　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　Worldwide, at least one-third of all food produced is wasted every year. With an extra two billion mouths to feed by 2050 global food waste is an escalating

　　issue that is difficult to ignore.

　　We throw away or waste 1.3 billion tons a year at a cost of $1 trillion, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

　　In industrialized nations, almost half of the food spoiled — roughly 300 million tons yearly — is still fit for consumption. This is more than the total food production of sub-Saharan Africa, and enough to feed the estimated 870 million people currently hungry in the world today.

　　The FAO set up a Think. Eat. Save campaign in January 2017 to try to change the way we view food. In partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), they are trying to reduce food loss along the entire chain — from farm to fork, boost awareness both at a household level and at a national level, and help both individuals and organizations to reduce food waste.

　　?This is a complex issue,” said Nick Nuttall, a UNEP spokesperson. “If you do not measure or monitor it, you can’t manage it.

　　As travelers become more aware of the challenge and impact of food waste, increasing numbers are likely to choose hotels and restaurants with policies and programmes in place.”

　　In the UK, the government-funded recycling programme WRAP has signed up hotels and restaurants for a campaign to reduce food waste, including the Accor Group, Jury’s Inn, Red Carnation and Travelodge hotel groups. Their aim is to reduce waste by 5% by 2017, which would save estimated 720 million tons a year.

　　People in rich regions, such as in Europe and North America, consume roughly 900 kg of food every year, and per capita waste is around 115 kg a year, compared to sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where they only throw away up to 11 kg a year, according to the FAO.

　　1. In the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.

　　A. at least one-third of all food produced is wasted annually in the USA

　　B. global food waste is a growing problem that is to deal with without delay

　　C. we waste more than 1.3 trillion tons of food every year

　　D. nearly half of 300 million tons of food wasted is still fit for consumption

　　2. According to the passage, the campaign Think. Eat. Save is ________.

　　A. established by the UNEP in 2017

　　B. to change the way the food is consumed

　　C. set up by the UNEP and FAO

　　D. to change the way we think of food

　　3. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.

　　A. the hotel measure

　　B. the food production

　　C. the restaurant policy

　　D. the food waste

　　4. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ________.

　　A. people in poor areas waste less food than those in wealthy areas

　　B. per capita waste is 115 kg in Europe

　　C. there is no waste in poor regions

　　D. there is the least waste in Southeast Asia

　　5. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage?

　　A. The importance of playing our part in the global food crisis.

　　B. A worldwide increasing serious issue — the food waste.

　　C. The measures that the whole world is taking are to reduce the food waste.

　　D. The global people’s awareness in reducing the food waste.

　　答案与解析

　　【文章大意】

　　本文是一篇说明文。文中用了大量的事实和数据向我们说明了全球日益严重的食物浪费问题，从而告诉我们在应对全球粮食浪费问题的过程中每个人都应该尽自己的一份责任的重要性。

　　1. 答案

　　B

　　解析

　　细节理解题。根据文中首段的第二句With an extra two billion mouths to feed by 2050, global food waste is an escalating issue that is difficult to ignore可知，全球粮食浪费问题是一个逐渐加剧的并且不能忽视的问题。故选B项。

　　2. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　细节理解题。文中第三段提到The FAO set up a Think. Eat. Save campaign in January 2017 to try to change the way we view food可知，联合国粮食与农业组织于2017年1月创建了Think. Eat. Save运动，目的是改变我们对食物的看法。故选D项。

　　3. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　代词指代题。根据上文提到的This is a complex issue可知，食物浪费是一个复杂的问题，此处紧承上文进行论述“如果不对此问题加以调节和监督的话，你们就无法应对它”，故此处it代指上文的a complex issue，即the food waste。

　　4. 答案

　　A

　　解析

　　推理判断题。此段提到了在富裕地区，如欧洲和北美，每年大约消耗900公斤食物，人均每年浪费115公斤左右，而在撒哈拉以南非洲地区和东南亚，人们每年只扔掉最多11公斤的食物，由此可推知“贫穷地区的人浪费的食物比富裕地区的少得多”。故选A项。

　　5. 答案

　　A

　　解析

　　主旨大意题。本文首段引入全球日益严重的粮食浪费问题，然后逐段对此主题进行论述，从而告诉我们在应对全球粮食浪费问题的过程中每个人都应该尽自己的一份责任的重要性。故选A项。
