Question

【題目】 October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger (饑餓).

Food shortage (匱乏) is a big problem around the world. Right now, there are more than 1 billion (10億) hungry people in the world. Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15 million of them die because of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts (干旱) and floods (洪澇) recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone. Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average (平均的) person throws away 50 kg of food every year, More than one third of all food produced goes to waste around the world each year according to the UN. That is1.3 billion tons of food being wasted.

If the wasted food was saved, it could feed lots of people. The amount of food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America (拉丁美洲) could feed 300 million people.

As teenagers, we should think twice next time we want to throw away extra (額外的) food on our own plate. By cutting down on food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger (饑餓).可知，世界糧食日的目的是提醒人們不要浪費(fèi)食物，要戰(zhàn)勝饑餓，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15 million of them die because of hunger each year.可知，每年有1500萬人因?yàn)轲囸I而死去，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts (干旱) and floods (洪澇) recently. This is bad for farmers and hurts their ability to grow food. Also, a growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone. Another big reason is food waste. 可知，食物短缺有幾個(gè)原因：首先，最近有更多的干旱和洪水。這對農(nóng)民不利，也損害了他們種植糧食的能力。此外，人口增長使養(yǎng)活所有人變得更加困難。另一個(gè)重要原因是食物浪費(fèi)。因此不包括農(nóng)民沒有能力種植糧食。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)By cutting down on food waste, we could also help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children.可知，通過減少食物浪費(fèi)，我們也可以幫助饑餓的人。 故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)he amount of food wasted in Europe could feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America (拉丁美洲) could feed 300 million people.可知，歐洲浪費(fèi)的糧食可以養(yǎng)活2億人，拉丁美洲浪費(fèi)的糧食可以養(yǎng)活3億人。因此拉丁美洲浪費(fèi)的食物比歐洲浪費(fèi)的食物更多，故選A。

認(rèn)真閱讀題干，根據(jù)題干要求，在文中尋找答案所在的語句或段落，進(jìn)行分析理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和概括歸納，選出正確的選項(xiàng)。例如小題2，根據(jù)Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15 million of them die because of hunger each year.可知，每年有1500萬人因?yàn)轲囸I而死去，故選D。
