1、2022年全国高考新课标英语试题阅读B篇赏析与解析拒绝食物浪费，从你我做起。Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer.
2、 But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.一方面，I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste，尽可能留意食物的浪费；另一方面，I ended up working late, and then friends called with a dinner invitation，由于工作晚，应朋友邀请而外
3、出晚餐；再有，Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much，未加思考，而买了太多，所以The arugula that was to make a nice green salad went to waste。作者以自己之于芝麻菜的经历，点明生活中食物浪费的原因。In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this mo
4、nths cover story. Its jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.借Elizabeth Royte之言，指明food waste goes against the moral grain，食物浪费有违道德常理，nearly 800 mill
5、ion people a year go hungry，毕竟接近8亿人每年食不果腹。不管是丑陋但依然可食却被食品店拒绝的蔬菜，还是大量的不可食用被饭店扔进垃圾桶的饭菜，食物的浪费让人瞠目结舌。此段从大的层面言及食物浪费。Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a coun
6、try, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.食物浪费中，不单单是食物的浪费，还浪费了生产食物所需的the water, fuel, and other resources。如此推演，食物浪费实则是an environmental problem。如Royte所比喻的，如把食物浪费比作国家，其所产生的相关的温室效应气体，仅次于美中而居第三。If thats hard to understand, lets keep it as simple as the arugula at the b
7、ack of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time but for him, its more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 8
8、07,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.大道理因空泛而不易服人，故作者重提芝麻菜使之简单化。由我的芝麻菜经历，再延伸到类似的12 boxes of donated strawberr
9、ies nearing their last days，DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C. recovers food and turns it into healthy meals。也即DC Central Kitchen对食物进行恢复，并使之成为健康食品。仅去年，该厨房就通过接受捐赠和收集有瑕疵的产品，而恢复了more than 807,500 pounds of food。如果这些产品不如此处理，则会烂在田间地头。至于草莓，则由志愿者对之加以洗净，分切，冷冻或风干以备后用。此段借用DC Central Kitchen in Washington,
10、 D.C.的践行，具体指明how to make what would have rotted in fields into meals。Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just dont think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by no purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dis
