When you are having dinner, do you eat up all the food on your plate or have some leftover? According to the UN, 1. 3 billion tons of food is wasted around the world every year. That’s about one-third of all food produced each year.
We make a survey in 34 countries to see how much food is wasted in different countries. For example, the UAE(阿联酋) wastes the most food, with each person wasting about 1,000 kilos every year on average. However, some countries have worked hard to use their foo resources wisely. France wastes the least amount of food, according to the survey.
France was the first country to pass laws that stop food waste. It’s not allowed to throw away fresh food. Another law forces French restaurants to provide bags for people"s leftovers(剩菜剩饭).
China ranked 23rd for food waste in the survey. China"s food waste is around 18 million tons every year, enough to feed up to 50 million people for one year. Facing this situation, China has been working hard to reduce food waste. Since early 2013, a movement to prevent food waste called “empty plate” has begun.

C （2021·浙江高三）
A bunch of brilliant yellow flowers was dedicated to my mother.She was amazed at its shape and something strange but eventually lost passion. It didn’t matter a lot that the stems felt sticky or that both my parents cursed（诅咒）
the presence of these flowers in the lawn. I thought they were gorgeous! And there were a ocean of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then popping the blossoms off with a snap of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out. My father or brothers would cut off all the heads with the lawnmower (割草机) at least once a week, but that didn"t stop these hardy wonders. And for those flowers that escaped the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the miserable destiny to be killed by the lawnmower, there was another level of existence. The soft roundness of a dandelion gone to seed caused endless laughter of delight as we unconsciously（无意识地）
spread this flower across the yard.
As I worked in my garden last week, pulling unwanted weeds（野草）out of the space that would become a haven（避风港）
for tomatoes, corn, peas and sunflowers, I again marveled at the flower that some call a weed. And I thought, I hope I had the staying power of a dandelion. If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something tugging on my stem couldn’t separate me completely from the source that feeds me life. If only I could come back to face the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, purposely attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only I could spread love and encouragement as freely and fully as this flower spreads seeds of itself. The lawns at my parents" home are now beautiful green blankets. The only patches of color come from well-placed, well-controlled flowerbeds. Chemicals have managed to kill what human interference couldn’t. I hope you and I can be different. I hope that we can stretch our roots deep enough that the strongest poison can"t reach our souls. I hope that we can overcome the poisons of anger, fear, hate, criticism and competitiveness. 9．The author’s parents probably viewed the dandelions in the lawn as ________. A．supplies of seeds B．beautiful wonders C．unwanted weeds D．inspiring colors 10．What does the author mean by “another level of existence” in paragraph 3? A．The flowers were meant as a joyful gift to her mother. B．The flowers developed into a stronger species because of frequent mowing. C．The flowers were tough enough to spread new lives themselves. D．The flowers that some called a weed were difficult to recover. 11．What can we learn from the article? A．The author’s family enjoyed the dandelions as much as she did. B．The author purposefully replaced some dandelions with crops. C．The dandelions were finally successfully removed from the lawn.
D．The author felt sorry but encouraged by the destiny of the dandelions. 12．Through the article, the author mainly wants to ________. A．share the inspirations she acquired from the plain dandelions B．arouse public awareness to pay close attention to the beauty in life C．show the importance of considering things from diverse angles D．express the regret that few people could figure out the beauty of the dandelion
D （2020·浙江高三月考）
Most cities were built on rivers. People originally settled in Paris because of the Seine, and in London for the Thames. A third of New York City"s surface area is water. For centuries, city folk used rivers for shipping, wastes, fishing and play. The Industrial Revolution ruined rivers for more than a century. Huge new urban populations overwhelmed them with the pollution from wastes, factories and ships. In recent decades, rivers lost their industrial function and cities began cleaning them up. The Thames is now the cleanest it has been in 150 years and proud of seals and the occasional whale, sometimes alive. In cities from Chicago to provincial China, dirty riverside warehouses have been turned into restaurants and apartments. But rivers also need to regain their original purpose as transport centers. Cities are shifting more traffic back to the river—but this time cleanly and silently, using the coming generation of electric ferries. Ferries already transport 2.1 billion passengers a year. Numbers have been rising in San Francisco, New York and Sydney, while London plans to double its annual total of riders to 20 million by 2035. Imagine using the huge capacity of shipping to take delivery trucks off the roads. One of the newer Thames boat with a capacity of 1,750 tons can replace 44 large trucks. Even without being electric-powered, it uses much less energy per ton and causes less noise pollution. In other words, we need to tum truck drivers into boat captains. Delivery companies will need to build new distribution centres on cheap riverside land. When their boats stop at the
new downtown wharves, electric cargo bikes will deliver packages the last mile. Boat-to-bike is more complicated than delivery by truck, because it adds a stage. You might have to pay more to get your parcels the same day. As for the advantage, it will unblock city centres. Rivers are the reason our cities are where they are. We just forgot about them. 13．Why is the Thames mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To praise the efforts of the government. B．To explain the current healthy ecosystem. C．To stress the importance of the Industrial Revolution. D．To show the return of some rivers" original conditions. 14．What"s the advantage of boat-to-bike delivery? A．It cleans up the rivers. B．It speeds up the delivery. C．It is likely to reduce the cost. D．It eases the pressure of traffic. 15．Which is the following may the author agree with? A．Boat-to-bike delivery is too complex to make. B．Rivers should serve as the transport center like before. C．London has doubled its number of electric-bike riders. D．The cleanups of the river put an end to its industrial function.

21
your own money. For 11-year-old Cartier Carey, it was a

to do a lot more. That’s because Carey isn’t using his

titled “Carti packs”—care packages for the homeless that

such essentials as deodorant, soap, tissue, and even hand-warmers for when the weather got

My best friend"s mother was a social worker in Detroit, Michigan.
Because of that, my friend Victoria and I were introduced early to the world of volunteering. We did plenty of charity(慈善) work.
We always had a good time, and continued to volunteer whenever we had time, often even when we didn"t.
It became second nature.
Hairstyles came and went, but Victoria and I found places to donate our time because that"s how we were raised. One particular morning we signed up for "Paint the Town",an organization in Detroit to help lowincome homeowners clean their houses.
We were assigned(分配) a dilapidated(破烂的) house in one of the worst communities of the city.
I was afraid as we got near to the front door, not knowing who we would find on the other side.
We knocked three times quickly and stepped back, waiting to be let in. When the door opened, my mouth did, too.
Standing there was a little old lady with wisps(一束) of white hair and a purple apron(围裙) tied around her waist. "Hello" she said, "I"m Amelia.
Please come in and I will show you where to start."Her smile shone brightly.
“I am just baking some cookies for you girls to eat.”
As she led us to the parts of her house that needed painting, my heart softened.
Here was one of the scariest looking houses in the city, but behind its doors was a sweet old lady with a cane and a big smile. Here we were coming to help her, and instead she was doing something for us—baking homemade cookies and serving us tea! 注意:(1)续写词数应为 150 左右；

16．E17．A18．19．B20．F 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以便宜地环游世界的方法。
16． 根据上文 “Thinking about an overseas trip but concerning you might make a less worthy choice because you can’t afford to visit all the places on your wish list before you make your final decision? ”(考虑出国旅行，但顾虑到在你做出最后决定之前，你没有能力去参观你愿望清单上的所有地方，你可能会做出一个不太值得的选择?)再结合后文 “With a dash of wit, you can travel the world cheaply ”(用一点独创性，你可以便宜地环游世界)可知，设空句属于过渡句，结合上文提到负担不起游览所有的地方，后文则提到可以便宜地环游世界，可知缺钱不一定会影响你的旅行计划符合题意。故 E 选项意为缺钱并不一定意味着你必须呆在家里，符合语境，故选 E。
17． 根据后文 “Walk on the streets of a city, stop and chat with a local, or even climb to the top of a hill and
watch the sun set over the ocean. The simple joy of being in a new place is just a matter of going someplace new. No tour package required. ”(走在城市的街道上，停下来和当地人聊天，甚至爬到山顶看太阳在海上落下。身在一个新地方的简单快乐，其实就是去一个新的地方。不需要旅行团)。可知，本段主要说明的是享受旅行中简单的快乐，后文中“The simple joy”与 A 选项中“the simple joy”相对应。故 A 选项“拥抱旅行中简单的快乐”符合语境，故选 A。
18． 根据上文“People need fresh air, exercise, creative stimulation, companionship and self-esteem, etc.”（人们需要新鲜的空气、锻炼、创造性的刺激、友谊和自尊等等)可知，本句总结上文，对上文提到的新鲜的空气、锻炼、创造性的刺激、友谊和自尊这些东西进行总结，D选项中的 All of these things 指代的就是上文提到的 fresh air, exercise, creative stimulation, companionship and self-esteem, etc，故 D 选项“所有这些东西都很容易获得，而且大部分都是免费的”符合语境，故选 D。
19． 根据上文“Go slow. If you live in New York and want to take a two-week vacation to Africa, it will be very difficult to travel for free. Time is not money. Time is free. Instead of buying a place ticket, take a train or bus, or just hop on your bike and ride away from town.”(慢下来。如果你住在纽约，想用两周的假期去非洲旅行，要免费旅行是很难的。时间不是金钱。时间是免费的。与其买飞机票，不如坐火车或公共汽车，或者干脆骑自行车离开城镇)可知，设空句为本段最后一句，总结全段，结合本段主要说明得是慢一些旅行，上文中“slow”可与 B选项中“The slower”相对应。故 B 选项“你走得越慢，你花的钱就越少”符合语境，故选 B。
20． 根据上文“Try to get your accommodation for free or next-to-nothing. Find kind souls around the world who agree to offer an extra bedroom, couch，or corner of the floor to travelers in exchange for the same kindness when they visit your town.”(尽量免费或几乎不花钱就得到你的住宿。在世界各地寻找善良的人，他们愿意为旅行者提供卧室、沙发或地板角落作为交换，当他们去参观你的城市时，你也会有同样的善举)。以及后文“It works best if your home is in a locale someone wants to visit and if your dates coincide.”(如果你的家在别人想去的地方，而且你们的约定时间正好吻合，那就最好了)可知，本段主要说明的是旅行中的住宿问题，结合后文提到你的家在别人想去的地方，可推知本句是在提议交换住宿。故 F 选项意为这个计划包括在商定的时间内交换住宿，符合语境，故选 F。
