21、   Australian consumers in Adelaide are taking part in a study to help realize the potential for edible（可食用的）insects as a food industry. Consumers' attitudes are being put to the test at Adelaide Central Market with an offering of roasted crickets and ants, mealworm cookies and cricket energy bars.

Researchers want to further probe consumers' attitudes towards edible insects, and evaluate taste preferences and consumers5 willingness to buy such products. In an earlier online survey of 820 Australian consumers, the researchers found that 20% had tried edible insects. Of those surveyed, 46% said they'd be willing to try a cookie made from insect flour.

" In the earlier survey, consumers said they were most likely to try flavored or roasted insects and least likely to want to try cockroaches or spiders," Dr Crump says. "In this taste test, we've chosen products that consumers are most likely to react positively towards―apologies to anyone keen to try a cockroach or spider. The samples we'll be offering consumers provide a good spread of the available insect products in Australia' s marketplaces, some of which may be more acceptable than others."

Dr Crump says the research will help guide the development of an edible insect industry. In Australia, edible insects remain a new agricultural industry. Consumer research is needed to improve consumer acceptance of edible insects, so as to realize their potential as an alternative protein（蛋白质）source.

Professor Kerry Wilkinson says edible insects could play a role in global food security. "Problems such as climate change, increasing global population, shortage of agricultural land and rapidly changing consumer preferences are common, particularly in developing countries where there is an increasing demand for high quality animal protein," he says. "These food security problems will only be overcome by a change in food consumption habits. Edible insects could provide one solution. We want to look at ways of overcoming barriers to insect consumption in Australia.

【1】What does the underlined word "probe" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A.Explore. B.Influence. C.Describe. D.Compare.

【2】Why have the researchers chosen certain insect products for the taste test?

A.Because they are richer in protein than other insects.

B.Because it is not difficult to flavor or roast them.

C.Because they are widely acceptable in Australia.

D.Because they are probably to consumers' taste.

【3】In Kerry Wilkinson's opinion, how can consumers help remove food security problems?

A.By taking in less animal protein.

B.By changing their eating habits.

C.By expanding agricultural land.

D.By controlling their appetite.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Insects Make Food Security No Longer a Problem

B.Could Edible Insects Help Global Food Security?

C.Edible Insects Prove an Alternative Protein Source

D.What Counts Most When It Gomes to Edible Insects?

23、   According to a new study, running 50 minutes a week, at a pace between 10- and 7.5-minute mile, helped lower the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. Working out more than that didn’t mean more health benefits, say the researchers, based on a review of a number of studies.

Because running is a popular form of physical activity, study coauthor Zeljko Pedisic and his workmates chose to take a bird’s eye view of what past studies of running and the risk of death had concluded. The team collected 14 papers that collectively studied 230,000 people for the effects of running on cardiovascular, cancer and other causes. Most participants were from the US and Europe.

Pooling the results from these 14 studies showed that running led to lowering the risk of cancer-related death by 23%, the risk of cardiovascular-related death by 30%, and the risk of death from all other causes by 27%. Those benefits appeared even when people ran relatively slowly and for under an hour a week — less time than the World Health Organization recently suggests.

There are warnings to the research, though. Among other things, possibly these benefits were found because all the 14 studies of running and the cause of death only included healthy people from the get-go, the authors write. Also, only two of the papers recorded how people’s running habits over the years, and how often people ran was self-reported in other papers.

Though the results suggest that people might need less of a workout than the WHO might suggest, that doesn’t mean it’s time to change these standards, Pedisic says. There are other health factors than need to be examined besides the risk of death, he says, and people need other ways to keep fit, too.

【1】What’s the new study mainly about?

A.Running as slowly as possible could keep you healthy

B.Running led to lower risk of death than other diseases

C.Running more than 50 minutes a week was bad for health

D.Running less than an hour a week could lower risks of death

【2】What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the 1st paragraph?

A.Running 50 minutes a month B.Running 10 miles a week

C.Running 50 minutes a week D.Running 7.5 miles a week

【3】It can be learned from the 14 studies that _______

A.12 of the studies self-reported how often people ran

B.most of the studies recorded people’s running habits

C.only people from America and Europe were included

D.running lowered the risk of death from cancer by 30%

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.People should run more than what the WHO suggests

B.The WHO needs to change its standards for running

C.The new study results need to be further proved

D.Running is one of the best ways to keep fit

24、One of the classic science-fiction treatments of the end of civilization was The Death of Grass, by John Christopher, in which a mysterious sickness struck down all the grasses on which most of the world's agriculture is based, from rice to wheat. Tn the end, politics among the survivors of disease, war and famine were reduced to bitter fratricidal struggle over a defensible potato patch. Like most of the so-called 'comfortable disaster" novels, this could be criticized for optimism. Depressing as a future of famine and the war of all against all might seem, the consequences were largely limited to humans.

However, the threatened extinction of insect populations around the world raises the prospect of a much less general disaster, which would involve plants, birds, fish, small mammals, and everything else depending on insects. That's just the start. Other species, and we ourselves, depend on the animals and plants that need insects. When they go, we go. This is not just a greater disaster. It's a much more reasonable one. The most recent study has concluded that insect biomass is decreasing around the world at a rate of 2.5% a year. At that rate, half the insects in the world will be gone in 50 years' time, and all of them in a century — though no one will be keeping track of centuries then.

The chief driver of this disaster is unchecked human greed. I spite our individual and even collective cleverness, we behave as a species with as little foresight as a colony of nematode worms that will consume everything that it can reach until all is gone and it dies off naturally. The challenge of behaving more intelligently than creatures that have no brain at all will not be easy. But unlike the nematodes, we know what to do. The UN convention on biodiversity was signed in 1992, alongside the convention on climate change. Giving it the strength to hold back our appetites is now urgent. Biodiversity is not an optional extra. It is the web that holds all life, including human life.

The two main expressions of greed that speed this apocalypse are global warming and industrial agriculture. It appears that most of the damage is being done in the developed world by farming practices. The use of giant fields, lack of shelter for insects of any sort at all, whether they are harmful to human interests or not, and where the plants are drenched in long-lasting pesticides, is fatal for uncounted billions of insects. The effects of this kind of forming reach beyond the fields immediately affected, too. There has been a huge loss of aquatic insect species from the rivers into which the products of industrial agriculture arc flushed by rain. Even in German nature reserves, which arc by definition protected from the use of pesticides, there have been sleep falls in insect populations because so many of the most widely used ones are persistent and prevent breeding.

【1】Which of the following statements about The Death of Grass is true?

A．It holds an optimistic attitude towards famine in the future.

B．It understates the severity of the disaster facing the world.

C．It gives a vivid account of the most serious famine in history.

D．It demonstrates how evil human nature turns out to be.

【2】In paragraph 2, the writer mentions the most recent study in order to________.

A．prove that the prediction about the great disaster makes sense

B．show how soon the insects worldwide will go extinct

C．argue for the necessity to protect insect populations

D．suggest a possible approach to increasing insect biomass

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Humans are similar to nematode in that both of them lack foresight.

B．We haven't done enough about maintaining biodiversity.

C．Modem farming is to blame for the threatened extinction of insects.

D．Germany sets a good example by minimizing the use of pesticides.

【4】What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A．How industrial agriculture brings about apocalypse.

B．What influence pesticides may have on people's lives.

C．Why insect populations in Germany are on the decline.

D．Where unchecked human greed can also by spotted.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon in March: tempura broccoli(天妇罗花椰菜). The man who sent the e-mail didn't actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, who adored the dish. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.

Steve Chu, one of the Asian restaurant's co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. "Thanks for reaching out." he wrote. "We'd like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you."

Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was shocked. He e-mailed back, saying, "You do know that this is Vermont we're talking about, right?" said Brandon. But Steve responded, "No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we'll be there."

For the past six years, every time Brandon's mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could have that broccoli. "I really wanted her to have it one more time," Brandon said.

"She had always told us, 'When I'm on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,'" recalled Brandon's wife. Rina Jones.
