Thats the hope of scientists and architects who are setting up a unique plan to feed an increasing population on a planet with limited farmland.“In another 40 years, therell be another three billion people. Thats the problem，” said Dickson Despommier, a professor of publ
119、ic health at Colombia University.One solution is to grow everything from salad grains to main grains yearround in highrise buildings at the hearts of urban centers. This socalled vertical (垂直的) farming could put food within easy reach for billions of people while reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) from
120、 shipping crops across continents and oceans.“It is based on technologies already in use throughout the world, mainly hightech greenhouses，” Despommier said. For example, many existing greenhouses use hydroponics, a technique for growing crops in smaller spaces using water instead of soil. But for n
121、ow highrise farming remains just an idea. One challenge is how to build the greenhouses so that layers of crops get enough light to be grown in a vertical structure. Despommier says that architects are already designing buildings to harvest the maximum amount of natural light. Whats more, by using n
122、ew energy sources such as hydrothermal power (热能) and wind power，these buildings dont necessarily have to look like skyscrapers. Another consideration is creating a vertical farm design that would be economically practical. Despommier said he was particularly interested in EcoLaboratory. It would be
123、 just 12 stories tall and would mix houses with gardens that produce food for the local neighborhood.“This was an attempt at something that seemed practical to a developer，” said project designer Myer Harrell. People might tend the crops，or they might assign the work to outside agricultural firms an

125、cording to Despommier，vertical farming can _.Aproduce crops with more nutrientsBprovide enough food for the world populationCreduce farmers cost of growing cropsDbe helpful in slowing down global warming解析：选D细节理解题。从第二段最后一句可知，垂直农业的实施将有助于降低碳排放量，从而有利于减缓大气变暖。26What does Harrell think of EcoLaboratory?AE
126、xpensive.BWorkable.CFantastic.DDifficult.解析：选B推理判断题。从倒数第二段引述的Harrell的话尤其是“practical”以及最后一段第一句中的“probable”可推知，Harrell认为垂直农业是切实可行的，故选B。27All of the following are advantages of vertical farming EXCEPT that _.Ait creates yearround crop productionBit makes use of less farmlandsCit is far away from urban
127、centersDit offers opportunities of selfsufficiency for citizens解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句和最后一段可知，A、B、D三项都属于垂直农业的优点。由文章第二段倒数第二句可知，垂直农业一般是位于市中心的高层建筑内，故C项表述错误。28Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?AVertical farming: the pride of architectsBSkyscrapers: the base of growing cropsCHig
128、hrise farms: the future of foodDGreenhouses：the promise of free carbon emissions解析：选C标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了垂直农业将成为未来解决粮食短缺问题的办法，并预测了它的前景，故C项最符合文章主旨。CWe often hear about how air pollution is changing earth temperatures. New evidence from a mountaintop in China now suggests that pollution can also change the a
129、mount of rain and snow falling in some places.Usually, more precipitation (降水量) falls in mountainous places than in flat areas upwind (逆风的) from the mountains.In recent years, however, many mountainous areas in the USA have been getting 25 percent less precipitation than normal. Mountains that are d
130、ownwind of cities have experienced the biggest drops.Some British scientists have theorized that pollution moves from the cities into the mountains, affecting rainfall. To get answers, scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (耶路撒冷) turned to a mountain in China called Mount Hua. The mount
131、ain is 2,060 metres tall and lies about 120 kilometers east of the Chinese city of Xian. Since 1954, meteorologists (气象学家) have been collecting details about rainfall, humidity, and visibility (能见度) in the area.Scientists compared rainfall on Mount Hua with rainfall in the nearest city, Huayin, on d
132、ays with varying levels of visibility using these_data. When the air was clear and people could see 20 km away, the scientists found that 65 percent more rain fell on the mountain than in the city. But when smoggy, allowing only 8 km of visibility through the haze (薄雾), the mountain received just 20
133、 percent more rain than the city did. The new data support the theory.Some scientists believe that there are other explanations for the numbers. For example, some believe that naturally occurring particles (颗粒) in the air rather than particles produced by pollution are affecting visibility. This is
134、the first study to observe a connection between rainfall and changes in visibility due to air pollution. However, more studies are needed to confirm the link.29The scientists carrying out the study on Mount Hua are most probably from _.AChinaBthe USACIsrael (以色列)DBritain解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段中“from the He
135、brew University of Jerusalem”可以判断这些科学家最有可能来自以色列。30In the third paragraph “these data” dont include the information about _.Athe population thereBthe amount of rainfallCthe humidityDthe visibility解析：选A细节理解题。根据上文所提到的“. collecting details about rainfall, humidity, and visibility in the area.”可以判断不包括A项。
136、31From the last paragraph, we can learn that _.Ascientists havent paid enough attention to weather changesBnot all scientists believe that there is a connection between visibility and rainfallCthe low visibility must be caused by the heavy air pollutionDair pollution may not be the only reason for t
137、he change of the visibility解析：选D推理判断题。注意B项的迷惑性，从最后一段可以看出科学家都已知道能见度和降雨量有关系，在这点上没有什么分歧；而对于能见度影响雨量的原因，他们的看法不同，一部分科学家认为是污染导致了能见度降低，而另一部分科学家认为有其他原因，比如说大气中自然存在的颗粒也会导致能见度的降低，由此判断正确答案为D。32What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe factors affecting the amount of rainfall.BThe effect of air pollution on ea
138、rth temperatures.CA weather study carried out on a mountain in China.DAir pollution reducing precipitation.解析：选D推理判断题。文章第一段提出污染和降水量有关，接着开始写科学家用数据来证明能见度越低(即污染越严重)，降水量越小，可推出D正确。DJezz and Julian Wright have become an Internet hit. The devoted parents created their own childrens programs and even built
139、up their own channel.They believed popular programs, such as Power Rangers and In the Night Garden, were “numbing” their two young childrens brains, so they decided to make their own.The creative couple were inspired to make films when Cillian was four and began asking questions about Christmas. The
140、y looked for programs to help explain, but found nothing suitable. Instead, they created a series of films based on characters called Jack and Holly best friends who learn educational value through their adventures. They proved so popular with their children and friends children that the couple deci
141、ded to continue. Mr Wright produces and writes the whole series of stories, which are designed for preschool children. Cillian performs the voice of Jack and Mrs Wright performs the voice of Holly, and their friend Graham Jones draws animation (动画制作). Later, they started their own online channel.The
142、 70minute show can be viewed, only once it is started by parents. The couple believe this will get children to interact (互动) with their parents and discuss the show.Mr Wright said, “Were delighted at the success we have made. We are just fed up with the unnecessary nonsense that childrens heads are
143、filled with. We want to make something we feel happy about so that our son and daughter could happily sit down to watch them. Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown fulfills educational material and traditional values.And it can also catch childrens imagination. This is what weve aimed for.”The program
144、s can be currently downloaded for free, but they also sell DVDs via their website . They set up a “shoestring budget” program, donating all the money they earn from selling the DVDs to childrens hospices across the UK.语篇解读：Wright夫妇自编自导了适合孩子看的动画节目Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown，他们甚至还在网上开设了自己的频道。3
145、3Cillian was likely to be the name of _.Aa character in a cartoonBa famous actorCJezz s friendDa child of Jezzs解析：选D推理判断题。根据上下文可知当Cillian 4岁的时候，询问父母关于圣诞节的事情，在Wright夫妇搜寻可以帮助解答孩子问题的节目无果后，Mr Wright才决定为孩子们创办适合他们的节目。因此可推断出Cillian应该是Wright夫妇的孩子。34Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown _.Ais filled with educa
