么人们会喜欢上这种不寻常的新饮食潮流呢？美籍亚裔文化评论家杰夫·杨认为，这是因为“未婚或无配偶的韩国人的孤独”。）”可知，人们会喜欢上这种不寻常的新饮食潮流是因为它可以满足人们孤独的内心世界，故选B项。3．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Mukbang—aSouthKoreanphrasemeaning"eatingbroadcast"—isanunusualfoodcraze(狂热)that'ssweepingthe,优点英语country.（Mukbang在韩语中的意思是“吃播”，是席卷韩国的一股不同寻常的饮食热潮。）”可知，文章主要介绍的是韩国的一种社会现象——Mukbang，也就是美食吃播。B项“ApopularTVprogrammeinKorea（一档韩国流行的电视节目）”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。4．C5．A6．B7．C【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍“吃播”的流行而提及食物浪费的现象。同时作者提到了为了解决食物浪费所采取的措施。4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Abigeatingshow,ormukbanginKorean,isanonlineaudiovisualshowinwhichavloggerconsumeslargequantitiesoffoodwhileinteractingwiththeaudience.TheseshowsoriginatedinSouthKoreaandhavebecomeaworldwidetrend.”（“大吃秀”韩语叫mukbang，是一种网络视听秀，视频博主在与观众互动的同时吃掉大量食物。这些节目起源于韩国，现已风靡全球。）可知，许多主播受欢迎的原因在于他们可以边主持节目边吃大量食物。故选C项。5．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“AccordingtotheFoodandAgricultureOrganizationoftheUnitedNations,aboutathirdoftheworld'sfood1.3billiontonsiswastedeveryyear,InChinaalone,asitwasoncereportedthattheamountoffoodwastedinChinawasenoughtofeed200millionpeopleayear.”（据联合国粮食及农业组织统计，全球13亿吨粮食每年约有三分之一被浪费，仅在中国，因为曾有报道称，中国被浪费的粮食足以养活2亿人一年。）可知，本段讲述包括中国在内全球食物浪费严重。故选A项。6．,优点英语词义猜测题。前文以提及了全球食物浪费严重。针对这种情况，在文章倒数第三段提到“Todiscouragethispractice,manyvideoandlive-streamingplatforms,includingDouyin,KuaishouandBilibili,haveremovedvideosthatshowfoodwaste.”（为了阻止这种做法，抖音、快手和哔哩哔哩等许多视频和直播平台都删除了显示浪费食物的视频。）由以上内容可以判断，中国人已经意识到了粮食安全的重要性，并且开始采取措施来“制止”粮食浪费的问题。划线后提到了为制止粮食浪费，一些省市的做法。综上，B项“停止，制止”符合题意。故选B项。7．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“
