Vegetarian UK
Vegetarians and vegans
Vegetarians (people who don't eat meat) and vegans (people who don't eat or use any animal products) are becoming increasingly common in UK culture. A recent survey showed that three million people were vegetarian. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese.

So why are Brits cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worries about food safety (for example BES or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet could help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure.
Organic farming
Another rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics.
Organic food
According to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers' markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables sent to their homes every week. Although it\s often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!
A. A healthy diet
B. A balanced diet
C. Many people buy organic products in their local supermarket.
D. More and more people are deciding not to eat meat or use animal products.
E. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy.
F. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health.
G. Organically farmed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.

【答案】D;A;F;G;C
【解析】文章主要講述了英國(guó)的素食主義者,以及英國(guó)人多吃素食的原因。另一個(gè)上升的趨勢(shì)是有機(jī)農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)展,許多人拒絕轉(zhuǎn)基因食品和強(qiáng)化農(nóng)業(yè)的做法。他們希望他們的食物是有機(jī)生產(chǎn)的。農(nóng)民很少使用或沒有使用化學(xué)物質(zhì),雖然有機(jī)食品的價(jià)格往往更昂貴,但有機(jī)食品的粉絲們說(shuō)它的味道更好!
①D考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句:最近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示,三百萬(wàn)人是素食主義者。所以此處的內(nèi)容是越來(lái)越多的人開始食用素食。故選D。
②A考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)段意是為什么英國(guó)人不吃肉,后文講述的是肉類的不安全以及素食對(duì)人的好處。所以此處的內(nèi)容是要有一個(gè)健康的飲食。故選A。
③F考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句:根據(jù)素食協(xié)會(huì),無(wú)肉飲食有助于降低某些癌癥和心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn),以及肥胖和高血壓。所以此處的內(nèi)容是有些人選擇改變他們的飲食習(xí)慣,以提高他們的健康。故選F。
④G考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句:農(nóng)民很少使用或沒有使用化學(xué)物質(zhì),農(nóng)藥或化肥;有機(jī)肉類的生產(chǎn)不使用藥物和抗生素。所以此處的內(nèi)容是有機(jī)養(yǎng)殖的動(dòng)物有更多的營(yíng)養(yǎng)也很健康。故選G。
⑤C考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句:雖然它的價(jià)格往往更昂貴,但有機(jī)食品的粉絲們說(shuō)它的味道更好!所以此處的內(nèi)容是吃有機(jī)食品的人也很多。故選C。

One day a mime(啞劇演員) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo's most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人數(shù)) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — the job he likes but loses.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墻), and dangles(懸掛) from the top to the lion's cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction — well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime's pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”
