For many people living in big cities, they often have enough food, so they don’t realize how much food they waste. But for people living in some parts of the world, they don’t have enough food to eat.
As an individual (个人), what can we do to settle the problem of food waste
Welcome “ugly food”
In fact, food waste starts on farms. On the farm, farmers usually choose pretty vegetables and fruit and send them to the nearby supermarkets. Then those ugly vegetables and fruit often go to waste.
Usually, ugly vegetables and fruit are of the same quality as those beautiful ones. So we can
choose ugly vegetables and fruit that often get left behind on farms but are safe to eat.
Buy local food
Now all over the world, many cities encourage people to buy local food. It is a good idea because a lot of food waste happens during transportation (运输). If the storage conditions for fresh food are not good enough, a lot of food will rot (腐烂) along the way. It means before reaching supermarkets, the food has to be thrown away. So buy local food, and cut food waste.
Make shopping plans
In our daily life, we can plan our meals and buy only what we need. By making a shopping list and sticking to it, we can avoid overbuying and wasting food.

【答案】例文
My Voice
A lot of things happen at school every day. But one phenomenon catches my attention.
After every meal, there is a lot of food left. The leftovers are a huge waste of money and resources. From my point of view, reasons for this are as follows: First, some students are very particular about canteen food. If the food they order is not to their taste, they choose to have little or none of it. Second, the canteen is not well managed. The food items are very limited. Worse still, the food is not delicious. So, the canteen managers are also to blame for such wastage.
Here I have some suggestions. To students, you should know food as a resource is limited and that wasting is shameful. After all, many people are still starving. To canteen managers, you should develop more food items and get all the food well cooked. It’s time for us all to stop wasting food! Let’s make a difference!
I hope our school can pay attention to this phenomenon and develop better in the future.

七、任务型阅读
阅读材料，根据要求完成阅读任务，并将其正确答案用黑色墨水笔或黑色签字笔填写在答题卡规定的位置上。
The next time you think about cleaning out your fridge and throwing away anything you don’t want to eat, consider this: Each year, we waste 1.3 billion tons of food—about a third of all the food that’s produced. 173 kg of food per person is wasted per year. ①Let’s see how harmful food waste is and what can we do to stop it.
Chart I: How much food is wasted through the whole supply
One way to waste food unnecessarily is to throw away something because of its expiration date (保质期). Expiration dates are suggestions from the producer. There are usually two kinds of expiration dates—BEST BEFORE and USE BY. How much do you know the meaning
Chart II: The meaning of expiration dates
BEST BEFORE: You can still eat the food after this date, but not at its best. USE BY: You can’t eat the food after this date.
②事实上，世界上一些地方的人们没有足够的食物。With so many people around the world being in hunger and short of food, ending food waste could be a serious thing. Besides, it’s no secret that food production is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions (排放). About 45% of the waste food is fruit and vegetables. A company called Snact is dealing with food waste by drying ugly and unwanted fruit to produce a tasty fruit snack.
Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste. Snact offers a way to save fruit. Have you got any ideas

68．请将文中①处翻译成中文。
69．请将文中②处翻译成英文。
【答案】65．A. food processing B. primary production 66．Yes, we/I can. 67．Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste. 68．让我们看看食物浪费有多大的危害，以及我们能做什么来阻止这件事。 69．In fact/To be honest/Actually, people in some places around/in/of the world don’t have enough food.
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章通过图表阐述了食物浪费带来的危害，呼吁人们不要浪费食物。
65．根据题目中已给出的提示，可匹配文中的图表1的内容，分析食物浪费占比由多到少的排列规律，可知A空应填food processing，B空应填primary production。
66．根据文中表格的内容可知，“Best before”代表该食品过期仍可以吃，结合“You can still eat the food after this date, but not at its best.”可知，题目所描述的在10月2日吃保质期为10月1日的食品是可以的。故填Yes, we/I can.
67．“Everybody should play a part in saving food.”意为“每个人都应该在节约粮食方面发挥作用。”与文中最后一段首句“Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste.”匹配，意为“每个人都应该反对食物浪费。”均表达每个人应该节约粮食，不应该浪费食物。故填Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste.
68．分析句子可知，本句是祈使句，and连接两个并列的从句，how harmful food waste is 意为“食物浪费有多大危害”，what can we do to stop it“我们能做什么来阻止这件事”，Let’s see意为“让我们看看”，故填“让我们看看食物浪费有多大的危害，以及我们能做什么 来阻止这件事。”
69．事实上In fact/To be honest/Actually，后加逗号；世界上一些地方的人们people in some places around/in/of the world，地点放在人物后；足够的食物enough food；结合语境可知时态为一般现在时，句子为否定句，主语为people，因此助动词用don’t。故填In fact/To be honest/Actually, people in some places around/in/of the world don’t have enough food.

As an individual (个人), what can we do to settle the problem of food waste
Welcome “ugly food”
In fact, food waste starts on farms. On the farm, farmers usually choose pretty vegetables and fruit and send them to the nearby supermarkets. Then those ugly vegetables and fruit often go to waste.
Usually, ugly vegetables and fruit are of the same quality as those beautiful ones. So we can
choose ugly vegetables and fruit that often get left behind on farms but are safe to eat.
Buy local food
Now all over the world, many cities encourage people to buy local food. It is a good idea because a lot of food waste happens during transportation (运输). If the storage conditions for fresh food are not good enough, a lot of food will rot (腐烂) along the way. It means before reaching supermarkets, the food has to be thrown away. So buy local food, and cut food waste.
Make shopping plans
In our daily life, we can plan our meals and buy only what we need. By making a shopping list and sticking to it, we can avoid overbuying and wasting food.

【答案】例文
My Voice
A lot of things happen at school every day. But one phenomenon catches my attention.
After every meal, there is a lot of food left. The leftovers are a huge waste of money and resources. From my point of view, reasons for this are as follows: First, some students are very particular about canteen food. If the food they order is not to their taste, they choose to have little or none of it. Second, the canteen is not well managed. The food items are very limited. Worse still, the food is not delicious. So, the canteen managers are also to blame for such wastage.
Here I have some suggestions. To students, you should know food as a resource is limited and that wasting is shameful. After all, many people are still starving. To canteen managers, you should develop more food items and get all the food well cooked. It’s time for us all to stop wasting food! Let’s make a difference!
I hope our school can pay attention to this phenomenon and develop better in the future.

七、任务型阅读
阅读材料，根据要求完成阅读任务，并将其正确答案用黑色墨水笔或黑色签字笔填写在答题卡规定的位置上。
The next time you think about cleaning out your fridge and throwing away anything you don’t want to eat, consider this: Each year, we waste 1.3 billion tons of food—about a third of all the food that’s produced. 173 kg of food per person is wasted per year. ①Let’s see how harmful food waste is and what can we do to stop it.
Chart I: How much food is wasted through the whole supply
One way to waste food unnecessarily is to throw away something because of its expiration date (保质期). Expiration dates are suggestions from the producer. There are usually two kinds of expiration dates—BEST BEFORE and USE BY. How much do you know the meaning
Chart II: The meaning of expiration dates
BEST BEFORE: You can still eat the food after this date, but not at its best. USE BY: You can’t eat the food after this date.
②事实上，世界上一些地方的人们没有足够的食物。With so many people around the world being in hunger and short of food, ending food waste could be a serious thing. Besides, it’s no secret that food production is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions (排放). About 45% of the waste food is fruit and vegetables. A company called Snact is dealing with food waste by drying ugly and unwanted fruit to produce a tasty fruit snack.
Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste. Snact offers a way to save fruit. Have you got any ideas
65．请根据以上材料，按相关规律在A、B 两处填入恰当的内容。

66．Can you eat the candies on October 2nd if you find “Best before October 1st” on its page
67．请在文章中找出和“Everybody should play a part in saving food.”意思相近的句子。

69．请将文中②处翻译成英文。
【答案】65．A. food processing B. primary production 66．Yes, we/I can. 67．Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste. 68．让我们看看食物浪费有多大的危害，以及我们能做什么来阻止这件事。 69．In fact/To be honest/Actually, people in some places around/in/of the world don’t have enough food.
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章通过图表阐述了食物浪费带来的危害，呼吁人们不要浪费食物。
65．根据题目中已给出的提示，可匹配文中的图表1的内容，分析食物浪费占比由多到少的排列规律，可知A空应填food processing，B空应填primary production。
66．根据文中表格的内容可知，“Best before”代表该食品过期仍可以吃，结合“You can still eat the food after this date, but not at its best.”可知，题目所描述的在10月2日吃保质期为10月1日的食品是可以的。故填Yes, we/I can.
67．“Everybody should play a part in saving food.”意为“每个人都应该在节约粮食方面发挥作用。”与文中最后一段首句“Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste.”匹配，意为“每个人都应该反对食物浪费。”均表达每个人应该节约粮食，不应该浪费食物。故填Everyone is supposed to fight against food waste.
68．分析句子可知，本句是祈使句，and连接两个并列的从句，how harmful food waste is 意为“食物浪费有多大危害”，what can we do to stop it“我们能做什么来阻止这件事”，Let’s see意为“让我们看看”，故填“让我们看看食物浪费有多大的危害，以及我们能做什么 来阻止这件事。”
69．事实上In fact/To be honest/Actually，后加逗号；世界上一些地方的人们people in some places around/in/of the world，地点放在人物后；足够的食物enough food；结合语境可知时态为一般现在时，句子为否定句，主语为people，因此助动词用don’t。故填In fact/To be honest/Actually, people in some places around/in/of the world don’t have enough food.
