10、们,如果想吃得更健康、更营养,那就提倡“慢食物”吧!36A主旨大意题。本文主要探讨“慢食物”的重要性,以及“慢食物”给人们带来的好处,故答案选A项。37D细节理解题。从第二段中的“environmental stewardshipthe actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments”可知,环境管理(environmental stewardship)的内容就是“破折号”后的解释,即“人们尊重所有生物和环境的权利的行动”,故D项正确。38D细节理解题。从第三段可知,“慢食物运
11、动”的特色就在于改善饮食者的饮食质量;不对人类健康和环境卫生产生副作用;给食物供应商以合理的报酬。D项则没有提到,故答案选D项。39B推理判断题。从最后一段David Prior所说的话可知,他认为当前的食物系统很糟糕,需要改进,所以他的态度应该是不满意的(unsatisfied)。A项表示“怀疑的”;C项表示“漠不关心的”;D项表示“支持的”,都不符合语境。*结束2 学科 The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art.
