问题 阅读理解

The following people are expressing their thoughts (1--5) to show their concern for food, environment and so on.After that are pieces of related information (A--F) .Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions61---5 and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

______1.How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

______2.More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

______3.Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

______4.I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

______5.Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A."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 grown and seasonal, 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.

B.Market research 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 used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported 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.

C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?" E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

答案

1-5 CFBAE

1. C 项的开头就说很多城市受到严重污染,这与“the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found” 相吻合。

2.从关键词business 可知应选F。

3.B   B项中“small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products” 与最后一句意思一致。

4  A 项中的 family farms 正好与“growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden ”相符合。

5.  E项中的“Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green”意为很容易在超市买到标着绿色食品标签的商品,这与第5句意思一致。

  一切传统都是过去的东西,但并非一切过去的东西都是传统。可是,过去确系传统的一个重要特 征,我们不能离开过去与现在的关系而谈传统。

  传统都有其“原本”,原本是传统的始发言行。传统的始发言行有其特定的原初行动者、特定的受动者,还有其特定的叫做参照系的现实环境。在传统的原本中,所有这些都是特定的、不能代替的。

  随着时间的推移和历史的进展,原本逐步地被认为是具有权威性的、天经地义的、带有信仰性质的东西而为群体所接受,成为凝聚群体的力量,这样,原本也就逐步地形成为传统。特别值得注意的是,传统逐步形成的过程也是一个逐步远离原本的过程。这里所说的远离,是指原初行动者、受动者和当时的参照系已消失而成为过去。这样,传统在形成过程中就取得了相对独立于原本所处的参照系以及原初说话人、原初受话人的自主性。

  正是这种远离或自主性,打破了原本的限制,扩大了原本的范围,丰富了原本的含义。这里的关键在于解释,在新的参照系之下对原本作新的解释,这就是传统远离原本的原因。任何一个写下来的作品,一旦公之于世,它就是向广大的人群说话,不仅是向同时代人说话,而且是向后来人说话。作为受话人的读者不仅有同时代人,而且有后来人。读者可以对写作的原本作出各不相同的回应,这些回应都是根据读者自己所处的参照系对原本所作的新解释。可以说,传统的原本在形成为传统的过程中,不断地参照变化了的环境。在后来的一连串读者面前展开一系列不断更新的世界。写作的原本是如此,行动的原本也是这样。传统的行动痕迹往往出乎原初行动者的始料之所及,自有后来人的评说——解释。

  这样看,传统形成的过程本身便是一个传统不断更新、不断开放、不断壮大的过程。传统本来就具有两面性,它在形成和发展过程中,既因新的参照系与之相摩擦而不断更新自己,又因其偏执性而抗拒摩擦,力图使自身永恒化。可以说,传统既是摩擦的结果,又是对摩擦的抗拒。那种把传统一味看成凝固不变而无更新的观点是错误的、不符合史实的。因此,在对待传统的问题上,我们应当根据新的参照系,对旧传统作出新的评价和解释,这样才能使传统展开为有生命的东西。(选自张世英(我看国学——传统与现代),有删改)
