A
Big
changes
in
agriculture
are
taking
place
in
Singapore.The
small,Southeast
Asian
nation
is
leading
a
farming
revolution,according
to
the
Reuters.
Singapore
covers
about
720
square
kilometers
of
land
and
only
one
percent
of
that
land
is
used
for
agriculture.Food
production
costs
are
higher
there
than
those
in
the
rest
of
Southeast
Asia.As
climate
change
and
population
growth
threaten
the
food
supply,the
pressure
is
on
new
farmers
to
answer
the
government’s
call
“grow
more
with
less”.
“Whenever
I
talk
about
food
security
in
Singapore,I
tell
people
not
to
think
land—think
space,because
you
can
go
upwards
and
sideways,”said
Paul
Teng,an
agriculture
professor
at
Nanyang
Technological
University.
There
are
more
than
30
vertical(垂直的)
farms
in
Singapore.Sustenir
Agriculture
is
one
of
these
businesses.Its
hydroponic(水栽的)
farm
grows
non-native
foods
like
cherry
tomatoes
and
strawberries
inside
buildings
under
artificial
lighting.Then
it
sells
the
produce
to
local
supermarkets
and
online
stores.Sustenir
raised$16
million
from
investors(投资者)
last
year.The
money
will
be
used
to
expand
operations
in
Singapore.
However,not
everyone
thinks
the
new
technology
is
best.Egg
farmer
William
Ho
said
the
government
should
not
depend
so
much
on
agriculture
technology
businesses.“Many
of
them
have
failed.That’s
why
I’m
always
asking
the
government
why
you
don’t
invest
in
us
old-timers.We
are
more
practical,”
he
said.Professor
Paul
Teng
said
an
issue
for
urban
farmers
is
that
the
high
cost
of
the
technology
makes
their
products
too
pricey
for
many
people.
1.What

the

paragraph
mainly
discuss?
A.High
food
production
costs.
B.Reasons
for
changes
in
agriculture.
C.Agricultural
technology
businesses.
D.Sales
expansion
of
food
markets.
2.What
is
the
way
to
achieve
food
security
according
to
Paul
Teng?
A.Exploring
space
for
land.
B.Buying
more
food.
C.Enlarging
farmland.
D.Investing
more
money.
3.What
do
we
know
about
the
old-timers?
A.They
work
on
high-tech
farms.
B.They
benefit
from
pricey
products.
C.They
reduce
production
costs.
D.They
need
the
government’s
support.

(2020·山东模考卷)
Organic
food
is
very
popular.It
is
also
expensive.Some
organic
food
costs
twice
as
much
as
non-organic
food,but
new
parents
and
pet
owners
are
willing
to
pay
up
to
200%
more
for
organic
food.However,there
are
people
who
think
it
is
a
waste
of
money.
There
is
one
main
difference
between
organic
and
non-organic
food.Organic
farms
do
not
use
agricultural
chemicals,such
as
pesticides(杀虫剂).In
many
countries
organic
foods
have
special
labels.These
guarantee
that
the
products
are
natural.
Some
people
think
organic
means
locally
grown.Originally
this
was
true.Over
time
organic
farming
became
more
difficult.The
demand
for
organic
food
grew
larger
than
the
supply.Small
companies
had
to
sell
out
to
large
companies.There
weren’t
enough
organic
ingredients(原料),such
as
grain
and
cattle.This
made
it
difficult
for
many
organic
companies
to
stay
in
business.Today,many
large
companies
have
an
organic
line
of
products.
Is
organic
food
more
nutritious?This
is
part
of
the
debate.Many
farmers
and
consumers
believe
it
is.They
think
agricultural
chemicals
cause
health
problems
such
as
cancer.Many
health
professionals
disagree.Few
studies
prove
that
organic
foods
prevent
health
problems.Health
specialists
worry
more
about
bacteria(病毒),such
as
E.coli
and
salmonella.These
can
get
into
contact
with
organic
and
non-organic
food.Doctors
recommend
washing
produce
very
carefully.Handling
meat
carefully
is
important
too.
Most
people
agree
that
naturally
grown
food
tastes
better.Is
tastier
food
worth
the
extra
money?
This
is
a
matter
of
opinion.Whether
it
is
healthier
or
not
may
require
more
research.However,organic
consumers
argue
it
is
better
to
be
safe
than
sorry.
5.What
is
probably
the
major
concern
of
organic
food
consumers?
A.Price.
B.Safety.
C.Freshness.
D.Variety.
6.What
is
the
doctors’
suggestion?
A.Grow
your
own
food.
B.Reduce
the
use
of
pesticides.
C.Make
sure
the
food
is
clean.
D.Buy
large
companies’
products.
7.Which
of
the
following
do
most
people
agree
on
organic
food?
A.It
tastes
better.
B.It
is
easier
to
grow.
C.It
contains
more
fat.
D.It
is
more
nutritious.
8.Where
does
this
text
probably
come
from?
A.A
recipe
book.
B.A
chemistry
paper.
C.A
medical
report.
D.A
health
magazine.
