【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类在生活中各个方面的浪费现象十分严重，现在是呼吁停止浪费的时候了。

【1】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：食物因为味道不好而被浪费掉。陈述的是客观事实，food 与waste之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是food，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填is wasted。

【2】考查名词。句意：人们砍伐树木只是为了获取燃料。tree是可数名词，空后的“are”表明此处用复数形式，故填Trees。

【3】考查副词。句意：人们捕杀野生动物只是为了获取食物。修饰介词短语for food用副词，故填simply。

【4】考查冠词。句意：煤和矿物的开采方式很糟糕。way是可数名词，此处用不定冠词表泛指，bad的发音以元音音素开头，故填a。

【5】考查形容词。句意：许多人倾向于把时间花在毫无价值的事情上，比如在街上闲逛，在办公室闲聊，或者白天睡大觉。修饰名词things用形容词，根据空后的举例可知此处表示“无价值的”，故填worthless。

【6】考查动名词。句意同上，分析句子结构可知此处与wandering和gossiping并列用动名词作such as的宾语，故填sleeping。

【7】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：正如我们所知，时间对我们是如此宝贵，一去不复返。if引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表将来，主语是it，谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填passes。

【8】考查固定句型。句意：现在是呼吁停止浪费的时候了。It is time to do是固定句型，表示“是做某事的时候了”，故填to call。

【9】考查非限定性定语从句。句意：一方面，我们必须节约和充分利用自然资源，这对我们的未来非常重要。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代整个主句内容并在从句中作主语，故填which。

【10】考查固定短语。句意：否则，人类将面临自然资源的匮乏和遭受浪费造成的污染。suffer from表示“遭受”，故填from。
