问题     The holidays are the most wasteful time of the year. The amount of waste produced increases by more than 25% from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Waste from shopping bags alone amounts to four million tons in the U. S. and 28 billion pounds of food is wasted annually. That’s about 100 pounds per person. Now for the good news. You can simplify the holidays, do something about the amount of waste. Most issues surrounding food safety and food waste involve leftovers(剩饭). Plan ahead for the number of people you will be feeding, including a day or two of leftovers, but don’t try to keep food too long. Preparing the right amount of food will keep everyone feeling well and eliminate the need to throw away extra food this time of year.
    Plan thoughtfully when giving gifts. Waste-free gifts of time and talent are appreciated. Tickets to concerts, the zoo, movies or sporting events make fun gifts and don’t come with any waste.
    Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn’t the metal variety. Better yet, reduce waste by wrapping gifts in shopping bags or other reusable items, to save the wrapping part of the package.
The passage is mainly about______.
选项 A、when to buy Thanksgiving gifts
B、how to reduce wastes in holidays
C、how to spend New Year’s Day
D、when to handle leftover food
答案B
解析 主旨大义题。本题考查文章的主要内容。本文首先提出节日带来巨大浪费，然后建议做饭前根据人数做好计划以减少剩饭，送礼物时尽量选择使用购物袋或其他可重复使用的材料包装礼品以避免浪费。由此可知，本文的主要内容是如何减少节假日造成的浪费，由此可以确定B)“如何减少节假日中的浪费”为本题的答案。
