Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food systems res

12、earcher in New York, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban ag

13、riculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city residents grow fruits, vegetab

14、les, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is

15、 because a city doesnt have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isnt a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop veget

16、able farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants

17、. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.1、Which of

18、the following is Ms. Sullivans opinion about urban agriculture?AUrban agriculture has developed recently.BUrban agriculture takes too much city space.CUrban agriculture has a history as long as cities.DUrban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture.2、For traditional agriculture, urban agr

26、3（8分） My love for dogs goes as far back as my first memory. As a little girl，I collected dog toys. At 5 years old，I was ready and willing to run away with the family dog after the threat of giving him away when he chewed up the sofa. Luckily he stayed and my affection for mans best friend continued.

27、 As an adult，my reasons for wanting to adopt a dog were purely selfish. I wanted a companion.

28、 at home in and fall in love with my Shanghai community. It seemed to me that being a tall blonde didnt already attract a lot of curious stares；add a 12kilogram black dog that believes everyone is his best friend to the picture and locals seem even more intrigued. The decision to adopt Xiao Hei defi

29、nitely fulfilled those early selfish desires，but the experience has also brought me closer to my neighbors and made me feel more at home.A few months after I first brought Xiao Hei home，I spotted the group of elderly Chinese people who gather at the park. After realizing they go there most weeknight

30、s，I decided it would be a good way to help Xiao Hei socialize with other dogs. After a few visits，it was not only an opportunity for him to play but also a chance for me to practice my Chinese. Most Chinese give their dogs English names，but youve given him a Chinese name. Very interesting，they laugh

31、ed.

The movie the Wandering Earth brings a serious question to the audience: What are you going to do when facing an unavoidable disaster to our civilization? All characters in the movie are ordinar

35、y people and everyone gives their answer with shining humanity. Against all the odds(逆境)without a good fight. The chance of success is close to zero but they choose hope.

It is part of its

42、 plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost 1.4 billion for the 1G wavelengths, and to compen

43、sate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UKs first hologram (全息) call.

Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a

46、 new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 1G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 1G and 4G, and the f

47、irst 1G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 1G phone well before 1G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.1、Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could b

48、e a case of the emperors new clothes”?AHe is in favor of the application of the new technology.B1G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C1G helps people communicate better with each other.DHe prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.2、The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth
