5．Is It Worth Buying Organic Food？
Organic food，grown without artificial chemicals，is increasingly popular nowadays．Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels （商标）．However，if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product，you might want to save your money．A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious，and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria，either．
The latest results，published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine，suggest that buyers may be wasting their money．"We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier，"says Dr．Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford．"So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer．"
For their new study，Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research，including 17studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food
products，and 223studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods，including key vitamins，minerals and fats．
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content，they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces．Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards．And both organic and traditional meats，such as chicken and pork，were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates．The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3fatty acids，a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease．However，these nutritional differences were too small，and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends．
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices，but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product．The U．S．Department of Agriculture （USDA） states that"whether you buy organic or not，finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste．"Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic．
5．The new research questions whether organic foodD．
A．should replace traditional food
B．has been overpriced by farmers
C．is grown with less harmful chemicals
D．is really more nutritious and healthier
6．Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found thatC．
A．organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease
B．traditional food was grown with more natural methods
C．both organic and traditional food they examined were safe
D．there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food
7．Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage？B
A．Organic chicken and pork．
B．Organic milk and chicken．
C．Traditional chicken and pork．
D．Traditional fruit and vegetables．
8．What is the author's attitude toward organic food？A
A．Skeptical．
B．Neutral．
C．Unconcerned．
D．Approving．

分析本文为议论文，由人们花很多钱去购买有机食品入题，提出有机食品真的比传统食品更好吗？然后引用专家的调查结果证实有机食品并未比传统食品有更好的营养成分．

解答 DCBA
5：D 细节理解题答案在第二段第二句，"we didn't find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier"，本题定位在第二段第一句的"latest result"，与题干"the new research"对应．本题应注意题干问的是"新的调查质疑有机食品…"
6：C 推理判断题第四段详细对比了有机食品和传统食品在各方面的情况，得出结论两种食品只有细微差别，并没有哪一种比另一种营养成分更多．选项A以偏概全了．
7：B 细节理解题文章第四段第四句"The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 acids，a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease．"可知有机奶和有机鸡肉更健康，故答案为B．
8：A 作者观点题作者在第一段提出人们不值得花过多的钱去买有机食品，以及最后一段引用USDA 美国农业部的观点"whether you buy organic food or not，finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste"以及最后一句可看出作者是质疑的态度．

点评阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．

10．Under the Dome，a 103-minute documentary self-funded by former news anchor Chai Jing，was released on video-sharing websites in China on Feb 28．It has rapidly pushed the public awareness about air pollution and encouraged people to join in efforts to make a difference．
Chai，39，said she started the work out of her"personal clashes"with smog after she gave birth to a daughter．"I sealed tight all the windows．I started every day by checking the air pollution index，"Chai said．Millions of other people are also doing the same．While they stop there，Chai goes deeper．"I don't want to live in this way．I need to find out where the smog comes from and what on earth is going on．"
After a year's research，Chai reveals that the burning of coal and oil contributes to 60percent of PM2.5pollutants．She thus questions the country's energy consumption habits in the film．Then she goes on to disclose loopholes （漏洞） in car emissions regulations，saying some of the laws have been in place for years，but have never been applied．The film also points at China's petroleum and steel industries as the biggest sources of air pollution．
The film has provoked national discussion after going viral online．Gruesome pictures of withered trees，murky skies，and babies under treatment have moved viewers．But most importantly，the film looks at solutions that the government and individuals can carry out to help．
Cheng Chen，a 22-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University，found the documentary"very inspiring"．"I used to think it's not my duty to deal with air pollution-I don't own a factory or a car，"said Cheng．"But Chai told me we share the same fate since we breathe the same air and there is a lot I can do．"
However，some people are annoyed by the film's description of their polluted hometowns，especially when it shows a banner from Xingtai in Hebei saying"Congratulations to our city for no longer being ranked the last place among the country's 74cities in terms of air quality"．Such a feeling of"being insulted"，in Cheng's eyes，could also be a good thing．
41．According to the passage，what is Under the Dome？C
A．A 103-minute news report
B．A video-sharing website．
C．A self-made video
D．A written documentary
42．What made Chai begin the work？D
A．Her worry about the bad effects of air pollution on her daughter．
B．Her intention to persuade others to protect the air with her．
C．She got tired of checking the air pollution index everyday．
D．She didn't want to live in the same way as other people did．
43．What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about？B
A．Chai explains why she questioned the country's energy consumption habits．
B．Chai reveals the factors contributing to air pollution．
C．Chai argues that laws and regulations should be applied．
D．Chai calls on people to protect the polluted environment．
44．According to passage，which of the following is TRUE？B
A．Most viewers are indifferent to Chai's opinion．
B．Individuals actually can do a lot to help deal with air pollution．
C．Some people are upset about the film because it is useless．
D．We will die if we do nothing to prevent air pollution．
45．What may be talked about in the next paragraph？B
A．Other different opinions about Under the Dome．

17．French writer Frantz Fanon once said："To speak a language is to take on a world，a culture．"Since the world changes every day，so does our language．
More than 300new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary，and in one way or another they are all reflections of today's changing world．
After a year that was politically unstable，it's not hard to understand the fact that people's political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary．One example is"clicktivism"，a compound of"click"and"activism"．It refers to"armchair activists"-people who support a political or social cause，but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone．And"otherize"is a verb for"other"that means to alienate （使疏远） people who are different from ourselves-whether that be different skin color，religious belief or sexuality．
"We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary，"Angus Stevenson，Oxford Dictionaries'head of content development，told The Guardian．
Lifestyle is also changing our language．For example，"fitspiration"-a compound of"fit"and"inspiration"-refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy．
The phrase"climate refugee"-someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change-reflects people's concern for the environment．
According to Stevenson，social media was the main source for the new expressions．"People feel much freer to coin their own words these days，"he said．
But still，not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary．If you want to create your own hit words，Stevenson's suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful，but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud．
28．What's the purpose of the quotation from French writer Frantz Fanon？D
A．To serve as the topic of the passage．
B．To present one of the major views of the society．
C．To show the fact that language mirrors the culture in a way．
D．To lead to the topic of the whole passage．
29．What does the underlined word"coin"in the second-to-last paragraph probably means？C
A．use B．record C．create D．change
30．How is the article mainly developed？A
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following a timeline．
D．By presenting research findings．
31．According to Stevenson，to make the words you invent popular，they shouldD．
A．be easy to remember
B．have unique and expressive meanings
C．have the attractive sound
D．be meaningful and sound catchy．

14．Have you ever had a panic attack in mid-flight？Those that have will tell you it's not fun．And there are plenty of reasons that make people panic．Some of them focus on the state of the pilot．Are I hey tired？Stressed？Paying enough attention？
Would these people feel any better if we could get rid of pilots altogether？
The technology already seems to be there-drones are not a new invention．Armies use drones in war zones，where they are controlled remotely．Even helicopters can be pi lot less，and delivers aid supplies to dangerous locations．
Aircraft accidents are rare today，but when they happen，they are getting harder and harder to solve‘That's why investigations often focus on"human factors"，identifying psychological and physiological issues as a probable cause．
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January．Chinese company Ehang displayed the first-ever passenger drone．To fly，the passenger needs to set up a flight plan，click"take off"and"land on a tablet，and the computer does the rest．There are other similar efforts to develop personal air transport systems in the US
and the UK．But be it a plane that's controlled remotely#or by an artificial intelligence system．whether it's just a passenger pressing a button，or a ground crew pulling the wireless strings，one fundamental question hasn't been answered yet：Would we feel at ease flying it we can't see two smartly dressed pilots inside，calmly providing us with weather updates during a storm？
It appears that people are more comfortable with a pilot directly at the controls，and on the plane．People are of the opinion that being in the vehicle while controlling it is easier than controlling it remotely．
There is also one worry：the risk of the unmanned plane getting hacked （黑客攻击）．It would be necessary to have not only preventive but also recovery measure-to stop an attack from happening and"rescue"the aircraft during a hack．
Today，it might be difficult for people to accept unmanned planes because when a plane stops，it falls out of the sky．And of course，many people are already nervous about flying，while not many of us are nervous about riding in a car or on a train．

58．Which does the passage suggest is among the advantages of pi lot less planes？C
A．Passengers'safety will be ensured．
B．We'll have exactly punctual flights．
C．Pilots'conditions can be excluded．
D．They can offer a comfortable flight．
59．The present problem with pilotless planes seems to beD．
A．producing appropriate planes
B．cutting the cost of operation
C．improving current technology
D．getting passengers on board
60．It is obvious that the passage intends toA．
A．throw doubt upon unmanned planes
B．analyze the value of pi lot less planes
C．show us a wonder of new technology
D．teach us how to fly unmanned planes．
