In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It´ s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.(41)____ Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined.
The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world´ s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world´ s most populous continent. (42)____ Although this region has a much lower popu-lation than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don´ t have enough to eat.
There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of fanning land. (43)____ Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.
(44)____ In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. (45)____ The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.
A.The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food,but its distribution.
B.More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.
C.All these factors affect food production.
D.It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.
E.In those places,obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.

参考答案:G进入在线模考
参考译文。
2009年,世界饥饿人口数字首次达到10亿。平均七个人中就有一人没有足够的食物,这点十分令人震惊。(41)到今年年底,会有超过3500万的人由于饥饿而死亡。每年由于饥饿死亡的人数要多于艾滋、疟疾、结核病。
联合国预估世界三分之二的饥饿人口在世界人口最多的亚洲。
(42)世界四分之一的饥饿人口位于撒哈拉以南的非洲地区。尽管此地区的人口远远低于亚洲,但它的饥饿人口比例最高。其他剩余的饥饿人口分布在拉丁美洲、北非和加勒比海地区。在世界经济发达地区,只有极少数人有温饱问题。
世界饥饿问题的原因有很多,包括战争、干旱、洪水以及对耕地的过度使用。(43)所有这些因素影响食物生产。许多人责怪贪婪的商人,认为他们提高了全球市场的基本食物价格。但是,最重要的原因仅仅是因为贫穷,由于2008年的金融危机使得贫困加剧。
尽管许多人明确地指出如果全球人口变少会缓解饥饿问题,很少有人认为是没有足够的食物供分配。(44)根本问题不是食物缺乏而是分配不均。在过去的50年里,全球食物生产的速度要快于人口增长的速度。世界上有很多地区人们的食物供给远超出基本水平。(45)这些地区人们的肥胖问题远大于饥饿问题。因此,世界饥饿问题的答案应该是全球均衡的食物分配。每个人都要有足够的食物,而不是过量的食物。.
【精析】前文提到世界饥饿问题,然后列举了一些数字为例,综观所有选项,G项“By the end of this year,more than 35 million peo-pie will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.”到今年底,会有超过3500万的人由于饥饿丽死亡,可承接上下文,语意顺畅,故选G。
