2 . Scientists at the University of Minnesota report Thursday in the journal Science that about a third of all food grown around the world never gets eaten. In terms of calories per person, cutting food waste is more of an immediate opportunity to feed more people than increasing crop yields around the world.

“But not all these calories are equal, when you look at how they hurt the global food supply,” says Paul West, who led the study. “Throwing away a pound of boneless beef effectively wastes 24 times more calories than discarding a pound of wheat. If you throw out some cabbage at a fancy restaurant in upstate New York, it doesn’t have much impact on the world’s food system. But throwing out a small steak has a huge impact—maybe more than all the cabbage in the restaurant put together. Wasting other animal products, such as chicken, eggs and dairy, has less effect on the global food supply than beef, but still more than vegetables and grains.

The US, China and India together throw out enough food each year to feed more than 400 million people, the team found. And the biggest global contributor to that loss is the US. Each day the average Americans waste up to about 1,200 calories per person. They throw out 290 effective calories from beef. They also waste about 550 calories from chicken and pork.

On the other side, India wastes the least amount of food and meat of the three countries. Each Indian, on average, effectively throws out about 44 calories a day, mostly rice and wheat.

China falls between the US and India. Each Chinese person wastes about 280 calories of wheat and rice every day. But the Chinese also love pork and each person effectively tosses 200 calories from pork each day. “The food service industry in China has really high amounts of waste,” West says. “It’s a cultural standard for them to order seven to nine dishes in restaurants to honor the guests. All that food doesn’t get eaten.”

1. What is the most direct way to feed more people in the world?

A．Reducing food waste.	B．Eating less than necessary.
C．Growing more crops.	D．Replacing grain with meat.

2. What does the underlined word “discarding” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Eating.

B．Buying.

C．Wasting.

D．Donating.

3. Which country is the most wasteful in the world?

A．India.

B．The US.

C．The UK.

D．China.

4. What message does West seem to convey in the last paragraph?

A．China should adopt Western food culture.	B．The number of dishes should be limited by law.
C．Chinese people should eat more wheat and rice.	D．Food waste in Chinese restaurants is very serious.

5 . In the United States, farmers who are trying to earn money find the situation difficult to deal with. The United States Department of Agriculture found that more than half of the small farms in California do not make money. But the United Nations reported at least one third of the food is wasted by not selling it out in time.

One California farm family is using social media to change the situation and reduce wasted food. Nick Papadopoulos is the manager of Bloomfield Farms in Sonoma County. He was sad and worried to watch his employees returning from some weekend farmers’ markets with top quality unsold products.

Mr. Papadopoulos said he would find boxes of leaf greens and carrots left in a storehouse. The vegetables would go bad before the next market day. One night, he began thinking about the matter of wasted food when he didn’t know how to deal with 32 cases of broccoli (西兰花). Usually he would give it to chickens and use the rest to make fertilizer (肥料). He thought he shouldn’t let the farm products go to waste.

Then his daughter showed him a book she bought online. Suddenly it hit him that he could offer the food at a low price by advertising it on the farm’s Facebook page on Sunday nights. The deals were open to anyone using the social media website. In the first week, some neighbors came to his home to buy the vegetables. Another week, the buyers were a group of friends. And now many people wait to buy his cheap products.

After his success, Mr. Papadopoulos helped to set up a website called cropmobster. com, which is a place where people deal with food production at low prices, feeding the hungry. Since March, the website has stopped more than 20, 000 kilograms of food from going to waste.

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

From 8 a.m to 10 a.m each morning, dozens of low-income families and cleaners in the Tangqiao neighborhood would line up in front of a food bank     1    (collect) free vegetables and fruits.

The food bank,     2     (create) by Shanghai Oasis Ecological Conservation and Communication Center in 2014, is the first of its kind in the country. The food bank collects donated products—    3     (usual) food items close to their “best before” dates from supermarkets, producers or restaurants. After collecting enough food, the bank donates it     4     the needy. According to the Oasis, the     5     (establish) of such food banks is aimed not only at saving food that otherwise would be wasted,     6     at helping low-income people and protecting the environment.

Oasis has seen its food bank network extended (扩大……的范围) to at least 11 provincial-level     7     (region), including Beijing, Sichuan Province, the Xinjiang Uygur Region and Liaoning Province. Oasis said that 580 tons of food worth more than 31 million     8     (save) by the end of 2019. The food,     9     was produced by 202 food companies, was distributed (分发) to 760,000 individuals.

It was not until recently when the country started a nationwide campaign (活动) to avoid     10     (necessary) food wastage that such banks have become better known.

As many sit down to enjoy plentiful holiday meals this season, it’s also a good time to note the growing problem of food waste.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, it is     1     that one-third of food produced for human consumption worldwide annually is lost or wasted.

The economic and environmental impacts of food loss and waste are     2    . More than a quarter of the world’s agricultural land is being worked to grow food that nobody eats.

What’s the difference between food loss and food waste? Waste happens toward the back end of the food chain, at the retail and consumer level. Loss, on the other hand, mostly     3     at the front of the food chain — during production, post-harvest, and     4     — and it’s more common in the developing world, where all of the food usually can’t be delivered in     5     shape, to consumers.

In developed nations, extreme-efficient farming practices, plenty of refrigeration, and first-rate transportation and storage     6    that most of the food they grow reaches the retail level. But things go rapidly south from there.

Store managers     7     over-order goods, for fear of running out of a particular product. The British supermarket chain Tesco, for example,     8     throwing out nearly 50,000 tons of food within their UK stores during the latest financial year.

Consumers are also to     9    . We often order too much food in restaurants without taking leftovers home. We overbuy when there is a discount for invitingly packaged food. When we store food, many of us take “use by” dates literally, and we suffer no     10     for dumping eatable food into a bin.

8 . Have you got any gadgets hanging around your home that you no longer want or use? Between us, we have millions of bits of tech stockpiled in drawers that could be given a new lease of life.

Part of the problem for our unloved gadgets is that many become obsolete quickly because their software doesn’t get updated. Other items are left unused because they’re broken or they’ve become replaced by a fancy new version. Many of these items are electronics, but despite them appearing to be past their sell-by date, they don’t need to end up in landfill. And here are some tips for you to make the most of our unwanted gadgets.

Materials used to make them can be extracted and reused in other things. As an example, Elisabeth Ratcliffe from the Royal Society of Chemistry told the BBC: “There are about thirty different elements just in a smartphone, and many of them are very rare. ” These can be used in touch screens and solar panels.

Repairing is the best approach

Probably the best approach to our throwaway culture is to repair our broken tech. This takes patience and skill, which can be learnt at repair clubs and repair cafés—free meeting places where you’ ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need. In the UK, the interest in mending our stuff and giving it a new life is reflected by the popularity of a TV series called The Repair Shop, where craftspeople rescue and resurrect items their owners thought were beyond saving.

Upcycle is a final option

You can breathe new life into unwanted stuff by transforming it into valuable pieces or collectable retro items. These could be sold on, meaning you can make some cash from your junk and create much needed space in your home!

10 . Be a Green Guest

When people take a vacation, they often take vacation from responsibility, too. Our behavior at hotels is one of the biggest problems. We have our linens（纺织品）washed daily for us, and are provided with an endless stream of hot water—what's not to love about that? But all of this luxury equals serious consequences for the environment.     1     They offer programs and facilities that save water and energy. That's a good start, but there is a lot more you can do to cut down the amount of waste produced wherever.

•     2    

In America alone, there are about 50,000 hotels. Now think if hotel management leaves out two small bottles for each hotel room every day, that's a huge amount of little plastic bottles that may not even get recycled. And what about all of that shampoo when you don't finish the bottle? A better way is to bring your own shampoo from home.

•Turn off the lights.

You do it when you're at home, right? Do it at the hotel, too. Studies have shown that, in hotels, the majority of energy spent through lighting comes from the bathroom light being left on for more than one hour!     3     , remember to hit the switch!

•Don't have your sheets or towels washed every day.

Sure, it's a luxury to have linens and towels. cleaned every day, but that's all it is. Washing a set of bed sheets and a pair of bathroom towels requires about 12-16 gallons of water. See if there is a policy for requesting that your towels and linens get washed weekly. In some hotels, it's as simple as hanging towels back up on a hook.     4     .

These tips are also useful for trips to a friend's or relative's house.     5     They will also save your hosts a lot of money.

B．Just say "no" to hotel shampoos

C．When you're using the bathroom

D．After you're done with your business

E．They will save plastic, water, and electricity

F．More and more hotels are becoming eco-friendly

G．In others, you may ask the front desk for a personal request
