问题 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.It can be learned from Paragraph l that a supermarket in Denmark——A.recycles the wasted food in supermarketB.runs a campaign against food wasteC.donates food to retailers and manufacturersD.reuses mislabeled food in supermarket

选项 A.recycles the wasted food in supermarket
B.runs a campaign against food waste
C.donates food to retailers and manufacturers
D.reuses mislabeled food in supermarket

答案 D

解析事实细节题。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。
