So called “never-marrieds” are one of the fastest-growing groups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult population are singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle(通道) has more than doubled, as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men.
Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles “People are being more demanding. It’s a soul mate(配偶) or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar to that,” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.
A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the age of 20 and 29 agreed to the statement: “When you marry, you want your partner to be your soul mate, first and foremost(最重要的).”
In addition to that, modern women are able to support themselves, and do not need men for their money, Berman said. Some are buying homes for themselves. “They need a man for improving their lives, but not for creating them.” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group. Attractive and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry, and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal(内部的) pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do,” Thomas says. “I don’t think it’s just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist(后女权主义) generation we all feel like we can have it all.”
Singles often depend on a “family” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each other’s apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance(自由职业) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.
He has maned these groups “urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the subject. But only the name is new.
The comfort of these “urban tribes” may delay marriage, but they don’t rule marriage out. Indeed, there may be some good news for those who wait, Watters says. As the average age of marriage has risen, statistics say that divorce rates have leveled off. Could the urban tribes be on to something
4. As is given in this passage, why are there more and more ‘never-marrieds” in America
A. More and more young Americans enjoy single life.
B. More Americans are afraid of marriage failure.
C. American government supports its people to live a single life.
D. Young Americans have higher expectations of marriage.
5. According to Laura Berman, the aim of modern American women to marry is to ________.
A. have a soul mate to deal with their trouble
B. find a man to provide houses and fortune for them
C. find a man to make their lives better
D. have a soul mate to create better lives for them
6. It can be inferred from the passage that when American singles have something in trouble, they often ________.
A. go back to their parents for help
B. go to travel to escape the trouble
C. go to their friends for help
D. have the expectation of finding a soul mate
7. The author’s attitude towards marriage in American is ________.
A. concerned
B. objective
C approved
D. pessimistic
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B

There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable 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 — 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.
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. Which of the following is not the environmental effects caused by meat consumption
A. The loss of natural resources.
B. Animal treatment
C. Health problems
D. The greenhouse gas
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了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。根据文章第二段“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.(肉类消费对环境造成的影响——浪费、动物处理、健康问题,甚至牛产生的甲烷气体可能导致的温室气体效应——已经促使许多初创企业寻求以不同方式发展肉类)”和最后一段“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.(随着全球人口的增加和地球自然资源的减少,我们许多人都对子孙后代面临的挑战感到担忧。好消息是,世界上有许多商人——比如那些生产实验室培育的肉类的商人——正在努力解决其中一些问题,并在这个过程中赚点钱)”可知,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。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“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 meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, (不过,如果你不是肉食爱好者,也不用担心。jeteat等初创公司正在研究实验室培育的食品,这些食品以植物为基础,使用自然元素复制肉类,同时保持味道、一致性和“整体感官体验”)”可知, Jet Eat公司的种植在实验室的肉是植物性的。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one.(你可以想象,这个行业面临着许多障碍。教育公众是一个大问题)”可知,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这种肉是实验室肉类产业必须处理的障碍。故选A。

If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.
Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020. According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.
“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for Cultural Innovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars.(约62%的受访者表示,他们愿意乘坐无人驾驶汽车)”可知,从625份调查问卷的回答来看,超过一半的受访者愿意乘坐无人驾驶汽车。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.(如果发生事故造成人身伤害或财产损失,80.5%的受访者认为人工智能产品的设计者应承担法律责任,55.5%的受访者认为车辆使用者也应承担责任)”可推知,如果无人驾驶汽车发生事故,谁应该承担责任还没有决定。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.(根据国家发展和改革委员会今年1月发布的蓝图,中国的目标是到2035年成为智能汽车研发和生产的全球大国)”可知,上文提到的是智能汽车,即无人驾驶汽车,按照常理推断无人驾驶汽车应是部分或者完全自动的。由此推知,划线词autonomous指“自动的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.(应该加强政策,以确保伦理和科学的平衡发展,特别是对一些快速增长的应用,如无人驾驶汽车)”可推知,孙绍静认为随着应用的快速增长,需要有效的政策和规则。故选B。
【点睛】推理判断题的解题策略:根据事实细节,推断合理信息。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可是某几句话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理,也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说,要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意,切忌片面思考,得出片面结论。例如第4小题:本题属于推理判断题。根据最后一段“Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.(应该加强政策,以确保伦理和科学的平衡发展,特别是对一些快速增长的应用,如无人驾驶汽车)”可推知,孙绍静认为随着应用的快速增长,需要有效的政策和规则。故选B。

【答案】41. an 42. fifth
43. has risen
44. carried
45. to 46. choosing
47. their 48. characters
49. who 50. globally
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。俄罗斯的大学入学考试将把普通话作为选修外语。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。language指的是“(某国)语言”时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且elective的首字母的发音为元音因素,所以用冠词an来修饰。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查序数词。the+序数词表示“第......”。本句表示第五,所以应用序数词fifth。故填fifth。
【43题详解】
考查现在完成时。由“in the past decade”可知,本句为现在完成时,主语为The number of Chinese learners,谓语为has risen。故填has risen 。
【44题详解】
考查过去分词。分析句子可知, survey 与carry out在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填carried 。
【45题详解】
考查介词。approach to “......的方法”为固定短语。故填to。
【46题详解】
考查现在分词。分析句子可知,本句为with的复合结构作状语,people与choose在逻辑上是主动关系,所以应用现在分词。故填choosing 。
【47题详解】
考查代词。their为形容词性物主代词,修饰名词。故填their 。
【48题详解】
考查名词复数。character为可数名词,中国的汉字不止一个,所以应用character的复数。故填characters。
【49题详解】
考查关系代词。分析句子可知,those为先行词,在后面的定语从句中作主语,所以关系代词为who。故填who。
【50题详解】
考查副词。globally为副词修饰动词use。故填globally。
【点睛】with复合结构构成方式如下:
1. with或without-名词/代词+形容词
2. with或without-名词/代词+副词
3. with或without-名词/代词+介词短语
4. with或without-名词/代词 +动词不定式
5. with或without-名词/代词 +分词
分析小题6的句子可知,本句为with的符合结构作状语,people与choose在逻辑上是主动关系,所以应用现在分词。故填choosing 。
第三部分 基础知识(共20词,每空0.5分)
51. If you have an ________(紧急情况) like this, you should call us. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】emergency
【解析】

52. The conflict, if not properly managed, can cause some serious________(灾难) in daily life settings. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】disasters
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:如果管理不当,冲突可能会在日常生活中造成一些严重的灾难。根据句意及汉语提示可知,此处使用名词disaster,可数名词,由空前some可知,应用复数形式。故填disasters。
53. He gives you his full attention________(一.......就.....) you begin to speak. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】instantly##directly##immediately
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:你一开始说话,他就全神贯注地听你说话。 一.......就.....,英文表达为instantly;directly;immediately。在此处是连词,没有形式的变化,故答案为instantly;directly;immediately。
54. Some parents want to ________(庇护) their kids from every kind of danger,real or imagined. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】shelter##protect
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:一些父母想要庇护他们的孩子们免受每一种危险,真实的或是想象的。want to do sth.表示“想要做某事”,空处应用动词原形形式,shelter/protect sb. from sth.表示“保护/庇护某人免受......”。故填shelter/protect。
55. Time ________(permit), I may go hiking with my friends. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】permitting
【解析】
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意:如果时间允许,我可能会和朋友去远足。分析句子结构可知,主句是“I may go hiking with my friends.”,前半句是独立主格结构,time(时间)与permit(允许)二者构成主动关系,所以permit应用现在分词形式,time permitting表示“如果时间允许”,故填permitting。
56. In the future, pay increases will ________(和....有联系)productivity. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】be related to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意:未来,工资增长将与生产率相关。结合汉语提示可知填入be related to,在情态动词will之后用动词原形。故填be related to。
57. Honestly speaking, I admire your ________(distinguish) achievements. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】distinguished
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:老实说,我很羡慕你卓越的成就。根据句意和提示词可知空格处应该使用形容词形式distinguished(卓越的、值得尊敬的)做定语修饰名词achievements(成就)。故填distinguished。
58. Anna stressed to the media that she would not arrive at any ________(结论)at present. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】conclusion
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:Anna向媒体强调,她目前不会得出任何结论。根据汉语提示和空前的any可知,空处用名词conclusion,表示“结论”,作宾语,且根据句意可知,此处any表示“任何一个”,所以conclusion应用单数形式,arrive at a conclusion是固定搭配,表示“得出结论”,故填conclusion。
59. With three reports________(finish), I am afraid I will not be able to go to the concert this Sunday. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to finish
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:还有三个项目要完成,我担心这周日我不能去音乐会了。空处是with复合结构中的宾语补足语,根据句意,“完成”这一动作还没发生,需要使用不定式形式,宾语补足语和宾语three reports在逻辑上存在动宾关系,应用不定式主动形式表示被动意义。故填to finish。
60. I ________(telephone) Jane when someone knocked at the door. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was telephoning
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。句意:我正在给Jane打电话这时突然有人敲门。sb. be doing sth. when ...表示“某人正在做某事,这时突然…… ”,从句使用一般过去时,主句使用过去进行时was/were doing,且主句主语是I,所以系动词使用was。故填was telephoning。
61. The meaning of fall is different. I encourage you to discover ________fall means to you. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:秋天的意义是不同的。我鼓励你去发现秋天对你的意义。discover之后是一个宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,空处需要填写连词,表示“什么”。故填what。

【答案】essential
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:这些申请表应尽快寄回是很极其重要的。根据汉语提示及句意可知,此处使用形容词essential,作表语。故填essential。
63. We can not leave. We still have some problems ________(work) out. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to work
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我们不能离开。我们仍然有一些问题要解决。have sth. to do表示“有某事要做”,根据句意,我们仍然有一些问题要解决,空处需要填写不定式形式作定语,修饰some problems。故填to work。
64. There is evidence________(suggest) that the trend is growing. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】suggesting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:有证据表明这个趋势仍在增长。分析句子可知,There be 结构中is 为主句的谓语动词,那么suggest即为修饰名词evidence的定语,二者构成主动关系,应用现在分词。故填suggesting。
65. My washing machine__________(repair) this week, so I have to wash my clothes by hand.(用单词的适当形式完成句子)
【答案】is being repaired
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态及语态。句意:本周我洗衣机正在维修中,因此我不得不用手洗我的衣服。根据后文 I have to wash my clothes by hand可知,这里表示“洗衣机正在维修中”,故用现在进行时,且主语My washing machine与repair为被动关系,需用现在进行时的被动语态。主语为单数名词,故谓语动词用单数。故填is being repaired。
66. ______ was often the case, she forgot to bring her homework. (用适当的单词填空)
【答案】As
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:她忘了带作业,这是常有的事。分析句子结构可知,空格处位于句首引导非限制性定语从句,指代后面的事情“她忘了带作业”,which不能在句首引导非限制性定语从句,而此时as是可以的,可以把as引导的非限制性定语从句的这个结构“as is/was often the case(这是常有的事)”看成是一个固定表达。故填As。
67. In his introduction, he made ________ clear that our credits would be hard to earn. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意:在他的介绍中,他明确表示我们的学分是不容易获得的。分析句子结构可知,空出所填单词作形式宾语,代替真正的宾语that our credits would be hard to earn,clear为宾语补足语,空处应用it作形式宾语。故填it。
68. It was the language ________ helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas and made sense of the world. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。句意:正是这种语言塑造了我看待事物、表达思想和理解世界的方式。强调句的基本句型是:it is/was+被强调部分+that+句子其他成分,此处强调主语the language,需填that。故填that。
69. The students said that they ________(visit) the nursing home the next weekend. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】would visit##were going to visit##were to visit
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:学生们说他们将在下个周末去参观养老院。句中said使用过去式形式,表示句子使用一般过去时,that引导宾语从句,作said的宾语。从句中缺少谓语动词,时间状语the next weekend,表示“下个周末”,是将来的时间。表示过去某个时候看来即将发生的动作,从句应用过去将来时,且从句主语they是复数形式,系动词需要使用were。故填would visit或were going to visit或were to visit。
70. Until now, almost 2000 dollars ________(raise) from all walks of life. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been raised
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:直到现在,已经从各行各业筹集了近2000美元。句中出现until now,表示“直到现在”,且动词raise与主语almost 2000 dollars之间是被动关系,所以空处需要使用现在完成时的被动语态have/has been done。金钱、重量、长度作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。故填has been raised。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一封书信。作者在信中表达了自己申请学生志愿者职位的愿望以及自己申请这个职位的优势。
【详解】第一处:考查介词。句意:我写这封信是为了申请学生志愿者的职位。apply for申请。故把to 改为for。
第二处:考查状语从句。句意:我真的很想获得这个宝贵的机会,因为通过提供服务,我能够提高我的组织能力和我在公共场合说英语的信心。表示原因既可用由because引导的状语从句,也可用because of +名词短语或代词。分析句子结构可知,后为从句,所以用连词because。故删除of。
第三处:考查非谓语动词。句意:我能够提高我的组织能力和我在公共场合说英语的信心。in是介词,后面接名词形式。故把 speak改为speaking 。
第四处:考查冠词。句意:作为一名外向的女孩,我和同学们相处得很好。根据上下文可知作者在自我介绍,作为一名外向的女孩,泛指,outgoing发音以元音音素开头,所以用冠词an。故把 the 改为an。
第五处:考查副词。句意:此外,我的英语很好,我现在是英语老师的助手。根据语境可知,此处是一种递进关系。besides意为“此外”,表递进关系,而beside为介词“在……旁边”。故把Beside改为Besides。
第六处:考查时态。句意:此外,我的英语很好,我现在是我的英语老师的助手。根据全文时态和now可知用一般现在时,故把was 改为am 。

第九处:考查代词。句意:我相信我决不辜负你的期望。根据语境可知,这里指作者本人,所以用第一人称。故把you 改为I 。
第十处:考查代词。句意:如果你能考虑我,我将不胜感激。“I would appreciate it if... ”为固定句式,意为“如果……我将不胜感激”,句中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语为if引导的条件状语从句。故在appreciate 后加it 。

So called “never-marrieds” are one of the fastest-growing groups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult population are singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle(通道) has more than doubled, as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men.
Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles “People are being more demanding. It’s a soul mate(配偶) or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar to that,” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.
A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the age of 20 and 29 agreed to the statement: “When you marry, you want your partner to be your soul mate, first and foremost(最重要的).”
In addition to that, modern women are able to support themselves, and do not need men for their money, Berman said. Some are buying homes for themselves. “They need a man for improving their lives, but not for creating them.” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group. Attractive and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry, and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal(内部的) pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do,” Thomas says. “I don’t think it’s just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist(后女权主义) generation we all feel like we can have it all.”
Singles often depend on a “family” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each other’s apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance(自由职业) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.
He has maned these groups “urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the subject. But only the name is new.

There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable 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 — 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.
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. Which of the following is not the environmental effects caused by meat consumption
A. The loss of natural resources.
B. Animal treatment
C. Health problems
D. The greenhouse gas
