9、 food companies should be taxed for the damage they cause to our bodies and the planet. A. The world is throwing away a shocking amount of food. A report last week claimed that at least a third of the 4 billion tonnes of food the world produces each year never gets as far as our mouths. Between 30%
10、and 50% of food purchased in Europe and the US is thrown away. The research is questioned, not least by the supermarkets, but it does echo the results of an exercise in Britain six years ago, when researchers for the government-funded Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap) went through the nati
11、on“s rubbish bins. It concluded that we were throwing away 30% of the food we“d bought while it was still edible (可信用的). B. Britainand much of the rich worldhas got used to filling the fridge with what looks nice, not what it actually needs. The cost of that indulgence (放纵) is, says the Institute of
12、 Mechanical Engineers, 10bn annually. Globally, the cost, in money, energy and ever-scarcer water, is unquantifiable. C. Our future food security has been climbing the top 10 of current global worries. The prospect of feeding a mid-century planet of around 9 billion people looks impossible without m
13、ajor and potentially unattractive changes to farming and our diet. If you accept the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation“s call for production to be increased by 70% to feed the population of 2050, most of the work will be achieved just by being a bit more thrifty (节俭的). All we have to
14、 do is to use better what is already there. D. However, throwing food out is easy. Using it sensibly, especially the less attractive bits, is not. The urge to bin and buy again, encouraged by multimillion pound advertising campaigns, is all the less resistible now because, despite recent price rises
15、, for most of us, food is cheap. At Christmas, the average family spent just over 100 on the big meal, a quarter of what it spent on presents. Stopping the waste will take more than a few celebrity chefs telling us how to use the roast chicken leftovers or asking the supermarkets to relax a bit with
16、 buy one, get one free offers. E. Education of consumers and voluntary agreements with the retail industry have all been tried: Wrap is 13 years old this year and has not impressed. Its critics say that its expensive information campaigns under slogans such as “Love Food Hate Waste“ lack targets and
17、 convincingly audited (审计) results. Like so many toothless quangos (半官方机构), it can only cajole (利诱) business rather than bring it firmly to heel. More households may be portion-planning and recycling now, because of Wrap“s adverts, but the slight reduction in the tonnage of food estimated to have be
18、en thrown away in British households (from 8.3m in 2006/07 to 7.2m in 2010) is probably accounted for by the price rises and stall in incomes that followed the global economic crash of 2008. F. Here we come to the uncomfortable core of the problem. Price is the key factor in our behaviour with food
19、and food may, simply, be too cheap. Certainly, in Britain it is cheaper than at any time in history: we spend less than 10% of household income on food and drink. In 1950, we spent around 25%. In the developing world, 50% or more of income is spent on food. Tellingly, Britain spends less than any ot
20、her country in Europe. Worldwide, it seems that the lower a country“s food/income ratio, the higher its incidence of obesity (肥胖). Presumably, the higher also the proportion of food it chucks out. G. Observers of food policy certainly believe that cheap food is a problem or, as Professor Tim Lang of
21、 City University tells it, that too much of the true cost of food is born not by the consumer or the retailer. The environmental and health damage caused by modern food production and its transport, as well as by excessive consumption, entails vast costs, often picked up by people far away from Tesc
22、o“s catchments. But it is the supermarkets“ eternal price warstheir one-track marketing philosophy where “value“ trumps all other qualities in foodthat have driven prices so low. Without restoring a sense of the real value of food, how will we stop all but the hungry wasting it? H. Food inflation is
23、 a key political indicator, yet no government is going to risk price rises for all the good it might do for our health or our environment, let alone the chance of stopping the landfill. Supermarkets, with their powerful lobbying arms and political donations, habitually wriggle away from legislation
24、and Competition Commission criticism merely with the threat that any new regulation will raise prices. That has to stop. A far tougher position is required. I. The government“s promise to abolish the use of “sell by“ and “display until“ labels has been parlayed into voluntary Food Standards Agency “
25、advice“. Because of industry resistance, Wrap has never fully measured waste caused upstream from the household, even though the retailers and manufacturers are certainly to blame for more of the tonnage that goes to landfill. It may always be easier to blame the consumer but what is required is far
26、 stricter regulation of the food giants. J. So how could we regulate? Producers complain that the major supermarket chains enslave them in very harsh contracts that set up a damaging chain reaction. Producers then pay low wages, which are in turn subsidised by taxpayers via tax credits. These boost
27、incomes that are still so low that families are forced to buy inferior food. (Supermarket chainshugely profitablealso pay risibly low wages to workers.) Ending this vicious cycle is not simply about food pricing, it“s a far larger debate. Even in austerity, the profits of the “big food“ companies co
28、ntinue to rise. This is about more than pricingit“s about a sense of responsibility about what“s fair. K. An alternative to voluntary change is to tax the food industry in just proportion to the damage it causes. Another idea gaining ground across Europe is for a sugar taxthe cheap processed foods a
29、nd soft drinks that carry the largest profit margins (and which are a key cause of obesity) depend hugely on sugar for their appeal. Food price rises would result and the supermarkets“ vast profits might have to take a hit. Those who would really suffer are the poor and their children and that is a
30、challenge to be met fairly with a living wage, not by caps on benefits or food banks. L. There are lots of ideas around for the “zero-waste economy“ that successive governments have repeatedly promised. But first and foremost, politicians have to conquer their fear of “big food“.（分数：71.00）(1).It is

What gift would you like to choose and why? 写作导航 1盗版现象如今十分突出； 2之所以会出现盗版的原因以及会造成的问题； 3提出自己的想法。 （分数：10.00）_正确答案：()解析：Say No to Pirated ProductsToday, piracy problem is increasing strikingly in China. Besides books, any products, like tapes, CDs and software can be copied. It has
36、 been well known that due to piracy legitimate producers, inventors and authors have suffered losses in many ways. At first, pirated copies often cost much less than the original ones. As a result, they can enjoy a considerable price advantage despite the poor quality. Compared with pirated products
37、, the original ones sell poorly. Secondly, because of poor quality, the authors“ reputation as well as the publishers“ is greatly hurt. Moreover, pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers provided that those legitimate producers“ enthusiasm is greatly hurt. The problem will evolve
38、 into a vicious cycle. In my opinion, the government should launch more anti-piracy campaigns and strengthen supervision to further clean up the hook, video and software markets. Besides, as customers, we should raise our awareness on how to use legal products as well. Only in this way, I think, can
39、 we bring an end to piracy.2.Directions : For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Modern Technology and Human Intimacy.

40、nology and Human IntimacyAs regards the relationship between modern technology and human intimacy, there has been a heated discussion among people. Those who believe in a positive relevance argue that the popularity of cell phones and Internet makes it easier to contact friends or relatives both at
41、home and abroad. What“s more, it is getting increasingly convenient to pay a visit to someone due to the constant improvement in vehicles. By contrast, others hold that modern technology has widened the gap. According to a recent survey conducted by CCTV, a high proportion of 86.5 percent of scienti
42、sts admit that calls, on-line chat, e-mails and short messages lack emotional cue. Therefore, face-to-face communication can never be replaced. In addition, modern technology accelerates the pace of life, which contributes to less and less casual and real communication between people. As far as I am
43、 concerned, technology does not play a decisive role. If we value our friends and relatives, we should get close to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should star

45、ng indication. This is a common phenomenon in our daily travel and the topic whether food should be banned on the subway has sparked heated discussion. But in some cities like Wuhan, eating and drinking have been forbidden on the subways. First, eating stinky food will disturb other commuters and th
46、e whole cabbage will be filled with the smell, since it“s poorly-ventilated in the cabbage. Secondly, people who eat and drink may litter away on the subway. The trash remained by the passengers can attract rats and cockroaches, which may influence the normal commute of the subways. Above all, I hold that food should be banned on the subway. It may bring some inconvenience to some people who have no time to have breakfast in the morning, but the clean and safe traveling environment for all is much more important.4.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write
