21、Replacing the meat and dairy products that make up a typical European diet with laboratory-grown produce could cut food-related greenhouse gases, as well as water and land use, by over 80 percent, a new study suggests. Food production has huge environmental impacts, creating more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
To assess ways to reduce this impact, Rachel Mazac at the University of Helsinkiin Finland and her colleagues have studied the potential effects of switching to “novel and future foods”. “What we are looking at are foods that are novel in their production technology, like cultured meat or cultured milk,” says Mazac. Her team used the analyses to calculate the potential benefits of switching to these foods assuming people are willing to do so, compared with foods that are typically consumed in Europe.
The results suggest that an “optimised diet” of novel foods could cut greenhouse emissions by 83 percent, water use by 84 percent and land use by 87 percent. “We are seeing some pretty significant reductions in impacts,” says Mazac. The team also found that switching to a vegan (素食的) diet had the similar effect. But switching to lab-grown meat, rather than a vegan diet, could allow many people to eat foods that are more like their current diet. “It would be a way for someone to consume their fast-food burger, but save on land use and water use and global warming potential,” says Mazac.
Speaking of the results, Tim Lang at City, University of London, says: “It’s almost too good to be true.” If the findings are correct, the research has important policy implications (启示), he says. But Lang thinks the environmental benefits won’t come about through consumers making voluntary changes to their diet. They will only play out if governments and companies essentially force these foods on people, he says.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A.By comparing facts.
B.By voicing opinions.
C.By releasing figures.
D.By reporting findings.
【2】What can be inferred from the research led by Mazac?
A.People tend to welcome novel foods enthusiastically.
B.A new way is used to assess the benefits of novel foods.
C.Novel foods are not likely to affect people’s eating habits.
D.Water and land use is on the rise in novel food production.
【3】What is Lang’s attitude towards the future of novel foods?
A.Doubtful.
B.Critical.
C.Optimistic.
D.Responsible.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Less Meat, Fewer Problems
B.Novel Foods, Greener Planet
C.Lab-grown Meat: Best Choice Food
D.Future Foods: Healthy Diet
22、 Food brings us together and connects us to our families, friends, nature and to foreign cultures. Food is universal. Food waste, on the other hand, has become a universal problem, as it significantly contributes to climate change. Luckily, there are countries that have laws to require supermarkets or other businesses to donate unsold food.
About one third of all food grown for human consumption is thrown out or wasted according to the Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO). This creates both environmental and financial problems, since traditional agriculture requires large amounts of resources including land and water. Food production is also a major cause of greenhouse gases and climate change.
Food waste occurs at every step of food production from the field to the store. In fact, fruits, vegetables, and roots have the highest waste. Donating food that is unusually wasted does not mean giving away damaged food. Sometimes it is simply a case of food being mislabeled, a can that has a torn label, or slightly bruised fruit.
To reduce both the financial and environmental pressure, Italy passed a law to encourage businesses and farmers to donate unsold food to charities. Companies that donate their leftovers will pay lower taxes on waste removal.
Waste management is also a very costly thing for governments. In fact, according to Global Citizen, in 2016, Italy spent over $13.3 billion on waste management. The idea behind the law is that when it is economic and convenient, companies will happily follow the law.
France was the first country to pass a food donation law in 2016. It required supermarkets that are at least 4,300 square feet to donate unsold food to charity. Since then, 90 percent of supermarkets began donating food, the number of which was 66 percent before the law.
To increase food donations, Israel passed a law in 2018 to ensure that unused food from restaurants, hotels and other places goes to the people that need it most.
【1】What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A.FAO's guidelines.
B.Human eating diets.
C.Global climate change.
D.Food-related problems.
【2】What is most likely to be given away according to the law?
A.Heavily broken canned food.
B.Unhealthy vegetables.
C.Slightly bruised fruit.
D.Damaged food.
【3】How will the government of Italy benefit from the law?
A.It will sell donated food to make money.
B.It will ask companies to pay higher taxes.
C.It will save money on waste management.
D.It will attract more international companies.
【4】What is known about the food donation law?
A.It seems difficult to pass in Israel.
B.It takes effect gradually in France.
C.It is just applied in supermarkets.
D.It is an unsuccessful try in France.
23、 There are millions of reasons to feel grateful. Acknowledge them all, big and small every day and you just may put yourself on the path to better health. Here’s how.
【1】 In a study by Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, people who wrote down one thing that they were grateful for every day reported being 25 percent happier for a full six months after following this practice for just three weeks.
You get healthier. 【2】 They keep away from harmful behaviors, like smoking and drinking too much alcohol. They exercise, on average, 33 percent more and sleep extra 30 minutes a night.
【3】 The research finds that those who feel more appreciated by their partners are more likely to appreciate their partners in return and to stay in the relationship nine months later. Gratitude can help their brains appreciate the things in their relationships that are going well. It can also calm down the nervous system and prevent them from being angry.
You’ll be a nicer person. People can’t help but pay gratitude forward. When you express gratitude toward a colleague or a friend, he or she feels grateful in return, and the back-and-forth continues. 【4】 So they want to continue doing them, not only for you but also for others.
You’ll be more optimistic. When we notice kindness and other gifts we’ve benefited from, our brains become wired to seek out the positives in any situation, even terrible ones. 【5】 “A grateful attitude toward life is relatively immune to both fortune and misfortune,” says Emmons.
A.You’ll feel more delighted.
B.You’ll be appreciated more.
C.You’ll improve your relationship.
D.As a result, we’re better at getting over loss and failure.
E.The better your body functions, the more energetic you feel.
F.Experts believe that grateful people tend to appreciate their health more than others do.
G.What’s more, your expression makes them feel good about the kind acts that they’ve done.
24、One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. “Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres’s visit to the flood-stricken country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.
【1】What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan?
A.The geographic feature it bears.
B.The role it played in fighting floods.
