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.
【C8】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前的不定时符号提示空格处应填入动词原形。上文讲到了食物的浪费,并提到只要人们节俭些,联合国粮食和农业组织的目标不难实现,即“我们所要做的是把我们已有的东西用得更好”,C符合逻辑。
