21．（6分）Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money. The tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare is called Super Off-Peak.
You can buy Off-Peak tickets any time before you travel, either online or at a local station. The travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey you are making. The tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket. For Off-Peak return tickets, related journeys must be made on the date shown on your ticket as well.
Children aged five to fifteen get a 50% discount for all Off-Peak fares. Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Railcard holders get l/3 off all Standard Class Off-Peak fares. Senior, and disabled Railcard holders also get l/3 off all First Class Off Peak fares. Please note that minimum fares and time restrictions may apply to tickets bought with a Railcard.
If you plan on a train trip with friends or your family, you may get group travel discounts. Three or four can travel for the price of just two adults-leaving everyone more money to spend on the day out!

22．（8分） If you feel sick or uncomfortable, you might seek out a doctor. But what to do if you don’t quite know where you fit into this world and you’re tired of carrying that burden alone?
I answered strangers’ questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like “why can’t I be happier in my life?”
And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother’s hand as she craned (伸长脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. “It’s OK,” I offered. “Do you have a question?” The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: “How do I know I’m real?”
Suddenly I was back in graduate school. Should I talk about the French philosopher Rene Descartes to prove our existence, with the phrase “I think, therefore I am?” Or, mention English philosopher G. E. Moore and his famous “here is one hand, here is the other,” to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. “Close your eyes,” I said. She did. “Well, did you disappear?” She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. “Congratulations, you’re real.”
She grinned (露齿而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.

A．To take the subway. B．To look for strangers’ help.
C．To offer advice on life puzzles. D．To help strangers carry their bags.

3、How did the girl find the answer?
A．By hearing a story. B．By learning philosophy.
C．By referring to others’ words. D．By having a real experience.
4、Which of the following can best describe the author?
A．Strict and smart. B．Honest and brave.
C．Clever and helpful. D．Humorous and sociable
23．（8分）LONDON (Reuters)——Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said, “The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not, it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty. ” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market." said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
1、More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because ________.

A．It grows indoors all year round. B．It is grown on family farms.
C．It is produced outside Britain. D．It is produced on large farms.
3、What is the meaning of the underlined words “the organic trend” in Paragraph2?
A．Higher prices of organic food. B．Better quality of organic food.
C．Rising market of organic food. D．Growing interest in organic food.
