26、   Experts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind the US as one of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global methane emissions. While cows are the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as well.

Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed. With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!

Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less greenhouse gas than animals.

Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants, grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.

While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories, and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!

【1】Which of the following animals contribute the most to global methane emissions?

A．Sheep.

B．Donkeys.

C．Cows.

D．Pigs.

【2】How is the third paragraph developed?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By providing examples.

C．By listing data.

D．By asking questions.

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

A．Few people eat insects regularly.

B．Ordinary insects are high in fat.

C．Insects contain various vitamins.

D．Saturated fat is harmful to health.

27、How to Make Friends, According to Science

Friendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.

The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.

So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.

If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.

Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend.

【1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that .

A．a strong social relationship can guarantee a long life

B．real friendships are based on the exchange of presents

C．people’s inner circle is decreasing despite large social networks

D．people’s social networks depend on their desire for companionship

【2】What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life?

A．Sharing secrets with close friends.

B．Choosing likable people as friends.

C．Avoiding the humble acquaintance.

D．Spending time for deeper friendships.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The tips on how to develop friendship.

B．The reasons for seeking companionship.

C．The benefits brought by a good social life.

D．The relationship between friendship and happiness.

【4】The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .

A．using research results

B．making comparisons

C．giving some examples

D．telling personal stories

28、How Old Mascara Wands Can Help Wildlife

When injured and orphaned animals are found by wildlife rehabbers (野生动物康复者), they often need baths and can be covered in all sorts of unwanted pests. Opossums, squirrels, rabbits, and owls all need lots of care.【1】.

One refuge(庇护所) in North Carolina found an innovative way to use discarded mascara wands (丢弃的睫毛膏刷棒) to clean the coats of these rescued animals.【2】.

Appalachian Wildlife Refuge, a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary (庇护所) in North Carolina, began asking people to donate used mascara wands so they can be used to help care for animals. And a nonprofit “Wands for Wildlife” took off in 2017 when wildlife rehabilitator and the refuge's co-founder Savannah Trantham posted on her Facebook page asking for used wands. “Did you know something as simple as an old mascara wand can help wildlife?【3】. They work great because the bristles (刷毛) are so close together!” she wrote.【4】. Since then, the refuge has received hundreds of thousands of wands from every state in the U.S. and from places around the world.

If you'd like to donate, clean old mascara wands in warm, soapy water, then mail them to “Wands for Wildlife”. 【5】. Instead, you can help in other ways by collecting them from family and friends, by contributing to the refuge's wish list, or by making a financial donation.

A．We use mascara brushes to help remove fly eggs and bugs from the fur of the rescued animals.

B．The post was shared tens of thousands of times.

C．It can be painstaking to pick fly eggs and bugs out of the coats of tiny animals as they're being bathed.

D．The refuge immediately received package after package filled with wands.

E．If you don't have mascara wands, the refuge asks that you don't buy news ones.

F．By collecting used wands, we extend the life of a disposable plastic item.

G．Because the wands make quick work of the task plus it repurposes an item that would've ended up in a landfill.

29、China now has 52 sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, which was established to safeguard unique and irreplaceable cultural and natural sites around the world. Let’s have a look at some of them, which may give you some clues on your next travel plan.

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located in Lintong county, near Xi’an city, capital of Shaanxi province. A total of 8,000 life-size terracotta warriors, chariots and horses, and hundreds of bronze weapons have been unearthed from it. Many state leaders and experts worldwide believe that the discovery of the mausoleum is a major archeological find and can be called the eighth wonder of the world, paralleling Egypt’s pyramids.

Kulangsu, a Historic International Settlement

Gulangyu Island, known in the local dialect as Kulangsu, is located on the entry of the Jiulong River, facing the city of Xiamen. The island was occupied by at least a dozen countries, including Great Britain, France and Japan. As a result, Western culture grew rapidly there in the 19th century, especially music. With such a harmonious blend of Western music and Eastern culture, Gulangyu is naturally referred to as the “island of music”. It is famous for its outstanding musicians and musical instruments.

Qinghai Hoh Xil

Hoh Xil, which means “beautiful girl” in Mongolian, is located in the north-eastern end of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve is China’s largest and the world’s third largest uninhabited area. Because of the high altitude and fierce weather, it is impossible for people to live there, and therefore, it is a paradise for wildlife and home to more than 230 species of wild animals including endangered species such as the Tibetan antelope, which is recognized as the National Class I Protected animal.

In the United States, a company is working on a project that could change the way we think about public transportation. Its【1】system would move people around in steel tubes. Those passengers would be traveling at speeds of up to 1, 200 kilometers per hour.

The futuristic steel tube transportation system is called Hyperloop. Workers plan to test the system next year in a 【2】built community called Quay Valley. The town will be powered.【3】by energy from the sun.

The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk. Dirk Ahlborn is head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. He says his company has taken Mr. Musk's idea and is【4】a system that will be safe, environmentally friendly and fast.

“It's 100 percent solar【5】. We're not going to get up to 760 miles per hour, but we believe we can actually break the records that exist right now.”

This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada, could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop.

The system involves a series of capsules that【6】inside a long tube. These containers would not need to travel along a pathway or track. . The system-has been designed to operate above or below ground.

“Inside the tube you create a low【7】environment very similar to an airplane that's at high altitudes. So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn't meet with as much【8】, and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy.”

Dirk Ahlborn and his company will use an eight-kilometer track in Quay Valley to find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules. A larger system will cost a(n)【9】six to $10 billion to build.

If Mr. Ahlborn and his company succeed, we may one day see these very fast Hyperloop capsules 【10】through tubes around the world.
