Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s good to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. ___3___ Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. ___4___ There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. ___5___ It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful. A. Students waste is extremely serious, B. To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. C. China in turn, features its own eating culture. D. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg. E. So we shouldn’t waste our food. F. Students can never realize the serious food waste situation. G. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. C 4. B 5. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了浪费食物现象的严重性，分析了其原因，节约粮食的必要性和具体措施。 【1题详解】 根据上句“What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? 　”（如果你不能把在食堂买的东西都吃了怎么办?）可知，问在餐厅吃不完的饭菜怎么办，所以选项承上启下，说明大多数人的做法，以及带来的后果。根据下句“According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.”（根据一项调查，学生每年浪费的食物可以养活1000多万人）故G选项“我们大多数人会直接扔掉任何剩余的食物”切题。故选G。 【2题详解】 根据上段“According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.”（根据一项调查，学生每年浪费的食物可以养活1000多万人）和本段“According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.”（据新华社报道，中国人每年浪费的粮食大约有5000万吨，这可以养活2亿人。）对比可知中国人浪费掉的粮食能够养活两亿人，说明食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角，故选D。 【3题详解】 根据本段“Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries.”（食物浪费已经成为一个全球性的问题，它是一面镜子，反映了不同国家的各种文化和社会问题。） 可知食物浪费现象反映一个国家的饮食文化和习惯。所以选项要说到中国的饮食文化。下文“Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.”（中国人以好客和慷慨著称。许多人甚至觉得，如果他们的客人把所有的食物都吃完了，他们会觉得很丢脸。）故C选项“中国也有自己的饮食文化”切题。故选C。 【4题详解】 根据本段“There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 　　　　　It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful.”（世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。同样重要的是，每个人都应该思考如何为减少食物浪费尽一份力。最近，中国网上发起了一场反对食物浪费的运动，这可能会让你对这种浪费行为三思而后行。）可知本段讲减少食物浪费所面临的困难。故B选项“减少食物浪费是一项艰巨的任务，需要时间。”故选B。 【5题详解】 根据上文“There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.”（世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够的食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。）选项承接上文，说明人们应该怎么做。故E项“我们不应该浪费粮食”切题，故选E。 8、 完形填空 （福建省泉州市2024-2025高一下学期期末）Tang Beijia, founder of GoZeroWaste, a media platform that focuses on zero-waste living, used to have a negative view of environmental protection.
