3.Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land, such as cotton, timber or rubber. Some raw materials such as iron ore, come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods.Some countries produce food for export, for example, meat, sugar, or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural county needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold, dry climate is not suitable for agriculture.A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case, it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them.

    Organic Food:Why?

    1 Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world,expanding by 25 percent a year over
    the past 10 years.So what is the attraction of organic food for some people?The really important thing is
    that organic sounds more"natural".Eating organic is a way of defining oneself as natural,good,caring,
    different from the junk-food-eating masses.
    2 Unlike conventional farming,the organic approach means farming with natural,rather than man-
    made , fertilisers and pesticides. Techniques such as crop rotation(轮种)improve soil quality and help
    organic farmers compensate for the absence of man-made chemicals.As a method of food production,organic
    is,however,inefficient in its use of labour and land;there are severe limits to how much food can be pro-
    duced.Also,the environmental benefits of not using artificial fertilisers are tiny compared with the amount of
    carbon dioxide emitted(排放)by transporting food.
    3 Organic farming is often claimed to be safer than conventional farming. Yet studies into organic
    farming worldwide continue to reject this claim.An extensive review by the UK Food Standards Agency found
    that there was no statistically significant difference between organic and conventional crops.Even where re-
    sults indicated there was evidence of a difference,the reviewers found no sign that these differences would
    have any noticeable effect on health.
    4 The simplistic claim that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food was always likely to
    be misleading. Food is a natural product,and the health value of different foods will vary for a number of rea-
    sons,including freshness,the way the food is cooked,the type of soil it is grown in,the amount of sunlight
    and rain crops have received,and so on.Likewise,the flavour of a carrot has less to do with whether it was
    fertilised with manure(粪便)or something out of a plastic sack than with the variety of carrot and how long
    ago it was dug up.
    5 The notion that organic food is safer than"normal"food is also contradicted by the fact that many of
    our most common foods are full of natural toxins(毒素).As one research expert says : " People think that the
    more natural something is,the better it is for them.That is simply not the case.In fact,it is the opposite
    that is true:the closer a plant is to its natural state,the more likely it is that it will poison you.Naturally,
    many plants do not want to be eaten,so we have spent 10,000 years developing agriculture and breeding out
    harmful traits from crops."

    A:Factors That Affect Food Health Value
    B:Main Reason for the Popularity of Organic Food
    C:Testing the Taste of Organic Food
    D:Research Into Whether Organic Food Is Better

    文章第三段讲述了尽管有机作物种植方法一直被宣称是比传统种植方法更安全,但世 界范围里关于有机作物种植方法的研究却一直不认同这一说法。
    文章第四段讲认为有机作物比传统种植的作物更营养的说法可能是一种误导。食物 是自然的产物,不同食物的健康价值也因许多原因各不相同。影响食物健康价值的原因包括: 烹饪方法,生长地的土壤,阳光,雨水等等。故选A。
    文章第二段描述了有机作物的种植方法。其中第二句话提到:" Techniques such as crop rotation improve soil quality...",故选C。
    参考第25题解析。
