21、*10=20 points)Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each of the questions. Passage OneThe food we eat seems to have profound（深远的） effects on our health. Although science has made

22、enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because

23、of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain

24、in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives（添加剂） which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in th

25、e milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly

26、 to control these procedures, the practices continue.28. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B. Food and additivesC. Food and cancer D.

28、he animals fatterC. to make the animals meat fit to eat D. to make the animals meat rich in nutrients 31. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. scientist have made all the food fit to eat B. only in recent years have people found that the food is related to ones illnessC. all kinds of cancer

29、are related to the diet D. some additives are harmful to our health 32. The word “this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to _.A .farmer B. penicillinC. beef and poultry D. the fact that farmers often give penicillin to beefPassage TwoA credit card can be useful. You could t

30、ake it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you wanted. All you would have to do is to sign your name and take what you wanted out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cards-they can be financial poison. These cards are just like

31、 the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us. These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amo
