24、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(来源) of the food．Perhaps there are apples 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 “field to plate”, is called “food miles”．A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food．Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者)．Why is this, and what are the effects(影响) of these long distances?

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(进口) 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．

What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons．First of all, because food travels such long distances．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) warming．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 journey．For this reason, they are usually 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 “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”．

A. easy to get   B. not busy   C. willing to talk   D. impossible to get

【3】Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____．

A. long distances   B. difficult climates   C. fresh and tasty food   D. modern technology

【4】The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______．

A. buy more local food   B. increase international trade

C. travel long distances   D. use imported materials

【5】This passage is mainly about ______．

A. how local food travels from field to plate   B. what “food miles” is and its effects

C. how some countries import their food   D. where different kinds of food come from

26、   Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me — why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless(无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum.

27、Nathan Sawaya’s childhood was a lot of fun. He drew cartoons, wrote stories, and played with plastic toy bricks（积木）. His grandparents bought his first set of toy bricks when he was five years old and he’s been building with toy bricks ever since. He even took his building bricks to college with him! Instead of books and a computer, he had a model of Greenwich Village made of bricks on his desk.

Nathan started as a lawyer but gave up his highly-paid job to become an artist that uses toys in his art. He uses toy bricks to build everything from the Statue of Liberty to Superman! He has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his working room in New York which he uses to make pieces of art. He started by building small models but then decided to do something big and created a self-portrait. It took him two days just to build the eyes.

Nathan’s work has appeared in museums around the world. Children love his art because it is made out of the same toys that they play with at home and adults love his work because it is fascinating. Since it began in 2007, Nathan’s exhibition “The Art of the Brick” has been very popular with museum visitors everywhere.

“I’m proud that I took a dream I had as a child, to become an artist, and I have actually made a job out of it,” says Nathan. “To do what you love in life is the most important thing.”

28、请认真阅读下面短文,并根据各题所给首字母的提示,写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式,使短文通顺。

Many Chinese people go abroad to travel, to study, and even to live on their own. People should learn about the cultures they visit because some of the cultures are very d【1】from ours. If you know them and understand them, it will help you a lot.

Talking about the weather and sports is a good way to s【2】 a conversation. But when you talk to westerners, you shouldn't ask their age because it is not p【3】. Also, you should not ask about how much money they make every month, not even with someone you know well. In p【4】 places like museums and libraries, you shouldn't eat or drink when others are q【5】 looking at art works or reading books. When you visit a western country and you want to give someone a small g【6】 or flowers, be careful to choose the right c【7】 of flowers. This is because in some countries white flowers are for the dead.  When you receive a gift from someone, r【8】 to write a thank you note to express your thankfulness. Using polite language will never be w【9】.

The most important thing to remember is that wherever you are, respect the local c【10】. It may not be the same as the one in your home country, but you should try your best to learn about it and respect it.

Some people choose the job ________ in life. Pat had an office job with the US government with high pay, ________ he didn’t like city life and spending all day inside. So one day, he ________ his job and moved to a ranch（牧场）in Texas, making much less money ________ a cowboy. He wanted job satisfaction.
