This year, almost 7 million people have died of hunger already. Why do people still die of hunger when theres more than enough food in the world?

15、Well, considering that there are places in the world where basic needs like housing and clean, drinkable water are not met, then it doesnt come as a surprise that food is just not accessible to them. The food exists-it just doesnt get to where it needs to be.Nigerian farmer Samson Ogbole decided to

16、go ahead and cultivate (培育) fruit and vegeta-bles in a different way. Ogboles farming process centres around two concepts: soilless farming and aeroponics (气雾栽培). To put it simply-hes growing food in the air.As Ogbole explained during a TED talk, aeroponics is the future of agriculture because it of

17、fers many benefits. For example, it is cheaper than traditional farming because there is no need to hire as many workers since everything is done with a “click”. Also, this kind of farming is more environmentally friendly since farmers dont use pesticides. At the same time, there are no space limita

18、tions-planting in the air means you can plant as many layers as you like. The sky is the limit literally!So, the young farmer has been practicing aeroponics for more than five years with impressive results. His work was recently praised on social media this summer when he was featured in a network p

19、ost. In the post, Ogboles farming method was mentioned, and Internet users had the chance to see pictures of the farmer s produce.Many viewers think southern Nigeria needs this method to grow crops. This will help in bringing down the price and avoiding future food blockades from the north. It seems

20、 that people are already realizing that this method will change the way people grow food. And, most importantly, it will help solve some of the issues related to hunger around the world.24What does the figure in paragraph 1 show?AThe seriousness of hunger.BThe number of hungry people.CThe nccessity

21、of growing food in the air.DThe existing population problem.25Why do people still starve to death in the world according to the text?AThere is not enough food supply.BTheir basic needs are not met.CThey have no scientific planting methods.DFood is not equally shared.26What is paragraph 4 mainly abou

22、t?AThe theory of aeroponics.BThe advantages of aeroponics.CHow to grow food in the air.DThe downsides of traditional farming.27What do viewers think of Ogboles farming method?AUnrealistic.BFunny.CPromising.DHelpless.A new study from North Carolina State University found that biology textbooks have d

23、one a poor job of including material related to climate change. For example, the study found that most biology textbooks published in the 2010s included less information about climate change than they did in the previous decade-despite significant advances in our understanding of how climate change

24、is influencing ecosystems and the environment.“In short, we found biology textbooks are failing to share enough information about climate change, which is a generation-defining topic in the life sciences,” says Jennifer Landin, author of the study. “These books are the baseline texts for helping stu

25、dents understand the science of life on Earth, yet they are providing very little information about a phenomenon that is having a great impact on habitats, ecosystems, agriculture-almost every aspect (方面) of life on Earth,”For the study, researchers investigated coverage of climate change in 57 coll

26、ege biology textbooks published between 1970 and 2019. The researchers found climate coverage has varied greatly over those five decades and that the amount of climate coverage in textbooks fell off in the 2010s. In addition to length, the nature of the content has also changed greatly over time.“On

27、e of the most troubling findings was that textbooks are devoting less space to addressing climate solutions now than they did in the 1990s-even as they focus more on the effects of climate change,” Landin says. “That suggests to students that nothing can be done,which is both wildly misleading and c

28、ontributes to a sense of fatalism (宿命论) regarding cli-mate change.”“We are hoping that this study will serve as a wake-up call for publishers and instructors. We need to do a much better job of putting climate change into our courses if we want to pre-pare students to understand the role that climat

BProviding little new information about biology.CNot covering every aspect of life on Earth.DNo generation-defining topics in the textbooks.30How did the researchers conduct

31、the study?ABy tracking textbook publishers.BBy doing surveys of students in colleges.CBy observing climate change for 50 years.DBy investigating college biology textbooks.31What does Landin expect the study to function as?AA wake up call for biology science.BA warning to take biology seriously.CA di

32、rection of studying climate change.DAn alarm bell for publishers and teachers. A healthy diet may not offset (抵消) the effects of a high salt intake on blood pressure, suggests a new study. The research, from scientists at a number of institutions, studied the diets of over 4,000 people. The results

33、showed that people eating higher amounts of salt had higher blood pressure no matter how healthy a persons overall diet.The scientists behind the research are now advising people to monitor their salt intake-and food companies to lower the salt content in their products.High blood pressure affects m

34、ore than one in four adults in the UK, and increases the risk of a number of conditions including heart attacks and stroke. Its thought that vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables might in some way affect blood vessels (血管), enabling them to lower blood pressure. Previously, experts believed

35、that eating high amounts of fruit and vegetables might help offset the effects of high salt on blood pressure. However, while these foods do tend to lower blood pressure, the new research suggests they do not offset the adverse influence of high salt intake.In the paper, the team studied data from t

36、he so-called INTERMAP study. In this study published in 2018，scientists tracked the diets of 4, 680 people, aged 40-59, from the USA, the UK, Japan and China. The researchers found a link between high blood pressure and high salt intake, even in people who were on a healthy diet.The recommended uppe

37、r limit of adult salt intake in the UK is 6 g a day. The study found that the average salt intake across the study was 10.7 g a day. The average intake for the UK was 8.5 g while the intake for the USA, China and Japan were9.6g, 13.1 g and 11.7 g respectively. Increasing salt intake above this avera
