题目内容
19.Insects(昆虫) 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.Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke,who studies insects,explained in a talk how insects also produce 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 1pound of meat for people to eat.However,imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10pounds 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 and sell insects,which can provide jobs and food.
But insects will not replace 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.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 of eating insects.But they will still have a lot work to do.
25.The long way eating insects has to go mainly results fromB.
A.their terrible taste
B.people's old beliefs
C.family traditions
D.eating methods
26.We can infer from David and other insect experts believe thatA.

D.it's dangerous to eat insects
27.Eating insectsD.

C.helps protect large nimals
D.is environmentally friendly
28.The example of Marcel Dicke is given to showD.
A.the high cost of food production

C.the different ways of feeding cows and insects
D.raising insects is a good choice for farmers.
分析 昆虫是一种非常健康的食物,它们的蛋白质几乎和猪或牛的肉一样多,而且脂肪含量低,吃昆虫对环境也很好因为它们需要的土地和水比更大的动物少
研究昆虫的马塞尔•迪克 在一场演讲中解释了昆虫如何从他们吃的食物中产生更多的肉.例如,假设一个农民喂一头牛10磅的食物.那10磅的食物会产生大约1磅的肉供人们食用.然而,假设一个农夫给了一定数量的昆虫10磅的食物.那10磅的食物会提供了9磅的肉供人们食用!
吃更多的昆虫也能帮助穷人,许多人可以饲养和出售昆虫,这可以提供工作和食物.
但是昆虫不会很快取代动物肉.首先,一些国家的人们不得不改变他们对吃昆虫的看法.北美和欧洲的很多人吃了很多像牛肉和猪肉这样的肉.但是他们通常不吃昆虫.事实上,对许多西方人来说,吃昆虫听起来很疯狂.他们相信昆虫是肮脏和危险的.昆虫使他们感到不舒服.
有些人想要解决这个问题,比如,大卫•乔治•戈登写了一本书叫《虫虫烹饪书》试图向人们展示昆虫的美味,其他昆虫专家到处告诉人们吃昆虫的好处,但他们仍有很多工作要做.
