Question

【题目】 When you are eating dinner with your family, do your parents ever remind you to finish all the food on your plate? If so, you should know it’s not just because they want you to be healthy. They also want to stop food waste.

Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world, according to the UN. That’s about one-third of all food produced each year.

We make a survey in 34 countries to see how much food is wasted in different countries.

For example, the UAE(阿联酋) wastes the most food, with each person wasting about 1,000 kilos every year on average.

However, some countries have worked hard to use their food resources wisely. France wastes the least amount of food, according to the survey. France was the first country to pass laws that ban(禁止) food waste. It’s not allowed to throw away fresh food. Another law forces French restaurants to provide bags for people’s leftovers(剩菜剩饭).

China ranked 23rd for food waste in the survey. China’s food waste is around 18 million tons every year, enough to feed up to 50 million people for one year. Facing this situation, China has been working hard to reduce food waste. In early 2013, a movement to prevent food waste called “empty plate” began. It has become popular among both government officials and general public.

【解析】

本文主要讲述了世界各国的食物浪费及采取的一些措施。

【1】细节理解题。根据“Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world, according to the UN. That’s about one-third of all food produced each year.”据联合国称，每年全世界有13亿吨食物被浪费，大约占每年生产量的三分之一。可知每年的产量是：1.3×3=3.9，大约40亿吨。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“France wastes the least amount of food, according to the survey.”可知，根据调查，法国浪费的食物最少。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据“In early 2013, a movement to prevent food waste called “empty plate” began.”可知，2013年初，一项防止食物浪费的运动被称为“空盘行动”。故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据“the UAE(阿联酋) wastes the most food,”可知，阿联酋浪费的食物最多。因此A正确；根据“It’s not allowed to throw away fresh food.”不允许扔掉新鲜食物。可知，在法国你不可以扔掉新鲜食物。因此B错误；根据“Facing this situation, China has been working hard to reduce food waste.”可知，中国一直在努力减少食物浪费。因此C正确；根据“Every year, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world, according to the UN.”可知，全世界每年浪费13亿吨粮食。因此D正确。故选B。

【5】考查主旨题。此题用排除法最佳，本文主要讲述了世界各国的食物浪费及采取的一些措施。因此可以排除A；“空盘行动”是中国采取的措施，选项C也排除；选项B太片面，只是本文的一个方面，排除。因此选择A survey about food waste in different countries. 关于不同国家食物浪费的调查。符合语境。故选D。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。本文的1、2、3、4四个小题是细节理解题。做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：

（1）略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

（2）按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如for example，first，second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。

（3）将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
