Eating local means to try to buy and consume foods that are gr
20、own in places close to home. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away. During the transportation, greenhouse(温室 )gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the dista
21、nce your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment. But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms？ Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a “vertical(垂直的 )farm”. A vertical farm
22、is a glass-walled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大楼 ). Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation.
23、Despommier imagines a 30-story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a citys water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的 ) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs
24、 no soil to grow plants. Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a citys waste water and fill it with nutritions to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water. The idea of a vertical farm has attr
25、acted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we dont have much land left for us,” Stringer said. “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan. ” Despommier admits tha
26、t there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,” he says. 【小题 1】 Why are people advised to eat local A Because it means convenience(方便 ) to people. B Because it can help people save a lot of money. C Because
27、local food has more nutrition. D Because it is environmentally friendly. 【小题 2】 Which is one of the vertical farms benefits when compared with ordinary farming A It produces healthier food. B It does less harm to the cities. C It needs less space of the city. D It requires less transport costs. 【小题
28、3】 By saying “the sky is the limit in Manhattan”, Stringer means _. A people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan B there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan C the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited D Manhattan can spread as far as possible 【小题 4】 What can we learn abou
29、t the vertical farming in the passage A No soil is needed to grow plants in a vertical farm. B It has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way. C It is a 30-story building with a greenhouse on every floor. D Crops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】

Now Jean comes to the hall only weeks before a tournament when she plays Johnny Goon, her fathers pool manager. That Johnny can beat her
34、shows the gap that now exists in pool as in other sports between the top men and women competitors. “Im supposedly the top woman player, but Id have a hard time beating the number 50 man,” says Jean. “If I was a boy and played pool, Id be a nobody.” Jean thinks that women pool players still have a l
35、ong way to go because pool has been a mans game for so long. “When they think of pool players, people have this picture in their head of gambling(赌博 ) and smoke,” she says. Jean won four of the seven games in these two years. She was as surprised as anyone else at her performance, even though she wa
