The world is throwing away a shocking amount of food. A report【C1】________ that at least a third of the 4 billion tonnes of food the world produces each year never gets as far as our mouths.
Between 30% and 50% of food【C2】________ in Europe and the US is thrown away. Britain—and much of the rich world—has got used to filling the fridge with what looks nice, not what it【C3】________ needs. The cost of that indulgence is £10bn annually. Globally, the cost, in money, energy and ever-scarcer water, is【C4】________.
Our future food security has been【C5】________ the top 10 of current global worries. The prospect of feeding a mid-century planet of around 9 billion people looks impossible without major changes to farming and our diet. If you【C6】________ the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation’s call【C7】________ production to be increased by 70% to feed the population of 2050, most of the work will be achieved just by being a bit more thrifty. All we have to do is to【C8】________ better what is already there.
Throwing food out is easy. However, using it sensibly, especially the less attractive bits, is not.
The urge to bin and buy again,【C9】________ by multimillion pound advertising campaigns, is all the less resistible now because, despite recent price rises, for most of us, food is cheap. At Christmas, the average family spent just over £100 on the big meal, a quarter of【C10】________ it spent on presents. [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格前为名词food,而空格后为in引导的介词短语,故可初步推断空格处应填入过去分词作后置定语。通常人们只能通过“购买”来获取食物,词库中的purchased“购买”符合逻辑。由空格后的is thrown away“被扔掉”可知,这些食物未被吃掉,可排除consumed。
