LONDON

题文

LONDON（Reuters）-Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food."Organic produce is always better," Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides（农药）, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and asonal, so it is more tasty. "Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market rearch shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be ud on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand. "The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.60.

答案

60---63   CBAA  

解析

60.C 点评：推理判断题。从第二段 Gold的话可以判断出，人们喜欢绿色食物的原因是因为它们没有受到农药的污染。61.B 点评：细节题。短文倒数第二句说明英国的绿色食物大部分是进口的，即在英国的国外生产的。62.A 点评：词义猜测题。由短文最后一句可以看出，由于人们对organic food越来越感兴趣，使其需求越来越大。63.A 点评：标题选择题。绿色食品的需求量每年以三分之一的速度上升，使绿色食品市场成为快速增长的市场，销售人员由此获得大量财富。所以，Organic food—healthy，or just for the wealthy？是比较恰当的题目。
