问题 Text 1 Denmark is once again distinguishing itself in the race against food waste-this time,with a supermarket hawking items once destined for the trash bin.Those items might include treats for a holiday that happened last week,a ripped box of comflakes,plain white rice mislabeled as basmati,or anything nearing its expiration date.In other words,perfectly edible items that are nonetheless considered unfit for salc by the retailers and manufacturers who donate them.WeFood is not the first grocer in Europe to sell surplus food.But unlike so-called"social supermarkets"-stores which serve almosL exclusively low-income people-WeFood's offerings are very intentionally aimed at the general public.High-income families will also choose WeFood for its environmental-friendly conception.The store's goods are priced 30 t0 50 percent lower than those in regular supermarkets,according to WeFood.The store has already been a huge success,attracting large numbers of customers.People have lined up before the store's opening every moming since its launch on Monday.But is this food safe to eat?Safety is always the first concern coming up to your mind.Well,the"sell by"date you see on many products actually refers to its freshness-not whether or not it's going to do you any harm.In many cases,food that's beyond this date won't be as fresh as it once was but is still perfectly edible.The food might have not yet gone bad when the"sell by"date expires.Of course you should still be careful to avoid eating food that's gone off,but you might find you don't have to throw away as much as you think you do.Denmark throws away about 700,000 tons of food every year,according to several estimates.In fact,food waste is a major problem for the whole world.Some 795 million people are undemourished globally,according to the World Food Program.Yet about a third of all food produced in the world-some l.3 billion tons-is wasted each year,according to the United Nations.The cost of global food wastage is about$1 trillion a year.All of the store's proceeds will go to DanChurchAid's work in developing nations like South Sudan and Bangladesh.WeFood is a supermarket which____.A.only attracts low-income peopleB.is the first retailer of surplus foodC.sells low-price food and productsD.draws little attention from the public
选项 A.only attracts low-income people
B.is the first retailer of surplus food
C.sells low-price food and products
D.draws little attention from the public
答案 C
解析 事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第二段。第二段里说到，“我们食铺”声称，其店里的商品价格比普通超市便宜三至五成。所以C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项，第二段第二句说到，但与通常针对低收人人群的“福利超市”不同，“我们食铺”面向的是广大普通消费者，所以不正确；B项，第二段第一句说到，“我们食铺”并不是欧洲第一家出售剩余食品的食品商，所以也不正确；D项，第二段最后两句说到，该超市顾客盈门，获得了巨大成功。自周一开始，每天早晨还没开门，人们已经在门前排起了长队，所以也不正确。
