A Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed, aiming to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.
Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata, an air and travel services provider, to change organic waste at Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use, according to a statement Tuesday.
The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed. The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.
These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.
The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.
As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.
4. What is the function of mealworms?
A. To cut the use of imported fish feed.
B. To eat food waste and make fish feed.
C. To domestically produce animal feed.
D. To replace traditional fish and soybean meal.
5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The producers of the feed.
B. The purpose of the project
C. The advantages of the project.
D. The composition of the feed.
6. What can we infer about Singapore from Paragraph 5?
A. It is a rich country.
B. It is short of self-produced food.
C. Its recycling rate is very high now.
D. Its farmers don't support the deal.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new way to produce fish feed.
B.An introduction to a company.
C. A plan to reduce food waste.
D. A deal to protect farmers.
C
Concrete is the world's most consumed material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity—turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the breeze dies down or darkness falls.
Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does. But one team now reports in Buildings that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 900 percent increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts.
A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, "you can make a battery out of a potato," notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.
Although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts, it still has a long way to go: 200 square meters of it "can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption" of a typical U.S. home, Zhang says.
This is not enough to compete with today's rechargeable devices. "We're getting milliamps (毫安) out of concrete batteries—we're not getting amps (安培), "Byrne says." We're getting hours as opposed to days of charge." But she adds that" concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs." The earliest batteries were simple andbulky. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today's small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. "The whole idea is that we're looking far into the future," she says. "We're playing the long game with it."
8. What can we learn about the concrete batteries?
A. They become increasingly renewable.
B. They are the most consumed batteries.
C. They are being developed by researchers.
D. They will replace energy from the wind and sun.
9. Why does Byrne mention a battery out of a potato?
A. To show it is easy to build concrete batteries.
B. To argue it is possible to develop concrete batteries.
C. To make her statement more interesting.
D. To call on people to protect the environment.
10. What does the underlined word "bulky" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Heavy
B. Cheap
C. Efficient
D. Small.
11. What doesByrne think of concrete batteries?
A. They beat today's rechargeable devices.
B. They are simple and bulky.
C. They have a doubtful future.
D. They have a long way to go.
D
Many teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.
On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.
No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.
Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.
As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.
12. What is the text mainly about?
A. What causes teens’ nervousness.
B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.
C. What a view of life means to people.
D. How to treat social media appropriately.
13. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Wonderful.
B. Encouraging.
C. Anxious.
D. Doubtful.
14. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To draw teachers’ attention.
B. To show teachers’ mental problems.
C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.
D. To show adults have more problems than teens.
15. What should parents do to help their children out?
A. Try to meet their expectations.
B. Help them with their homework.
C. Give them more free time to play sports.
D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Tess was a five-year-old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they didn't have money for the doctor's bills. Only a very costly operation could save him. She heard Daddy say to Mommy sadly, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled out her piggy bank. She poured all the change out and counted it carefully. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back, she secretly went out the back door and ran to the drugstore in a comer.
She waited patiently for the chemist to give her some attention but he was too busy. So she took a quarter from her piggy bank and hit it hard on the counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an angry voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages."
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother. He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle.” Tess replied.
“I beg your pardon?” said the chemist.
“My brother has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”
The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He came over and asked Tess, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don't know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he's really sick and needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the well-dressed man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered in a low voice.
