V. 阅读理解：（AB层必做，C层选做）
Insects are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from
a
pig or cow and are low in fat. Fating insects is also yery good for the environment since they
need less land and water than larger animals5
Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce (出产)
more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food.
Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the
farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9
pounds of meat for people to eat!
Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise (饲养) and
sell
insects, which can provide jobs and food.
But insects will not replace(替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries
would have to change how they think about eating. insects. Many people in North America and
Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork (猪肉). But they do not traditionally eat insects.
In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and
dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.
Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote
a book named "The Eat-A Bug Cookbook"，which tries to show people that insects can be
delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefits (好处) of eating
insects.But they still have a lot of work to do.
( )1. Eating insects ___________.
A. is not healthy B. makes people put on fat
C. helps protect large animals D. is environmentally friendly
( )2. The example of Marcel Dicke is given to show____________.A. the high cost of food production
B. it' S quite easy for farmers to raise insects
C. raising insects is a good choice for farmers
D. the different ways of feeding cows and insects
( )3. The long way that eating insects has to go is mainly because of ____________.
A. their terrible taste B. people's family traditions
C. no good ways to cook them D. people's old opinions about them
( )4. We can infer from David and other insect experts that_______________.
A. it' s dangerous to eat insects
B. people should eat more insects
C. insects should be better protected
D. people can make a lot of money from insects
( )5. What's the best title for the passage?
A. An unusual cookbook B. A new way of growing food
C. Eating insects: save the world D. Raising insects: feed the world

Hi. everybody,
Here I will tell you about some things that have changed in my hometown .
I live in a town in the north of Hubei Province. People here used to live a hard life. Their
houses used to be old and small. Pollution used to be very serious, and there used to be rubbish
everywhere. The roads didn' t use to be convenient, so we only walked wherever we went.
Now great changes have taken place here. People live a better life. Their houses are large
and bright. It is clean everywhere. Many people have their own cars and they make their lives
more convenient.
I believe my hometown will get better and better in the future .
That’s all. Thank you!
