【答案】4.B5.B6.D7.A

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们日常生活中的食物浪费现象以及华盛顿DC中央厨房的首席

执行官科廷为解决食物浪费而采取的努力。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的"Likemostofus,Itrytobemindfuloffoodthatgoestowaste.（像我们大多数人

一样，我努力关注那些被浪费的食物）"及"Butasdayspassed,thearugulawentbad.Evenworse,Ihad

unthinkinglyboughtwaytoomuch;couldhavemadesixsaladswithwhatIthrewout.（但随着时间的推移,芝麻

菜变坏了。更糟糕的是，我不假思索地买了太多东西；我扔掉的东西可以做六份沙拉）”可推知，作者想通

过讲述芝麻菜的故事来表明我们有时会无意间浪费食物。故选B。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段"Producingfoodthatnooneeatswastesthewater,fuel,andother,resourcesusedto

growit.Thatmakesfoodwasteanenvironmentalproblem.Infact,Roytewrites,“iffoodwastewereacountry,it

wouldbethethirdlargestproducerofgreenhousegasesintheworld.”（生产没人吃的食物会浪费用于种植食物

的水、燃料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上，罗伊特写道，“如果食物浪费是一

个国家，它将是世界上第三大温室气体排放国。“）”可知，根据文中的说法，浪费食物的一个后果是对环

境的危害。故选B。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"CurtinisCEOofDCCentralKitcheninWashington.D.C.,whichrecovers

foodandturnsitintohealthymeals.Lastyearitrecoveredmorethan807,500poundsoffoodbytakingdonations

andcollectingblemished（有瑕疵的）produce,thalo
