Question

At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the dining hall can get a coupon(优惠券) when they return their tray(餐盘). They can exchange coupons for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been a big surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in the university of Shanghai. “It makes us try our best to finish the food!”

But some food in the dining hall is so poorly prepared that students are reluctant to finish it all. Some schools have paid some attention to it.

“The dishes in our canteen are all right, generally speaking. We’ve tried our best to make it tasty. But of course it’s difficult to make all the students love it.” said Wang.

Other universities also pay attention to the size of food. At Nanjing University, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from.

“I like to try different dishes at each meal. So I had to throw away a lot of food because the bowls were too big. But now the dining hall offers small sizes. It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, a student from Nanjing University.

But what if you really can’t finish all your food? Some universities also provide a take-away service. If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the leftovers home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted.

So you see, if we call on students not to waste food, schools should also improve the service and meal quality.

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍的是一些大学采取措施来减少食物浪费的事情。文章给我们举了很多例子，如用吃完饭的餐盘换优惠券和礼物，改变食物的分量，吃不完打包带回家等。

1.细节理解题。根据文章的第一句话At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the dining hall can get a coupon(优惠券) when they return their tray(餐盘)，在华东科技大学里的学生们在餐厅吃完饭后归还餐盘的时候可以获得一张优惠券。故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据文章第七段Some universities also provide a take-away service. If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the leftovers home.可知，一些大学提供外卖的服务。如果你吃不完你的食物，你可以拿一个餐盒把它带回家。故选D。

3.词义猜测题。这个单词所在的句子为But some food in the dining hall is so poorly prepared that students are reluctant to finish it all，句意：但是一些餐厅的食物做的很差劲，所以学生们很不情愿吃完。由这句话的句意我们可以猜测，既然食物做的不好吃，那么学生们也就吃的不情愿，而不是开心、饥饿或不可能。故选C。

【小题4推理判断题。该题问的是为了减少浪费，一些大学都做了哪些事情，A 尽力把食物做的好吃一些；B 提供不同分量的食物；C 用吃完饭的餐盘交换优惠券和礼物；D 提高食物的价格。其中A、B、C三项在文章中都提到过，故选D。

4.推理判断题。这篇短文主要说的是一些大学采取措施来减少食物浪费的事情，故这样的文章应该出现在报纸上，而不是科学书、故事书或时尚杂志中。故选A。
