(2024·安康模拟)
It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.
In these not-too-long-ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chook(鸡)for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?
The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the“fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.
The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of“time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.
The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life.
By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms(节奏)around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle. (301W)

A. eat each meal slowly

A. Fast, busy, stressful.

A. got used to fast life
B. benefited from fast life

4.【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词作定语。句意: 我们希望正在进行的建筑项目尽快完成, 因为很多市民在抱怨噪音。根据句意和句子结构可知此处being carried out作定语修饰the building project。因为carry out(执行)和被修饰词之间是被动关系, 且强调动作正在进行, 所以用动词-ing形式的被动式。
