31、，此处表示将来。3expanding考查动名词。without后接动词的ing形式。4Fortunately考查副词。修饰非谓语整个句子用副词。5In考查固定搭配。in short简而言之，是固定短语。6are wasted考查主谓一致、时态和语态。在“数词量词of不可数名词”结构中，“1.3 billion tons”是中心词，故谓语要用复数，这里表示食物被浪费，要用被动语态，且表示一般情况，因此要用一般现在时的被动。7needed考查过去分词。分析句子结构可知，空处在句子中作定语，根据提示可知要用过去分词needed，相当于which is needed。8hungry考查词性转化。此处作表语，故用形容词hungry(饥饿的)。9patterns考查名词复数。此处表示复数意义，因此要用pattern的复数形式。10the考查定冠词。same前要用定冠词the，the same表示“一样”。
