Section Grammar.阅读理解AAn average 30yearold person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30，000 meals to date. Even if youve only eaten half that much have to admit this:youve let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out were all to blame for this shaming fact:30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. Thats about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the UN. Food and Agriculture Organization.Thats the weight of more than 8.6 million fullgrown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. Thats the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. Thats as if each person in China, the worlds most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food thrown into the dustbin. Its almost unfathomable, isnt it?Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. On average, a person in European and North American countries wastes between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. SubSaharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much lessbetween 6 and 11 kilograms per person.Heres another statistic:all the food that the worlds richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that subSaharan Africa produces. The numbers:222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as weve just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.And my own personal tip:if I eat at a restaurant and cant finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. Theres no reason to waste food. Its up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告，目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。1What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?APossible to imagine.BImpossible to change.CImpossible to understand.DPossible to understand.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物蓝鲸的重量，也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机空中客车A380的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的国家中国，人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的，深不可测的”。2It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support_Ahalf the people in EuropeBmost people of AmericaCmost people of AsiaDmost people of Africa解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent.”可推知，富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。3The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that_.Ahe was once very poorBhe was once a farmerChe once worked in a restaurantDthe price of food is very high解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid.”可知，作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。4What is the purpose of this article?ATo show the authors opinion of food.BTo let us live more wisely and not waste food.CTo show the amount of wasted food a year.DTo ask the richest countries to help African people.解析：选B写作意图题。根据第一段倒数第二句“And it turns out were all to blame for this shaming fact:30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost.”和最后一段最后两句“Theres no reason to waste food.
