　　四、阅读理解

　　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 date(终止日期).

　　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.

　　1.According to Paragraph 1,we know that food waste is　. 

　　A.huge worldwide

　　B.mainly in the USA

　　C.only in rich countries

　　D.just in African countries

　　2.In developing countries,food is lost mainly　. 

　　A.for the lack of cooling,storage and market access

　　B.because of easy access to markets

　　C.because of the wet weather

　　D.because of the quality of food

　　3.The main reason for food waste in China is　. 

　　A.the effect of consumer culture

　　B.the convenient food supply

　　C.the worry about food quality

　　D.people’s being particular about food

　　4.How do Chinese feel when they leave restaurants with much food left behind?

　　A.Generous.

　　B.Unconscious. C.Wealthy. D.Valuable.

　　5.The purpose of the passage is to tell us　. 

　　A.not to waste any food from now on

　　B.the necessity to improve food quality

　　C.the fact of food waste in developed countries

　　D.the influence of consumer culture on Chinese

　　一、单句填空

　　1.shocking　句意:一听到他死亡的令人震惊的消息时,她大声哭了出来。考查非谓语动词。设空处修饰news,故填shocking令人震惊的。

　　2.it　句意:——对不起!到最近的邮局怎么走呢? ——沿着这条路走几分钟,你就能找到。考查固定短语。make it是固定短语,意为“获得成功;准时到达”。

　　3.patience　句意:我会尽快调查这件事的,请耐心等待。考查名词。设空处前为a little,故填名词patience,“耐心”。

　　4.as　句意:尽管听起来难以置信,但是一个17岁的男孩在2017年竟然出版了三部小说。考查让步状语从句。as在引导让步状语从句时,其后的表语名词或形容词或作状语的副词或动词原形要提到句首进行倒装,故填as。

　　5.relief　句意:使我们松一口气的是,我弟弟的病并没有像我们所担心的那样严重。考查名词。to one’s relief 固定短语,“令人轻松的是,令人宽慰的是”。

　　6.stands　句意:就在我们家的房前有一棵有一千年历史的大树。表示地点的状语置于句首,句子要用完全倒装,把谓语动词全部提到主语之前,主语a tall tree是单数,所以答案为stands。

　　7.did　句意:他们去森林野餐时,不仅仅带着快餐和饮料,还带着扑克来娱乐一下。not only置于句首,后面的分句要用部分倒装结构。

　　8.the;a　句意:——你能就如何改善我们企业的经营管理提点建议吗?——如果你们能充分利用这些设备的话,产量就会增加。考查冠词。第一个空考查固定搭配make the most of sth.充分利用某物;第二个空是泛指,a rise in某一方面的增长。

　　9.climbing　句意:因为他习惯了爬陡峭的山脉,所以他毫不费力地到达了山顶。根据固定搭配be accustomed to doing sth.可知答案为climbing。

　　10.is acknowledged　句意:该电影节被人们认为是具有国际重要性的事件。考查be acknowledged as被承认,被认为。

　　二、语法填空

　　[语篇解读]　为什么人们使用世界上的能源的时候根本不考虑是否还有更多的资源可以利用?到底有多少人会为环保而付出一点努力?

　　1.where　考查宾语从句。where引导的宾语从句作介词about的宾语。

　　2.actually　考查词形转换。这里需要一个副词修饰动词,用来加强语气。

　　3.better　考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的even可知此处用比较级。

　　4.is looked　考查被动语态。这里指的是人们是如何看待“going green”的,也就是其被如何看待的,所以用被动语态。

　　5.who/that　考查定语从句。本句中含有定语从句,先行词是people,who或者that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。

　　6.that　考查名词性从句。句意:人们一直争论不休的就是美国人应该更加环保,而且更有效地使用能源。句中it是形式主语,that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。

　　7.coming　考查非谓语动词。这里用keep doing sth表示“继续做某事”。

　　8.truly　考查词形转换。这里需要一个副词修饰动词want,用来加强语气。

　　9.is happening　考查动词的时态。此处用现在进行时表将来。

　　10.questions　考查名词。根据句中的all可知,这里的question应该使用复数形式。
