　　四、閱讀理解

　　All of us should keep a kitchen diary,showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.We all waste food,you and me,millions of tons of it.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 don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape,or milk and other products close to their expiry date(終止日期).

　　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 what’s 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 China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades,the job is not completed yet.

　　1.According to Paragraph 1,we know that food waste is　.?

　　A.huge worldwide

　　B.mainly in the USA

　　C.only in rich countries

　　D.just in African countries

　　2.In developing countries,food is lost mainly　.?

　　A.for the lack of cooling,storage and market access

　　B.because of easy access to markets

　　C.because of the wet weather

　　D.because of the quality of food

　　3.The main reason for food waste in China is　.?

　　A.the effect of consumer culture

　　B.the convenient food supply

　　C.the worry about food quality

　　D.people’s being particular about food

　　4.How do Chinese feel when they leave restaurants with much food left behind?

　　A.Generous.

　　B.Unconscious. C.Wealthy. D.Valuable.

　　5.The purpose of the passage is to tell us　.?

　　A.not to waste any food from now on

　　B.the necessity to improve food quality

　　C.the fact of food waste in developed countries

　　D.the influence of consumer culture on Chinese

　　一、單句填空

　　1.shocking　句意:一聽到他死亡的令人震驚的消息時(shí),她大聲哭了出來。考查非謂語動詞。設(shè)空處修飾news,故填shocking令人震驚的。

　　2.it　句意:——對不起!到最近的郵局怎么走呢? ——沿著這條路走幾分鐘,你就能找到。考查固定短語。make it是固定短語,意為“獲得成功;準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)”。

　　3.patience　句意:我會盡快調(diào)查這件事的,請耐心等待。考查名詞。設(shè)空處前為a little,故填名詞patience,“耐心”。

　　4.as　句意:盡管聽起來難以置信,但是一個17歲的男孩在2024年竟然出版了三部小說。考查讓步狀語從句。as在引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時(shí),其后的表語名詞或形容詞或作狀語的副詞或動詞原形要提到句首進(jìn)行倒裝,故填as。

　　5.relief　句意:使我們松一口氣的是,我弟弟的病并沒有像我們所擔(dān)心的那樣嚴(yán)重。考查名詞。to one’s relief 固定短語,“令人輕松的是,令人寬慰的是”。

　　6.stands　句意:就在我們家的房前有一棵有一千年歷史的大樹。表示地點(diǎn)的狀語置于句首,句子要用完全倒裝,把謂語動詞全部提到主語之前,主語a tall tree是單數(shù),所以答案為stands。

　　7.did　句意:他們?nèi)ド忠安蜁r(shí),不僅僅帶著快餐和飲料,還帶著撲克來娛樂一下。not only置于句首,后面的分句要用部分倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　8.the;a　句意:——你能就如何改善我們企業(yè)的經(jīng)營管理提點(diǎn)建議嗎?——如果你們能充分利用這些設(shè)備的話,產(chǎn)量就會增加。考查冠詞。第一個空考查固定搭配make the most of sth.充分利用某物;第二個空是泛指,a rise in某一方面的增長。

　　9.climbing　句意:因?yàn)樗?xí)慣了爬陡峭的山脈,所以他毫不費(fèi)力地到達(dá)了山頂。根據(jù)固定搭配be accustomed to doing sth.可知答案為climbing。

　　10.is acknowledged　句意:該電影節(jié)被人們認(rèn)為是具有國際重要性的事件。考查be acknowledged as被承認(rèn),被認(rèn)為。

　　二、語法填空

　　[語篇解讀]　為什么人們使用世界上的能源的時(shí)候根本不考慮是否還有更多的資源可以利用?到底有多少人會為環(huán)保而付出一點(diǎn)努力?

　　1.where　考查賓語從句。where引導(dǎo)的賓語從句作介詞about的賓語。

　　2.actually　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。這里需要一個副詞修飾動詞,用來加強(qiáng)語氣。

　　3.better　考查形容詞的比較級。根據(jù)句中的even可知此處用比較級。

　　4.is looked　考查被動語態(tài)。這里指的是人們是如何看待“going green”的,也就是其被如何看待的,所以用被動語態(tài)。

　　5.who/that　考查定語從句。本句中含有定語從句,先行詞是people,who或者that引導(dǎo)定語從句并在從句中作主語。

　　6.that　考查名詞性從句。句意:人們一直爭論不休的就是美國人應(yīng)該更加環(huán)保,而且更有效地使用能源。句中it是形式主語,that引導(dǎo)的主語從句作真正的主語。

　　7.coming　考查非謂語動詞。這里用keep doing sth表示“繼續(xù)做某事”。

　　8.truly　考查詞形轉(zhuǎn)換。這里需要一個副詞修飾動詞want,用來加強(qiáng)語氣。

　　9.is happening　考查動詞的時(shí)態(tài)。此處用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表將來。

　　10.questions　考查名詞。根據(jù)句中的all可知,這里的question應(yīng)該使用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
