【題目】In Scotland, 600,000 tonnes of food are thrown away every year. This amount of food, which could as feed about 1.2 billion poor people, is almost a third of household (家庭) waste. And food waste isn't just a big problem in Scotland.

Money time, and resources (資源) are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet.

In the production stage, some foods do not enter the food chain for many reasons. Supermarkets usually care about the quality of food from farms. They often refuse strange-looking and unusually sized produce. However, they seem to forget that it is almost impossible to grow the perfect produce. Food waste at the consumption (消費(fèi)) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩飯) because of too much food. In households, even mostly fresh fruit and vegetables are thrown away.

In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:

Understanding the terms “use by” and “best before” dates. “Use by” dates are there for your safety. It is dangerous to eat food after the use-by date and doing so risks your health. “Best before” dates tell you how long the food will be at its best quality. Once the food passes the date, it isn't necessarily bad, but you should still check, just to be sure.

Every time you go shopping and you bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front. That way, you know what needs to be eaten first.

If you have any food that will expire soon, give it to charity if you aren't going to eat it. They will really appreciate the food you have given.

【1】What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Valuable. B. Dangerous.

C. Different. D. Unnecessary.

【2】What should people do to reduce food waste according to the text?

A. Pick usually sized produce.

B. Improve the quality of farm produce.

C. Order produce directly from farmers.

D. Avoid buying too much food at a time.

【3】What advice does the author offer to people?

A. Buy food that will expire soon to reduce waste.

B. Throw away food that passes the best-before date.

C. Place food carefully according to its expiry date.

D. Give food that has passed its use-by date to charity.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章告訴我們?nèi)绾螠p少食物浪費(fèi)。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段Money time, and resources (資源) are often wasted by throwing away good food. It also causes very harmful greenhouse gas, which is perilous to the planet. 金錢的時(shí)間和資源常常通過扔掉好食物被浪費(fèi)掉。它還會(huì)造成非常有害的溫室氣體，這對(duì)地球來說是危險(xiǎn)的。由此可知?jiǎng)澗�詞的意思是“危險(xiǎn)的”，故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Food waste at the consumption (消費(fèi)) stage includes food going out of date and leftovers (剩飯) because of too much food.可知，為了減少食物浪費(fèi)，一次避免買太多的食物。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)In order to reduce food waste, here is what we can do:Every time you go shopping and you bring back new food, put them at the back of your fridge and bring the food that will expire (到期) soon closer to the front.可知，作者建議根據(jù)過期日期仔細(xì)放置食物。故選C。

【題目】The London Underground (The Tube)

The main source of public transport in London revolves around the Underground (or the Tube as it is known to Londoners). This network of 12 lines can get you to most places in the center of the city quickly.

It’s almost necessary to get an Oyster Card or a Travelcard. Single tickets are priced starting at the intentionally absurd price of 4.80 (Zone1-3), if you pay cash. Using an Oyster Card, a single fare is 2.30 if you are traveling within the central Zone 1.

On hot days it is also advisable to take a bottle of water with you as Underground trains are not air-conditioned.

Last trains leave central London at around 00:30 weekdays, 23:30 Sundays. First trains leave the suburbs at around 5:00.

The Bus System

Outside the center of London, Tube Stations are farther apart, so buses help fill the gaps. Also, the bus offers a cheaper alternative, even if it is a slower journey.

Cash fares for London buses have been abolished — you cannot pay cash. A bus fare costs 1.50 if people only use buses, and the fare is capped at 4.40 per day for Oyster or contactless card users.

Light Rail and Trains

You can think of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Tramlink as extensions of the Underground, Travelcards purchased at Tube Stations in East London. The DLR connects with a number of the other train services (including connections at Tower Hill or Bank Stations) and can be used to reach Greenwich, Canary Wharf, and Stratford.

River Services

There are a number of different routes along the River Thames. The faster commuter services operate all day from Greenwich Pier to Embankment and from Putney and Chelsea harbour to Blackfriars during Peak Hours only. These routes will pass a number of places of interest including the Houses of Parliament and London Bridge. A return fare from Putney to Blackfriars will cost about 12 pounds.

National Rail

Once you leave Central London or if you are traveling South of the River Thames, the best public transport option will often be National Rail. There are numerous connections to the Rail System from the Tube. Travelcards can be used for travel on the National Rail (but not the Heathrow Express). Oyster cards can be used up to Zone 6 except certain services including Heathrow Express, Heathrow Connect and HS1.

【1】When taking the London Underground, you _______.

A.should buy tickets with cash

B.can go to any place in London quickly

C.can save more money with a single ticket

D.are advised to take a bottle of water along on hot days

【2】If you use river services along the River Thames, you will pass _______.

A.London BridgeB.Stratford

C.Canary WharfD.Tower Hill

【3】To travel South of the River Thames, it is recommended that you use _______.

A.the London UndergroundB.the Bus System

C.the DLR and the TramlinkD.National Rail
