　　[2016·揭阳一中检测]Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.

　　Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175­foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat­like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

　　A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9­year­old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67­year­old female.

　　A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

　　“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.

　　“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”

　　[2016·山东实验中学检测]Families should not waste their money on organic food, the government has warned. They should instead spend their money on whatever they can afford, even if it means eating frozen vegetables. The government now faces calls to end ￡20 million of subsidies to organic farming.

　　A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition found organic crops have up to 60 percent more antioxidants (抗氧化物) than non­organic crops. But critics claim there is still no evidence that organic food is a healthier option. Amid growing concern that too few people are eating enough fruit and vegetables, the government is at pains to stress that families should not waste their money on organic food. Just 30 percent of people meet the recommendation to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

　　Government frontbencher (前座议员) Baroness Jolly said，“Organic products provide a useful extension of consumer choice, but it is worth emphasizing that, nutritionally, they are no better and no worse than conventional products. The only benefit of organic farming was enjoyed by birds, insects, mammals and plants.”“It is up to the consumers to decide how they spend their money on their fruit and vegetables. There are many reasons why an individual might wish to choose organic products but nutritional benefit should not be one of them，”she added.

　　Chief Executive Helen Browning said, “We know that people choose organic food because they believe it is better for them, also well as for wildlife, animal welfare and the environment, and this research backs up what people think about organic food.”

　　本文是一篇说明文，说明了有机食物与普通的食物一样，从营养学的价值上两者差别不大。因此，人们无需介意食用的是否是有机食物。

　　5．The government is encouraging people to________.

　　A．eat more fruit and vegetables

　　B．do more research on food

　　C．pay attention to their health

　　D．protect the environment

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Just 30 percent of people meet the recommendation to eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day.”可知。

　　6．According to Baroness Jolly，________.

　　A．organic products are better than common food

　　B．organic products can't provide better nutrition

　　C．people should be urged to buy organic products

　　D．organic foods are good for environment protection

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段“...nutritionally，they are no better and no worse than conventional products.”可知。

　　7．What's Helen Browning's attitude to organic food?

　　A．Mixed.

　　B．Doubtful.

　　C．Positive.

　　D．Worried.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段Helen Browning发表的看法“他认为人们选择有机食品有利于人类、野生动物及环境”，因此他对有机食物持积极向上的态度。

　　1．warn vt. 警告；提醒

　　2.frozen adj. 冻结的；冷酷的

　　3．concern vt./n. 涉及；关系到

　　4．extension n. 延长；延期；电话分机

　　5．emphasize vt. 强调；加强……的语气

　　2．back up 支持；援助

　　原文：It is up to the consumers to decide how they spend their money on their fruit and vegetables.(固定句式)

　　译文：由消费者来决定他们如何花钱买他们的水果和蔬菜。

　　仿写：It's_up_to_you_to_decide where to go the next summer holiday.
