答案：

1.[naturalproduce]

[定位]依据greenfood查找到第2段第3句。

解析：原文该句中的otherwise表明naturalproduce和green

food是同一概念，因此naturalproduce为本题答案。

2.[forman,naturehasanirresistibleappeal]

[定位]依据beautifyingproductsboastofbeingnatural及

because查找到第2段最终两句。

解析：第2段倒数第2句开头的And表明该句与该段Tobegin

with引出的第2句并列，因此，对倒数第2句的解释不能在之前的

句子查找，而应当在末句查找，事实上,这两句存在隐含的因果关系，

由此可见，末句就是本题答案。

3.[Theadvancementofscienceandtechnology.]

[定位]依据nestmillennium和characteristic查找到第3段

第3句。

解析：从原文该句中的characterize和题目中的be

characteristicof可以看出，原文与题目同义，区分只在于

characterize和becharacteristicof要求的主语和宾语位置互换，

因此原文的主语即为becharacteristicof的‘宾语，即本题答案。

千里之行，始于足下。

4.[thesoaringglobalpopulation]

[定位]依据题干内容查找到第3段第5、6句。

解析：第3段第6句表明自然资源匮乏的问题会由于“this”而

变得更严峻，而this指的是该段第5句描述的内容，从第5句可以

知道this指的是“全球人口的急剧增加”，用原文的词语可表达为

thesoaringglobalpopulation。

5.[anoceanofwhiterubbish]

[定位]依据题干内容查找到末段第3、4句。

解析：本题询问假如不停止使用不行回收利用的午餐饭盒，不行

回收饭盒最终会积累成什么。从
