In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It’ s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.【C1】______Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined.
The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’ s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’ s most populous continent.【C2】______Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’ t have enough to eat.
There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over- use of farming land.【C3】______Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.【C4】______In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.【C5】______The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.
[A]The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution.
[B]More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.
[C]All these factors affect food production.
[D]It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.
[E]In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.
[F]Those places need far more food than they actually get.
[G]By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.
【C2】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格前提到“联合国估计将近世界三分之二的饥饿人口在世界人口最多的亚洲”,空格后又谈到“尽管这个地区的人口比亚洲要少得多,但它的饥饿人口比例却是最高的”,由此可以推断,空格处应该是列举了另一个地区。因此,B选项“More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.”即“超过世界四分之一饥饿人口位于撒哈拉以南的非洲地区”符合文意,故B为正确答案。
