cteating. He has traveled the world to learn how different groups of people collect insects and prepare them as food. Insect fans say insects are not only tasty, they are also nutritious（有营养的） . Many are full of protein, vitamins and minerals. Van Huis is working with other scientists to encourage insecteating. According to the United Nations, the world’s population is now almost 7 billion. It is expected to reach 9 billion before 2050. By that time, the need for meat is expected to double. Raising animals such as cows and sheep requires large areas of farmland, and feeding the animals can be expensive. “We have to find other choicesof meat,” Van Huis says. “One good choice is eating insects.” Raising insects, which are able to live in crowded quarters, requires less land, says Van Huis. Insects are also cheaper to feed, since they can eat food scraps, such as potato skin. Not only can insects eat our scraps, but also they require much less foodand waterthan cows or sheep. “A cow wastes most of its energy just keeping warm,” Brian Fisher, an insect scientistin the . says. But since insects are coldblooded, they use more of what they eat to grow. For insecteating to bee the mainstream, Fisher says people must have a chance to sample delicious, readytoeat insects. If you want a try, it is possible to order insect dishes at a few restaurants. 53. What do you know from the first paragraph? A. Insecteating has a long history. B. People cook insects in traditional ways. C. Insecteating is unusual and unacceptable. D. People travel around the world to collect insects. 54. We can infer that ______.

What is probably the best title for this passage? A. Time to Raise Insects B. Easy Enough to Cook C. A New Choice for Meat D. A Strange Way of Eating D The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my munity（社区） . As a result, all students must plete sixty hours of service learning, or they can not finish the education in high school. Service learning is a school subject that also helps the munity. Examples of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching a student. During a service experience, students must keep a diary and then write a report about what they have learned. Supporters state that there are many benefits of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think beyond their own interests and realized the needs of others. Students are also able to learn reallife skills that include responsibility, problemsolving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can think about possible careers（职业） through service learning. For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. While there are many benefits, people who disagree with service learningpoint out problems with the new requirement. First, they hold their opinion that the main reason students go to school is to learn key subjects and skills. Because service learning takes too much time, students spend less time studying the key subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without pay goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away a person’s freedom to choose. In my opinion, service learning is a great way to contribute to the munity, learn new skills, and think about different careers. However, I don’t believe you should force people to help others —the wish to help must e from the heart. I think the best way is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of selfstudy or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to deal with both wisely. 56. Service learning is ______. A. a way to help the munity B. a must to plete the school report C. a programme to protect the environment D. an example to teacher students believe service learning is mainly for ______.

A. forcing students to work goes against the law B. students must spend more time on key subjects C. there are more disadvantages than benefits D. service learning is worthless to students 59. What’s the writer’s opinion on service learning? A. Students should be more responsible in service learning. B. Service learning is likely to be less important than selfstudy. C. Serv。
