24、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

With rising food prices， growing population and environmental problems， many people are worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future. Don’t worry. Scientists are trying to find some answers.

Some scientists believe insects will become a staple of our diet. Insects provide as many nutrients as ordinary meat and a great source of protein(蛋白质) ， they also cost less to raise than cows and use less water. About 1，400 species are suitable as food for humans. Many people have already eaten insects as a part of their diet. Locusts are popular in Africa， wasps are a dish in Japan， and crickets are eaten in Thailand. The Dutch government is preparing for insect farms and has invested one million euros into research.

In the future， land and fresh water will be in short supply. It is possible that people need to find a reliable food source in the ocean. Scientists have already found one at the bottom of the food chain---seaweed. It has long been a staple in Asia， and countries including Japan have huge seaweed farms. Such farms can easily work in other countries and be very successful. The great thing about seaweed is that it grows at an amazing rate. It’s the fastest growing plant on earth.

Scientists are also working in the lab to solve the problem of food shortage. A few years ago， European scientists successfully produced lab meat， also known as cultured meat. They grew muscle tissue using stem cells(干细胞)taken from cows. The experiment was funded by NASA to see if lab meat was a food astronauts could eat in space.

In 20 years’ time ， lab meat is likely to become a popular dish of our diet. According to research， growing meat in a lab rather than slaughtering(屠宰) animals can greatly reduce greenhouse gases， along with energy and water use. People can also reduce fat from the meat and add nutrients.

【1】According to the passage， which of the following is NOT a potential problem humans face in the future?

A. Rising food prices.  

B. Growing population.

C. Fewer skillful farmers.

D. Less fresh water available

【3】Which of the following are the features of insects?

【4】Why did NASA fund the experiment of creating lab meat?

A. Because they wanted to make extra money.

B. Because astronauts didn’t like the taste of beef and pork.

C. Because they wanted to solve the problem of food shortage.

D. Because they wanted to see if lab meat was a suitable food for astronauts.

26、Paul Nicklen waited patiently on a sheet of ice in the Arctic．He was there to take pictures for National Geographic．Finally，he saw something big and white．It was a polar bear，swimming towards him in the icy water．

Paul lay down on the ice to get a better photo，but the polar bear jumped out of the water and tried to attack him!Luckily for Paul，the ice cracked or broke and the bear fell back into the water．The polar bear wasn’t so lucky．It couldn’t get a meal and had to swim farther away to find food．

To understand the polar bear’s problem，you need to know two things about the Arctic．First，the Arctic is mostly ocean．Second，ice covers a lot of the Arctic Ocean．In winter，the ice forms a thick，white sheet，but in summer，the ice becomes thinner and breaks into pieces．Sea ice is the key to survival for Arctic animals．However，because of global warmin9，Arctic temperatures are rising and polar ice is melting.

Polar bears need ice to hunt seals，their favourite meal．They stand on the ice waiting for the seal to come up for air．As Arctic ice melts，polar bears have to swim farther to find ice floes，or large pieces of floating ice．Sometimes，bears have to swim more than 200 km to find an ice floe．Some bears cannot swim that far and sadly they drown．

On his last trip，Paul Nicklen saw three dead bodies of polar bears．Before global warming threatened Arctic ice，a dead bear was a rare sight．Paul is sad to see the dead bodies．Wildlife experts think global warming will have a terrible effect on polar bears．In the future，polar ice will continue to shrink and endanger the bears．Some scientists believe 65 percent of the world’s polar bears will disappear by 2050．In other words，polar bears are in great danger．

【1】The main idea of the passage is that   ．

A. polar bears are amazing swimmers

B. Arctic temperatures are rising

C. global warming is endangering polar bears

A. waiting on the ice   B. waiting in the water   C. drowning the seals

【4】From the passage，Paul Nicklen is maybe a   ．

A. scientist   B. photographer   C. psychologist
