"Eating is a moral act, " as my friend David Andrews, a fellow promoter of sustainable agriculture, is fond of saying. Although we may not give it much thought, what we choose to eat is a【S1】_____of our basic values and beliefs.
For the most part, Americans want their food to be quick, convenient, and cheap—【S2】_____of whether they buy it at a supermarket or a【S3】_____fast-food franchise. Americans like things that are fast and easy, requiring minimal personal or economic sacrifice.
Americans also【S4】_____"looking good" and choose foods that "look good". Some are even willing to spend a lot of money on food that makes them "look good"—as when they eat in【S5】_____restaurants. The characteristics of America’s dominant food culture are cost.convenience, and【S6】_____.
However, a new American food ethic is emerging to challenge these dominant values. The【S7】_____growth in demand for organic foods, averaging more than 20% per year for more than a decade, is【S8】_____one among several indicators of a new food ethic.
Organic foods were neither cheaper nor more【S9】_____than conventional food, nor were they more convenient to acquire. The early organic consumers were more【S10】_____to be labeled as "counter-cultural" than as "trend setters". Those who chose organic foods obviously were expressing a different food ethic. Farmers’ markets, community supported agriculture organizations, and other means of direct food marketing have experienced growth rates similar to those for organic foods.
A)appearance I)regardless
B)likely J)possible
C)but K)value
D)emphasize L)affect
E)reflection M)local
F)attractive N)utterly
G)appropriately O)rapid
H)expensive
【S3】
选项
答案
M
解析
由空格前的不定冠词和后面的名词可知,本处需填形容词。空格所在句句意为“多半情况下,美国人希望自己的食物快捷、方便、廉价——不管是在超市买来的,还是在 快餐连锁店买来的。”根据句意,local“当地的”意思最合适。
