Similar to their pork substitutes, the new products are said to oiler a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas.Omni foods* expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is growing. According to Enterprise Singapore, local interest in sensible consumption doubled in 2021, and flexitarians people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume meat or seafood represent the fastest growth. The ocean is another reason cited as the need for plant-based seafood. The average person here consumed 22kg of seafood last year, surpassing the global average of 20kg. The World Wide Fund fbr Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable. Besides, fish farming involves the use of chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues, which becomes a serious threat to people's health.Omnifbods says their products address all these concerns. Made primarily from non-gcnctically modified soybeans, the plant-based alternatives arc free of harmful substances, absolutely sale. The company pointed out that the products share a similar look, feel and taste of the real thing. <4We've done pilot taste tests with friends, family, and one sushi restaurant.

Next Food Frontier: Seafood Made From PlantsScientists from the National University of Singapore studied how much time twins spent in natural spaces compared with each other and found that they shared a similar level of desire to be in nature.“The reason we decided to study this in twins is that we could estimate herilabilily(遗传 性)based on the genetic similarities in identical twins(100%)versus genetic similarities in non-identical twins(50%),M said Chia-chen Chang, who led the study. t4If a trait(特性),such试卷第4页，共11页as the desire to be in nature, is clearly more similar between identical twins than non-identical twins, this will then suggest a trait is heritable.Using the TwinsUK registry, researchers surveyed 1,153 pairs of twinsidentical and non-identicalabout how they experienced nature. They were required to answer questions involving how frequently they visit natural spaces such as public parks and private gardens and rate their familiarity with nature. After comparing and analyzing the collected data, researchers found that identical twins were more similar to each other in their attitudes towards nature.While previous studies have found that spending time in natural spaces improves mental well-being, this varies from person to person. For the first time, the researchers say, this study has indicated why that is by suggesting there is likely to be a genetic component in our preference fbr nature and our likelihood to visit natural spaces.However, heritability declined with age, perhaps showing that environmental factors such as access to nature and green spaces bring about a love of the outdoors as one grows older. That is to say, a person's desire to be in nature and how often they experience it are influenced by both genes and personal experiences. Those who live in urban environments without access to nature could end up having a lesser appreciation of it. Hence, ifs necessary that diverse urban planning is needed to provide access to natural spaccs-and the benefits they offer-fbr all.12. Why were twins chosen as subjects of the study?A. To acquire more accurate results.C. To measure their gene similarity.B. To confirm the previous studies.D. To identify their specific hobbies.13. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By analyzing previous data.C. By asking and answering questions.14. What is special about this study?A. It takes genes into consideration.B. By referring to online resources.D. By doing an experiment in the labB. It takes advantage of the Internet.C. It provides a new insight into the role of nature.D. It reveals the link between natureand mental health.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. One's love fbr nature is invariable.B.City planning leaves much to be desired.D. Genes are the only factor in shapingC.

However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. 16The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our sell-worth be contingent upon external events (such as academics and physical attractiveness).17 As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others. Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. 18 Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we'll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.19If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we mightonly choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we're worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undcrcat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that vc feel good. Sclfworth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how vc think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. 20 Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are.A. That may pose potential dangers.B. Unfortunately, he is no exception.C. When our self worth depends on those, it's unstable.D. Let's cite some examples to farther demonstrate that.E. Let's dive into the cause to learn more about sclfworth.F. Actually, he's always been labeled as “other people's child”.G. Instead, learn to base your selworth on internal contingencies like virtues and faiths.试卷第6页，共11页三、完形填空From the age of eight, I had to contribute my share of labor along with my father.
