26、Concerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.
More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.
This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, a vegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”
Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still face resistance (抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while she shopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.
Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.
【1】Why are more people eating less meat?
A．Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.
B．Because plant-based food is getting popular.
C．Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.
D．Because health and the environment are their concerns.
【2】What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?
A．Bringing down the price.
B．Gaining consumers’ acceptance.
C．Obtaining official permission.
D．Getting ahead of other companies.
【3】Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncaring.
C．Negative.
D．Positive.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A new way to make a fortune.
B．Negative results of lab-grown meat.
C．New research findings on healthy diet.
D．A meat alternative grown in labs.
27、Preventing heart disease is a topic I think about all the time, given my family history of heart disease. So last summer, I travelled to Bolivia. The natives, called the Tsimane,were reported to have the healthiest hearts in the world. I wanted to learn what they could teach me about preventing heart disease.
Getting to the Tsimane wasn’t easy. They lived in small family groups of about 60 people along river banks. We finally found one of the villages at sunset. That night, we set up our tents in the middle of the village. Thatched huts (茅草屋) surrounded us, with no electricity or modern conveniences.
I initially thought they mainly got their calories from meat. However, I found food such as rice and corn made up nearly 70% of their diet. The food was not processed, lacking added sugars or salts.
During my stay there, I went hunting and fishing with the men and played soccer with the kids. I found the Tsimane were standing or walking nearly all of their waking hours. Men spent lots of time tracking animals. Farming and gathering, mostly done by children and women,were all-day affairs.
I also got a clear idea of how they rested. As soon as the sun went down, people returned to their huts and went to sleep. And with the call of the cock in the morning, another day began.
The lifespan (平均寿命) of the Tsimane is actually much shorter than those living in the US. Various factors,like animal attacks and infections, bring down the lifespan. But up until the day they die, they are often very healthy. While heart disease kills thousands of Americans every year and costs nearly a billion dollars a day, the Tsimane remind us that wealth doesn't necessarily buy health.
【1】Why does the author pay so much attention to preventing heart disease?
A．He wants to teach others about the topic.
B．His family members encourage him to do so.
C．He was born with a high risk of heart disease.
D．He dreams of becoming a doctor.
【2】Which factors did the author mainly focus on in his research?
A．Diet, activity and rest.
B．Housing, food and cooperation.
C．Physical work, social life and lifespan.
D．Group size, family history and consumption.
【3】What was the Tsimane’s sleep-wake cycle mainly based on?
A．Natural light.
B．Natural sound.
C．Routine activity.
D．Animal behaviour.
【4】What might the author advise us to do after his travels in Bolivia?
A．Stand less and walk more.
B．Take in less sugar and salt.
C．Eat white meat instead of red meat.
D．Live in the middle of the community.
28、New York—like Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington—sits underneath the “Atlantic Flyway”, an ancient migration (迁徙) route travelled by millions of birds, every spring and autumn. Up to a quarter of a million of them die crashing into windows in New York every year, according to New York City Audubon, the bird charity that organizes Project Flight Safe. Birds confuse reflections of sky or plants for the real thing and fly straight for them.
In 2021, however, new laws came into force in New York requiring all new buildings and restoration work to be made bird-friendly. It is the strictest such laws in America. The case of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre in west Manhattan is a good example. It used to be a top bird-killer, but after swapping its glasses for bird-friendly glass, strikes dropped by 90%. The centre has now fully embraced bird life. Its green roof is home to a breeding seagull group, and as of October 18th, 62 different species have been spotted there.
At night, artificial light draws birds into the city, where they are more likely to crash. Some studies suggest birds can fail to tell direction because artificial light prevents them from sensing the Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field effectively. Last year the city passed a law that requires all city owned and managed buildings to switch their lights off at night during birds’ migration seasons. The law will extend the requirement to privately owned commercial buildings next year. Though exceptions would be allowed for landmarks such as the Empire State and the Chrysler Building, the change would still transform the world’s most famous skyline.
Jessica Wilson of NYC Audubon says that would be a good thing for birds, energy consumption and people. New York is on track to become the most bird-friendly big city in America.
【1】What is responsible for bird crashes in New York?
A．Glass reflections.
B．The attraction of sunlight.
C．New York’s unique climate.

【2】What can we know about the Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre?
A．It has reduced birds’ death by 90%.
B．It was painted green to attract birds.
C．It was the first to put new laws into force.
D．It has developed into a bird-friendly place.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Birds’ talent for telling directions.
B．Distinctive landmarks in New York.
C．Results of applying bird-protection laws.
D．Efforts to protect birds from crashing at night.
【4】What does Jessica Wilson think of the law issued last year?
A．Energy-consuming.
B．Promising.
C．Eye-catching.
D．Annoying.
29、Life in the future will be different from life today.Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?

Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his _________ in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While _________ in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, a preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic, made of mainly glass and marble, and told Bachor, “Glass and marble don’t _________. So, this looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bachor says, “That kind of staying power just _________ me so much.”
A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to _________ the ancient technique. Years after that, he mastered the technique. He __________ that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) __________ to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject,” he says.
