First it was pets, then fish. Now it’s poultry and pigs. The【C1】________of animals allowed to feed on insects is growing. A new EU law【C2】________the use of insect protein in poultry and pig feed came into【C3】________earlier this month, which is a significant【C4】________for an industry keen to【C5】________ its way into the animal-feed business.
【C6】________a ban on processed animal protein was imposed in 2001 in the【C7】________of the "mad cow" crisis, soy and fishmeal have become the bedrock of animal feed in Europe. But their production needs lots of space and can be【C8】________to the environment, so feed manufacturers are looking for【C9】________.
Insects are just the ticket. They are reared in vertical farms that require little land or water, and they can be fed on agricultural by-products or food waste【C10】________rotting fruit and vegetables. They’re also a natural【C11】________. Most wild fish, birds and pigs eat insects.
The one thing going【C12】________them is price: insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fishmeal, and many times pricier than soy. Scaling up production may help close the gap. Rabobank, a Dutch lender,【C13】________that global insect production will reach 500,000 tonnes a year by 2030, and that prices will tumble.
Insect companies have【C14】________hard on their pitch. Research suggests insects may be more than mere feed,【C15】________growth rates and immune systems as well as filling stomachs. They also offer the【C16】________of a green, local protein.
Poultry and pig feed are by far the largest animal-feed markets, but they’re more【C17】________ than food for pets or fish. For that reason, says Antoine Hubert, CEO of Ynsect, a mealworm firm, insect protein will probably be used only in premium meat at first.
This year the European Food Safety Agency has ruled that three【C18】________of insects (yellow mealworm, locusts and house crickets) are【C19】________for humans to eat as well.【C20】________. however, people seem less keen on the idea than chickens and pigs.
【C13】
选项
A、chooses
B、determines
C、reveals
D、predicts
答案
D
解析
空格处需要填入一个动词,后跟两个由that引导的宾语从句:that global insect production will reach 500,000 tonnes a year by 2030和that prices will tumble,宾语从句中出现了两个will,可以判断该空动词应该是一个能引出将来时态的动词,因此四个选项中predicts(预测)最合适,故D项为答案。A项chooses意为“选择”,B项determines意为“决定”,代入空格后,语意不通,故排除。C项reveals意为“揭示”,被揭示的事物或现象应该已经存在,与语境不符,故排除。
