17. Skyscrapers (High buildings) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall office buildings, multistory five star hotels, and apartment towers with thousands of residents. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However there are experts who think that some skyscrapers should become farms in order to meet the increasing food needs of our planet.
By 2050, some social scientists suggest, almost 80 percent of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the human population could increase to 9. 1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land avai lable for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change by the middle of this century, one prominent expert claims, we will need an area of new land larger than Brazil to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms (垂直农场), where urban farmers could grow crops like wheat in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, environmental health experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. They believe that we can increase food production by changing our thinking from out to up.
Supporters say that vertically grown food would be cultivated with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. Moreover, vertical indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding. Also, the use of chemical pesticides for controlling insects would be minimal.
Critics of vertical farming point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. For these reasons, vertical farms would need additional light sources.
Researchers have found that even in single-story greenhouses, artificial light is often needed for rear-round crops. For example, Thanet Earth is a large indoor farming complex in the United Kingdom that produces 15 percent of the British lettuce crop. During the winter, the complex uses artificial light (人造光) for 15 hours a day. Experts have concluded that generating enough solar energy to support growth requires an area about 20 times larger than the planting area. Therefore, natural light cannot be a practical solution for vertical farms.
Vertical farming is expensive, and unless people want to pay more for fresh, local food, the technique may not succeed in the marketplace. Experts agree that creative farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.

56. Introduction
57. change 58. Advantages/Benefits/Edges
59. keep/hold/maintain
60. pollution

62. distance(s)
63. practical/functional
64. desire/will/willingness
65. contributions/differences
这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了一种新型的农业模式---垂直农业，包括它的优点和缺点以及这种农场的前景。

【56题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由“The problem with urban food shortage will be caused by the increasing population in the city with no change of the quantity of the farming land. Skyscrapers are recommended to be used as farms to solve the problem of food shortage.”可知，城市粮食短缺问题将是由于城市人口不断增加，耕地数量没有变化而造成的。

建议将摩天大楼用作农场，以解决粮食短缺问题。

所以以上是对一种新型农业模式的介绍。

故填Introduction。

【57题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第二段“ yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same”可知，可供耕种的土地数量将是相同的。

所以通过“the same”判断出空处填change。

故填change。

【58题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由“The environment is influenced in a minimal way. Animals will keep their habitats without being forced out. There is no air pollution from using heavy farming equipment. Weather-related problems will not damage crops. Minimal chemical pesticides will be used to control insects and year-round crops will be produced.”可知，环境受到的影响微乎其微。

动物不会被迫离开它们的栖息地。

使用重型农机设备不会造成空气污染。

相关天气问题不会损害农作物。

将使用最低限度的化学杀虫剂来控制昆虫，并可全年生产农作物。

所以以上都在说垂直农场的优势。

故填Advantages/Benefits/Edges。

【59题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第四段“ vertical farming would not force an imals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land”可知，垂直农业不会通过占用大片土地迫使动物离开栖息地。

所以通过“ not force animals out of ”可以判断出，空处填“keep/hold/maintain”。

故填
keep/hold/maintain。

【60题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第四段“ nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy f arming equipment”可知，也不会因使用重型农机设备污染空气。

所以通过“pollute”可以判断出，空处填pollution。

故填pollution。

【61题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第四段“crops would not suffer from weather-related problems like drought or flooding.”可知，作物不会遭受干旱或洪水等与天气有关的问题。

所以通过“suffer from”可以判断出，空处填damage。

故填damage/harm/hurt/harm/hurt/destroy/influence/impact/affect。

【62题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第五段“The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables”可知，远离窗户生长的植物可能不能生产出足够多的或高质量的蔬菜。

所以通过“away from”可以判断出，空处填distance(s)。

故填distance(s)。

【63题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第六段“Therefore, natural light cannot be a practical solution for vertical farms.”可知，因此，自然光不能成为垂直农场的实际解决方案。

所以通过“practical”可以判断出，空处填practical/functional。

故填practical/functional。

【64题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息的能力。

由第七段“ unless people want to pa y more for fresh, local food, the technique may not succeed in the marketplace”可知，除非人们愿意为新鲜的当地食物支付更多的费用，否则这种技术在市场上可能不会成功。

所以通过关键“want ”可知，空处填
“desire/will/willingness”。

故填desire/will/willingness。

【65题详解】
考查归纳总结以及提取信息能力。

由第七段“Experts agree that creative farming practices are needed to support the planet’s need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer”可知，专家们一致认为，需要创造性的耕作方法，以满足地球上越来越多的粮食需求，使农民和消费者都能负担得起。

垂直农场可能是一个小规模的解决方案。

所以通过“support, at affordable costs”可以判断出，空处填contributions/differences。

故填contributions/differences。

19. One spring, when I was 10, during one of my father’s layoffs (失业), I could tell my mother was unhappy. I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins, which, I learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles. I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins, telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present.
“Do you think she’d like a purse?” she asked. I told her. I thought she might.
She took out an Italian handbag made of leather. She asked me what I thought, and I told her that my mom would like it.
“How much money do you have?” she asked.
“Twelve dollars,” I said.
“You’re in luck,” she told me. “It’s only $11. You have a dollar left over for the card.” She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and I rode off home with the package under my arm.
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “Where did
you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins. It cost me $11.” I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn’t until many years later, when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me. I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.
“You know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said, “Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I’ll never forget.”
