社会生活类In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food，” he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.
Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and
environmental_stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livablecommunities.
Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and fair food，” slow food must enrich the eaters' life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensatefairly for food producers' work.
The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country.
However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the foodindustry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices likeinefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts tooversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.
“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce theimpact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ We need tochange our food system，” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Nation EatIn. “Our currentfood system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has theright to nutritious food.”

A．why slow food is so important
B．the food and wine culture is rich in Italy
C．what you're eating always travels a long way
D．slow food makes the current food system sick
2．According to the second paragraph, “environmental stewardship”refers to________.
A．measures of environmental protections
B．ways to establish healthy and livable communities
C．people's admiration for all the creatures on the earth
D．actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment
3．Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.
A．improving the quality of eaters' life
B．providing a fair pay for food workers
C．being friendly to human and environmental health
D．developing a loose relationship with food producers
4．What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?

D．Supportive.
【要点综述】本文的作者告诉我们，如果想吃得更健康、更营养，那就提倡“慢食物”吧！
．A 主旨大意题。本文主要探讨“慢食物”的重要性，以及“慢食物”给人们带来的好处，故答案选A项。
．D 细节理解题。从第二段中的“environmental stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things
and all environments”可知，环境管理(environmental stewardship)的内容就是“破折号”后的解释，即“人们尊重所有生物和环境的权利的行动”，故D项正确。
3．D 细节理解题。从第三段可知，“慢食物运动”的特色就在于改善饮食者的饮食质量；不对人类健康和环境卫生产生副作用；给食物供应商以合理的报酬。D项则没有提到，故答案选D项。
．B 推理判断题。从最后一段David Prior所说的话可知，他认为当前的食物系统很糟糕，需要改进，所以他的态度应该是不满意的(unsatisfied)。A项表示“怀疑的”；C项表示“漠不关心的”；D项表示“支持的”，都不符合语境。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。In science fiction TV programs such as Star Trek , tractor beams (光线) are used to draw
spaceships and move objects
For years, scientists have labored to reproduce this feat（技艺）.
In 2017. they succeeded
A team of British and Czech scientists, led by Dr Tomas Cizmar. say
they have created a rea-life "tractor beam". like the kind from Star Trek . which uses a line of
light to attract objects. at least at a microscopic level
Light control techniques have existed since the l970s. but this is thought to be the first
time a beam has been used to draw objects towards a light source
Usually when microscopic
objects are hit by a line of light. they are forced along the direction of the beam
After many
years' research. Dr Cizmar's team discovered a technique that allows for the radiant force(辐射力) of light to be changed and to use the negative force to draw out certain particles（小颗粒）
Dr Cizmar says that even though it is a few years away from practical use. the technology has huge potential for medical research
In particular. the tractor beam is highly selective in the particles it can attract. so it can pick up particles that have specific characteristics. such as size or composition. in a mixture
"Eventually, this could be used to separate white blood cells. for example," Dr Cizmar told BBC News
It has been a primary plot design in science fiction TV programs and movies to allow objects like spaceships to be trapped in a line of light But Dr Cizmar said this particular technique would not eventually lead to that A transfer of energy happens in the process
On a microscopic level that is OK. but on a large level it would cause huge problems
A large object could be destroyed by the heating, which results from the massive amount of energy necessary to pull it.
24. What is this passage mainly about?
A The application of light control techniques in modem society.
B The uses and limitations of a scientific invention by a research team
C. The adoption of light control techniques in medical treatment.
D. The influences and effects of scientific developments on science fiction

A It moves big objects as the tractor beam did in Star Trek.
B It is the first beam that pushes objects forward
C. It relies on negative force to pull out specific kinds of particles.
D. It is currently being used for separating blood cells in medical research
26. What does "that" in the last paragraph refer to?
A
Transferring a massive amount of energy.
B. Making science fiction programs and movies.
C. Burning a large object into ashes.
D. Catching spaceships in a beam of light
27. What is the tone of this passage?
