1. (2023高三上·定远月考) 阅读理解

Earlier this year I traveled to Turkana in Kenya. I was there to take pictures of the "broken food system".  

As a special visitor, I was greeted with songs and dances. The locals used to sing and dance all the time but now Turkana is silent and has been for some years. No one is singing or dancing anymore because they have no food, nothing to celebrate. Many of them are surviving on one handful of corn a day and water, which they can get just every two days.  

I met Tede Lokapelo, a local farmer who described the experience of a six-year drought (干旱). Tede used to have 200 goats, but now he has only seven left. He told me that this drought has taught him a hard lesson:it is too difficult to keep animals. He lives on animals. His traditional way of life has been completely destroyed now. Without the food aid they got, Tede is certain that they would starve because there are no other sources to feed themselves left.  

Sadly, the same can be heard in almost any developing country around the world. Almost one billion people go to bed hungry each night. The food system is broken. In Turkana, not enough rain has fallen since 2005. They measure rainfall not in days or weeks but in minutes. More and more people are being forced to rely on food aid, but people like Tede don't want food aid. They want to work and create their own economy. It's our responsibility to fix the system so that they can support themselves.  

Drought is impossible to avoid but hunger is manmade, and unless enough money is provided to develop a basic infrastructure (基础设施) for people in the area, thousands more lives are sure to be lost.
