22、When food items are specifically labeled as vegan (素食) —indicating they are prepared with no animal products, including eggs or butter—people are less likely to select them, even though it is better for the planet and for their health, according to a recent experiment.
Growing and transporting food accounts for a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions, which are accelerating the climate crisis. Of these, the vast majority come from processes linked to meal and dairy production, which is why experts are advising societies to shift toward more plant-based eating.
“We have to make big changes to how we produce and consume food if we want to reach climate goals and feed Earth’s ever-growing population,” says Richard Waite, an expert on food climate policy. But the study at MIT indicates this may prove challenging.
Researchers asked some 150 people attending several university events to choose their lunch between two options, one of them vegan. Choices included vegetable vs. cheese ravioli (奶酪馄饨) and a vegetable potato wrap vs. a Greek salad with feta (羊乳酪). A similar study of meal preferences was also conducted online. Half the respondents in both studies randomly received an order form in which the vegan item was labeled. When this vegan terminology (术语) was used, people were less likely to order the dish than when it was not. For the in-person attendees, some two-thirds more avoided the dish. After the research was published, some people told the study’s lead author, Alex Berke, a doctoral student at MIT’s Media Lab, the results were unexpected. But she anticipated the outcome. Berke herself began eating vegetarian diet—a plant-based one that includes dairy and eggs—at age 10 and adopted a vegan diet three years ago to help the climate. “Anyone who has been eating vegan for a while would not he surprised at the findings,” says Berke. “Because there is a strong bias among people when it comes to vegetarian diet.”
Environmentalists are clear they are not urging everyone to become vegetarians, but, if possible, to include more plant-based meals. “If you shift a third of your beef consumption to beans and soy, you reduce the climate impact of your diet by about 15 percent, one environmentalist says.
【1】What does the recent experiment find?
A．People make food choices randomly.
B．Vegan-labeled foods are less popular.
C．People tend to avoid meal products.
D．Food choices have a huge impact on climate.
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A．No one chose the food labeled vegan.
B．The study was conducted online.
C．150 university students took part in the study.
D．Berke thought the findings were understandable.
【3】What does the underlined word “bias” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Similarity.
B．Desire.
C．Prejudice.
D．Influence.
【4】What do environmentalists suggest people do?
A．Avoid plant-based meals.

D．Abandon meal products.
23、Anyone who commutes(通勤)by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But humans are not alone in facing potential backups.
Ants also commute—between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their habitats depends on doing this efficiently.
When humans commute, there’s a point at which cars become dense(稠密) enough to slow down the flow of traffic, causing jam. Researchers wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food. Then they waited and watched, trying to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow of ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then levelled off at high densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic as a whole. And they found that when ants sense overcrowding, they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviors may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding(碰撞) with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down.
Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely. That’s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first. Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans—and more like ants.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Surviving.
B．Commuting.
C．Finding food.
D．Avoiding jams.
【2】How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A．Through closer observation.
B．By regulating their numbers.
C．By finding out the dense points.
D．By controlling the widths of their path.
【3】How can ants avoid traffic jam according to the research?
A．They follow a special route.
B．They level off at high densities.
C．They never stop or slow down on the way.
D．They depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Traffic jams
B．Survival of an ant colony
C．Unavoidable? Not for ants!
D．Differences between human and ants
24、Migrants to the UK are to be quizzed about their English skills before being able to claim income-related benefits, the government has announced.
In a move to "protect the integrity（完整性）of the benefits system", people will also be asked what efforts they have made to find work before coming to Britain. Work and Pensions Secretary Duncan Smith said people should not be able to "take advantage" of British benefits. Job centres in England, Scotland and Wales will use the "more mighty" test. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said the test would ensure "only migrants who have a legal right to be in Britain and plan to contribute to this country can make a claim for benefits".
"For the first time, migrants will be quizzed about what efforts they have made to find work before coming to the UK and whether their English language skills will be a barrier to them finding employment," the DWP said in a statement.
Income-related benefits include council tax benefit, housing benefit, income-based jobseeker's allowance and pension credit.
Mr. Duncan Smith said British people were "rightly concerned" that migrants should contribute to the economy and should not be "drawn here by the attractiveness of our benefits system".
"It is vitally important that we have strict rules in place to protect the integrity of our benefits system," he said. He said the new test would help create a fair system which provided for "genuine" workers and jobseekers but "does not allow people to come to our country and take advantage".
To claim the benefits, migrants will have to pass a "habitual residence test" including more than 100 extra questions compared to now. This will be overseen by an "intelligent IT system" which will ensure questions are "tailored to each individual claimant".
Migrants will be allowed to claim benefits if they can prove they are legally allowed to be in Britain and are "habitually resident" of the country. As part of this they might be questioned about what measures they have taken to "establish" themselves in Britain and what ties they still have abroad.
"They will also have to provide more evidence that they are doing everything they can to find a job," the DWP said.
【1】What does the British government use the test for?
A. promoting the English skills of migrants.
B. making efforts to help migrants find work.
C. protecting the rights of migrants.
D. ensuring the British benefit claimed legally by migrants .
【2】What do we know about the test?
A. All British residents must be quizzed about their English skills.
B. The test will ask migrants whether they are willing to work in Britain.
C. The test is an act to protect British benefits system.
D. The test will help the government dismiss jobseekers.
【3】What does the underlined word “claimant “(in para.7) probably mean in the text?
A. a person who applies B. a person who is badly off
C. a person who migrates D. a person who is quizzed
【4】What does the passage mainly want to inform us?
A. All migrants can claim benefits from the UK.
B. Income-related benefits can be a great help to migrants.
C. All migrants come to the UK only to claim benefits.
D. Migrants are to pass a test to get the benefits from the UK.
