An average 30-year-ld persn wh has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten mre than 30，000 meals t date.Even if yu've nly eaten half that much yu have t admit this：yu've let sme f that breakfast, lunch r dinner g t waste.And it turns ut we're all t blame fr this shaming fact：30% f all fd prduced in the wrld each year is wasted r lst.That's abut 1.3 billin tns, accrding t a new reprt by the UN Fd and Agriculture Organizatin.
That's the weight f mre than 8.6 millin full-grwn blue whales, the largest creatures n earth.That's the weight f mre than 2.3 millin Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence.That's as if each persn in China, the wrld's mst ppulus cuntry with mre than 1.3 billin peple, had ne tn mass f fd thrwn int the dustbin.It's almst unfathmable, isn't it?
Setting aside that big number, we find the peple with the mst mney are the nes wh waste the mst.On average, a persn in Eurpean and Nrth American cuntries wastes between 95 and 115 kilgrams f fd.Sub-Saharan African, Suth Asian and Sutheast Asian cuntries waste much, much less — between 6 and 11 kilgrams per persn.
Here's anther statistic：all the fd that the wrld's richest cuntries waste is abut equal t all the fd that sub-Saharan Africa prduces.The number's：222 millin tns and 230 millin tns, respectively (分別地).Basically, the wasted fd f the rich culd feed much f the African cntinent.And these numbers cme as we've just been reprting abut rising fd prices arund the wrld in the past week.
And my wn persnal tip：if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask fr a dggie bag.I used t be a waiter years ag and will never frget the amunts f fd I saw left n the table after the bill was paid.There's n reasn t waste fd.It's up t all f us t use ur cmmn sense t eat and shp just a bit mre wisely.
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國(guó)糧農(nóng)組織的一份報(bào)告，目前全球生產(chǎn)出來(lái)的30%的食物在消費(fèi)過(guò)程中被浪費(fèi)了。作者呼吁人們不要浪費(fèi)食物，要更明智地生活。

語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了默默為作者和家人付出的父親最大的希望莫過(guò)于作者能多陪他說(shuō)說(shuō)話、聊聊天。但是作者一直沒(méi)有意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)，錯(cuò)過(guò)了很多次和父親交談的機(jī)會(huì)。
1．選E 作者小時(shí)候經(jīng)常會(huì)幫修理東西的父親拿錘子，這是父女倆交談的好機(jī)會(huì)。后來(lái)作者長(zhǎng)大了，離開(kāi)家，買了房子，父親親自幫女兒粉刷房子。根據(jù)后文所講的作者那幾天特別忙，沒(méi)有時(shí)間和父親交談可知，此處是講父親希望女兒還能像小時(shí)候那樣幫他拿著刷子，然后父女倆就能有機(jī)會(huì)說(shuō)說(shuō)話，故答案填E。
2．選B 父親探望女兒時(shí)給外孫女搭了秋千，此時(shí)他最希望的是女兒能給他端杯茶，陪他好好說(shuō)說(shuō)話。根據(jù)空后所講的作者那天沒(méi)有時(shí)間陪父親好好聊聊可知，作者那時(shí)忙著為周末外出做準(zhǔn)備，所以沒(méi)有時(shí)間，故答案填B。
3．選A 一個(gè)周日的早上父親照例給作者打電話。作者很忙，所以沒(méi)說(shuō)幾句就掛了電話。根據(jù)空后所講的父親住院了可推知，之后作者又接到一個(gè)電話，故答案填A(yù)。
4．選F 父親不幸去世了，現(xiàn)在是他沒(méi)有時(shí)間和作者交談了，故答案填F。
5．選D 以前一直是父親渴望女兒騰出時(shí)間陪他說(shuō)說(shuō)話，而現(xiàn)在父親去世了，留下的是女兒對(duì)父親無(wú)盡的思念，期盼父親能有時(shí)間和她說(shuō)說(shuō)話，故答案填D。
