Text 3 It is a good time to be a fisherman.The global fish-price index of the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization（FAO）hit a record high in May.Changing consumer diets,particularly in China,explain much of the sustained upward movement.High oil prices,which increase the cost of fishing and transportation,also add to the price of putting fish on Lhe table.Not all fish are creaLed equal,however.There are two types of fish production:"capture"（or wild）and"aquaculture"（or farmed）.And they seem to be on different tracks.Fish such as tuna,the majority of which is cau~;ht wild,saw much bigger price increases than salmon,which is easier to farm.Overall,the FAO's price index for wild fish nearly doubled between 1990 and 2012,whereas the one for farmed fish rose by only a fifth.What explains this big difference?The amount of wild fish captured globally has barely changed in the past two decades.The ceiling,of about 90m tonnes a year,seems to have been reached at the end of the 1980s.Overfishing is one reason,as is the limited room for produclivity growth,particularly if consumers want high quality.Patrice Guillotreau of the University of Nantes tells the story of a fleet in France that decided to trawl,rather than line-catch,its tuna.It braughi more back to shore,but the fish were damaged.It could not be sold as high-value fillets and was only good for canning.The old ways of catching fish are still best if you want the highest profits,says Mr CuiUotreau.In contrast,the farmed-fish industry continues to make productivity improvements.Fish farms have found crafty ways to use lower quantities of fish meal as feed.In the early days of aquaculture,it could take up to ten pounds of wild fish to produce one pound of salmon.Now the number is down to five.That may still be an inefficient use of protein,but the ratio is set to improve further.Fish farms have also become more energy-efficient,meaning that they are less affected by higher energy pnces.And they have learned how to handle diseases beUer,reducing the quanlity of fish that ends up being unsellable.As a resuli of all these improvements,the global production of farmed fish,measured in tonnes,now exceeds the producUon of beef.Output is likely to continue growing:the FAO estimates thal by 2020 it will reach six times its I990 level.

The global fish price is growing because of_____
The global fish price is growing because of_____
A.the shonage of fishermen
B.ever-increasing oil prices
C.the change of Chinese diets
D.high market demand and cost
B.ever-increasing oil prices
C.the change of Chinese diets
D.high market demand and cost
答案：D
解析：
细节题。根据题干the global fish price定位到首段第二句，其中hit a record high=growing。答案句来自后两句，关键词分别是changing consumer diets“消费者饮食习惯改变”和high oil prices，which increase the cost of fishing and transportation“高昂的油价抬高了捕捞和运输成本”。总结起来就是两个原因使鱼价上涨：一是消费者饮食习惯改变，即市场需求高；二是成本高。选项[A]the shortage of fishennen“渔夫紧缺”；该项对应首句，与本题答案无关。[Bl ever-increasing oil prices“油价不断上涨”；对应最后一句，属于鱼价上涨的原因之一，但是片面不完整，故排除；[C]the change of Chinese diets“中国人饮食习惯的改变”；该项也属于原因之一，与[B]一样属于片面选项。[D]high market demand and cost“高市场需求和高成本”；该项符合答案要求，故本题选择[D]。
第5题：
Text 1 Denmark is once again distinguishing itself in the race against food waste-this time,with a supermarket hawking items once destined for the trash bin.Those items might include treats for a holiday that happened last week,a ripped box of comflakes,plain white rice mislabeled as basmati,or anything nearing its expiration date.In other words,perfectly edible items that are nonetheless considered unfit for salc by the retailers and manufacturers who donate them.WeFood is not the first grocer in Europe to sell surplus food.But unlike so-called"social supermarkets"-stores which serve almosL exclusively low-income people-WeFood's offerings are very intentionally aimed at the general public.High-income families will also choose WeFood for its environmental-friendly conception.The store's goods are priced 30 t0 50 percent lower than those in regular supermarkets,according to WeFood.The store has already been a huge success,attracting large numbers of customers.People have lined up before the store's opening every moming since its launch on Monday.But is this food safe to eat?Safety is always the first concern coming up to your mind.Well,the"sell by"date you see on many products actually refers to its freshness-not whether or not it's going to do you any harm.In many cases,food that's beyond this date won't be as fresh as it once was but is still perfectly edible.The food might have not yet gone bad when the"sell by"date expires.Of course you should still be careful to avoid eating food that's gone off,but you might find you don't have to throw away as much as you think you do.Denmark throws away about 700,000 tons of food every year,according to several estimates.In fact,food waste is a major problem for the whole world.Some 795 million people are undemourished globally,according to the World Food Program.Yet about a third of all food produced in the world-some l.3 billion tons-is wasted each year,according to the United Nations.The cost of global food wastage is about$1 trillion a year.All of the store's proceeds will go to DanChurchAid's work in developing nations like South Sudan and Bangladesh.

事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第一段。第一段指出丹麦在避免浪费食物方面从各国中脱颖而出，它的一家超市开始出售那些本该扔进垃圾箱的东西。那些东西可能包括上周刚过的一个节日剩下的一些宴飨，外包装破损了的玉米片，标签错贴成印度香米的普通大米，以及任何快到期的食品。只有D项“重新使用超市里贴错标签的食品”最符合原文的意思。【干扰排除】A项，recycles是指旧物利用。在此不存在旧物，而是一些不适合对外销售的食物，所以不正确；B项，文中并未说超市出售被浪费的食品是一项由丹麦发起的反对食物浪费的运动，故B项不正确；C项，原文说的是接受零售商和制造商的捐赠，而非向零售商和制造商捐赠食物，所以不正确。

主旨题。文章首段引出话题：全球鱼类价格上涨。第二段指出：并非所有鱼类都涨幅相同，并引出野生鱼和养殖鱼这两个种类．接下来几段分别讨论野生鱼和养殖鱼上涨幅度不同的原因。选项[A]Wild Fish：Demand Decides Price“野生鱼：需求决定价格”；该项突出讨论野生鱼．全文只有第三、四两段突出讨论野生鱼，该项属于片面选项，故排除。[B]The Rising Pnce of Rare Wild Fish“稀有野生鱼价格上涨”；该项同样突出野生鱼，与[A]-样为片面选项。[C]Farmed Fish：Making Improvements“养殖鱼：不断进步”；该项突出养殖鱼，而文章只有第五、六段重点讨论养殖鱼，该项同属于片面选项，故排除。[D]The Price of Fishes：Rising Differently“鱼类价格：上涨幅度不同”；该项符合文章主旨，尤其risinS differently强调了不同鱼类涨幅不同，故该项为答案。

主旨大意题。全文都在围绕着一个叫作“我们食铺”的超市来展开讨论。而最后指出该超市的收入都捐献出去了，宗旨还是解决食品浪费问题。所以最准确的答案应该是C项。【干扰排除】文中提到人们购买过期食品，也提到浪费食物的问题，但是A项拯救世界太过笼统，所以A项不正确；人们购买“我们食铺”的食物，不是为了节约金钱，所以B项不准确；D项“在丹麦人们排队购买过期食品”是一种社会现象，不能概括对抗食物浪费的主题，D项可排除。
