【解析】
短文主要讲了我们认为一日三餐是理所当然的,但是专家们认为粮食危机即将到来。世界人口的增长迫切需要粮食。世界人口在增加,资源正在减少,食品价格在上涨。因此,我们需要重新思考我们每天吃的东西。
【1】句意:我们认为一日三餐是理所当然的,但是专家们认为粮食危机即将到来。
考查连词,A. And 和;B. But但是;C. Or或者;D. Until直到。前后句是转折关系,but 意为“但是”,表转折关系。此处位于句首,首字母大写。故 But 符合题意。故正确答案为B。
【2】句意:危机将会使我们改变对食物的看法。
考查使役动词,change 意为“改变”。make sb. do sth. 为固定搭配,意为“使某人做某事”,故此处使用动词原形。因此 change 符合题意。故正确答案为A。
【3】句意:由于人口增长,食物需求量很大。
考查连词,A. since自从;B. because 因为,后跟完整的句子;C. because of因为,后跟短语或名词等;D. as当,作为。because of 意为“由于,因为”,表原因,符合题意。故正确答案为C。
【4】句意:结果,食品价格越来越高。
考查形容词比较级,high高,higher更高,highest最高,higher and higher越来越高,much可以修饰比较级,结合句意,故正确答案为C。
【5】句意:那么,一个饥饿拥挤的世界能做些什么呢?
考查情态动词,A. may 可能;B. should应该;C. must一定,必须;D. can能够,结合句意,这里是应该是表推测,can 更符合,故正确答案为D。
【6】句意:一个建议是少吃肉。
考查形容词,A. less更少;B. more更多;C. much多;D. little少,根据“Meat uses more natural resources than grains. 肉类比谷物使用更多的自然资源。”所以应该是建议少吃肉,故正确答案为A。
【7】句意:少吃一点肉可以给农业耕作多提供一些土地,并节约用水。
考查不定式,观察句子,这里已经有谓语动词,那么需要非谓语,结合句意这里应该需要动词不定式表目的,provide 意为“提供”,故正确答案为B。
【8】句意:它还需要比蔬菜多5到10倍的水。
考查介词,A. of…的;B. for为了;C. among三者或者三者以上之间 ;D. between两者之间,这里用的是“between…and….”,故正确答案为D。
【9】句意:所以,少吃肉会为农业提供更多的土地,而且会节约用水。
考查动名词,观察句子这里是说为农业提供种植的土地,far作动词表示从事种植,用在介词for后,应该用V.ing形式,故正确答案为A。
【10】句意:这可不容易。
考查形容词,A. easily容易地;B. easier更容易的;C. easy容易的;D. easiest最容易的,观察句子,这里没有比较,并且是作表语,故正确答案为C。
【11】句意:一般来说,他们吃的肉是其他国家人的两倍。
考查词汇辨析,A. another三者或三者以上另一个;B. the other两者中的另一个;C. others其余的/剩余的(事或物);D. other其他的+名词,故正确答案为D。
【12】句意:到2050年,这一数字将再翻一番。
考查代词,A. Them他们,宾格;B. They他们,主格;C. Their他们的,后跟名词;D. Theirs他们的,相当于their+n.。观察句子这里做主语,they指代上文的数据,故正确答案为B。
【13】句意:不断增长的肉类需求将继续给自然资源带来压力。
考查动词时态,A. will continue一般将来时;B. continued一般过去时;C. continue一般现在时;D. have continued现在完成时,结合句意,这里应该用一般将来时,故正确答案为A。
【14】句意:因此,我们需要重新考虑我们每天吃什么。
考查疑问词,A. how怎样;B. when何时;C. what 什么;D. where哪里,结合结合句意,应该是说吃什么,故正确答案为C。
【15】句意:对于肉食爱好者来说,我们不需要完全放弃肉食。
考查词汇辨析,结合下文 But we need to eat more grains and less meat 可知,我们需要多吃谷物少吃肉。因此本句应表达对于喜欢吃肉的人来说,不必完全放弃吃肉,只是要少吃一些。completely 意为“完全地,彻底地”,副词,修饰 give up,符合题意。故正确答案为B。
