以下题型为陕西专用 Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Think about what you had for lunch：Was it a hamburger？A chicken sandwich? Barbecue? What about vegetables？Would it surprise you to learn that what you eat can affect the whole planet?
It can—in a big way. New studies show how food and its production affect the globe and its warming climate.You've probably heard of global warming：The temperature is on the rise because humankind has been releasing (排放) amounts of gases into the atmosphere. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.
What does this have to do with food? A big part of the carbon dioxide that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from the process of making and eating food. The production of meat contributes a lot of that carbon dioxide.And much of meat's contribution comes from beef，which is responsible for releasing even more warming gases into the atmosphere. The process of making a hamburger, for example，requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised on farmland, and cow waste is a major source of methane (沼气)—an especially powerful greenhouse gas. The cow has to be killed. The meat has to be processed (加工) and shipped to a shop，which takes fuel. Most of the cow won't even be used for meat that people eat. By the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate，it has made a heavy effect on the environment. We can reduce the production of global?warming gases by eating less beef. Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environment—at least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. All kinds of meat are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes，for example, sends less than one?quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the air. So changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables, as it turns out，may do the world some good. 语篇解读：当你得知我们的日常饮食竟然会是导致全球气候变暖的一个重要因素时，定会大吃一惊。那就让我们倡导绿色饮食新观念吧！ 1．The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to ________.

One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother's arms，he cried out bitterly，“A boy，a big boy called me—a f?．..freak.”She sighed，knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks. He grew up，handsome for his misfortune.A favorite with his fellow students，he might have been class president，but for that.He developed a gift for literature and music. The boy's father had a talk with the family doctor.Could nothing be done？“I believe we could graft(移植) on a pair of outer ears，if they could be donated (捐献)，”the doctor decided.So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.Two years went by.“You're going to the hospital，son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it's a secret，”said the father.
The operation was a brilliant success.His talents blossomed into genius.School and college became a series of successes.Later he married and entered the diplomatic (外交) service.“But I must know！”he urged his father.“Who gave so much for me？I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believe you could，”said the father，“but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”The years kept the secret，but the day did come... one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son.He stood with his father over his mother's casket(棺材)．Slowly and tenderly，the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick，reddish?brown hair to let out the secret.
