    A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itselfthrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.

Home delivery meal kits()can reduce food waste by more than two-thirdsbut suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.

Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipesmeaning leftovers are minimized. But while the  delivery services score well on reducing food wastebuying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumptionthey won’t overbuy and have less food waste. They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat.

Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less  frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paperthey may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.

Howeverstudy found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zerothey would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown awaywhich can make all the environmental benefits lost. But if the packaging can be reusedif it’s glass bottleslike in the old dayswe can get some benefits.

1.What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?

A.They can cut down on daily expenses.

B.They will totally solve the problem of food waste.

C.They can keep energy consumption to a minimum.

D.They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.

2.What does the underlined word“fine-tune”in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Attach. B.Adjust.

C.Raise. D.Compare.

3.The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.

A.reduce transport emissions B.save more food

C.shop only in the supermarket D.shorten car trip distances

4.What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?

A.Supportive. B.Unfavorable.

C.Objective. D.Indifferent.

 

1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。套餐可以减少食物浪费,但包装是个问题。家庭送餐包可以减少超过三分之二的食物浪费,但供应商需要改用可重复使用的包装,使其更加环保。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds,家庭送餐包可以减少三分之二的食物浪费。可以得知可利用的包装对环保有益。故选D。 2.词义猜测题。第三段主要讲述量身定制餐会降低浪费。They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat. 人们可以根据将要吃多少来调整食物数量。故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper,they may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.得知餐盒可以减少对交通排放,运送卡车可以一次给小区很多人送餐饭,减少交通排放。故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero,they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth.得知研究表明外卖饭盒比超市买食物会耗费更多的能源,But if the packaging can be reused,if it’s glass bottles,like in the old days,we can get some benefits.但是如果这些包装能够被再利用,对我们还是会有一些益处的。作者对饭盒的使用是客观的态度。故选C。

The advisers listenguide and answer students’questions.

Connor Rechtzigelan adviser in Minnesotasees the importance of his rolefor research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjaminthe first in his family to apply to collegethink about what his ideal learning experience was. FinallyJustice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choiceSkidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.

Nakhlean adviser in North Carolinais working with Hensleyan Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letterswhich made her decision much clearer. Finallythe Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing.
