Joe was a farmer. His farmland was so poor that he hadn’t good harvest for years. “If God let me control the 16 , then everything will get better,” he complained, “I know better than God does because I am a clever farmer.”God heard his words. “Well, I will give you one year,” God replied. “You will be in charge of the weather. Let’s see what your crops grow like.”On hearing this, Joe was so 17 that he couldn’t believe what he heard. But he still wanted to have a try. He shouted, “Sunny!” Suddenl y the clouds went away.“Unbelievable!” He thought to himself and tried again, “rain!” The sky became cloudy right away and heavy rain poured down.In the following year, he changed the weather between sunny and 18 . Watching his crops growing bigger and bigger, he felt satisfied.When the harvest season came, he went to the field, looking forward to a big harvest. But his heart sank to the bottom when he found his strong crops had not grown any grain（谷粒）at all. Puzzled and 19 , he started crying. Once again, God 20 him.“Don’t you have your wish to control the weather?” God asked again. “Yes, but I just can’t understand it. I have given them what they 21 . How could it be?” Joe 22 . “That’s because you 23 asked for wind, rainstorm, snow or anything that could make the roots stronger. Without strong roots, of course they won’t grow any fruit.” After he realized this, Joe asked God to 24 the power.It turned out that only through life’s challenges, we would succeed in harvest the 25 of life.

(A)Those accustomed to browsing through thousands of books in large bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. He began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book reading and signing that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling multiple copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with Masamichi Toyama to establish a unique bookstore with the philosophy of “A Single Room with a Single Book”.The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also selected books written by a famous Japanese author Mimei Ogawa.To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever tricks. For example, when selling a book about flowers, the storekeeper decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore.Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. The storekeeper says he has sold over 2,100 books. Things can get better given that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors form other countries.26.What made Morioka decide to open such a bookstore?A. A Swedish novel.B. His present partner.C. A bookstore clerk.D. His working experience.27.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?A. It is popular with foreigners.B. It sells books of different topics.C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.28.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?A. To introduce his bookstore.B. To tell people about his philosophy.C. To make books better understood.D. To help readers make more friends.29. Which of the following is NOT TURE?A. Shoten and Toyama opened a bookstore called Morioka ShotenB. The idea of the bookstore was accepted by many people.C. Morioka changes the book every week.D. Morioka uses clever tricks to sell his books.29.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?A. Risky.B. Promising.C. Unpredictable.D. Hopeless.(B)The London Travelcard is a paper ticket that is valid on all London public transport.Online exclusive: you can not buy a paper 7 Day Travelcard from Underground stations in London — it can only be bought in advance.Unlimited travel: the Travelcard gives you unlimited travel on London’s public transport network.No queuing: while other visitors wait in line at the train station with their heavy b ags, you’ll be ready to travel as soon as you arrive in London.Low prices: a Travelcard is of great value, and you get a discount on the Tames Riverboats and Emirates Air Line cable car.Should I buy an Anytime Travelcard or an Off Peak Travelcard?It depends on what time of the day you will be travelling:Anytime Travelcards can be used at any time; Off Peak Travelcards are cheaper, but cannot be used on Monday to Friday before 9:30 am.Which zones do I need a Travelcard for?The center of London, including most major attractions, is in Zones 1–2. Most suburban(郊区的) areas of London, including Wembley Stadium and Wimbledon Tennis Club, are within Zones 1-4.Almost the whole of London, including Heathrow and London City Airports, is in Zones 1-6.To check which zones the areas you want to visit are in, see the full map of the London transport network.Tickets prices:(C)The chief designer of China’s first generation of nuclear submarines（核潜艇）drew people’s attention again recently when he was greeted by President Xi Jinping at a ceremony（典礼）on 21st November, 2017.To show his respect, President Xi Jinping took him by hand and invited him to sit with him for a group picture at the Great Hall of People in Beijing.Huang Xuhua, retired director of the Nuclear Submarine Industry Corp, led research and development on the nation’s first nuclear submarines. On December 26, 1970, Long March First, China’s earliest nuclear submar ine prototype, set sail on its first voyage. Huang, aged 44 at the time, set the world record as first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine for its test dive.Being born in the wartime, he had to struggle for a living from an early age. In the face of great difficulties, he made up his mind to pursue achievement in engineering and shipbuilding. In 1944, he was sent on a recommendation to the department of Aeronautic, Centre College. As the top one student, he was admitted to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University just one year later.After four-year study in the shipbuilding department, he graduated and started his lifelong career in engineering and shipbuilding. He was ordered to lead the team to work on China’s nuclear submarine in 1958.As a result of the strict secrecy system, he could not tell anything about his work to his relatives. With Huang and other scientists’ hard work, China’s nuclear submarine grew out of nothing and developed from small to large in a very short time. Because of this, Huang Xuhu a hasn’t gone back to his hometown to visit his parents for just once from 1958 to 1986. He met his 95-year-old mother in 1988 for the first time after 30-year separation. His relatives and the whole country knew nothing about his great contribution until 2013. After his retirement, he still devoted himself to the department of China’s nuclear submarine, bringing up a large number of excellent engineers and scientists who continued his work.As the father of the China’s nuclear submarine, he cared nothing a bout his own life or the fame. There was no air conditioner in his office. He neither owned a car nor a cellphone.Recalling the early days working on the nuclear submarine, where they had to start from nothing and sometimes use to abacuses（算盘）to do the calculation, Huang said he’s proud to be Chinese and called on the young to contribute to the country.“Young people should remember their responsibility, and connect their personal goals with China’s development,” he said.36.Which of the following words can be best described Huang Xuhua?A.Faithful and outgoing.B.Positive and cold-blooded.C.Humorous and tireless.D.Devoted and selfless.37.The underlined word “its” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.A.China Shipbuilding Industry Corp’sB.the team of Huang Xuhua’sC.Long March First’sD.Nuclear Submarine Institute’s38.Why did people consider Huang Xuhua as the father of China’s nuclearsubmarine?A.Because he devoted himself to the development of China’s nuclear submarine.B.Because he played the leading role in the submarine’s research anddevelopment.C.Because he cared nothing about his own life or the fame.D.Because he was the first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine.39.In what order did the following event take place?a.Huang Xuhua was greeted by President Xi Jinping at a ceremony.b.Huang Xuhua became the first chief engineer to be onboard a submarine for itstest dive.c.Huang Xuhua graduated from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University.d.Huang Xuhua was appointed to lead the team in research on China’s nuclearsubmarine.e.Huang Xuhua’s important role started to be known by the public.A.d-c-b-e-aB. d-c-b-a-eC. c-d-b-e-aD. c-d-b-a-e40.What is the passage mainly about?A.Huang’s life experience and his great contribution.B.Why Huang Xuhua designed the nuclear submarine.C.How China’s nuclear submarine grew out of nothing.D.The development of China’s first nuclear submarine.(D)Today’s world is full of plastic goods, from water bottles to car parts. We make plastic toys, toothbrushes, and shopping bags. Plastic is so useful that it’s hard to imagine life without it, but it has not been around that long.The first plastic was invented in 1869. That’s when American John Wesley Hyatt made a form of plastic from a plant material called cellulose. Before long, his discovery was used to make combs, eyeglasses, buttons, and film.In the 1900s, petroleum products such as oil replace d cellulose. New kinds of plastic were discovered in the 1950s, and that’s when the real boom began. People started to use plastic in many fields instead of the old materials. Plastics quickly replace paper, glass, metal, and wood in a growing number of products. In 1960, the United States made 6 billion pounds of plastic. By 1988, the output had grown to 50 billion pounds. These days, almost 10 percent of the oil America uses every year is turned into plastic. That’s 2 million barrels of oil a day.Most of the plastic ever made still exists. Unlike wood, metal, and paper, plastic does not break down easily. Some people think plastic will never break down. Others say it may take 500 or 1,000 years. No one knows for sure because it has been around for too short a time. But if George Washington had used plastic water bottles in the 1700s, those bottles would probably still be around.Althou gh plastic lasts a long time, we don’t keep plastic products very long. We use them and throw them away. Only about 5 percent of plastic is recycled. A huge amount of it ends up floating in the ocean. Then seabirds, seals, turtles, whales and fish eat it. Scientists often find sea animals that have starved（饿）to death with their stomachs full of plastic. And every time it rains, more trash from city streets flushesinto the sea. Much of that trash is plastic.What can we do about plastic? First, be aware. Oil takes millions of years to form. Should we use up this precious fuel to make flimsy shopping bags that are used once and thrown away? Should any animal pay for our convenience with its life? Each person’s actions can make a difference. It’s time to act n ow.41.What can we know about plastic?A.Plastic is now widely used in every area of our daily life.B.America holds the leading position in the world-wide use of plastic.C.Plastic can last for more than 300 years and will never break down.D.About 95% of plastic is used once and then thrown away.42.Which detail supports the idea that plastic can be dangerous?A.Animals starve to death after eating plastic.B.Much of that trash is plastic.C.About 10 percent of the oil we use every year is made into plastic.D.John Wesley Hyatt made the first plastic from cellulose.43.The underlined word “replace” in paragraph 3 means “______”.A.Take the charge ofB.Increase in valueC.Take the place ofD.Decrease in value44.What might be written in the following paragraph?A.Reasons about why we should use less plastic.B.Criticism on those who make and buy plastic.C.Tips for using plastic in the environmental friendly way.D.Difference between using plastic and other materials.45.What’s the best title of the passage?A.Amazing Plastic.B.Dangerous Plastic.eless Plastic.D.New Plastic.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入41~45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Many years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There were two big windows between my house and my neighbour’s.

Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She put the extra bread beside a window. When the woman did this, she always gave a prayer for her son. Her son had gone to a faraway place and she hadn’t heard from him for a long time.Every day, a tramp came and took away the bread. He said when he was leaving, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”The woman felt irritated. “Not even a word of thanks,” she thought.This went on, day by day.Finally, the woman became very angry. She decided to get rid of the tramp. She decided to add poison to the bread she was going to offer to the tramp! However,when she was placing it, her hands shook. “Look at what I’ve done!” She threw the bread into fire at once and made another one.As usual, the tramp came and picked up the bread. “The evil you do remains with y ou. The good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the woman’s son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mum, it’s a miracle that I can come back home! While I was only a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost gave up. But just then an old tramp gave me a loaf of bread. He said that the bread was his food every day, but today, I should get the bread, for I needed the bread much more than he did!”The woman’s face turned pale when she heard those words. The tramp’s words suddenly came back to her, “The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you.”26. From the first paragraph, we can know the woman did all the thingsEXCEPT___________.A. she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by.B. she placed extra bread beside a windowC. she always prayed for her son when she placed the breadD. she had received a letter from her son recently27. The underlined wo rd “irritated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. worriedB. angryC. sadD. happy28. What did the woman plan to do with the tramp?A. To add poison to the bread.B. To make terrible bread for the tramp.C. To throw away the bread.D. To put the bread into fire29. Why did the woman’s face turn pale when she heard her son’s words?A. Because her son was seriously sick.B. Because the tramp died of the bread.C. Because if she had placed the poisoned bread out, her son might have died.D. Because somebody would take her son away.30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A kind womanB. An extra loaf of breadC. A trampD. The good you do comes back to youBAre you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in t heir lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had olderbrothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.31.What is the passage mainly about?A. Happiness.B. Shyness.C. Kindness.D. loneliness.32.What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Passed down from parents.B. Learned from friends.C. Taught by teachers.D. Made up by brothers.33.What can be learned from the passage?A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.34.We can learn from the passage that _______ may cause shyness.A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplaceB. genetics, family size and birthplaceC. family size, grown-ups and failureD. genetics, family size and freedom35.Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by______.A. blaming their failure on outside reasonsB. trying new things and practicing conversationC. getting themselves away from their shy parentsD. trying to understand reasons for their shynessCStephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans-a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admitted, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student,and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump(撞上) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very bored with life. There bad not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worth-while things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.He wrote some famous books. Hawking shot to fame with his 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which were sold over 10 million copies. A children’s book with his daughter was published eleven years ago. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of t he universe(宇宙),” said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award (1978). It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics(理论物理学).After his death, his children said his legacy(遗产) would "live on for many years".36. As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______.A. worked very hardB. studied Maths and physicsC. was the best student in his classD. was lazy and did very little work37. From the last paragraph, we can infer why Hawking’s children say Hawking’slegacy would “live on for many years”.A.Because Hawking lived for many years.B.Because Hawking’s children had no money.C.Because Hawking’s children can live for many years with the money from theirfather.D.What Hawking left in physics is useful.38. What does the underlined “incurable” stand for?A. easy to be cured.B. unable to be cured.C. common.D. uncertain39. According to the text, which of the following statements is the fact?A. Hawking has received many awards and prizes except the Albert Einstein Award.B. The illness keeps him from moving and talking.C. He communicates with others by speaking.D. The illness stopped him from being successful.40. What was the correct order according to the passage?a. He wrote a children’s book with his daughter.b. he got a job at Cambridge University.C. His book A Brief History of Time was published.d. He cheered himself up after knowing that he got a serious disease.A. b-d-a-cB. b-c-d-aC. d-b-c-aD. d-c-b-aD41.

AIt ’nos secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with theworld-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you. Highly Sensitive Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “ all or nothing approach ” to exercise. This personalityis type known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this cancause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sportsA.They will feel like they are being evaluated.B.They don't like socialising with other people.C.They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D.They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22.Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23.What is the purpose of the textA.To help people understand what personality type they areB.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD.To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and firstfull-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as“ little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’soperatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song“I.nmy Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad”.The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried.She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when Iwork hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’smusical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children ’srhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friendposted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”.This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They wouldinstead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma. ”Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24.

Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家 ) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United Statesand Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringinga more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but thatis only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a needto keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28.What is the function of the second paragraphA.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D.To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be describedA.

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 baddairy”-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe 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.2018广州市一模英语试卷含答案The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf lifeand, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’ s website,to when conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhousegas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since itcontains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which meansvegetarian 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 willmost likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows milk alternatives’ availableto consumers.32.
