W： Professor Williams, we now have many kinds of food that are called organic. For example, we have organic dairy products, organic meat and chicken. Do we have organic fi

14、sh nowM： Well, the answer to your question is yes, and no. In the United States, the term "；organic"； has a legal meaning set by the Department of Agriculture. The department has an official label&rsquo； to mark products that have met the requirements of its National Organic Program. Organic

15、 products usually cost more, but their sales are growing. As a result, there is competition to label more products organic because many people believe they are healthier. Now Agriculture Department officials are trying to decide whether fish can be called organic. W： Yes, as you said, many agricultu

16、ral produces are labeled organic, but in the US, there is no such thing called organic fish yet. M： Many operators of fish farms believe they could sell more fish if they could label them organic. The industry that sells wild-caught fish is already under pressure from farm-raised seafood. That press

17、ure could increase if the Agriculture Department approves proposed requirements for labeling fish organic. W： I am sure there are criteria for the fish to meet if they can be called organic. M： Yes, Earning the organic label requires controlled conditions. The question is whether fish that swim wild

18、 and free-like Alaskan salmoncould meet the proposed requirements. Yet fish farms might not all be able to meet them either. Some operations are criticized for their treatment of fish and the risk of pollution to waterways. Fish farmers and the wild-caught industry also argue about the possible pres

19、ence of harmful chemicals in each other&rsquo；s products.A few years ago, an advisory committee considered requests by fish farmers to call their products organic. The experts said farm-raised fish should be labeled organic only if they were fed almost completely organic plant food. Farmed fish ofte

W： When do you think American people can have organic fish on their tableM： More recently, the Agriculture Department formed another group to examine possible requirements. This time, the committee suggested several

21、 kinds of food that farmed fish could eat and still be called organic. But 1 think a decision about whether fish can be sold with the organic label may still take two years or more. Which of the following is TRUE().A. Fish started to be sold with the organic label a few years ago in the US.B. The US

22、 government has adopted guidelines recommended by an advisory committee.C. The issue of labeling fish organic won&rsquo；t be solved very soon.D.

35、 and lift up weeds, and other unwanted plants. However, plowing is blamed for causing severe damage to top soil by removing the plants that protect soil from being blown or washed away. Many farmers in South Asia are now trying a process called Low Till Farming. Low Till Farming limits the use of pl

36、ows. In this method of farming, seeds and fertilizer are put into the soil through small cuts made in the surface of the ground. Low Till Agriculture leaves much or all the soil and remains of plants on the ground. They serve as a natural fertilizer and help support the roots of future crops. They t

37、ake in rain and allow it to flow into the soil instead of running off. It has been proved that Low Till Farming increases harvests and reduces water use, and this method reduces the need for chemical products because there are fewer unwanted plants. Scientists say Low Till Farming is becoming popula

38、r in South Asia, which is facing a severe water shortage. They say the area will become dependent on imported food unless water is saved through methods like Low Till Farming. Currently, more than 150 million people in South Asia depend on local rice and wheat crops. Farmers grow rice during wet wea

39、ther. During the dry season they grow wheat in the same fields. Farmers are using the Low Till Farming method to plant wheat after harvesting rice. Scientists say Low Till Agriculture is one of the best examples in the world of technologies working for both people and the environment.How many people

40、 depend on local rice and food in South Asia currently(). A. More than 150 million people.B. Less than 150 million people.C. About 1 00 million people.D. About 120 million people.5.

44、ially amusing. Tobias Smo11ett wrote Travels Through France & Italy (my favourite letter contains his description of French women: "As their faces are conceaIed under a false comp I ex i on, so their heads are covered with a vast Ioad of false hair, frizzled at the forehead, so as exact I y

45、 to resemble the woo 11 y heads of the Gu i nea negroes"). His approach to anything foreign was considered so fulI of spleen by author Laurence Sterne that he was moved to write A SentimentaI Journey. This satiricaI novel gives Smo11ett the name SmeIfungus—a cantankerous man add i cted to
