Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

Now people are very concerned about the food problem. Steve Wilson prefers organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. He is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 30yearold computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
“Organic product is always better,” Wilson 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 grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Wilson is one of the 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 products? Market research shows that Wilson 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 used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口) to meet the growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fastgrowing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了越来越多的人选择有机食物,他们认为有机食物无污染、更美味,从而引发了一场有机食品潮。
5.Why does Steve Wilson prefer organic fruit?
A.Because it is delivered right to the doorstep.
B.Because more and more people buy organic fruit.
C.Because he likes homegrown fruit very much.
D.Because he considers the fruit free of pollution.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The food is free of pesticides (农药)”可知,Steve Wilson(史蒂夫·威尔逊)认为有机食品没有农药,即没有污染。故选D。
6.What do the underlined words “the organic trend” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Getting the food anywhere.
B.Growing the food at home.
C.Better quality of organic food.
D.Growing interest in organic food.
答案:D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Steve Wilson prefers organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep.”和第二段中的“Wilson is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the__organic__trend”可知,“the organic trend”指的是人们对有机食物越来越感兴趣。故选D。
7.Why does Sue Flock say it is a very fastgrowing market?
A.Because of a rapid increase in the demand for it.
B.Because it is produced on large farms.
C.Because it can't be produced on family farms.
D.Because of its proper prices.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fastgrowing market”可知,对有机食物的需求以每年大约三分之一的速度增长,所以这是一个快速增长的市场。故选A。
Ⅱ 语法填空
When Harmony OS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, __1__ (release) on Aug. 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media.

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了从华为的鸿蒙系统到电影《哪吒之魔童降世》,许多经典的古代神话如今都被赋予了现代意义,彰显了中国人的浪漫与智慧。
1.was released 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据“on Aug. 9”可知,从句应用一般过去时。主语Harmony OS与谓语release之间为被动关系,且主语是第三人称单数,故填 was released。
2.as 考查介词。分析句意可知,许多人都认为,该操作系统不仅代表着中国作为科技大国的崛起,系统名字“鸿蒙”更是向中华古典文化致敬。所以设空处应填介词as,表示“作为”。故填as。
3.naming 考查非谓语动词。by为介词,后应接动名词。故填naming。
4.products 考查名词。product为可数名词,根据Hongmeng, Kunpeng可知,这两款商品只是众多产品之一,应用复数。故填products。
5.that/which 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导定语从句,a mythical creature为先行词,指物,在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
6.traditional 考查词性转换。culture为名词,应用形容词来修饰。故填traditional。
7.Based 考查非谓语动词。(be) based on “以……为基础”为固定短语,本句为过去分词作状语。故填Based。
8.unlike 考查反义词。句意:不像先前电影作品中惹人喜爱的英雄形象,哪吒在这部电影中是个被人瞧不起的叛逆者,历经种种艰险,不惧坎坷宿命,最终成为了一位英雄。所以设空处应填like “像”的反义词。故填unlike。
9.it 考查固定短语。as ... put it “正如……所说”是固定短语。故填it。
10.beginning 考查词性转换。由设空前的the和设空后的of可知,设空处应用名词,故填beginning。
