Many people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.

Alexandra Sullivan, a food systems researcher 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 agriculture 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, vegetables, 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 because a city doesn’t 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 isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable 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. 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 the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion about urban agriculture?

A. Urban agriculture has developed recently.

B. Urban agriculture takes too much city space.

C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.

D. Urban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture.

2.For traditional agriculture, urban agriculture is a(n) ________.

A. model　　 B. addition

C. competitor　　 D. replacement

3.What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?

A. It has large farming areas.

B. It can only grow single products.

C. It produces enough food for citizens.

D. It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables.

4.What is the author’s opinion on the urban farms?

A. Critical.　　 B. Positive.

C. Worried.　　 D. Confused.

You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn’t the case in some parts of America. The U. S. has many areas that are considered as food deserts, which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food, usually found in poor areas.

Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away, and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away. According to the USDA, 19 million Americans — or 6.2% of the population — live in places that can be considered as food deserts.

The issue isn’t necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it’s about a lack of access to healthy choices at all. And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.

Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight, which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers.

But some people, especially those who cannot afford a car, are stuck with eating what’s readily available. In the case of food deserts, it’s usually the type of food that can lead to overweight. Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas. When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.

Lack of access is only one part of the problem, however. The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.

While overweight is a significant issue in these communities, the cost of unhealthy eating isn’t just physical. A study found that 71 billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic (慢性的) diseases could be saved through healthier eating.

1.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?

A.6.2% of the Americans live in poor areas.

B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.

C.Some people in America don’t need fresh fruit.

D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily

2.Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?

A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.

B.The fast food sold in the food deserts are of lower cost.

C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.

D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.

3.We can learn from Paragraph 5 that the low-income people______.

A.are less likely to have overweight problems

B.are not delighted to prepare food for themselves

C.have to buy food that can be preserved longer

D.are used to eating food donated by food companies

4.What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?

A.Their high healthcare cost due to the chronic diseases.

B.Their long established eating habits.

C.The government’s lack of financial support.

D.Their lack of education and knowledge in nutrition.
