lamb from New Zealand,or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey,from u field to plate”，is called“food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the food.Nowa?days,food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer ( 費(fèi)者) .Why is this,and what are the effects (影響) of these long dis?tances?

      Traditionally,farmers sold their food in the local market,so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food.This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However,there were some disadvantages. For example,consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition,they could only get food that was in season. Now,because of modern technology,food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes.They are available in winter if we want.

      Some countries have to import (進(jìn)口) most of their food.This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ,for example,gets 85% of its food from other countries.Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.

      Whafs wrong withu food milesIs this not a good way of in?creasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all,because food travels such long dis?tances,we need more planes,lorries,and ships to move the food.This means we use more oil or petrol,so there is more pollution and more global (全球的) wanning.In addition,food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty.Tomatoes,for example,are picked early and stored for their long journeys.For this reason,they are usu?ally tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste,and it also reduces the amount of global pollution.We need to buy more local food.

1. What is called“ food miles” according to this passage?

 A. The origins of the food.

 B. The effects of long distances.

 C. The journey from field to plate.

 D. The disadvantages of imported food.

2. The underlined word u availablein Paragraph 2 most probably means “    ”.

Passage 5 (2015 浙江杭州，C) 

       Are you shy? If you are,you are not alone.In fact,close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives.These days,shyness is becoming more and more common.Now,scientists are tiying to understand shyness.They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

     Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes.They say 15 to 20  percent of babies behave shyly.These babies are a little qui?eter and more watchful than other babies.Interestingly,these shy ba?bies usually have shy parents. As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

     Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children.They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied (欺侮) by their older brothers and sislers. As a result,they became shy. At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well.Growing up alone,they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

     You may also be shy because of where you were bom. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences.InJapan,most people said they were shy.But inIsrael,only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of fail?ure. InJapan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about them?selves.They blame ( 責(zé)備) themselves for their failure. InIsrael,the opposite is true.Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck.InIsrael,freedom of opinion and risk-taking are strongly supported.This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

      For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness.They suggest trying new things and practicing conversa?tion. And don't forget—if you are shy,you are not the only one.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. Happiness. B. Shyness.

   C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.

2. What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

  A. Passed down from parents.

  B. Learned from friends.

  C. Taught by teachers.

  D. Made up by brothers.

3. What can be learned from the passage?

  A. Most little babies are horn shy and quiet.

  B. If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.

  C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.

  D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.

4. We can learn from the passage that may cause shyness.

  A. genetics,grown-ups and birthplace

  B. genetics,family size and birthplace

  C. family size,grown-ups and failure

  D. genetics,family size and freedom 

5. Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by .

  A. blaming their failure on outside reasons

  B. trying new things and practicing conversation

  C. getting themselves away from their shy parents
