Its new analysis of products on supermarket shelves found that “onceopened” instructions were often contradictory and often failed to make clear whether they were a guide to food safety or quality. Only 45% of 5,000 WI members surveyed understood that bestbefore dates were a sign of food quality, while 26% did not understand that the more important useby dates were a decisive guide to food safety. In its report on food waste, the WI said supermarkets were “potentially contributing to home food waste by leading customers to buy more food than they need, and giving conflicting and confusing onpack information that leaves customers unsure about how long a product remains safe to eat in the home setting”. The 42page report is part of the WI39。s ongoing campaign to reduce food waste. To underline the point about conflicting information, it cites(引用) a can of Sainsbury39。s ownbrand sweetcorn advising consumers to eat it within one day of opening, while a similar tin from Waitrose gave consumers two days to finish it. Green Giant sweetcorn, however, has no specified date for eating once opened. Marylyn Haines Evans, chair of the Women39。s Institute39。s public affairs said: “WI members are some of the more informed members of society about food and cookery, but they are still confused about food labelling and 39。onceopened39。 information. So we would like supermarkets to extend the amount of time that consumers have to use a product in their homes by making all of their onceopened instructions on product packaging consistent, and pletely remove onceopened instructions on products where food safety is not an issue.”（1）What mainly leads to food waste according to WI?A.Poor quality of food.B.Attractive packaging of products.C.Competition among supermarkets.D.Consumers39。 confusion about onpack information.（2）Which of the following can inform you of food safety?A.B.C.D.（3）Why are the three supermarkets mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.To attract more consumers.B.To pare their products.C.To ment on their service.D.To make WI39。s report convincing.（4）What does Evans suggest supermarkets do about reducing food waste?A.Extend life of a product.B.Turn to wellinformed WI members.C.Give consistent onceopened instructions.D.Remove instructions on product packaging.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文主要講述了婦女機(jī)構(gòu)強(qiáng)烈建議超市采取幫助消費者減少食物浪費的措施，比如延長消費者在家中使用產(chǎn)品的時間，使他們所有曾經(jīng)打開的關(guān)于產(chǎn)品包裝的說明一致。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Only 45% of 5,000 WI members surveyed understood that bestbefore dates were a sign of food quality, while 26% did not understand that the more important useby dates were a decisive guide to food safety.可知，消費者對于食品包裝上信息的混淆是導(dǎo)致食物浪費的原因。故選D。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段while 26% did not understand that the more important useby dates were a decisive guide to food safety.可知，use by信息才是食品安全的決定性指導(dǎo)因素。故選C。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段To underline the point about conflicting information, it cites(引用) a can of Sainsbury39。s ownbrand sweetcorn可知，引用超市的例子是為了更好的說明這一問題，即使文章更具說服力。故選D。 （4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段we would like supermarkets to extend the amount of time that consumers have to use a product in their homes by making all of their onceopened instructions on product packaging consistent,可知，為了減少食物浪費，超市可通過使包裝帶上的信息一致來達(dá)到這一目的。故選C。6．閱讀理解 Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most mon mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State. Nearly one in six college students has been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety within the last 12 months, according to the annual national survey by the American College Health Association. The causes range widely, experts say, from mounting academic pressure at earlier ages to overprotective parents to engagement with social media. Anxiety has always played a role in the development of a student39。s life, but now more students experience anxiety so acute that they are seeking professional help. Like many college clinics, the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of Central Florida (UCF)— one of the country39。s largest and fastestgrowing universities, has seen sharp increases in the number of clients: percent over last year alone. Anxiety has bee characteristic of the current generation of college students, said Dan Jones, the director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Appalachian State University in Boone, N. C. Because of increasingly pressures during high school, he and other experts say, students arrive at college preloaded with stress. Accustomed to extreme parental oversight, many seem unable to govern themselves. And with parents so accessible, students have had less incentive to deve
