Ⅱ.阅读填表格
Food waste is a world's problem. Every year, about 1.3 billion tons, or one-third of all the food produced is
thrown away, according to a survey. Using just 25 percent of that wasted food could feed 870 million hungry people,
which would end world hunger. The people of France wasted 234 pounds of food per person, which is much better
than some other countries. In the past, France wasn't good at controlling food waste, but now the country takes the
lead.
A law was made by French government. It made France the first country in the world to prevent supermarkets
from throwing away unused food. Now supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food, or they will face a
fine. There are other rules requiring schools to teach students about food sustainability(可持续性). They also ask
companies to report the food waste numbers in their environmental reports. And restaurants should provide takeout
bags.
“These laws make it a standard to reduce waste,” says Marie Mourad, a student in Paris who has written several
reports on French food waste. “France is not the country that wastes the least food, but Frenchmen have become the
most active because they want to be the example in Europe.”
“Preventing supermarkets from throwing away food means a lot,” says Jonathan Bloom, a famous writer. “This
step has also influenced parts of French food industry.”
It is everyone's duty to fight against food waste. Everyone should pay attention and take an active part in it.
Ⅲ.[2020·山西百校联考]阅读回答问题
If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a “lesson” in garbage sorting( 垃 圾 分 类 ),as the city has
introduced new garbage-sorting regulations( 条 例 )since last July. People are required to sort garbage into four
different kinds. They are namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. What's more, if people fail to sort their
garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.
The regulations took effect. The amount( 数 量 )of total daily waste in Shanghai has been reduced by an
average(平均的) of 15,500 tons, dropping by 26 percent from the end of 2018, while the average weight of daily
recyclables hits 4,200 tons, five times higher than that at the end of 2018.
Following the practice in Shanghai, more Chinese cities are introducing garbage-sorting regulations. By the end
of 2021, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities.
Beijing has started to carry out garbage-sorting since May 1 this year. Citizens are required to sort garbage into
four kinds:recyclable, kitchen, hazardous and other waste. People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined
50 to 200 yuan.
Food waste is a problem around the world. Every year, if people used just a 11. of that wasted food,
the world hunger would end. In the past, France didn't do well in controlling food waste, but now the country has
taken the lead. For example, supermarket of a certain size must donate unused food, or they will be 12. .
Restaurants should 13. takeout bags to customers. Jonathan, a writer thinks it's 14. to prevent
supermarkets from throwing away food.In the writer's opinion, everyone should take an active part in
15. against food waste.
Besides China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations.
Garbage sorting and recycling around the world
Germany: There are big machines in supermarkets. You can put bottles in the machines and get some money. 人们
喜欢这样,因为他们在保护环境的同时还能赚钱。
Japan: Waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a fixed time to deal with each kind of garbage and
littering can cause high fines and even jail(监狱) time.
Indonesia: People can take buses for free if they give plastic bottles to bus stations. An-hour-long bus ride costs
three large bottles, five medium bottles or ten plastic cups.
According to a study, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is necessary for the protection of
the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of people say they are
carefully sorting their trash. It's partly because many people don't realize the meaning of garbage sorting to the
environmental protection. And in the past some garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for those who failed to sort
garbage.
