Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. 【1】 Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate!

Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP.

According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people. 【2】 There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers.

People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger. 【3】 An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food.

Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world. 【4】 In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了世界上還有很多人在遭受貧困和饑餓，分析了造成這種情況的原因。

【1】E 根據(jù)上句：想象一下，不知道你的下一頓飯從哪里來。再根據(jù)下句：今天世界上11%的人遭受饑餓的痛苦。故E項(xiàng)That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.（那就是世界上8.05億人的命運(yùn)。）符合上下文的語境。

【2】D 根據(jù)上句：世界生產(chǎn)足夠的糧食養(yǎng)活70億人的全部人口。再根據(jù)下句：食物沒有送到消費(fèi)者手中，這有很多理由。故此空要表達(dá)的意思是：還有很多人沒有飯吃。此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折，故選D。

【3】G 根據(jù)上句：他們很難賺錢擺脫貧困和饑餓。再根據(jù)下句：在美國，一個普通人僅花費(fèi)收入的6.6%用在食物上。故G項(xiàng)Do you know in poor countries people spend over 80% of their earnings on food?（你知道貧窮國家的人們要花費(fèi)收入的80%在食物上嗎？）符合上下文語境。

【4】F 根據(jù)上句：干旱是世界上最常見的食物短缺的原因之一。再根據(jù)下句：在很多國家，氣候變化正在惡化局勢。故此空要表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該是：自然災(zāi)害也影響糧食的產(chǎn)量。故選F。

【5】C 根據(jù)下句：浪費(fèi)的食物消耗了寶貴的自然資源。故上句的意思是：所有的食物中的三分之一從來不會被消費(fèi)，也就是被浪費(fèi)掉了。故選C。

【名師點(diǎn)撥】

1.根據(jù)上下文的語境來確定選項(xiàng)。一般在空格的上一句或下一句，也許是上、下句中會有暗示。比如第37小題根據(jù)上句：一個印第安人也許使用一匹矮種馬做暗號。根據(jù)空格后的一句：或者他使用煙，鏡子或者火箭。可知此處表達(dá)的意思是：他也許使用一條毯子。故選B。此處體現(xiàn)的是一種并列的關(guān)系。39小題F根據(jù)上句：干旱是世界上最常見的食物短缺的原因之一。再根據(jù)下句：在很多國家，氣候變化正在惡化局勢。故此空要表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該是：自然災(zāi)害也影響糧食的產(chǎn)量。故選F。

2. 七選五閱讀題，有部分題出現(xiàn)在每一段的開始位置，若問題在段首 1.通常是段落主題句。認(rèn)真閱讀該段落，根據(jù)段落一致性原則，查找相關(guān)詞或者同義詞，從而推測出主題句，找到答案。 2.與后文是并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果關(guān)系等。著重閱讀后文第一兩句，鎖定線索信號詞，然后在選項(xiàng)中查找 相關(guān)特征詞。一般來說正確答案與它后面的一句話的在意思上是銜接的，所以通常情況下，這兩句話中會 有某種的銜接手段。40.小題C根據(jù)下句：浪費(fèi)的食物消耗了寶貴的自然資源。可知上句的意思是：所有的食物中的三分之一從來不會被消費(fèi)。也就是被浪費(fèi)掉。故選C。
