语篇解读

　　一家西班牙公司通过3D打印技术制造出了人造牛肉，目前正在扩大生产。很快，3D打印的牛肉就能登上大家的餐桌了。

　　答案详析

　　1. Because the need for plant-based products around the world increases. 根据第一段第二句“A Spanish company Novameat is speeding up its production as the need for plant-based products around the world increases.”可知，Novameat加速生产的原因是世界各地对植物性产品的需求在增加。

　　2. Beans and corn. 根据第二段第一句“Founded in 2018, Novameat makes beans and corn taste and look like real beef by 3D-printing technology.”可知，Novameat通过3D打印技术将豆子和玉米制成像牛肉的产品。因此3D打印的牛肉是由豆子和玉米制成的。

　　3. The goal to reduce the influence caused by cattle feeding/to solve the problems caused by the animal meat industry.根据第二段中的“the company's goal is to reduce the influence caused by cattle feeding"可知，该公司的目标是降低牛的饲养带来的影响。故正是这一目标让 Novameat 想到了生产3D 打印牛肉。也可根据第三段第一句作答。

　　4.Surprised./Satisfied. 根据倒数第二段中的“But I did not expect that the texture would be so well achieved.”和“both the taste and the texture gave me a surprise"可知.这位科学家没想到3D打印牛肉的质感可以这么好，牛肉的味道和质感都给了他惊喜，故他是惊喜的、满意的。

　　5. Supermarkets and restaurants interested in 3D-printed beef. 根据文章最后一句“The company decides to sell its beef to supermarkets,and also to restaurants interested in this product.”可知.该公司决定将其牛肉出售给超市和对该产品感兴趣的餐厅。

　　长难句分析

　　原句：（第三段第一句)The idea behind this is to try to solve all of these problems that the animal meat industry brings to our planet,to the animals and to our health.

　　译文：这背后的想法是试图解决动物肉类产业给我们的星球、动物和我们的健康带来的所有这些问题。

　　分析：这是一个复合句。that the animal meat industry brings to...our health是that 引导的定语从句，修饰先行词 all of these problems。
