【解析】

试题分析：文章属于说明文，主要讲的是浪费食物的现象。学生往往会把吃剩下的饭菜倒掉，学校食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角，我国每年浪费的粮食有大约两千万吨。

1.B 根据前句what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people”可知，学生们会把吃不完的饭菜倒掉，由此造成的浪费能够养活一千多万人，故选B。

2.E 根据后段中the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people”可知，中国人浪费掉的粮食能够养活两亿人，说明食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角，故选E。

3.G 根据本段第一句Food waste... serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues”和横线后句“Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.”可知，食物浪费现象反映一个国家的饮食文化和习惯，故选G。

4.F 根据横线后句There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas.”可知，本段讲的是处于饥饿中的人们，故选F。

【名师点睛】

本文6. food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people”可知食堂浪费只是冰山一角。E项与上下文一致。设空在句末时，通常所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
