2024-2025学年（上）梧州九年级质量检测英语

1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

How important is music? 1. It’s often believed that listening to music is nice, but not very meaningful. It is often only thought to be entertainment（娱乐）, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is wrong.

Music tells us who we are. 2. Music reflects the musicians’ ideas and the social environment that they are in. For example, just as Mozart’s music represents（代表）a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin’s music is another example. He introduced jazz style into his music.

3. 音乐以一种不同的方式帮助人们了解世界。Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores（探索）emotional（情绪的）meanings. People need every possible way to learn and experience more.

Music shows people’s thoughts. We can “talk” to each other in this amazing way. Through the language we express different feelings. 4. Our happiness, pain and hope can be sensed by others. When we do not let our children receive a good music education, we take them away from the meanings that music expresses. 5. 毫无疑问，我们的孩子无法欣赏音乐之美是一种遗憾。So music education is much more necessary than people usually think.

24、Although we all know that food should never go to waste, as much as two billion tons of it ends up in the trash.

Considering that nearly one billion people worldwide are either starving or hungry, this figure is shocking. What is perhaps more shocking is that every one of these mouths could be fed using less than a quarter of the food that is wasted in the United States and in Europe alone!

How so much food is wasted each year? Some foods may be lost in production or poor transportation and storage (储藏). Damaged or imperfect-looking fruits and vegetables may be thrown out since most supermarkets won’t buy them.

Of the items that do make it to the market, many will go bad while sitting on the shelf. Once bought and placed in the fridge at home, a certain amount of food will go bad because of improper (不恰当的) meal planning. Then, there is food that might get prepared but ends up being thrown away when we are full.

To help deal with the issue of food waste, a number of improvements need to be made. In developing countries, the problem lies mainly in production. By improving collecting, processing, storage, and transportation methods, people can save millions of tons of food each year.

In the developed world, the problem comes down to raising awareness (意识). In the United States, for example, some restaurants have begun offering smaller size dishes and are encouraging diners to take home their leftovers.

In a world with limited land, water, and energy, we need to pay more attention to the problem of food waste. With our ever-increasing population, it’s time to stop wasting food and start taking action!
