Oct.16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It’s used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.

A big number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. Food shortage（匱乏）is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts（干旱）and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.

Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average（平均的）person throws away 50 kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.

That is over1, 300, 000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.

So think twice next time you want to throw away food. By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant. If you can’t eat all you order, take the rest home. Don’t be too picky about food so that you don’t leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.

When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources（資源）are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.

科目：初中英語 來源：2018年人教新目標七年級下Unit12單元測試卷（有答案） 題型：閱讀單選

Experts(專家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but

most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to

see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard. But not

all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning the 10 year

old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(乞求) for one more minute

to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in china, he has to get up before

six every morning.

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they

should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too

much homework is not the only reason(原因). Why students stay up late? Some watch TV or

play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that students should develop good study habits(習(xí)慣). So some

clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

1.The 10-year-old begged for one more minute to sleep because_____.

A. he didn’t have enough sleep

B. it wasn’t time for him to get up

C. he didn’t want to go to school

D. he wanted his mother to wake him up

2.In this passage “early birds” means persons who_____.

A. get up early B. get up late C. sleep less D. don’t want to sleep

3.From the passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may _____.

A. study late B. watch TV late

C. not go to bed until late D. stay outside

4.“Stay up late” here means _____.

A. study late B. watch TV late

C. not go to bed until late D. stay outside

5.According to (根據(jù)) the passage, which of the following is right?

A. if you want to study better, you must work hard at night

B. sleeping less means working hard.

C. some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.

D. students don’t have enough sleep only because they have a lot of homework to do.

1.A 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.C 【解析】本篇文章難度適中，主要講述專家認為學(xué)生每天應(yīng)該有足夠的睡眠。其中作業(yè)多并不是唯一的原因，一些學(xué)生會熬夜玩電腦游戲或者看電視。所以專家建議學(xué)生應(yīng)該養(yǎng)成好的學(xué)習(xí)的習(xí)慣。 1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Experts(專家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sl...
