2017年福建省泉州市高考英语一模试卷

副标题

一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）

A

Experts predict nine billion people will live on our planet by 2050．They say by that time demand for food will be two times what it is now．Officials are worried about that prediction because many people already suffer from a lack of food．More than 800 million people go to bed hungry．

A solution（解决办法）to the problem may be as close as our forests．A new report says forests could help reduce hunger and improve nutrition if they are properly managed．

Bhaskar Vira is the director of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute and an expert with the International Union of Forest Research Organizations （IUFRO）．It recently released a report at the United Nations about forest and jungle foods．

Mr．Vira says crops that grow on trees can help feed people living in and around forests．"It's like an insurance policy．Having access to those tree-based foods is hugely important when you can't buy food from other sources or when you can't produce food because your fields have failed．"

The report says that forest health and economic value improves when people who live in or near forests are given greater control of them．For example，a project in Ghana aims for proper management of forests and fields together．The people involved hope to grow the Allanblackia plant．The oil from its seed can be used in soap，beauty products and food．Okai Michael Henchard leads the project．He says he will help people who live nearby．He says they earn money and get trees on their land．The trees provide shade and improve air quality．Mr．Henchard says the project also helps fight climate change．
