阅读理解

    On one evening 30 years from now, you might sit down to a table and get ready to have your dinner. What will you be eating? Will the food still be the same as it is now? Here are a few possible choices for the future.

Insects

    Insects take up little space and don't make much waste. They also have more protein than beef, chicken and pork. This makes insects another possible food of the future. Most people probably won't want to see the insects they eat. So in the future, people will first turn insects into powder to make with other foods like chips and biscuits.

Vegetable meat

    A new kind of burger(汉堡包)is now popular in the United States. It looks and tastes the same as any other burgers. But it's actually a "beef" burger made out of plants. People use peas and potatoes to make the "beef". They take coloring, protein and fats from these plants and mix them together.

Algae(藻类)

    It is said that algae farming could become the world's biggest farming in the future. Algae is cheap and grows, very quickly. Also, it is very good for people. It has much more protein and oil than many other plants. People may also use algae oil and algae butter in the future. Some algae has a strong taste.

Manmade meat

    Meat grown in labs might be another kind of future food. People use stem cells(干细胞) from animals to grow the meat. Chicken, beef, and pork can all be made this way. Manmade meat can be healthier than traditional meat. People can control what type of fat goes into the meat. They can choose only healthy fats.

(1)、What is the passage mainly about?
A、How to make food with insects 30 years later. B、Why algae become the world's biggest farming. C、Why people enjoy manmade meat after 30 years. D、What food are people going to have in the future.
(2)、Why will insects be made into chips and biscuits?
A、They will take up little space. B、They will have more protein. C、They will look more pleasant. D、They will have ugly looks.
(3)、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A、A new kind of burger will look and taste the same as any other burgers. B、The burger will be a "beef" burger made out of peas and potatoes. C、Algae has far more protein and oil than many other animals. D、Algae farming could become the world's biggest farming in the future.
(4)、Why will manmade meat be healthier than traditional meat?
A、Because it will be developed in the laboratories. B、Because it will be taken from animal stem cells. C、Because it will be made according to people's need. D、Because it can be made into chicken, beef and pork.

There are many reasons to enjoy drinking tea. However, you should let the hot tea cool down a little before you drink it. Why?A new study in the International Journal of Cancer gives the answer.

"Many people enjoy drinking tea, coffee or other hot drinks. However, according to our report, drinking very hot tea can increase the risk (风险) of esophageal cancer (患食道癌), so you'd better wait until hot drinks cool down before drinking," the lead writer of the study, Dr. Farhad Islami of the American Cancer Society, said.

For the study Islami and his team followed more than 50,000 people aged between 40 and 75 years old. They found 317 of those people had esophageal cancer. The National Cancer Institute reported that about 17,290 Americans had esophageal cancer in a year and that only about 19% of sick people survived. However, five years later, they died. 

The scientists found that drinking 700ml drinks (about three cups) every day or more at a higher temperature (温度)(60℃or hotter) would have a 90% higher risk of having esophageal cancer, compared (比较) with people drinking the same quantity at a temperature below 60℃.

This is not the first report showing a person drinking very hot drinks has the risk of cancer. In 2020, the World Health Organization showed a report. It found that drinking very hot drinks of any kind could increase the risk of cancer.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Have you ever played with another dog around your dog or played with a different dog when you're taking a walk? Many dogs don't like it when they're not the center of their owners' attention. Whether it's a new baby or the cute little dog next door, there's a good point that your dog doesn't want to share your love with anyone else. Some people may think that jealousy is a human-only feeling. But it's not true.

A few years ago, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that dogs showed jealous actions when their owners showed love toward another dog.

For the study, researchers watched videos of interactions (互动) between 36 dogs and their owners in their homes. Researchers had the owners pay no attention to their dogs but play with a robotic dog, which was treated as a real dog. Owners talked to it sweetly and shared everything with it.

About 60% of the dogs were likely to touch or push their owners when they were interacting with the robotic dog. About one-third of the dogs tried to get between the owner and the robotic dog and some even barked at "the other dog".

"Our study suggests that dogs not only show jealous actions but also try to break up the relationship between the owner and a seeming competitor," said Professor Christine Harris, one of the researchers.

Therefore, your dog might act differently when he's trying to get your attention and maybe experiencing feelings of jealousy. For example, he may draw your attention by licking (舔) you, or he may suddenly run into the bathroom to get attention or even to show displeasure. So if you have more than one pet, be sure to give them the same attention so that any of them will, not feel forgotten.
