    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.

【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。
