26、The UK should start producing lab-grown meat to help solve the world’s food crisis (危机), according to a research group. A report by the Adam Smith Institute says meat made in a laboratory is better for the environment and would be cheaper than meat produced from farm animals.

Need for meat around the world is expected to increase by 70% by the year 2050. So could people be eating lab-grown meat in the future? Usually animals like cows are killed to produce the meat that people eat, but scientists have found a way to make meat in a laboratory without killing any animals.

Animals are made up of cells (细胞). Scientists worked out how to take cells from an animal, like a cow, and multiply (繁殖) them in a dish. In the end from one tiny cell, tens of billions of cells can be grown. These join together to form meat.

In 2013, the first hamburger grown this way was eaten in London. It took a year to produce and cost over £200,000 to make. Dr Mark Post, who created the world’s first hamburger from meat grown in a lab, told the BBC it “tastes exactly the same as the meat we know”. When two food critics (评论家) tried the burger in 2013, one said it was “close to meat” and another said it tasted like a real hamburger. It’s not just beef that is being created; companies are also working on other meat like turkey and chicken.

The Adam Smith Institute says moving away from the present way meat is produced would help reduce greenhouse emissions (排放) by up to 96% and free up 99% of the land used in farming worldwide. They also think it will reduce chances of food poisoning (中毒) because the meat is grown under such controlled conditions. Jamie Hollywood from the Adam Smith Institute also told the BBC lab-grown meat could be a lot cheaper. He says the price has gone down in five years from £200,000 to £8, so in the future it could be even less.

【1】The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ______.

A．what lab-grown meat is

B．how lab-grown meat is made

C．what lab-grown meat tastes like

D．when people can eat lab-grown meat

【2】The writer mentions two food critics in Paragraph 4 to show that ______.

A．lab-grown meat is cheaper

B．chicken meat can be made in the lab

C．lab-grown meat tastes similar to animal meat

D．English people first tasted lab-grown meat

【3】The writer probably agrees that ______.

A．lab-grown meat will cause a lot of problems

B．lab-grown meat tastes better than animal meat

C．making lab-grown meat will cost too much money

D．lab-grown meat can help solve the world’s food crisis

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Could lab-grown meat be the future of food?

B．What does lab-grown meat taste like?

C．When could people eat lab-grown meat?

D．What is lab-grown meat and how is it made?

28、任务型阅读

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking， Although I’m a shy man， I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：

Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience won’t， either.

Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.

Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail.

Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.
