Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset a
25、bout what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will
26、make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics (救援人员)
27、had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

An Embarrassing Moment(D)Organic farming is a big-picture exercise. Its not only targeted at this seasons results
32、, but considers future generations. In the long run it makes better economic sense as well. But its main goal is to contribute to a healthier world. Studies conducted all over the world have shown the effects that conventional chemical farming has on the environment. Certainly, chemical fertilizers,
33、 pesticides, and herbicides increase the quantity of a farms production. They help produce more grains and vegetables. But at what cost? A Swiss study showed that organic farming produces an average of 20% less than conventional methods. But the organically grown food contained 50% less fertilizer a
34、nd 97% less pesticides. Though only a part of the amount of pesticides a farm uses actually does the job of killing bugs, all of it remains active in the soil for months or even years after application. Perhaps worse, each generation of pests is growing increasingly immune (免疫的)to the chemicals used
35、. Its not even all about the food and the soil. The pesticides used in conventional agriculture are finally spilling their chemical residues(化学残留) into the waterways. It affects wildlife, soil and ecosystems as a whole. According to a Worldwatch paper, Deep Trouble: The Hidden Threat of Groundwater
36、Pollution, poisonous chemicals are polluting groundwater on every inhabited continent, endangering the worlds most valuable supplies of freshwater. Perhaps not so intuitive, organic farming affects the air. “Organic agriculture can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by effectively locking more carbon i
37、nto the soil rather than releasing it into the atmosphere, ” found “Farming Systems Trial, ” a 15year study. Organic agriculture even uses 50% less energy than conventional farming. How does organic farming deal with pests? Organic farmers intentionally build up populations of beneficial insects, su
38、ch as ladybugs, that eat other pests and control the growth of insects. Wildflowers create green belts that control the spread of weeds and themselves encourage the beneficial insects. Farmers have to stick to strict standards and practices to earn the label “organic.” Looking forward, by promoting
39、biological diversity and maintaining soil fertility, organic farming creates a natural balance that helps to get high quality food in healthy quantities year after year. 33. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The best ways to set up organic farmingB. Why organic farming
40、benefits the environmentC. The history and development of organic farmingD. How to deal with pests and chemical residues34. It can be known from the passage that _. A. applying pesticides will increase the number of pestsB. organic farming produces more greenhouse gas emissionsC. conventional farmin
41、g is better than organic farmingD. the organically grown food does good to peoples health35. By writing Paragraph 3, the author mainly wants to tell us _. A. the immune function of pestsB. the effect of chemical residuesC. the great harm of pesticidesD. the benefit of conventional agriculture第二节（共5小
