10、s 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 con
11、sumption 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
12、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 lik
13、e animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.

He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper
18、 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 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 octo
19、pus tentacle(触手) appeared on Karlsons neck and back. A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotel room to find 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 th

25、according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) .Before this update, Africas elephants were grouped together and were 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
26、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.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of Afr
27、ican 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, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the worlds animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants
28、, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011 , illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land is c

34、s 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 researchers believe that parts of what is “arguably the lowest-lying country in the worl
35、d” 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 appropriately-named Maldives Floating City(MFC) is the brainchild of Dutch Docklands, a global
36、 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 initially consist of a thousand waterfront residences, arranged in a series of honeyc
37、omb-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 protection from high tides.Maldive officials aim to make MFC as self-supp
38、orting 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 land rehabilitation, therefore has a minimal impact on the coral reef
39、s,” 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 expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in steps over the next
40、 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 will be unsuitable for living.33. What is Paragraph
41、2 mainly about?A. The prospect of MFC.B. The developers of the plan.C. The location of the residences.D. The barriers to the construction.34. What can we infer from the underlined words?A. MFC will keep waves away.B. MFC will make use of waves.C. MFC will adjust to the waves.D. MFC will work as wate
42、r breakers.35. Whats the writing purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a construction program.B. To appeal to people to protect nature.C. To seek international help for Maldives.D. To report the achievement of a city plan第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Interested
43、in learning how to read body language? Would you like to be able to tell when people are lying and understand peoples intentions? 36 Fingers can create many gestures and are great for reading body language. A pointing finger can either be someone pointing to an item or place, it can also indicate an
44、ger. If someone is curling their fingers tightly, they are usually praying for something. 37 The faster the beating is, the greater the tension inside the person may be.38 They can tell so much information about the person if you know what you are looking for. As in most situations, the same signal
45、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. 39 When the eyebrows are raised, normally the person is shocked or surprised
46、. 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. 40 Anyway, body language is the most
47、important language you can learn.A. Listed below are some examples of the uses.B. The more you practice, the easier it will become.C. If you do, the person will become uncomfortable.D. Remember the eyes can make the wrong evaluation.E. People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul.F. Knocking
48、 or tapping with the fingers indicates nervousness.G. Body language gives you an insight into what others might be thinking.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）. 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My son, Ben, died when he was 23.

More news in an hour, this is Bob Butcher and see you later.
