Question

A

      These days seven cleaners who work in Yantai University's dining hall are well known to people around China. They are eating the leftovers that students leave behind on their plates.

So we came up with the ‘clean plate’ idea after noticing a lot of food left in plates. ”

Answer 1

A 阅读提示:在烟台大学餐厅工作的吴明华等七位保洁员经常发现学生浪费粮食的现象很严重，于是他们就将学生吃剩的饭菜作为自己的午餐，他们用行动将“杜绝浪费、厉行节约”的风气吹向社会。

1. B 细节理解题。由第二段首句“Wu Minghua a 62-year-old retired teacher now works as a cleaner”可知，吴明华是退休教师，因此选  B.

2. C 细节理解题。由第二段“Every day he carries plastic bags with him when clearing out the food in the dining hall. ”可知，每天他清理餐厅的时候都会带着一个塑料袋子。由此可得到提示 他们是餐厅保洁员。故选   C.

3. D 词义猜测题。下文中提到“because he looks on the students as his children”，他把这些孩子看作是自家的孩子，由此可知，吃他们剩下的饭菜他并不感到可耻。因此猜测，humiliating意为“可耻的”。

5. C主旨大意题。理解全文可知，七位保洁员吃学生剩饭，并不是因为贫穷，他们是在用行动教育学生节约粮食。因此选  C.
