11.Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise,smog,traffic,and crime of the city.
One friend says,"The air is heavily polluted in the city,so I prefer to live outside,where the air is clean."
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic,"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place,and the traffic jams are terrible."Everyone is worried about crime,"The city is full of criminals-it's toodangerous."
For them,the rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) life is a cure for all problems,green grass,flowers,swimming pools,barbecues,and so on.Yet after they have lived there for a year or so,they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting.Why?Their gardens!They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work.After they work all weekend in their gardens,they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues.And they can't live in the countryside without a car.Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic,but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why?First,in the city,I can enjoy nature.I can walk through the park.smell.the flowers,sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo.Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals.Also,I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam,I can walk home.I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city,the criminals will soon follow.Criminals want to avoid noise,smog,and pollution,too.Then,overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!

15.An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan.The water,it angrily argues in public,has traveled 10,000"food miles"before it reached Western customers.Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK.It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry.Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient.It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25miles in a truck to a farmers'market doesn't necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea.Besides,the idea of"food miles"ignores the amount of fuel used in the production.It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana.The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of"food miles"does provide,however,is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets.The number of miles traveled by our food should,as I see it,be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system,not a sign of damage to the environment.

9.The Food Commission is angry because it thinks thatD.
A.UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B.some imported goods causes environmental damage
C.growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D.people wasted energy buying food from other countries
10.The phrase"food miles"in the passage refers to the distanceA.
A.that a food product travels to a market
B.that a food product travels from one market to another
C.between UK and other food producing countries
D.between a Third World country and a First World food market
11.By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana,the author tries to explain thatC.
A.British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B.Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C.cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D.protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
12.From the passage we know that the author is most probablyA.
A.a(chǎn) supporter of free global trade
B.a(chǎn) member of a Food Commission
C.a(chǎn) supporter of First World food markets
D.a(chǎn) member of an energy development group.

12.On the eve of our daughters'weddings,I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice:never leave your husband unsupervised (無人監(jiān)督的) with pruning shears (修枝剪).
If only I had taken my own advice.I recently let my guard down.Thirty-some years of marriage can do that to a woman.Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers (電動修剪器) and he will give new meaning to"armed and dangerous."
One day earlier this year,my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead.
"Why do you think it is dead?"I asked.
"Look at it.There's not a leaf on it."
"There's not a leaf on anything.It's March,"I said.
"It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had,I'm convinced it's dead."
The truth is he's never liked the crabapple.Sure,it has beautiful blooms in the spring,but then it gets a disease,the leaves curl,and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway.
Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead.Eventually I began to believe him.Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss,there was a twinkle in his eye.He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming.A branch here,a branch there,a small limb,then a large limb.I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk.I broke one off and saw green.
The crabapple was not dead.It just hadn't had time to leaf out.The tree was now falling to one side,but it was not dead.I would have told him so,but he had moved on to a maple.Once the man starts,he can't stop.One trim leads to another.
"Please,stop!"I called.
He smiled and nodded,but he couldn't hear because he had started the hedge (樹籬) trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges.
Zip (颼颼聲),zip,zip.
"What do you think?"he shouted.
"It's supposed to be a privacy hedge; now all that will be private are our ankles."
He started the trimmers again.
"Stop!"I called,"Come back!"
"Why?"he shouted.
"You're in the neighbor's yard."
21.By saying"if only I had taken my own advice."the author means thatA.
A.she didn't follow her own advice about pruning shears
B.she feels regretful about her marriage after many years
C.she should have kept a closer watch on her husband
D.she shouldn't have given that marital advice to her daughters
22.We can learn from the article that the author's husbandB.
A.has a great talent for gardening
B.nearly ruined their neighbor's garden
C.mistook their crab apple tree for a maple tree
D.had never used pruning shears before
23.What does the article mainly talk about?B
A.Why the author's husband insisted on trimming their crab apple tree.
B.Why husbands shouldn't be left to trim trees alone.
C.How the author has survived her"thirty-some"years of marriage.
D.How the author's husband killed their crab apple tree.
24.What is the tone of the article?D
A.Anxious.B.Critical.C.Serious.D.Humorous.
