A．Thewaystosolvethefoodproblemoftheworld.

B．Anewfarmingtechnology—“verticalfarming”．

C．Themainproblems“verticalfarming”isfacing.

D．Theadvantages“verticalfarming”willbringus.

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。

6．Tothefutureof“verticalfarming”，theauthorisaccordingtothepassage.

A．doubtfulB．pessimistic

C．optimisticD．proud

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乐观态度：

尽管困难很大，但并非不能被克服。

假以时日，这些问题都能被一一解决。

故应选C项。

7．WhichofthefollowingdescriptionsdoesNOTfitawelldesignedverticalfarm?

A．Thewaterinitcanberecycledandthecropwastecanbecomposted.

B．Wasteofthelivestockcanberecycledasasourceofenergy.

C．Thebuildingsinwhichaverticalfarmliesshouldlookbeautiful.

D．Thegasesgivenoffintheprocesscanbeusedtoheatthebuilding.

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。

8．Thefollowingarethebenefitsof“indoorsfarming”EXCEPTthat.

A．“indoorsfarming”canhelppeopletosavealotofland

B．cropscanbeprotectedfromtheharmofnaturaldisaster

C．cropswillbefreefromthedamagecausedbyinsectpests

D．“indoorsfarming”canhelppeoplesavealotofmoney

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。

C
