In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that dont look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失败) date.Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at whats left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite Chinas impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.31According to paragraph 1and2, we know that food waste is .Ahuge worldwideBmainly in USAConly in rich countriesDjust in African countries【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据无论是发达国家还是发展中国家都有食物浪费的现象，食物的浪费是全球性的，故选A。32In developing countries, food is lost mainly .Afor the lack of cooling and storageBbecause of easy access to marketsCbecause of the wet weatherDbecause of the quality of the food【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops.在发展中国家食物的浪费主要是由于缺乏冷藏和储存的条件，故选A。33The main reason for food waste in China is .Athe effect of consumer cultureBthe convenient food supplyCthe worry about food qualityDpeoples bein
