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.

Throwing food out is easy. However, using it sensibly, especially the less attractive bits, is not.

选项

答案 L

解析空格前为名词a report，空格后为that从句，故空格应填入动词作谓语。空格后的“全世界每年生产40亿吨粮食，其中至少有三分之一完全没有经过我们的嘴巴”是该报道的内容，词库动词中的claimed“声称”符合要求，代入表示“一份报道称……”，故选L。
