26、 Food waste is a big problem. About one-quarter of the world’s food is unharvested or thrown away.
Some food suppliers want to stop food waste. They have promised to cut their food waste by half before 2030. They have joined a special project. The project is called 10×20×30. Companies from many countries are taking part. Nearly 200 food suppliers have signed up for 10×20×30. A lot of food suppliers are big companies.
Food waste is bad for the environment. It causes climate change. Climate change is also called global warming. Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases. These gases come from the burning of natural fuels like oil, gas and wood. Making food produces greenhouse gases. It would help the environment if we only made the food we need.
It is not just big companies that create waste. People waste a lot of food, too. ReFED is a nonprofit(非盈利)company. It is working to end food waste. Scientists at ReFED studied where food is most often wasted. The study showed that about 15% of waste happens on farms and producers waste about 2% of food. About 43% food waste happens at home. And 40% food is wasted by restaurants. So waste occurs(发生)throughout the supply chain(链), with nearly 85% occurring at consumer-facing(面向消费者的)businesses and homes.
Brian Roe teaches at Ohio State University. He works to stop food waste. He says there are a lot of ways to reduce food waste. Producers can do more. They can even stop people from throwing food away. Smaller serving sizes would help. They could also put more information on the packets. Roe says it is a good thing that big food producers want to help. He’s hoping the companies can work together. If they work as a team, they will be able to do more. They can help each other learn what’s working. They can tell each other what’s not working, too. This will keep more food out of landfills in the end.
【1】Some food suppliers join 10×20×30 to ________.
A.make the most food waste
B.reduce food waste
C.sell more food products
D.make more money
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Food waste can slow climate change.
B.Food waste can make climate worse.
C.Climate change can put an end to food waste.
D.Climate change can create more food waste.
【3】Which chart(图表)may show the result of the study by ReFED?
A.
B.
C.
D.

A.doubtful
B.worried
C.happy
D.surprised
【5】In which section of a magazine can you read the text?

27、阅读文章,回答下列小题。
Reading should be part of your life. But the problem is that there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more quickly. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (总的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and reports. You can read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully, and then you can only read the first sentence of the other paragraphs (段落).
Skim—if it’s short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports, stars and movies of your daily paper.
While skimming, get your eyes to move fast and sweep them across each line. You can pick up only a few key words in each line. Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same news, but usually we won’t get very different ideas of what it is all about.
【1】What should you do if you want to read a long article quickly?
A.Read every word of it.
B.Read all the paragraphs.
C.Pick up a few key words in each line.
D.Read the first two and the last two paragraphs carefully.
【2】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to (指) _______.
A.skimming
B.previewing
C.the words
D.the news
【3】If you read a simple (简单的) article, which reading skill is better to get the general idea?
A.Previewing.
B.Skimming.
C.Reading carefully.
D.Sweeping each word.
【4】The best title (标题) for the passage may be “_______”.
A.Reading is part of life
B.Previewing and skimming
C.Reading problems
D.Reading skills

Few people know about online food delivery apps 10 years ago, but today many would find that it is hard to live w【1】 them. In China alone, over 400 million people use such apps. For better or for worse, online food delivery s【2】 have changed the way we eat, and they are also having a huge influence on our society.
These apps have no doubt bringing us many benefits. They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers. S【3】 the apps are very convenient, they also benefit consumers. We can now have meals delivered at any time of day, which is especially important for people who work long hours, as they might not have time to cook. Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.
However, we must not forget the problems of online food delivery. For one thing, they make it even easier to order u【4】 food, high in sugar, fat and salt. Food safety is another problem. It can be hard to tell where the food a【5】 comes from, and whether the owner is allowed to run a restaurant.

Moreover, the industry is p【6】 unbelievable amounts of packaging waste. Over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.
There are many good points of online food delivery, but we need to make sure that we make the right c【7】 in the long run. We should do our best to limit waste, especially when it comes to packaging. We also need to think about what we eat and the influence on our health. Next time you want to order in, you should think about whether you really need to. In most cases, it is better to walk over to the supermarket, buy the ingredients you need, and then cook them on your own.
