Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 1 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 2 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats. Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 3 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 4 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish. The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 5 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 6 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now.

Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words! Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 85 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 86 whether the command is from their own farmer. Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 87 the sound of a human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make. So, each group of orcas 88 from other groups. Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even understand the word none or zero.

Since he was nine, Richard has had the job of looking after his family’s cows, goats and sheep. The big 2 has been the lions. “I grew up hating lions” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cattle when we were sleeping.” Then one night, as he was walking around with a torch, he noticed something. “I discovered that the lions were 3 of the moving light.” Lions are naturally afraid of people. Richard realized that the lions connected the moving torchlight with people, so they 4 . Using some bulbs and wires, Richard set up a series of flashing lights to give the 5 that people were walking around the land where the animals were kept. The lions didn’t come near. Soon other families were using his “lion lights”. Richard’s lion lights cost just ten dollars to make. They have not only helped the farmers but also the lions. Many lions have been killed by farmers trying to protect their animals. Now, across Kenya, Richard’s idea has been 6 by farmers to protect their animals from predators (捕食性动物) and to protect their crops from elephants.

Many of us do, but overfishing is a problem. There are many ways to respond to this. One is to only eat seafood that is caught through scientific fishing methods. Another is not to eat fish at all. However, a new 1 is 3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat. It sounds like 2 , but it’s happening now. “The product tastes, and melts in your mouth exactly like fish should,” says Mihir Pershad, the CEO of Umami Meats. Umami Meats, a Singapore company, cultivates stem cells (干细胞) taken from live fish. Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and 3 muscle and fat samples (样本) after another week. The second company, Steakholder Foods, uses the muscle and fat samples in high-tech 3D printers. They are able to 4 the shape and size of the piece of “fish” first, and then mix muscles and fat together. This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish. The ability to create 3D-printed fish is an incredible technological achievement. Umami Meats focuses on helping protect some endangered fish like tuna, reducing the need for overfishing. 3D-printed fish is 5 of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood. It can also be produced quite cheaply compared to live fish. However, a lot of research on the 6 of eating 3D-printed food needs to be done. This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now. The earliest we will see them is likely some time in 2024. 1．A．example B．choice C．decision D．message 2．A．food reports B．dinner menus C．science fiction D．movie reviews 3．A．turned into B．poured into C．looked into D．broken into 4．A．receive B．obey C．explain D．design 5．A．full B．free C．tired D．short 6．A．process B．importance C．safety D．cost 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了有公司创造出了第一条3D打印鱼。 1．句意：然而，一种新的选择是3D打印的鱼，它可能提供一种解决问题的新方法，也许吃起来更健康。 example例子；choice选择；decision决定；message信息。根据“There are many ways to respond to this”和“However, a new...is 3D-printed fish”可知，此处表示一种新的方法，即新的选择。故选B。 2．句意：这听起来像科幻小说，但它正在发生。 food reports食物报告；dinner menus晚餐菜单；science fiction科幻小说；movie reviews电影影评。结合语境和“but it’s happening now”可知，3D打印鱼听起来像是科幻小说，但它的确正在发生，but前后为转折关系。故选C。 3．句意：干细胞在实验室中培养两周，再培养一周后转化为肌肉和脂肪样本。 turned into变成；poured into倒入；looked into调查；broken into闯入。根据“Stem cells are grown in labs for 2 weeks and...muscle and fat samples (样本)”可知，细胞培养一段时间之后应该是会变成肌肉和脂肪。故选A。 4．句意：他们能够首先设计出“鱼”的形状和大小，然后将肌肉和脂肪混合在一起。 receive收到；obey遵守；explain解释；design设计。根据“They are able to...the shape and size of the piece of ‘fish’ first...This makes the final product nearly the same as real fish”可知，是先设计出“鱼”的形状和大小。故选D。 5．句意：3D打印的鱼没有很多海产品中常见的有害化学物质。 full充满；free不含……的；tired劳累的；short短缺的。根据“...3D-printed fish, which may offer a new way to solve the problem and perhaps be healthier to eat”和“3D-printed fish is...of harmful chemicals that are common in a lot of seafood”可知，3D打印的鱼可能吃起来更健康，故应该是没有很多海产品中常见的有害化学物质，be free of“没有”。故选B。 6．句意：然而，关于食用3D打印食品的安全性还需要进行大量的研究。 process步骤，程序；importance重要性；safety安全；cost花费，成本。根据“This is why restaurants aren’t allowed to serve these products now”可知，餐馆现在还不允许供应这些产品，故可推测出，食用3D打印食品的安全性还需要进行大量的研究。故选C。 （23-24九年级上·上海杨浦·期末） Intelligent animalsScientists used to believe that animals could not think, but now we know that animals can understand information and use it. 84 , if we repeat words such as Down or Sit to dogs, they’ll begin to understand them and follow the instruction. Some kinds of dogs can understand more than one hundred words! Some dogs have jobs. Working dogs are 85 good at learning words because they have to listen carefully to instructions. Border collies, a kind of dog, are often used to move sheep. Farmers use special words to tell the dogs what to do. They say Find when they want the dog to go and look for the sheep, and then Walk when they want the dog to move towards the sheep. The dogs also need to understand the word Stop. They can also understand if they have done a job well and 86 whether the command is from their own farmer. Dogs are not the only creatures that can learn words. An orca (killer whale) called Wilkie has been taught to repeat the words Hello and Bye-bye and can count to three. She produces the sounds by pushing air through her blowhole, but amazingly, she can 87 the sound of a human voice. If she listens to children, she sounds like a child when she repeats the words. In the wild, orcas live in groups and the young orcas make the similar sounds to the sounds the adult orcas make. So, each group of orcas 88 from other groups. Parrots are famous for repeating words, and an African Grey parrot called Alex could understand the English words for one hundred and fifty different things—like water, banana and grape. He knew some colours and shapes, and he could count various items. He could even understand the word none or zero. People once thought it was 89   to say someone had a brain like a bird, but now it seems birds and other animals are smarter than we thought.
