　　A．has beenB．have been

　　C．is being

　　D．are being

　　答案：A　考查主谓一致。主语是some necessary equipment，equipment为不可数名词，所以谓语动词用单数形式。时间状语为since＋过去时，所以用完成时。

　　A．take up

　　B．put up

　　C．build up

　　D．hold up

　　A．devotes to

　　B．sticks to

　　C．refers to

　　D．leads to

　　答案：D　考查动词短语。该句为强调句型，强调的是句子主语“sleeping late in the morning”。lead to“导致”，符合语境。devote oneself to(be devoted to)“献身于”；stick to“坚持”；refer to“提及；参考”。

　　4．(2017·山师大附中高三质检)All her energies ________ upon her children, and she seems to have little time for anything else.

　　D．focused

　　答案：B　句意：她把所有的精力都倾注在她孩子身上，几乎没有时间关注其他的事情。focus与介词on或upon连用，意为“集中(注意力、精力等)于”。aim常与介词at连用；主语energies与focus构成被动关系，故使用被动语态。

　　—________ alone to face the troublesome case.

　　A．Left

　　B．Being left

　　C．having left

　　D．To leave

　　答案：B　考查动词­ing形式作主语。句意：——是什么让他最近这么焦虑？——独自被留下来面对问题事件。答语是只保留了主语的省略句，且he与leave之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式。

　　9．(2017·安庆高三质检)This is a ________ problem, which can be seen from her ________ look.

　　A．confusing; confusing

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　(2017·济南模拟)

　　An average 30­year­old person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date. Even if you've only eaten half that much you have to admit this: you've let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization.

　　That's the weight of more than 8.6 million full­grown blue whales,

　　the largest creatures on earth.

　　That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. That's as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food they could just throw into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable,_isn't it?

　　Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. Per capita (人均), European and North American countries waste between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. Sub­Saharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less—between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.

　　Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that sub­Saharan Africa produces.

　　The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.

　　And my own personal tip: if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.

　　文章大意：这是一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告，目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。

　　1．According to the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization, how much food do people produce each year in the

　　world?

　　A．About 3.3 billion tons.

　　B．About 3.9 billion tons.

　　C．About 4.3 billion tons.

　　D．About 5.6 billion tons.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句话可知，每年全球生产的所有食物中，30%被浪费或丢失，约有13亿吨，由此可以计算出每年的食物产量为13亿吨÷30%≈43亿吨。

　　2．What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?

　　A．Possible to imagine.

　　B．Impossible to change.

　　C．Impossible to understand.

　　D．Possible to understand.

　　答案：C　词义猜测题。根据第二段的叙述可知：每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物蓝鲸的重量，也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机A380空中客车的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的中国，人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的”。

　　3．It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support ________.

　　A．half the people in Europe

　　B．most people of America

　　C．most people of Asia

　　D．most people of Africa

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent”可推知，富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。

　　4．The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that ______.

　　A．he was once very poor

　　B．he was once a farmer

　　C．he once worked in a restaurant

　　D．the price of food is very high

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was piad.”可知，作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。

　　5．What is the purpose of this article?

　　A．To show the author's opinion of food.

　　B．To let us live more wisely and not waste food.

　　C．To show the amount of wasted food a year.

　　D．To ask the richest countries to help African people.

　　答案：B　写作目的题。根据第一段倒数第二句话“And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted lost.”和最后一段最后两句话“There's reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.”可推知，文章的写作目的在于让人们不要浪费食物，更明智地生活。
