19. There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable(可持续的) and affordable way? A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner than you may think.
The environmental effects caused by meat consumption (食用)—waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cows—have given rise to a number of startups(新兴公司)looking to develop meats in different ways.
For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israel’s Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab.
But don’t worry if you’re not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based and replicate (复制) meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, according to a report on NoCamels. Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020.
As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new “cell-based meat” category.
Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earth’s natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the world—like those producing lab-grown meats—who are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that.
8. Why do some companies begin to develop new kinds of meats? A. To analyse the causes of air pollution.
B. To stress the importance of protecting wild animals.
C. To make people less interested in eating meat and more healthy. D. To meet people’s demand for meat in environmentally friendly ways. 9. What’s special about the lab-grown meats of Jet Eat? A. They cost less.
B. They are plant-based.
6 / 9
C. They are more delicious. D. They are available on the market now.
10. Which of the following is a barrier lab-grown meat industries must deal with? A. How to let people accept the meat. B. How to give the meat an elegant name.
C. How to produce the meat in large amounts. D. How to reduce the cost of making the meat. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards lab-grown meats? A. Supportive. B. Opposing.
C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.

8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。实验室培养的未来肉类问世，或将持续满足消费需求。 【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“The environmental effects caused by meat consumption (食用)—waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cows—have given rise to a number of startups(新兴公司)looking to develop meats in different ways.”可知，人类的肉类消费会造成环境影响，比如：畜牧业产生的各种废料，动物受到的非人道对待，健康问题，甚至是温室气体效应（该效应可能由奶牛的甲烷排放造成）；以上种种问题催生了许多初创公司以不同的方式来开发肉类以满足我们对肉类的巨大需求。所以为什么有些公司开始开发新的肉类是因为他们想以更加环保的方式满足人们对肉类的需求。故选D项。 【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based ”可知，一些初创公司，如以色列的Jet Eat，正在研究实验室中种植的食品，这些食品是植物性的。所以Jet Eat公司的种植在实验室的肉是植物性的。故选B项。 【10题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段“As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one.”可知，可想而知，这个产业面临着很多阻碍。引导公众接受这种肉就是一个巨大的挑战。所以“如何让人们接受肉”是实验室肉类产业必须处理的障碍。故选A项。 【11题详解】
7 / 9
推理判断题。由最后段“The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the world—like those producing lab-grown meats—who are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that. ”可知，好消息是，全球有很多企业家正在解决其中的一些问题，并从中赚点钱，比如那些制造实验室培养肉的企业家，而这也没什么错。所以由关键词“good new，working to solve some of these problems，Nothing wrong ”可知，作者对实验室培育的肉类持支持态度。故选A项。 【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由最后段“The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the world—like those producing lab-grown meats—who are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that. ”可知，好消息是，全球有很多企业家正在解决其中的一些问题，并从中赚点钱，比如那些制造实验室培养肉的企业家，而这也没什么错。所以由关键词“good new，working to solve some of these problems，Nothing wrong ”可知，作者对实验室培育的肉类持支持态度。故小4题选A项。
20. 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，共10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格1个单词。
It’s often said that high self-confidence is key to success. In fact, low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful, but just-low-enough confidence can help you readjust your goals so they are more realistic and attainable and have a better chance of succeeding. There are three main reasons for this:
★Lower self-confidence makes you pay attention to negative feedback and be self-critical: Most people get trapped in their optimistic biases, so they tend to ignore negative feedback. Although this may give them confidence, achievement is 10%
performance and 90% preparation. Thus, the more aware you are of your soft spots, the better prepared you will be.
★Lower self-confidence can motivate you to work harder and prepare more: In fact, low confidence is only negative when you are not serious about your goals. If you really want what you say you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it — because it will indicate a gap between your desired goal and your current state.
★Lower self-confidence reduces the chances of looking arrogant(自大的): Indeed, people with low self-confidence are more likely to admit their mistakes - instead of
8 / 9
blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society.
In brief, if you are serious about your goals, low self-confidence can be your biggest help to accomplish them. Topic Lower self-confidence is more likely to enable you to 76___. ★Lower self-confidence 78___ your attention on negative feedbacks. With more 79___ of your own 80___, you will be better prepared. ★81___ by lower self-confidence, you will work harder to achieve what you want, unless you are unserious about your goals. ★People with lower self- confidence are 82___ likely to look arrogant and 83___ others for their mistakes, which is the most 84___ part of it, for it brings success to individuals and organizations. Conclusion 参考答案：
76. succeed 77. Reasons 78focuses 79. awareness 80. weaknesses 81. Motivated 82. less 83. blame 84 beneficial 85. goals
77___ Lower self-confidence can help you accomplish your 85___.
