典题(2023青浦一模)
The UK doesn’t have the best reputation regarding food waste. Luckily, it’s easy to learn how to change these unsustainable habits, so that you can easily reduce unnecessary waste and save a pretty penny.
1. Plan your meals
When you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to eat, it’s easy to pick up more than you need, especially when items are on offer. It might seem like a great short-term option, but it can cause you to spend much more money in the long term, resulting in unnecessary food waste.
Planning your meals for the week in advance can be a great way to avoid this issue altogether. Work out what you plan to eat and when, and how much. Whether you’re shopping online or in- person, you can get only what you need — both saving your money and reducing the potential for food waste.
2. Store your products correctly
There are many tips that can help to keep produce fresh. For example, potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables last longest if they are kept in the dark. Fresh fruit and vegetables, like grapes, shouldn’t be kept with ethylene-producing products (including bananas and apples) as they make other fresh produce ripen and rot more quickly.
You can also find many ways to keep food by using water. For example, store half cut vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, in water in the fridge, to help them last longer than if they were stored dry.
3. ____________________
Almost three quarters of food wasted could still be eaten, meaning that the food is not spoiled, and is fine for consumption.
Many people aren’t aware “best before” dates are suggestions, rather than rules. In contrast, however, the “use by” date refers to the last date a food is fit for consumption, and should be watched carefully for safety. When it comes to consuming food, use your senses: look at and smell the food. If it smells good and looks fine, the produce is more than likely completely fit to be eaten and enjoyed.
40. The passage is intended to _________.
A. instruct the public to preserve food
B. offer tips on planning meals in advance
C. help people develop some sustainable habits
D. change the UK’s reputation as a big food waster
【答案】40. C
【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要给读者提供了三个建议,帮助大家保持一个可持续的生活习惯,减少食物浪费。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Luckily, it’s easy to learn how to change these unsustainable habits, so that you can easily reduce unnecessary waste and save a pretty penny.(幸运的是,学会如何改变这些不可持续的习惯很容易,这样你就可以很容易地减少不必要的浪费,节省一大笔钱)”和后文小标题“1. Plan your meals(1. 计划你的饮食)”、“2. Store your products correctly(2. 正确存放产品)”可推知,文章主要讲的是改变不可持续习惯的做法,即帮助大家养成可持续的习惯。故选C项。
4.态度倾向类推断题
考查考生是否了解文中作者或文中人物对某事物所持的观点或态度。要求考生具有在正确理解文意的基础上,对观点或态度倾向进行分析、识别的能力。该类型题目的选项一般含有以下三类词:(1)中性词:uninterested(不感兴趣的),neutral(中立的),indifferent(漠不关心的)等;(2)褒义词:positive(积极的),supportive(支持的),humorous(滑稽的),enthusiastic(热情的),admiring(赞赏的)等;(3)贬义词:disgusted(厌恶的),critical(批评的),negative(否定的,消极的),disappointed(失望的)等。

Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
4. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
【答案】C
【解析】 篇章结构题。根据第四段“Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.”中的“equally important”和第五段的“moreover”可知,第四段和第五段是第三段的次要论点,故选C。
