四、阅读理解
A
An environmental group in Colombia is leading a project to save wild areas in the San Lucas Mountains with
the help of coffee growers.
Since 2016, San Lucas areas have been threatened by mining and coca (古柯) planting. Gold miners and
coca growers make more money than coffee farms. Now the group WebConserva helps link coffee farmers with
coffee processors from around the country in order that they can earn more. At the same time coffee farms can
serve as boarders around the forests to protect the biodiversity within.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants. WebConserva said it hopes,
in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20, 000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. The
families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals. In return, they receive $300
for 125 kilograms of coffee.
Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His coffee farm sets up a barrier between cattle farms and forests
where wild animals live, thus reducing the possibility of conflict between cattle farmers and wild animals.
“Cutting down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against my faith, and now I feel that growing
coffee lets me be a good guard of the land,” he said.
Arnobis Romero is a former coca grower and miner. “Many families depended on illegal activities to support
their children years ago. Now, we feel it a duty to look after this biodiversity and leave it for future generations,”
he said. Activists want San Luvas to be protected as a national park, but the process has been slow. Carlos
Valderrama, director of Webconserva, hopes the project can build production system that will last far into the
future. “It protects forests, biodiversity and ecosystems at the same time as improving coffee growers’ quality of
life,” he said.

Cultivated (培育) meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.
Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten
approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat
said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d
find at a beer factory.
Last week, both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat
received a“no questions”letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods
also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market.
CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and
the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable
future”.
Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without
slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight
climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The
company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC
restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore
cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.
Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a
launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the
product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in
supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.
55．What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat?
A．Higher safety for eating.B．Lower costs for restaurants.
C．Positive impacts on climate change.
D．Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.
56．What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common?
A．Both have partnerships with international chefs.
B．Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.
C．Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.
D．Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.
57．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Diners have access to free products from Upside.
B．Curious customers will become the main force of buying.
C．Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.
D．Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.
58．What is the text mainly about?
