Passage Two

听力原文

    (12) Eat Grub 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 least a wing didn’t get stuck in my throat. The roasted seasoning largely overpowered any other flavor 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 two 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 thought. 

14. What does Eat Grub say about its dried crickets?

解析：C。录音中说到，Eat Grub夸口说他们的蟋蟀干比牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉含有更多的蛋白质、铁和钙等矿物质。C项中的more protein是原文重现，conventional meat则指代牛肉，鸡肉和猪肉等传统肉类，因此选C。而录音中只说到，这家公司夸口蟋蟀干比其他肉类含有更多蛋白质，并没有说美味，他们推荐蟋蟀作为汤和沙拉的配料，并不是比它们更营养，而录音最后说，说话者并不确定这种食物是否会流行，故A、B、D项错误。
