M: And now, for the lighter side of the news, Europe is setting an example for the rest of the world when it comes to food waste.
W: That’s right, John. This week, the Italian government passed legislation that aims to dramatically reduce the amount of food wasted in the country. New laws have been put into place that would make it easier for farms and supermarkets to donate unsold foods to those who are in need.
M: Yes. And in addition to this, businesses will now be rewarded for successful efforts to cut food waste.
W: Italy is not the only country to focus on reducing food waste. Just earlier this year, the European Parliament voted in favor of legislation that would stop grocery giants from unfair trading practices that result in overproduction, thus creating waste.
M: In France, the government has banned supermarkets from throwing away edible foods and imposed harsh penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the regulations.
W: While there is still much progress to be made, other countries could learn a thing or two from the example set by France and Italy. In the United Sates, up to 40% of all food goes uneaten, despite the fact that one in seven American households lacks regular access to good food. One major cause of this problem is the confusion over food expiration labels, which are currently not regulated by the government.
M: All this could change soon. This wave of new laws in Europe will definitely put more pressure on lawmakers to reduce food waste here. We turn now to a spokesperson from Harvard University’s Food Law and Policy Clinic for more on the story. And now, let’s welcome Professor Edward Baker to speak to us.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What does the woman say about the new laws in Italy?
2. What did the European Parliament do to reduce food waste?
3. What has the French government done recently?
4. What is the major cause of food waste in the United States?
选项
A、The confusion over food expiration labels.
B、The surplus resulting from overproduction.
C、Americans’ habit of buying food in bulk.
D、A lack of regulation on food consumption.
答案
A
解析
对话中女士表示,在美国,虽然有七分之一的美国家庭无法定期获得品质良好的食物,但高达40%的食物却不是被人们食用而消耗掉的。造成这一现象的一个主要原因就是食物保质期标识混乱,而政府在这一方面目前还没有明确的规定。因此答案为A)。
