Ⅳ.阅读理解
3-D printers are very hot today.They are being put to all kinds of uses,ranging from creating car models for movies to architectural models.However,none of these ideas are as shocking as the one suggested by Anjan Contractor,who believes that they will be the key to ending world hunger.
According to some experts,world population will increase to 10-12 billion by the end of this century.This means that food will become very expensive and possibly,even out of reach,for billions of people.
This is where 3-D printing may save the day.Anjan thinks that the only way to solve the problem will be to equip every kitchen with a 3-D printer and print out meals from tubes of powder and oil.He believes that these meals with a shelf life of over 30 years would result in less food wastage.
Most important of all,it would be easier to make food from things that we now do not consider edible(可食用的).A great example of that is the protein from meat.Most experts believe that as the population grows,the supply is not going to be enough to feed everyone.Anjan believes that we could easily get the same protein from insects.Though all this futuristic food may sound unappealing,the scientists believe that when faced with a terrible food crisis,it will be very welcomed.
While this may sound a little difficult to believe,Anjan seems to have convinced the scientists at NASA,who are looking for a solution to feeding astronauts when they go on really long missions,like the one being planned to Mars.They gave Anjan $125,000 to start building the first real 3-D printer that creates the food.
Anjan is not the only one with this idea.A group led by Professor Hod Lipson has been experimenting with this idea since 2011 and has even succeeded in printing out cube-shaped creations from powdered milk and cookies with limited sugar!
