A
Did you know that what's on your plate plays a larger role in contributing to climate change than the car you drive? Many people, especially in wealthier countries, are becoming worried about how much their individual carbon footprint is contributing to climate change. However, when they consider these issues, they'll usually think about what vehicle they drive and how much electricity they use in their home, but not so much about farming machinery, processed meals or food waste. Few consider the impacts of the food they eat, despite the fact that worldwide food systems account for roughly one quarter of all manmade emission of greenhouse gases. That's more than the entire global transportation sector.

答案:F
原文定位:Our food systems must deliver that need, without worsening the impacts of climate change
答案:B
原文定位:Between 1980 and 2008, for instance, wheat yields fell by 5.5% and maize yields by 3.8% due to rising temperatures

答案:A how the presence of forests benefits the environment,C the principal reason for which forests are cut down
原文定位:The world's forests are massive carbon sinks, vital natural 'reservoirs' which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it
答案:A selling products which have minor imperfections,E increasing refrigeration facilities in poorer regions of the world
原文定位:In the developing world, improving infrastructure along the food chain including cold storage - would prevent much good food being lost
