9、ting the capacity of grain production.CPromoting strategic restructuring of agriculture.DContinuing to deepen rural reforms.答案A解析推理判断题。从第二段所列的七项优先发展的问题中，最重要的应该放在第一位，因此应该是第一条，即“Firstly well promote faster increase of farmers income.”，故选A项。4Whats the best title of the passage?AChinas agricultural reso
10、urcesBChinas agriculture seven aspectsCReform of Chinas agricultureDAgriculture in China答案D解析标题归纳题。整篇文章都是在介绍中国的农业，因此标题用中国的农业最合适。BWhen you hear the word “farm”，chances are your picture of rolling hills in the country covered with cows and corn.But some scientists，engineers and city planners say the f
11、arms of the future could be indoors inside skyscrapers(摩天大楼) in the worlds most populated cities.It might sound crazy，but in fact，some of the technology for growing crops indoors already exists.The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)，has been experimenting for years with methods for
12、growing fresh fruits and vegetables on the moon or even on Mars.Bringing farming indoors solves a number of problems.First，traditional farming takes up a lot of land.By the year 2050，the world population will grow by another three billion.As populations grow，the land available for farming decreases.
13、Governments are now wondering where we will grow the food for all these people.Despommier，an ecologist at Columbia University，and his colleagues say “vertical farming”growing crops in skyscrapers tens of stories highis the answer.Cities that grow their own food also would become more selfreliant and
14、 no longer be at risk of natural disasters，weather instability(不稳定) or insect pests(害虫)“You can control everything indoors.You cant control anything outdoors.” Despommier says.Vertical farms dont exist yet.Their supporters say a welldesigned vertical farm could be selfreliant，able to recycle water，c

17、requirements.Tomatoes like warm，sunny weather，while greens like lettuce prefer cooler temperatures.And nearly all crop plants require lots of sunlight.Copying sunlight is challenging，but scientists are learning how to make artificial lights that produce the colors，or wavelengths，of light，especially
18、red and blue，that crop plants need.Still，artificial，electric lights present their own challenges.Overhead lights are inefficient，but more efficient(高效能的) lighting systems are still too expensive for widespread use.Thats not to say these challenges wont be overcome，but it will take time.Most experts

20、tages “vertical farming” will bring us.答案B解析主旨大意题。文章主要从垂直农业的优点、面临的问题、前景等几个方面展开叙述。所以此题答案为B项。C和D两项只谈及了垂直农业的某一个方面，不够全面。A项与文章无关。6To the future of “vertical farming”，the author is according to the passage.Adoubtful BpessimisticCoptimistic Dproud答案C解析推理判断题。文章介绍了垂直农业的优点以及它所面临的一些技术难题。从文章最后一段中更能看出作者对于垂直农业前景持

22、hould look beautiful.DThe gases given off in the process can be used to heat the building.答案C解析细节理解题。在文章的第五段可找到A、B、D三个选项的依据。而C项文章并未提及，故此题答案应为C项。8The following are the benefits of “indoors farming”EXCEPT that .A“indoors farming”can help people to save a lot of landBcrops can be protected from the har
23、m of natural disasterCcrops will be free from the damage caused by insect pestsD“indoors farming” can help people save a lot of money答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段可知，尽管垂直农业所面临的一些问题可能会被解决，但文中举了灯光的例子用来说明解决这些问题需要大量的费用。所以垂直农业目前不但不能帮助人们节省钱，反而可能增加费用。故应选D项。CA couple of years ago，in 2008，I got laid off from a decent
