9、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

10、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

11、 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 3 much faster than domestic animals.They also require much l

12、ess 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 li

13、ke 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 fou

16、contain various vitamins.D.Saturated fat is harmful to health.BOn March 18,34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere to swim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray(黄貂鱼)leap from the water.Realizing the creature was,in fact,an octopus(章鱼),he sta

17、rted filming itjust in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him.He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm,followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back.His goggles(护目镜)fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he

18、 struggled back toward the shore.“I was confused it was more of a shock than a fright,”said Karlson,“I might have hit on its home.”Within a minute,a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle(触手)appeared on Karlsons neck and back.A former volunteer lifeguard,Karlson rushed back to his hotel room to find

19、 something acidic to put on the wound.All his family could grab was Coca-Cola,which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared.“The pain went away and more than anything since then,its been more the physical hit that was painful.The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit,and I

20、guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took.”he said.Karlson said hed never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher after the incident to learn more about the species.“They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more i

24、 CreatureCPoaching(偷猎)and habitat loss have threatened Africas two species of elephants,taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance,according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).Before this update,Africas elephants were grouped together and we

25、re evaluated as vulnerable(易受伤害的)by the IUCN.This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately.In the past,elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants.Forest and savanna elephants(稀树草原象)were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.

26、The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered.The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86%over a 31-year assessment period.The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60%over the last 50 years,acc

27、ording to the IUCN,which tracks the assessment risk of the worlds animals.Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants,counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching.Although it peaked in 2011,illegal hunting still happ

29、n-wildlife relationships,have helped conservation efforts.Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing,particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conser

33、opeless.B.Optimistic.C.Uncertain.D.Worried.DThe annual 3-to-4-millimeter rise in sea levels is expected to impact many coastal communities in the coming decades.However,few are as defenceless as the Republic of the Maldives,a collection of more than a thousand scenic islands in the Indian Ocean.NASA

34、 researchers believe that parts of what is“arguably the lowest-lying country in the world”will become uninhabitable by 2050,due to wave-driven flooding and limited freshwater.To fight the unavoidable,the government recently revealed plans for the worlds first true floating island city.The appropriat

35、ely-named Maldives Floating City(MFC)is the brainchild of Dutch Docklands,a global leader in floating construction.According to the March 13 2021 announcement,the new city will be constructed on a 200-hectare lagoon(环礁湖)located just 10 minutes by boat from the Maldivian capital,Male.It will initiall

36、y consist of a thousand waterfront residences,arranged in a series of honeycomb-like rows.The developers plan to add hotels,restaurants,shops,and even a school and a hospital in the near future.The floating structures will be attached to the surrounding islands,which will form a base and provide pro

37、tection from high tides.Maldive officials aim to make MFC as self-supporting as possible.Freshwater storage will provide drinking water for residents,while floating solar blankets and agriculture fields will take care of their energy and food needs.“This Maldives Floating City does not require any l

38、and rehabilitation,therefore has a minimal impact on the coral reefs,”explains Mohamed Nasheed,Speaker of Parliament.“Whats more,giant,new reefs will be grown to act as water breakers.In the Maldives,we cannot stop the waves,but we can rise with them.”Construction of the revolutionary city is expect

39、ed to begin in 2022 and be completed in steps over the next five years.If successful,it will provide a blueprint for other countries facing a similar situation.32.Why does Maldives decide to build MFC?A.It is the lowest-lying country.B.It will be flooded soon.C.It is running out of fresh water.D.It

44、 most situations,the same signal can be interpreted in a different way.It depends entirely on the circumstances at hand.Open eyes may mean the person is interested in the topic and it can also mean that the person is confused.The eyebrows have many uses.39When the eyebrows are raised,normally the pe

45、rson is shocked or surprised.The greater the surprise,the more raised they will be.When someone moves their eyebrow up and down quickly,they are greeting someone else or are showing they have acknowledged them.Remember reading body language is not a skill that can be learned overnight.40Anyway,body
