 二、听力原文： 

 

 Passage 2.
 

 　　(12) EatGrub is Britain’s first new food company that breaks western. Food boundaries by introducing edible insects as a new source of food. And Sainsbury’s is the first UK supermarket to stock the company’s crunchy roasted crickets. 

 

 　　Sainsbury’s insists that such food is no joke and could be a new, sustainable source of protein. Out of curiosity, I paid a visit to Sainsbury’s as I put my hand into a packet of crickets with their tiny eyes and legs. The idea of one going in my mouth made me feel a little sick. (13) But the first bite was a pleasant surprise, a little dry and lacking of taste, but at east a wing didn’t get stuck in my throat. The roasted seasoning largely overpowered any other flavour, although there was slightly bitter aftertaste, the texture was crunchy, but smelt a little of cat food eat grub also recommends the crickets as a topping for noodles, soups and salads. 

 

 　　(14) The company boasts that its dried crickets contain more protein than beef, chicken, and pork, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. Unlike the production of meat, bugs do not use up large amounts of land, water or feed. (15) And insect farming also produces far fewer greenhouse gases. However, despite 2 billion people worldwide already supplementing their diet with insects, consumer disgust remains a large barrier in many western countries. I’m not sure bugs will become a popular snack anytime soon, but they’re definitely food for fault. 

 

 　　Questions. 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. 

 

 　　Question 12: What do we learn form the passage about the food company EatGrub? 

 

 　　Question 13: What does the speaker say about his first bite a roasted crickets? 

 

 　　Question 14:What does EatGrub say about his dried crickets? 

 

 　　Question 15:What does the passage say about insect farming?

 短文二 

 

 “吃虫(Eat Grub)”是英国第一家打破西方食品界限的新兴食品公司，致力于引进可食用昆虫来作为一种新的食物来源。 

 

 赛恩斯布雷兹是英国首家销售该公司产品“脆烤蟋蟀”的超市。 

 

 赛恩斯布雷兹坚持认为吃这种食物不是开玩笑，它可以成为一种新的、可持续的蛋白质来源。 

 

 出于好奇，我去了一趟赛恩斯布雷兹，当我把手放进一袋有着小眼睛和小腿的蟋蟀里， 

 

 一想到要将他们放进嘴里我就觉得有点儿恶心。 

 

 不过第一口吃上去还是很惊喜的，有点干、没什么味道，至少没有翅膀卡在我的喉咙里。 

 

 虽然有点苦涩，但是烤过后的调料在很大程度上盖过了它的其他味道。 

 

 口感很脆，闻起来有一点像猫粮。 

 

 吃虫公司(Eat Grub)还推荐将蟋蟀作为面条、汤和沙拉的配料。 

 

 该公司宣称其生产的干蟋蟀比牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉含有更多的蛋白质以及铁和钙等矿物质。 

 

 与肉类的生产不同，昆虫不会消耗大量的土地、水或者饲料。 

 

 昆虫养殖产生的温室气体也要少得多。 

 

 然而，尽管全球已有20亿人在食用昆虫，但消费者对昆虫的厌恶仍是许多西方国家的无法突破的一道门槛。 

 

 我不确定虫子是否会在不久后成为一种广受欢迎的小吃，但它绝对是高档食物。 

 

 从文章中我们可以了解到食品公司“吃虫(Eat Grub)”的什么信息？ 

 

 关于对烤蟋蟀的第一口尝试，叙述者是如何描述的？ 

 

 “吃虫公司(Eat Grub)”是如何描述其公司的干蟋蟀食品的？ 

 

 该文章就昆虫养殖说了什么？
