21、20 years ago, a couple of ecologists, Daniel Janzen and Winnie Hallwachs, convinced Del Oro, a large orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park in exchange for the right to dump (倾倒) massive amounts of orange peels on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park, at no cost. Dealing with tons of waste peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them dumped at a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.
A year after the contract was signed, Del Oro dumped around 12,000 tons of sticky orange waste in the land. However, another juice company and rival of Del Oro challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting the national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through. The 3-hectare piece of land virtually covered with fruit waste was completely forgotten.
Then, in 2013, Timothy Treuer, a scientist at Princeton University visited that piece of land 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him. “It was completely overgrown with trees and vines,” Timothy Treuer recently said, “the difference between fertilized and unfertilized areas was visually surprised us a lot! We needed to come up with some really good standards to evaluate exactly what was happening there.”
To confirm that the fruit waste was responsible for the revival of plant life, Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples, analyzing and comparing them. They found “dramatic differences between the areas covered in orange peels and those that were not. The area fertilized by orange waste had richer soil, greater tree-species richness and greater forest coverage. In a sense, it’s not just a win-win between the company and the local park—it’s a win for everyone.”
The effect the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (堆肥), but what is shocking is that a judge actually called this particular example polluting the national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer’s study has received worldwide attention, this type of polluting is being seriously considered as a way of bringing tropical forests back to life.
【1】Why was the deal proposed by the ecologists attractive to Del Oro?
A. It would make farmers produce more oranges.
B. It would help deal with the orange peel waste for free.
C. It would increase the production of orange juice.
D. It would save much space for the orange juice producer.
【2】What does the underlined phrase ‘‘fell through” in the second paragraph?
A. became unbelievable B. failed to happen
C. made something possible D. changed the course of an event
【3】What did Treuer find when he visited the land covered with orange waste?
A. The peel waste was hard to break down there.
B. Del Oro continued dumping peel waste there.
C. The peel waste enriched the soil of the land.
D. The whole national park was polluted.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Orange peel waste found its way to reshape the national park.
B. A couple of ecologists devoted themselves to restoring the forest.
C. A casual attempt led to a series of expected magic results.
D. Orange peel waste brought a forest back to life.
22、As 3D printing technology improves, people keep finding new uses for it. And the latest is pretty sweet: cheesecake. Researchers with the department of mechanical engineering at Columbia University created a seven-ingredient slice of cake using a 3D printer, and they say printing foods could be a new cooking option with several benefits.
Such printers have been used to make organs before, and similar technologies already exist in the food space 一like pizza and bread robots, pasta printers and automatic cake decorators, the researchers say in the study, published in the NPJ Science and Food journal.
The researchers defined printed food as“the controlled deposition(沉淀), of an ingredient; as such, any ingredient that was pushed into paste(酱),” and they say many existing processed foods can be considered “printed” by this definition. So, in order to make the 3D-printed peanut butter -banana cheesecake with a cherry coat, all the ingredients had to be converted into paste-like substances. All seven ingredients were put in to the 3D printer and then printed out in layers into the shape of a piece of cheesecake.
The researchers say 3D printing food could allow cooks to control the nutrient content in a meal and also offer the ability to make more customized meals. It also reduces human contact with food, which could prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses and diseases.
They also see sustainability benefits to printing food, because ingredients can be locally sourced, plant-based meals can be created and the shelf life of the foods could be extended.
Printing food could also help people with swallowing and other digestive disorders,by providing new food options, rather than the bland foods they may be restricted to.
While some processed foods could have better taste, texture, cleanliness and shelf lives, processing foods can also degrade their nutrients. However, the researchers hope developing the 3D printing technology can help prevent nutrient degradation while processing foods.
【1】What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A．Printing food is not as strange as it sounds.
B．Such printers were only used in medical before.
C．Printing pizza is similar to printing bread robots.
D．This technology gets the approval of many scientists.
【2】How did the researchers make the ingredients printable?
A．By squeezing them into paste.
B．By cutting them into pieces.
C．By shaping them into layers.
D．By putting them into different printers.
【3】What is the benefit of printing cooking?
A．Increasing human contact with food.
B．Making meals become more nutritious.
C．Promoting the spread of food-borne diseases.
D．Treating the disorders associated with food.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A diet dairy.
B．A cookbook.
