四、阅读理解

“Farm to table” is the name of a movement that encourages people to eat locally grown food.The farm-to-table idea has become more popular in recent years.But there is also a group that brings “table to farm”.Its purpose is to reconnect people to the land and to honour local farmers by creating a sort of restaurant without walls.

Its founder,Jim Denevan,got the idea for this kind of “culinary adventure(美食探险)”,as he called it,ten years ago.He recently prepared tables for more than a hundred people at Briars Farmstead in Virginia.He and his eight-member team arrived the night before.Chefs(厨师) from a local restaurant prepared the dinner.

Jim Denevan’s brother is a farmer and he himself is a chef.He thought that the idea of a meal served right on the farm made sense,though not everyone agreed.

“But I wanted to make the idea work,so I decided to cross the country,” said Denevan.“I went all the way across the United States and set the table in farms,ranches(大牧场) and on beaches,and all the places where food comes from.”

“This kind of event connects us with a lot of enthusiastic people whom we can form relationships with,” said Matt Szechenyi,who operates Briars Farm.

The tour of the farm ends at the dinner table.The meats in the meal come from Matt Szechenyi’s farm.The vegetables come from nearby farms.Guests and local farmers sit together.

Annoica Ingram came with a friend.“The food is wonderful.I appreciate their hard work.I see everything they have to do to take care of the animals and make sure they are well cared for.Without them,I think,we’ll have big problems,” she said.

1.What is the main purpose of the movement “Farm to table”?

A.To provide people with healthy food.

B.To help farmers earn more money.

C.To honour farmers for their hard work.

D.To encourage people to work less and practise more.

答案C

解析推理判断题。第一段第三、四句提到,举办“农场到餐桌”这一活动的目的就是创建一个没有墙壁的餐厅,将人们与土地联系起来,并且尊重农民。由此推知,这项活动的目的是尊重农民的辛苦工作。故选C项。

2.Annoica’s attitude towards farmers’ work is 　　　. 

A.worried　 B.grateful

C.doubtful D.supportive

答案B

解析推理判断题。最后一段提到,非常感谢他们的辛勤工作,而且她还认为没有这些人的话,他们的生活将会有大麻烦。因此Annoica对农民的工作应该持有一种感激的态度。故选B项。

3.What kind of writing is the passage likely to be?

A.A travel guide. 

B.A news report.

C.A diary. 

D.Popular science.

答案B

解析推理判断题。分析文章可知,文章开头介绍了该项活动的由来及目的,第二、三段介绍了该活动创始人的相关内容。最后一段引用了活动参与者的看法。符合新闻写作的结构及格式。故选B项。

五、七选五阅读理解

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.　1　 Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.  

People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often,when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.”　2　 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.  

Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.　3　 

Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.　4　 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.  

　5　 It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.” On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.  

A.Do the opposite.

B.You want to be an effective public speaker.

C.You don’t need to apologise for a minor slip.

D.When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.

E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.

F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.

G.However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

答案1~5 GACBD
