We often overlook and completely forget how dangerous the game of baseball can

be for the players on the field

，

and even for the fans

，

who gather very closely as

baseballs and bats fly around at the park at terrifying speeds.

Unfortunately

，

we were hit with a troubling reminder on Friday night at Fenway

Park

struck

the

ball

barrel flew into the stands to the left of home plate (the place that the player has

to stand next to in order to hit the ball

a lot of bleeding.I don't think I've ever s

een that much blood.”

That

game

When

I

watched

wild

baboons

(

狒

狒

)

in

Africa

，

it

seemed

as

if

they

ate

did they really? They have simple baboons eat foods that

have a lot of fiber

，

they get very little nutrition from that food

，

and then they

don't

have

room

for

more

nutritious

s

need

foods

with

a

lot

of

s should be picky eaters.

In the 1990s

，

a team of primatologists (

灵长类动物学家

) solved

this riddle

．

By

watching

wild

baboons

，

the

team

of

primatologists

found

that

the

monkeys

ate

whatever

they could find as long as the foods had a lot of protein and s avoided

foods with lots of foods had high protein or high fat

，

and many foods had

low it looked as if baboons ate everything.

Research on baboon foods made me wonder how baboons found their foods.I knew

baboons were their size

，

they have big brains

，

and they remember a lot of

though some baboon troops have more than 100 monkeys

，

baboons easily

remember

their

friends

and

enemies.I

reasoned

that

baboons

might

memorize

the

locations of some foods.

For 18 months I lived in a tent in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania.I camped next

to the river.I studied only male baboons because females have babies

，

and I didn't

want

to

scare

the

little

morning

，

I

picked

a

different

male

here

he went

，

I time he ate

，

I wrote down the food type and how much he

ate.

I

discovered

that

baboons

did

not

find

baobab

trees

(

猴面包树

)

d

，

the monkeys walked quickly and directly to baobab same was not true for

other s used more random patterns to find elephant dung (

粪便

，

young

antelopes

，

and mes they found these foods on their way to the baobab

trees!

Supermarket

shelves

are

filled

with

plant-based

alternatives

to

cow

milk,

including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who

cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with

those

concerned about

animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy- free(

非乳制的

)

options

work

well

with

cereal

or

in

coffee,

they

fail

miserably

when

it

comes

to

making

milk- based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be

a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out

how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!

Perumal

Gandhi

and

Ryan

Pandya

founded

the

company

in

2014

after

becoming

increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk

-free alternatives, particularly

for

cheese.

For

Gandhi,

who

stopped

consuming

animal

products

five

years

earlier

due

to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better

alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking

action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy

-free cream cheese on his

sandwich

The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create

a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the

pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(

酵母

).

This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.

The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with

some plant nutrients

and fats.

The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,

has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to

the

company’s

website,

when

compared

to

conventional

milk

production,

their

process

uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91%

less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk

proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian

consumers

will

no

longer

have

to

deal

with

soggy

cheese

on

their

sandwiches

and

pizzas.

The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their

first

product

will

most

likely

be

cheese

since

there

are

already

numerous

good

cows’

milk alternatives available to consumers.

32. The underlined word

A. alternatives

reasons

33.

The

company

s

founders

were

motivated

to

make

the

new

product

because

of_______.

A. their deep concern for the environment

B. their worry that farm animals were poorly treated

C the over- consumption of the dairy-based products

D. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available

34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.

B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.

C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.

D. The dairy-

free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Making Milk without Cows B. New Milk Saves Planet

C.

Fresher

Milk,

Better

Future D.

Healthier

Cheese
