(人与自然·环保意识) (2022辽宁沈阳中考改编)
Would you try food made of rubbish? When world leaders got
together at the UN for a meeting on climate(气候) change, they
had a special lunch. The food was made from something that
most of us would throw away. There was a salad made of
scraps(剩菜). The leaders also had hamburgers made of fruit
left over from juicing.
The UN said this reminded people about food waste and the
初中英语
bad influence it has on climate change. “Food waste is not of-
ten noticed in climate change, and that is shameful when so
many people are in hunger,”said a government secretary.
Most people don’t even realize how much food they throw
away every day. Sometimes they cook too much or they don’t
use it in time. Every year more than one-third of all food pro-
duced worldwide goes to waste, according to the UN. Stop the
waste, and the whole world could save $300 billion from wast-
ed food. More importantly, it could also do less harm to the en-
初中英语
vironment.
Think about a bag of cheese(奶酪). Before we buy it at the
store, people have to raise the cows, deal with the milk, and
drive to the shop to sell the cheese. If you throw the cheese
away, you have wasted energy, fuel(燃料) and water, which
give out greenhouse gases that add to global warming.
The UN said if we stop throwing good food away, we could c
ut down up to 17 million tons of CO2. The good of that would be
the same as that of taking one in every four cars off the road.

(人与社会·跨文化沟通)(2023山东滨州中考改编,36—45,★★☆)
When I first arrived in China, I knew little Chinese. And some
of the Chinese words I 8 had something to do with food. I
learned the names of a few dishes, but still didn’t know most of
the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there
were 9 to help me.
Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food

初中英语
10 it. But many restaurants I’ve been to in the US don’t.
What is the 11 for the difference?
One thing I’ve definitely(明确地) 12 about China is that
food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A
common way to 13 people in China is to ask them if they
ve eaten yet. Food is just a bigger deal here—and having pic-
tures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost
like works of art, with beautiful photos.
Another thing is the 14 of the dishes. Chinese dishes some-
初中英语
times have fanciful(别出心裁的)names like “palace guard
chicken”or “three fresh things from the soil”. These are in-
teresting names, but they don’t really tell you 15 the dish-
es are like. Therefore, it’s 16 to have pictures so you can
actually see what you are going to eat.
There are 17 even more reasons. All I know is that I was
very thankful to have those picture menus when I first came to
China years ago.

Do you know where your food comes from? How far do the
milk, apples, coffee beans and other things you eat travel to reach y
ou? 18 And those decisions can also shape the world around us
.
Starting to check your food miles is an important step in saving
初中英语
the earth. 19 From the farm to the fork, the shorter the dis-
tance is, the better the food will be for your health and the envi-
ronment.
Food miles are a modern idea. In the past, people ate food
which grew locally. However, since the world became highly
connected, we have become used to having all kinds of global
foods. We buy tropical(热带的) fruits rather than those grown
in our local climate. 20
When we calculate(计算) food miles, we shouldn’t just think
初中英语
about the exact number of miles. It depends on many factors.
For one thing, the mode of transportation is important. 21
However, this speedy delivery system causes a carbon footprint
(碳足迹) about 50 times bigger than that of the much slower
transportation of food by sea.
22 However, the simple truth is that most of us can do far
better than what we do now. We can buy the local farmers food
and eat in-season fruits and vegetables. This will help cut down the
environmental cost of what we eat.

D.Working out the environmental cost of what we eat is not easy.

F.Food miles refer to the distance your food travels before it
reaches you.
