18、B）, C） and D）. You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly c

19、hemical foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains

20、 which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the

21、main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery

22、farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating whi

23、ch are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harm

24、ful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no mineral

25、s and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national die

26、t contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating. 31. Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because _. A） natu

27、ral foods are fresh and cheap B） they dont like processed foods C） they want to change their eating habits D） these foods contain more vitamins, mineral and fiber etc. D 32. According to the passage, what does the word “battery” （Para. 3） mean? _ A） apparatus for producing electricity B） an array of

28、 similar things intended for use together C） a line of small boxes in which hens are kept to lay eggs D） a group or set of things like tools C 33. The phrase “whole meal bread” in Para.5 refers to _. A） white bread in which fiber has been removed B） a type of brown bread which is made of unrefined flour C） a kind of bread which can be used to cure diseases D） a loaf of bread filled with hams and chicken 34. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A） people will no lo
