板块一:真题再现
(2022·全国一卷·高考真题)
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula(芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, "food waste goes against the moral grain," as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story. It's jawdropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away — from "ugly" but quite edible vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, "if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world."
If that's hard to understand, let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don't think. "Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat," Curtin says.
24.What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A. We pay little attention to food waste. B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C. We waste more vegetables than meat. D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
25.What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?
A. Moral decline. B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation.
26.What does Curtin's company do?
A. It produces kitchen equipment. B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits. D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27.What does Curtin suggest people do?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week. D. Eat in restaurants less often.

板块六:语篇翻译(英译汉,黑体词为核心词)
Passage A
Food waste is a serious problem that we cannot ignore. Many people are not mindful of how much food they throw away. A grocer may reject perfectly edible vegetables simply because they look ugly. A family may purchase more food than necessary and end up throwing it away when it goes bad. The consequences are environmental as well as moral. If everyone plays a part in reducing waste, we can make a big difference.
Passage B
Mike Curtin's organization recovers food that would otherwise rot in fields or be thrown away. They accept donations from grocers and farmers, and volunteers help turn the food into healthy meals. The strawberries that were blemished but still edible were washed, cut, and frozen for later use. This obvious solution seems simple, yet it goes against the common practice of throwing away "ugly" food. Curtin suggests that everyone should pay attention to their purchasing habits.
Passage C
The story of the arugula in the author's refrigerator is a small example of a huge problem. Food waste is the third largest producer of greenhouse gases, which contributes to climate change. Reducing waste not only saves resources but also helps protect the environment. The invitation to change our habits is clear: buy only what you need, donate what you cannot use, and volunteer to help recover food for those in need. This environmental responsibility is something every one of us should take on.
板块七:参考译文(板块一完整真题语篇全文翻译)
像我们大多数人一样,我尽量留意食物浪费的问题。芝麻菜本用来做一份不错的蔬菜沙拉,为一顿烤鸡晚餐画上完美句号。但我最后加班了。接着朋友们打来电话邀请吃晚饭。我把鸡肉放进了冰箱。但几天过去了,芝麻菜坏了。更糟的是,我不假思索地买了太多;我扔掉的那些本来可以做六份沙拉。
在这个每年有近8亿人挨饿的世界里,“浪费食物违背道德准则,”正如伊丽莎白·罗伊特在本月的封面故事中所写。大量完好的食物被扔掉,令人瞠目结舌——从被杂货商拒绝的“丑陋”但完全可以食用的蔬菜,到被扔进餐厅垃圾桶的大量未吃的菜肴。
生产没人吃的食物浪费了用于种植的水、燃料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上,罗伊特写道,“如果食物浪费是一个国家,它将是世界上第三大温室气体生产国。”
如果这很难理解,我们不妨把它想得和我冰箱后面的芝麻菜一样简单。迈克·科廷经常看到我的芝麻菜故事——但对他来说,更像是12箱快要过期的捐赠草莓。科廷是华盛顿特区DC中央厨房的首席执行官,该公司回收食物并将其变成健康的餐食。去年,它通过接受捐赠和收集有瑕疵的农产品(否则就会烂在地里)回收了超过807,500磅的食物。那些草莓呢?志愿者会清洗、切块,然后冷冻或烘干,以备日后制作餐食时使用。
这些方法似乎显而易见,但我们常常就是不去想。“每个人都可以在减少浪费中发挥作用,无论是在每周购物时不购买超出必要的食物,还是要求餐馆不包含你不会吃的配菜,”科廷说。
【参考答案】
板块一答案
【答案】24.B 25.B 26.D 27. A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,呼吁人们节约粮食,减少浪费,珍惜劳动成果,保护自然资源。
【详解】
24.B 推理判断题 根据第一段I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. But I ended up working late ... unthinkingly bought way too much.可知,作者有心避免浪费食物,但却因加班、与朋友聚餐以及买得太多而使得芝麻菜腐坏,由此推断我们有时会在无意中浪费食物。B选项中的unintentionally与文中的unthinkingly为同义异构。
25.B 事实细节题 根据第三段前两句Producing food that no one eats wastes the water ... an environmental problem.可知,食物浪费会引发环境问题。
26.D 事实细节题 根据第四段第三句Curtin is CEO of ...recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.可知,Curtin所在的公司旨在将人们不想要的食品转化为健康的食物,D项符合文意。
27.A 事实细节题 根据最后一段第二句Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by ... or by ... you won't eat.可知,Curtin建议人们通过仅购买所需食品,以及要求餐馆不提供顾客不吃的配菜来减少食物浪费,A项符合文意。

板块六答案(参考译文)
Passage A
食物浪费是一个我们不能忽视的严重问题。许多人不注意他们扔掉了多少食物。杂货商可能会拒绝完全可食用的蔬菜,仅仅因为它们看起来丑陋。一个家庭可能会购买超出必要量的食物,最终在食物变质时将其扔掉。后果既是环境方面的,也是道德方面的。如果每个人都在减少浪费中发挥作用,我们就可以带来巨大的改变。
Passage B
迈克·科廷的组织回收那些否则会烂在地里或被扔掉的食品。他们接受杂货商和农民的捐赠,志愿者帮助将这些食物变成健康的餐食。那些有瑕疵但仍然可以食用的草莓被清洗、切块并冷冻以备后用。这个显而易见的解决方案看似简单,但它违背了扔掉“丑陋”食物的普遍做法。科廷建议每个人都应该注意自己的购买习惯。
Passage C
作者冰箱里的芝麻菜故事是一个巨大问题的小例子。食物浪费是第三大温室气体生产者,这导致了气候变化。减少浪费不仅节约资源,还有助于保护环境。改变我们习惯的邀请是明确的:只购买你需要的东西,捐赠你用不完的,志愿帮助回收食物给需要的人。这个环境责任是我们每个人都应承担的。
