　　社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2011安徽,D)Ireland has had a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland.For hundreds of years,the Irish people fought against the English.Finally,in 1921,the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”.Northern Ireland,in the north,is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland,in the south,is an independent country.

　　In the 1840s the main crop,potatoes,was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.This,and a shortage (短缺) of work,forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA,the UK,Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems,the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

　　For many years,the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Today,many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside,where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

　　The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde,a famous Irish writer,once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence,Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music,language,literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin,whistles,etc.

　　语篇解读:本文为说明文,主要介绍了爱尔兰的历史、人口、生活、文化等内容。

　　2.A　推理判断题。根据第二段首句提到,在19世纪40年代,爱尔兰的主要农作物——土豆受到病害的影响,有大约750000人死于饥饿,且还讲到,食物缺乏是爱尔兰人移民的一个原因。由此可知,食物缺乏导致了人口减少。

　　3.B　主旨大意题。概括最后一段可知,本段主要介绍了爱尔兰的文化,故答案为B项。其余选项本段虽有所提及,但都属于本段的部分内容,无法概括本段大意,故可排除。

　　【2017界广东深圳市第二次调研考试

　　All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.

　　We all waste food, you and me millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.

　　In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.

　　Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失败) date.

　　Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?

　　Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.
