    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.

【C10】
选项
答案D
解析 空格应填入名词或代词作介词of的宾语。分析句子结构，of后接了宾语从句，该宾语从句中spent后缺少宾语，在从句中能充当宾语且引导从句的只有what，故选D。
