15、In the basement of a landmark 27-story tower in Stockholm, Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution. He is the chief executive of Plantagon, a new urban farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital. He is by no
16、 means the first enthusiast for indoor farming, which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years. Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming. Plantagons early
17、 promises reflect this new optimism. Petterson calls the farms approach agritechture: the combination of agriculture, technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat. The term may be new, but the concept isnt. Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such
18、as hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aeroponics (in which plants are grown in air over containers). Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil. Plantagon plans to grow high-value foods in a pumice-like material rather than soil. Water for the plants is measured precisely. It wi
19、ll also dehumidify (除湿)the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste. Compared with conventional agriculture, it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops. Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms, which have to create artificial sunlight. Although advances in t
20、he efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years, plants use only about I percent of the artificial light produced. This leads to a great waste of energy, most of which disappears as heat. The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and p
21、ipe it into the heating system of the office block above. Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the buildings air conditioners.1.What does Petterson plan to do in the basement?A.Grow crops.B.Do operations.C.Open a seed company.D.Give lectures about farming.2.What does the
22、underlined phrase the term in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Aeroponics.B.Hydroponics.C.Monoculture.D.Agritechture.3.What do indoor farms do with energy waste?A.Produce oxygen.B.Run air conditioners.C.Heat offices.D.Create artificial sunlight.4.What is the text mainly about?A.A farming revolution.B.Petterso
23、ns achievement.C.A water-saving farming project.D.An environment-friendly system.4. Todays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力),a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young Universi
24、ty discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to
25、 higher achievement in school. There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers, Padilla-Walker said. This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistencewhich can be taughtare key to a childs life success. Researchers determined that dads need to practic
26、e an authoritative parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are
27、 stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权). In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistenc
28、e, which leads to better outcomes in school. This particular study examined 11-to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.1.What is special about the
29、BYU professors study?A.It centered on fathers role in parenting.B.It was based on a number of large families.C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D.It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.2.What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A.Ignore their demands.B.M
30、ake decisions for them.C.Control their behaviors.D.Explain the rules to them.3.Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A.Single parents.B.Children aged from 11 to 14.C.Authoritarian fathers.D.Mothers in two-parent homes.4.Which of the following is the best title for
31、 the text?A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC.Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD.Family Relationship Influences School Performance二、七选五Overcome Culture Shock in the Classroom Culture shock occurs in a classroom when stude
