The world is throwing away a shocking amount of food. A report【C1】______ that at least a third of the 4 billion tonnes of food the world produces each year never gets as far as our mouths.
Between 30% and 50% of food【C2】______ in Europe and the US is thrown away. Britain—and much of the rich world—has got used to filling the fridge with what looks nice, not what it【C3】______ needs. The cost of that indulgence is £10bn annually. Globally, the cost, in money, energy and ever-scarcer water, is【C4】______.
Our future food security has been【C5】______ the top 10 of current global worries. The prospect of feeding a mid-century planet of around 9 billion people looks impossible without major changes to farming and our diet. If you【C6】______ the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation’s call【C7】______ production to be increased by 70% to feed the population of 2050, most of the work will be achieved just by being a bit more thrifty. All we have to do is to【C8】______ better what is already there.
Throwing food out is easy. However, using it sensibly, especially the less attractive bits, is not.
The urge to bin and buy again,【C9】______ by multimillion pound advertising campaigns, is all the less resistible now because, despite recent price rises, for most of us, food is cheap. At Christmas, the average family spent just over £100 on the big meal, a quarter of【C10】______it spent on presents.
【C5】
选项
答案
H
解析
空格前为has been,而空格后为名词短语the top 10,因此推断空格处填入现在分词。根据空格后的提示词top 10推测,这里需要一个具有“上升”含义的动词,故用H。surpassing指“超越”,其后应接超越的对象,故可排除。
