25、By the year 2050, it is estimated that the world’s population will reach nine billion. An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible.

Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grow on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production.

Food has many hidden cost: huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation (退化) . Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The figures for food waste in West are staggering.

To solve this problem of public ignorance (无知) about food, Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on.

Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agriculture science, which has been falling by the wayside in recent years. He suggested organic (有机的) farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water, as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.

【1】What is the meaning of the underlined word?

A．Confusing.

B．Surprising

C．Puzzling

D．Pleasing.

【2】According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school?

A．To educate students about the food problem.

B．To help students understand how to grow food.

C．To develop agricultural science.

D．To train more productive farmers.

【3】Which of the following may the writer DISAGREE with?

A．The public should save food and save water.

B．Organic agriculture costs a lot of resources.

C．More money should be used for agricultural science.

D．People should eat less meat but more fruit and vegetables.

【4】The text properly comes from ________.

A．a science magazine

B．a story book

C．an advertisement

D．a guidebook of travelling

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China. However，not many people 【1】 [aut’saɪd] of China know about the Grand Canal，which is known in China as Da Yunhe. It is the 【2】（long）and oldest waterway in the world. This waterway is 3，200 kilometers long 【3】 a history of more than 2，500 years.

The Grand Canal was built in 468 BC，and it has been rebuilt three 【4】 in history，which were in the Spring and Autumn Period， the Sui Dynasty（朝代） and Yuan Dynasty， In the past，the Grand Canal was used for 【5】（move）food and water from south to north. In this way，the 【6】 [′rɪtʃ] land in south of China could feed capital cities in north.

The Grand Canal is still an important part of the transportation（运输）in China today， which 【7】（connect）Hangzhou with Beijing. 【8】（thousand）of boats use it every day. Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making the waterway deeper, 【9】 bigger ships can pass through.

Running through 【10】 [eɪt] provinces in China，the Grand Canal is one example of our great works. And it will continue to link the south to north for centuries to come.
