Greenhouse gas emissions from the way humans produce and consume food could add nearly 1 degree of warming to the Earth's climate by 2100,according to a new study.
Continuing the dietary patterns of today will push the planet past the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit of warming sought under the Paris climate agreement to avoid the worst effects of climate change,according to the study published Monday in Nature Climate Change.
The study found that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from three major sources: meat from animals like cows and sheep,dairy and rice. Those three sources account for at least 19 percent each of food's contribution to a warming planet,according to the study, with meat contributing the most,at 33 percent.
All emit(散发) large amounts of methane (甲烷),a potent(强有力的) greenhouse gas with more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide,in the way they are currently farmed. The researchers calculated that methane will account for 75 percent of food's share of warming by 2030,with carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide accounting for most of the rest.
The study's' lead author,Catherine C, Ivanovich,a climate scientist at Columbia University and colleagues calculated the three major gases produced by each type of food over its lifetime based on current consumption patterns. They scaled the annual emissions over time by gas based on five different population projections. And then they used a climate model frequently used by the United Nations’ panel on climate change to simulate the effects of those emissions on surface air temperature change.
The study also offered some ways to change global food production and consumption that could limit warming.
“But reducing methane may be the most important goal of all. Although methane is far more potent than carbon,it is also much shorter-lived—meaning cuts in methane emissions can have a quick benefit,” Ivanovich said.
28. What can we learn about the study?
A. Meat from some raised animals emits quantities of methane.
B. Current dietary patterns have no impact on the climate change.
C. Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are very common in our daily life.
D. Only methane should be blamed for its contribution to global warming.
29. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By asking questions.
B. By analyzing causes.
C. By giving reasons.
D. By listing statistics.
30, What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Who initiated the study.
B. How the study was conducted.
C. Why the study was designed.
D. Where the study was carried out,
31. Where is the passage probably from?
A. A desk diary.
B. A travel website.
C. A science magazine.
D. An academic paper.

Next time you're having trouble solving a tricky puzzle, consider asking a nearby bumblebee.
A new study in the journal PLOS Biology finds that these humble insects can actually learn to solve puzzles from one another, suggesting that even some invertebrates (无脊椎动物) like these social insects have a capacity for what we humans call "culture.”
“These creatures are really quite incredible. They're really good at learning despite having these tiny. brains," says Alice Bridges, a behavioral ecologist at Anglia Ruskin University in England.
“In the past couple of decades, a growing body of evidence has shown that animals like chimps and birds show evidence of culture, by which we really mean just that animals learn from each other." says Andy Whiten, a cognitive ethologist (认知动物行为学家) who studies wild- animal minds at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
"Nobody's really thought to look at it in invertebrates before," says Bridges. She set out to prove them wrong. " Basically, 1 built it out of Petri dishes," she says. The base of the Petri dish held the reward; a drop of super sweet sugar water. Bridges cut a small hole in the lid "to form a rotating (旋转) top that can be spun by pushing either on this red tab clockwise (顺时针) or the blue tab anti clockwise.”
She trained some bees to head-butt the red tab to get the sugar water and trained others to push the blue tab. Then, Bridges placed these tutor bees inside different colonies. along with the puzzle boxes.
The experiment showed that in colonies where the tutor bee had originally learned to push the red tab, the other bees in the colony usually pushed the red tab. In colonies where the tutor bee was trained to push the blue tab, their fellow bees tended to do the same.
"We found that the behaviors spread among the colonies," she says, "They copied the behavior of demonstrators even when occasionally they discovered that they could do the alternative.
32. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To make a prediction.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give an example.
D. To provide background information.
33. What can we learn from Bridges’ words?
A. Different colonies like different colors.
B. Culture is made up of multiple traditions.
C. Bumblebees are too humble to learn something new.
D. No previous studies focus on the culture in invertebrates.
34. What does the underlined word "demonstrators" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Tutor bees.
B. Puzzle boxes.
C. Different colonies.
D. Chimps and birds.
35. Which can be the best tile for the text?
A. Invertebrates Are the Smartest in the World
B. A Behavioral Ecologist Has Made a Successful Experiment
C. Animals like Bumblebees Can Transmit Certain Behaviors Culturally
D. Insect Culture Looks Rather Different from That Seen among Humans

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。
I never had the privilege of meeting my grandmother on my mother's side. So how is it possible that a memory of her lingers (继续存留) in my mind? Maybe it's the constant mention of her name or the pictures I've seen. Or maybe it's the sweet dessert, Annie Bell's Famous Pound Cake, that created a bridge connecting me to my grandmother.
I remember waking up to my mother baking her mother's famous pound cake. The pleasant smell of buttery would fill the house. 1 would pop up as if my alarm had gone off and make my way down the stairs and into the kitchen where all the magic was happening. My mother would pop the beaters out of the mixer and hand one to me coated with the perfect amount of the batter(面糊). Immediately my heart was full as I licked the beater clean with no trace of batter remaining.
This pound cake had an extraordinary reputation and orders began rushing in. My mother would make hundreds of cakes and I was always there, waiting for my favorite and most important job. Each time I felt a closeness, like the arms of a grandmother bringing you in close and holding you until you lost track of time.
My mother didn't keep this recipe a secret and although others tried to imitate this work of art, they always found that something was missing. Nobody could make it exactly how my mother and grandmother could. Every step and each ingredient was listed in a church cookbook, but the outcome was perfect only when my mother was in the kitchen. I wondered if this had anything to do with the special pan my grandmother used and passed down to my mother- or was it deeper than that?
I knew one day I would have to attempt to bake this famous pound cake. But what if I failed?
What if, like all the others who tried, 1 didn't have what it takes to successfully make this family recipe? If you fail, who cares? Just keep trying. If1 it doesn't come out perfect, it's still a cake!
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I purchased all the ingredients and prepared everything the might before.
With the help of my mother, I baked my first pound cake!
