单选题Questions are based on the following passage.
On how the world has changed over the last 50 years, not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the world's food supplies.
The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn't know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificial fertilizers and pesticides to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.
Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years. Today's fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time. However, with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients (营养物), minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.
Another aspect of organic food information is the production of meat and poultry (家禽). Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed, the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside in the meat which are then consumed, digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.
You have nothing to lose by trying organic product, not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some, you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.
What is stated in Paragraph 1 about organic food?

A.It is considered as a better choice.
B.It has become popular over the last 50 years.
C.It reflects the change of production practices.
D.It is mostly supplied by world-famous companies.

参考答案A
解析:本文主要介绍有机食品资料,第l段引出话题:有机食品资料。第2~4段说明有机食品资料的目的和内容介绍。第5段指出有机食品对人体是健康的,作者鼓励人们消费有机食品。
说到世界在过去50年里的改变,并不全部都是好的。【46】当你查看有机食品信息时.你心里显然知道你有了一个更好的选择.同时你也开始用批判的眼光看待世界上食品供应商采用的原料和生产工艺.有机食品信息旨在让你知道,你吃的食物里都有什么。你会看到有机食品有许多你以前未曾发现的好处。了解有机食品信息的依据在于,农民们现在依赖于人造肥料和杀虫剂来控制疾病和虫害,以生产更多作物,满足日益增长的需求。这些人造肥料在我们所购买的水果蔬菜中残留下有毒物质,接下来又被我们的身体吸收、储藏。
近年来,就连食品的质量也在降低。如今的水果所含有的维生素C远远不如过去。【47】然而.有了有机食品信息.你就可以知道.有机食品比任何种类的集约农业作物都多含有百分之五十的营养物质、矿物质和维生素。如果你食用非有机食品,你就必须吃更多水果以弥补这个缺陷。但是这样一来,由于你也吃进了更多对身体弊大于利的化学制品,这个危险的循环还会继续下去。
有机食品信息涉及的另一个方面是肉类和禽类的生产。说到有机食品信息,大部分人只考虑到产品,而忽视了禽畜被填喂的抗生素和激素。【48】你可以问问自己.当禽畜被屠宰时.这些抗生素和激素都到哪去了。肉类中残留的抗生素和生长激素随后被我们购买.被人体吸收、储藏。如果一头动物不在健康的环境下养殖,它就不可能生产出健康的食物供人类食用。
【49】尝试有机食品并没有坏处.它不仅对你的健康有益.还可以让你吃到天然的农产品和肉类。你也许会对有机水果的口感赞赏有加.从此再也不碰大批量生产的水果。尽管价格和无处购买可能成为难题,你仍可以在网上稍加搜索,找到一家位置就近、价格合理的有机食品商店。
【定位】根据题干中的Paragraph l和organic food将本题出处定位于第l段第2句。
【解析】A。当你寻找有机食品的信息时,你已经很明显开始注意到a better alternative(一种更好的选择),你开始用批判的眼光看待供应全世界粮食的公司的原材料的来源和生产情况。a better alternative指前面的organic food,故答案为A.。本段没有提及popular, reflects,world-famous,故依次排除B、C和D。
