What do they really mean?

Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down. This is the view of the CWS, which has just brought out a new report.

According to the report, shoppers believe food labels(標(biāo)簽) because they think there are strict regulations in place. 1. So the food industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are.

The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled. 2.____ Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product. One example given in the report is the phrase "haddock fillets", used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices.

3. These include "traditional", "wholesome", or "premium". The claim that a brand is "90% fat-free" hides the fact that it contains 10% fat, which above recommended levels. Phrases such as "free from preservatives" make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food.

Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them. You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print. 4.

Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image. Many pictures on packets use small plates to make the product look bigger. 5.

However, misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past. The CWS recently produced a code which, if used, would end the current inaccuracies and half-truths. It has called on the government to support it as a way of improving food standards.

A. Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message.

B. An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration.

C. Photographs are sometimes retouched(修飾) to achieve the same effect.

D. By contrast, the hard sell (強(qiáng)行推銷) information is given emphasis.

E. The rules are, in reality, very weak at present.

F. This result has not pleased the food industry.

G. The most common of these is poor labeling.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虛擬). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

1.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are.

B. To introduce BookCrossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading.

D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure.

C. A public place. D. The identification number.

3.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it.

B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.

C. Pass it on to another reader.

D. Mail it back to its owner.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour

B. Electronic Books: A new Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

D. A Website Links People through Books

Dear Diana,

Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne's friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the car park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents' and made our own way to home.

Much love,

Fiona

October 21 was a very dark day in Texas. Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes, it caused the largest business damage in Texas’s history. The worst thing is Hanna’s destructive force nearly wiped out(摧毀) most power poles and power lines. According to Center Point Energy, Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15 million customers.

Most of Houston seems to be returning to normal. Schools, restaurants, retail(零售) stores and gas stations are open. Smiles are back.

Parents are registering kids in other area schools which are scheduled to begin class on November 13. Many school supplies were destroyed.

Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston, Texas. This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying.

Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of a loved one.

It may be hard to believe at first, but finally you can use this experience as your advantage—to find another, perhaps even better job, to strengthen your relationship with your family, and to make some much-needed changes in your life. Here are three essential steps.

Step1 Get emotional support. Because it’s easy to feel uneasy and vulnerable(脆弱), turning to others is the key to making a smooth transition(過渡). You’ll need people who will listen and provide a safe place for you to cry, or to express your fears and concerns.

Don’t go it alone. It takes courage to ask for help, and yet, help may be what you need most to move forward.

Step2 Seek professional guidance. Getting assistance from a recruiter(招聘人員) or career adviser will not only help you value your experience and improve your skills, it also will ensure that you put your best foot forward. Once again, your local unemployment office should have helpful resources.

If possible, try not to let fear cause you to grab the first new job you’re offered (unless it’s the right one). Give yourself time to explore different choices.

Step3 Consolidate family ties. Meet with family members to openly discuss your feelings. Listen carefully without interrupting one another, and give everyone a turn to speak. When a man I know did this with his family, his wife agreed to leave the job search planning to him and his outplacement adviser. In turn, he agreed to keep her informed about the process on a weekly basis. When you keep the lines of communication open, you can build stronger relationships.

Once you’ve got a new job, create your own security. Keep your resume up-to-date, stay in touch with recruiters about the job market, and constantly improve your skills to stay marketable in your field.

Although being laid-off can turn your life upside down, many people say that it gave them push they needed to start a new life!

1.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To ask the family for help.

B. To stay in touch with recruiters in your field.

C. To deal with the hurt from losing a job.

D. To keep your resume up-to-date.

2.The underlined title “Consolidate family ties” probably means “________”.

A. find another better job for your family

B. strengthen your relationship with your family

C. make some much-needed changes in your family

D. create your own security to your family

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Losing a job is stressful but is not so painful as the loss of a loved one.

B. Turning to others is the main key to obtaining deepest sympathy.

C. Asking for a career adviser will help you and improve your skills.

D. Keeping the lines of communication open can end your relationships.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author is most likely to ____________.

A. be a life coach

B. be a keeper of family ties

C. memorize his or her loved one

D. work in an employment agency

科目:高中英語 來源:2017屆甘肅蘭州一中高三9月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.

“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.

When the wind is from the west

All the waves that cannot rest

To the east must thunder on

Where the bright tree of the sun

Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.

As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.

It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid–ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.

1.Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________.

A. always energetic

B. lacking in liveliness

C. shaped like a square

D. favored by ancient poets

2.What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?

A. To describe the movement of the waves.

B. To show the strength of the storm.

C. To represent the power of the ocean.

D. To prove the vastness of the sea.

3.What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?

A. Living together.B. Growing fast.

C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.

4.In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to ________.

A. a beautiful and poetic place

B. a flesh and blood person

C. a wonderful world

D. a lovely animal
