22、In 2019, Gotham Greens opened its 9,300-square-metre Baltimore farm on the former site of Bethlehem Steel, which was the largest steel-manufacturing plant in the world. 【1】 It aimed to repurpose unused rooftop spaces and abandoned factories for food production.
Urban populations are projected to increase by 2. 5 billion by 2050. 【2】 But despite the rise in city-based farms, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them, including the economic and environmental costs.
Florian Payen, an environmental scientist, and his colleagues looked at previous studies done in 53 countries where crops were grown in different urban environments, including “grey” spaces such as rooftops, and by using different growing methods. They found that yields(产量) of urban crops were often the same as those from conventional farms. Just as importantly, they revealed the most commonly-grown types of crops and the most effective growing methods. 【3】
It’s known that the benefit of urban farming is a reduction in food miles. 【4】 In one study, researchers analyzed the carbon footprint of different vegetables grown in greenhouses in Canada and that of the importing vegetables from the USA. “They found that it was less carbon-intensive to import the crops because of the high energy input required to grow them locally in greenhouses,” says Payen.
【5】Urban agriculture has the potential to enhance local ecosystems, attracting pollinators (传粉媒介) such as bees and birds that boost urban biodiversity while providing more green spaces to help keep cities cool and counter the urban heat island effect.
A．But there are other benefits.
B．Urban agriculture can help feed our growing cities.
C．It’s well worth investing in rooftop gardens or greenhouses.
D．The farm was one of the farms the company had set up in cities.
E．Urban agriculture in any given city can take lots of different forms.
F．However, urban-grown crops aren’t a more environmentally friendly option.
G．Surprisingly, they found little difference in overall yields between indoor and outdoor spaces.
23、"Don't take many English courses； they won't help you get a good job.” "Sign up for management classes, so you'll be ready to join the family business when you graduate." Sound familiar? 【1】 Such comments often seem quite reasonable.
Why, then, should suggestions like these be taken with careful consideration? 【2】 You are the one who must live with their consequences.
One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make after you've considered seriously and then selected the path that is really suitable for you.
【3】 For instance, your parents do have their own unique experiences that make their advice helpful, and having participated in a great deal of your personal history, they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses. Still, their views are not necessarily correct. They may still see you as a child, in need of care and protection. Or they may see only your strength. 【4】
People will always be giving your advice. Finally, though, you have to make your own judgments.
A．Making your own decisions does not mean that you should ignore others' suggestions.
B．Or, in some unfortunate cases, they may concentrate only on your shortcomings.
C．You must have heard such suggestions given by parents or others close to you.
D．We often base our choice of path in life on parents' suggestions.
E．The reason is that they relate to the decisions you should make
F．It is a big challenge to measure our strengths and weaknesses.
24、One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date (使用期限), but 60% of the food we throw away each year is safe to eat.
In order to help detect spoilage (变质) and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers, researchers have developed spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging. The researchers say the sensors could also finally replace the use-by date — a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.
The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smartphone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.
The researchers made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes (电极) onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.
Lead author Dr. Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering said, “Although they’re designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date. These sensors are cheap enough, so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”
【1】What is the purpose of PEGS?
A．To test the freshness of food.
B．To make food taste better.
C．To help supermarkets store food.
D．To keep the meat and fish fresh.
【2】What can we know about the sensors in paragraph 4?
A．They are made of special paper.
B．They don’t produce pollution.
C．They are built in mobile devices.
D．They directly show people information.
【3】What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates?
A．They are not completely reliable.
B．They determine the freshness of food.
C．They can help reduce food waste.
D．They help prevent food-borne diseases.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The process of developing spoilage sensors.
B．A new device in packaging to reduce food waste.
C．The application of spoilage sensors in food processing.
D．Use-by dates’ influence on supermarkets and consumers.
